Floor-Tek is a commercial floor-care franchise founded in 1990 in Southern California, now headquartered in San Diego, California. The brand began as a convenience-store floor-cleaning service and expanded into broader commercial markets such as airports, grocery chains, and restaurants.

‍Floor-Tek started franchising after establishing its successful model and now offers franchise opportunities across defined, protected territories.

The core services include VCT, concrete, hardwood, carpet, and janitorial care. Specialized treatments offered are strip-and-wax, scrub-and-recoat, carpet extraction, and other deep-cleaning services. Floor-Tek uses high-speed propane buffers, top-quality chemicals, and professional-grade equipment to deliver superior results.

What sets Floor-Tek apart is its focus on recession-resistant commercial cleaning, tailored maintenance plans, and high product standards. It emphasizes efficiency, consistency, and long-term client retention.

Training

Floor-Tek generally does not offer a formal training program to its franchisees. Most franchisees are already experienced in floor maintenance and janitorial services, and thus the franchisor deems training unnecessary in typical cases.

However, if a franchisee lacks experience or explicitly requests training, Floor-Tek may consider providing it. This ad hoc approach to training highlights the franchisor's flexibility but also places responsibility on the franchisee to assess their own preparedness.

There are no structured or mandatory initial or ongoing training modules as part of the franchise agreement. As a result, potential franchisees should evaluate their operational readiness before committing to the business.

Territory Protection

Floor-Tek provides its franchisees with a non-exclusive territory, defined geographically and included as an exhibit in the franchise agreement. The franchisee's business is organized around an approved route within this territory, which can be adjusted over time by mutual agreement.

While the territory is assigned, Floor-Tek does not grant exclusivity, meaning franchisees may face competition from other franchisees. Additionally, franchisees are not required to maintain their office within their assigned territory, offering some operational flexibility.

They are restricted from operating outside their defined route without explicit permission from Floor-Tek. Although the franchisee is limited to servicing customers within their route, Floor-Tek retains the right to authorize overlapping or nearby operations by other franchisees or by the company itself.
