Franchising Opportunities

Stanley Steemer has been cleaning America’s homes and businesses since 1947, when founder Jack A. Bates invested $2,300 in a single home-based carpet cleaning operation. Nearly 80 years later, the Stanley Steemer® system has grown into a nationwide network of company-owned branches and independently owned and operated franchise locations serving 49 states.

Over the decades, our services have expanded beyond carpet cleaning to include upholstery, tile and grout, hardwood, air ducts, and 24-hour emergency water restoration. Our iconic yellow vans remain a familiar sight in neighborhoods and business districts everywhere. Despite this tremendous growth, Stanley Steemer remains family-owned and continues to uphold the same high standards of quality and professionalism established by our founder.

The Stanley Steemer® franchise system is one of the most established in the United States, with most territories already exclusively licensed. This exclusivity is a benefit to our franchise owners, who enjoy strong brand recognition and protected markets. While new opportunities are limited, we welcome inquiries and can advise whether availability exists in your area.
