About Champion Clean

Champion Clean had its beginnings in 1997 with the objective of providing outstanding cleaning services to city, county and state government facilities as well as services for all types of private company facilities including office buildings, day care centers, auto dealerships, medical building, theaters and more. Of all the industries in the United States, the commercial cleaning business has become one of the biggest business booms of the last decade. Think of all the office buildings, lawyer's offices, banks, and thousands of other companies in your community all paying to have ther facilities cleaned on a regular basis and you will immediately understand why. In fact, commercial cleaning is an industry generating over $45 billion a year in revenues! It's also been called a recession-proof business because, regardless of the state of economy, businesses need to have clean office space and work facilities. The U.S. Commerce Department expects growth in the commercial cleaning and maintenance service industries to increase by 20% a year. Also, think about when commercial cleaning is typically performed: after normal operating hours. This gives you the flexibility to work your new business at your own pace while still keeping your present job.
