Founded in 2006 and based in Lakewood, Colorado, Oxi Fresh has become a trailblazer in the carpet cleaning industry by combining sustainability with innovation. The brand has grown swiftly, gaining national recognition for its commitment to delivering fast, efficient, and environmentally responsible carpet cleaning services.
Since launching its franchise program the same year it was established, Oxi Fresh has opened the door for aspiring business owners to join its green mission. Its model empowers franchisees with a proven system focused on customer satisfaction and cutting-edge technology.
What truly differentiates Oxi Fresh is its unique use of oxygen-based cleaning solutions. This advanced approach penetrates deep into carpet fibers while using minimal water—resulting in significantly faster drying times compared to conventional cleaning methods.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Oxi Fresh provides a comprehensive suite of training programs to ensure franchisees are well-equipped to operate successfully:
Oxi Fresh grants its franchisees a defined "Protected Territory" in which no other Oxi Fresh businesses will be operated or franchised by the company. This territory is delineated by zip codes, city limits, or other geographical markers and typically includes around 110,000 households.
As long as the franchisee remains in compliance with their agreement, this territory is secured, even if population density increases. However, the protection is not absolute.
Other franchisees may conduct Broad Area Marketing that reaches into a franchisee’s Protected Territory and may accept business from referrals or unsolicited inquiries originating there. Furthermore, Oxi Fresh reserves the right to temporarily authorize another franchisee to operate within your Protected Territory if you report an inability to service certain areas.
