U.S.A and Canada Franchise Information

Thank you for investigating the Duraclean Franchise Opportunity. Duraclean is a business format franchise in the service industry. The number of services that a Duraclean Franchise can offer has increased dramatically since our beginning in 1930.
	In the beginning rug cleaning was the sole revenue source for Duraclean businesses.		Our offering soon grew into upholstery cleaning, with techniques that could be used on the most delicate and expensive fabrics.
Since then Duraclean has added multiple services to stay in the forefront of our marketplace. As our research developed the service we added it to the possibilities of the Franchise System.
You're in control, you can add services when it is in your best interest. The choice to add is yours and NO additional franchise fee if you do decide to add a service or services. Today our initial package for a new Duraclean Franchise includes four major services: Mold Remediation Water Restoration Carpet & Rug Cleaning Upholstery Cleaning As it became more and more apparent that the mitigation of the interior structure and contents of business and homes affected by floods and minor water damage could save insurance companies tens of millions of dollars; Duraclean added "Water Restoration" in 1984.
