We are meeting with Christin Myers - Regional Director of the OpenWorks franchise opportunity. OpenWorks is guided by a simple philosophy: A cleaner, safer, healthier environment means a more productive workplace. Our goal at OpenWorks is to offer more than maintenance by working with you to improve your work environment. This is what motivates and challenges OpenWorks to go the extra mile. OpenWorks was founded in 1983 by its current CEO, Eric Roudi. Roudi, a career entrepreneur, realized commercial cleaning was a massive and underserved $100 billion industry. There were very few professional commercial cleaning companies at this time. Already intrigued by franchising, Roudi saw a great business opportunity by combining franchising and commercial cleaning to create the unique concept we know today.

Nero had been a carpet cleaning business employee and saw the harmful chemicals used in the cleaning solutions. Nero was determined to find a solution that would be less harmful and completely organic. After all, wet carpets and dark places are the ultimate breeding ground for mold and mildew to grow - and to have your kids and pets rolling around on that is a little unsettling to the stomach.
