What KleenMark does

KleenMark is a commercial cleaning services company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, founded in 1964 by Jack Stevenson and still family-owned, with branch offices in Milwaukee and Appleton serving Wisconsin, northern Michigan, northern Illinois, and Salt Lake City markets. The company provides janitorial and facility-maintenance services for facilities of 40,000 square feet or larger across seven verticals: healthcare, manufacturing, commercial, education, events, construction, and biotech/life sciences. Core service lines include contract cleaning, green cleaning (CIMS-GB certified), disinfection, infection control (trained against AORN recommended practices), specialty services, construction cleanup, equipment rental and maintenance, and consulting.

Technology components include KleenMark Connect (a web/mobile maintenance management platform for work-order tracking and inspection reports), autonomous robotic floor scrubbers, Kikkoman Lumitester A3 ATP/ADP/AMP testing for quantitative cleanliness validation, Dry Hydrogen Peroxide air disinfection technology, and a carbon-fiber pole high-reach cleaning system. The company holds ISSA CIMS and CIMS-GB certifications, GBAC STAR accreditation, and Academy of Cleaning (ACE) certification, and operates a KleenMark University training program with monthly specialty training supported by an in-house bilingual recruiting team.

Revenue is generated primarily through long-term, custom-quoted janitorial contracts billed annually, supplemented by equipment rental (usage-based), equipment maintenance programs (managed services), product and equipment consulting, and a direct e-commerce storefront at shop.kleenmark.com selling commercial cleaning supplies and green-certified chemicals. Go-to-market is sales-led through dedicated regional account managers, supported by an inside-sales quote-request flow on the corporate website and content marketing via the KleenMark Learn blog, social media, and the Quick Kleen video series. Named enterprise customers span Cornerstone Construction, MIG Commercial Real Estate, ETE REMAN, Exact Sciences, and the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
