Kept Companies

What Kept Companies does

Kept Companies (formerly Fleetwash, founded 1973, headquartered in Fairfield, NJ) is a PE-backed parent company of nine facility maintenance brands — Fleetwash, Fleet Clean, Krystal Klean, GlideRite, Climco Mechanical, Grease Pro, EnviroClean, MaintainThat, and SunScrub — delivering mobile and on-site cleaning, maintenance, and specialty services to commercial, industrial, transportation, and residential customers across the United States. The platform operates 140+ service locations, deploys 1,250+ mobile units daily, and employs 1,700+ trained field staff, executing 5M+ truck washes, 100,000+ HVAC refrigeration cleanings, 12,000+ parking lot jobs, and 50,000+ work orders for Walgreens alone each year. Core technology includes custom in-house service platforms, a mobile app for field crews, an IoT-based shopping cart tracking system for grocery retailers, a client portal with work verification documentation, and a granted patent for a wastewater recovery system that safely eliminates 15M+ gallons of water per year.

The company generates revenue through managed-services contracts and bundled subscription pricing (up to 20% savings when two or more services are bundled), with quote-based pricing structured around service type, job size, distance, and frequency plus a usage-based weekly fuel surcharge tied to the DOE diesel index. Go-to-market is enterprise-led: dedicated field sales representatives engage multi-site facility managers at retail chains, supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, food warehouses, and transportation/fleet operators, supported by industry-specific landing pages and a 'Request a Quote' funnel. Customer segments are predominantly enterprise verticals (supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, retail, food warehouses, transportation) with a long-tail of 40,000+ residential pressure-washing customers. Capital structure is private; DFW Capital Partners invested in May 2023 alongside the Fleetwash-to-Kept Companies rebranding, and Kept has executed an aggressive acquisition cadence — closing Pressure Pros (Nov 2023), EcoSweep (Dec 2023), Giant Enterprises (Jan 2024), CarePro National Painting (July 2024), and three additional deals in June 2026 (Architectural Refinishing Solutions, Blue Power Wash, Jimco Maintenance) — reaching 134+ acquisitions since 1973.
