Brainerd, MN - Janitorial service companies must manage costs, identify best practices in cleaning and business operations, market their services and keep employees happy. TheJanitorialStore.com now provides these companies with one-stop, comprehensive resources, support and information to help them do all that and more.

Co-founder Steve Hanson recalls that when he started his first cleaning company back in the 1980s, “We didn’t have the Internet or associations that could help a small cleaning company grow.” Out of necessity, he developed training programs, manuals, and customized forms, specific to the janitorial industry.

Two successful cleaning companies later, Hanson decided to share his hard-earned knowledge, by building an online community for the owners of small cleaning companies. “We’ve conceived of TheJanitorialStore.com as a place they can go to for all the tools and resources they need to grow their company and take it to the next level.”

Members of TheJanitorialStore.com have access to industry-specific articles (with an emphasis on small-business perspectives), active discussion groups and online calculators for everything from job estimating to dilution formulas. Value-priced memberships also enable companies to participate in live training teleconferences, download customized forms, and purchase cleaning products at members-only prices. Non-members may participate in training and purchase product and training programs at retail rates.

“I’m amazed at the wealth of information available to me through my membership with TheJanitorialStore.com” says Donna Evans, charter member of the online community. “I’ve already gained new business as a direct result of asking questions about how to improve my bidding and estimating process. Plus the online and telephone discussion forums are great because I can share information and ask questions of other cleaning business owners who have many of the same concerns.”

"We believe that to be successful, do what successful people do. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel" say Joseph Gorse, of Omni Enterprises in North Carolina. "All the info is here for a VERY small monthly fee for membership. That membership fee has paid for itself 10-fold in the past 2 months!"
