360clean is a unique commercial cleaning franchise that focuses on health-oriented office cleaning services. Founded in 2005 by Barry and Allison Bodiford in Charleston, South Carolina, the company has grown from a small, part-time janitorial service into a nationally recognized brand.
Its headquarters remain in Charleston, and it began franchising in 2008.
The franchise distinguishes itself by prioritizing germ and infection control, aiming to provide not just visually clean but also hygienically safe environments. This innovative approach has positioned 360clean as a leader in the janitorial service industry, earning accolades for its commitment to health-focused cleaning.

360clean provides a comprehensive training program designed to equip franchisees with the necessary skills and knowledge to successfully operate their business. The training program includes:
The 360clean franchise does not offer territory protection to its franchisees. This means that franchisees do not have exclusive rights to a specific geographic area, and they may face competition from other 360clean franchises or other cleaning service providers within the same region.
The absence of exclusive territory rights can impact the market potential and competitive landscape for individual franchise owners, as they might have to compete with fellow franchisees operating nearby.
This arrangement requires franchisees to be proactive and innovative in their marketing and customer service efforts to maintain and grow their client base despite the competition.
