OctoClean

What OctoClean does

OctoClean (legally OctoClean Franchising Systems, Inc.) is a private, family-owned commercial cleaning franchisor headquartered at 1695 Spruce St, Suite 100, Riverside, California, with a regional office in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded by Chuck and Yvonne Stowe in 1991 as Service Pros and rebranded to OctoClean in 2000, the company operates a franchise network of 60+ franchise owners across five Southern California counties (Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles) and Maricopa County, Arizona.

The company's core products and services include general janitorial cleaning, electrostatic disinfection via the EvaClean Protexus system paired with PUR:ONE/PURTABS EPA-registered disinfectant tablets, enhanced disinfection protocols, floor care, carpet and upholstery care, outdoor maintenance, parking lot sweeping, day porter services, and a healthcare-specialty medical cleaning line (surgery centers, dialysis centers, hospitals, outpatient centers, medical universities, dental offices) led by a CHESP-certified VP of Training and Compliance. Training is delivered through the Rise Dashboard online LMS and OctoClean University, with standardized quality assurance inspections and 24/7 customer support.

The business model combines two revenue streams: (1) recurring monthly janitorial and specialty cleaning contracts won by a corporate field sales and inside sales team through facility audits and custom proposals, which are then serviced by franchise owners; and (2) franchise fees from initial franchise sales with multi-tiered packages disclosed via a price guide. Customer segments are vertical-organized around healthcare, educational institutions, and commercial buildings, with named enterprise accounts including Loma Linda University Medical Center, Loma Linda University Health, DaVita, American Medical Response, Riverside Medical Clinic, Adelante Health, Giant RV, Loma Linda Academy, and Path of Life Ministries. The company also offers landscaping services through its sister company, OctoGreen.
