STORY
In 2005, Steve and Jean Hanson founded My House Cleaning Biz.com to be a resource that cleaning business owners could depend on. With over 30 years of experience in the cleaning industry, they created a comprehensive resource center that addressed the day-to-day needs of cleaning professionals. Their platform offered training videos, certifications, systems, and coaching/mentorship to help businesses START, OPERATE, and SCALE successfully.

The Janitorial Store is where those in THE BUSINESS OF CLEANING begin to take the practical knowledge everyone has ready access to and incorporate that baseline knowledge into REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCES, CONNECTIONS, and APPLICATIONS —which is where the true value of The Janitorial Store lives.

In 2021, The Janitorial Store was acquired by a group of industry peers—Ricardo Regalado, Juan Padilla, John Disselkamp, Michael Dahlke, Saul Marchan, and Armando Bello—who shared the vision of further expanding the platform's resources and providing personalized growth roadmaps to cleaning business owners.

In early 2025, The Janitorial Store joined forces with Route, a platform recognized for its commitment to empowering cleaning companies with cutting-edge technology, tools, and community support focused around four core paths - SALES, MARKETPLACE, COMMUNITY and EDUCATION. This partnership brings even more innovation and enhanced resources, ensuring that cleaning business owners have the tools they need to succeed.

Today, The Janitorial Store continues to grow, with members in all 50 U.S. states and over 35 countries. We are proud to be a reliable and trusted resource that cleaning businesses can turn to for GUIDANCE, COACHING, MENTORSHIP, and COMMUNITY. With the right support, cleaning businesses everywhere can grow with confidence and purpose.
