360clean has come a long way since it was founded as part-time janitorial service company in 2005 by Barry Bodiford and Allison Bodiford, a full-time pharmaceutical industry employee at the time of the company’s beginning. When the company was incorporated in 2005, 360clean employed only a half-dozen employees and serviced 3 customers.
Today, that start-up corporation is the innovative leader of the janitorial service industry and services customers in 8 states with the goal of being nationwide by 2012. The company’s growth has been achieved through the franchise business model and the company has never lost focus of its objectives:
Remain Customer Focused
Remain Innovative
Develop Strong Business Leaders
Grow Profitably
Embrace Change
Commitment to Innovation and Diversifaction
The company’s proprietary JaniMed™ cleaning system combines innovative equipment and processes that not only provide a clean workplace environment, but decreases illness causing germs in all areas of facilities serviced. Additionally, the use of microfiber decreases the amount of airborne dust which creates a healthier facility for our customers and their visitors.
The company has remained committed to advancing the JaniMed system and in 2010 implemented a Touch Surface Focus Cleaning technique and the system is now environmentally conscious through the use of certain environmentally friendly equipment and chemicals.
