ServiceMaster Green is your partner in clean

A message from owner Rich Emery

Innovation, stability, trust and performance are what you get when you partner with ServiceMaster Green to clean and maintain your commercial property.

Green cleaning is relatively new, but the ServiceMaster franchise my wife and I started in metropolitan Des Moines is time-tested. We first hung out a shingle in 1980, and at the end of our first year we were cleaning approximately 100,000 square feet of commercial property in the Des Moines area with a team of three employees.

Today, ServiceMaster Green has the largest market share of any contract cleaner in Des Moines. We have approximately 375 full-time employees cleaning more than 10 million square feet of commercial space on a daily basis. That represents about 30 percent of all the commercially cleaned property in metropolitan Des Moines.

Our client list includes major Des Moines-area companies with massive facilities like The Principal Financial Group, Pioneer Hi-Bred International and Wells Fargo. However, we provide the same great cleaning and maintenance service to companies with much smaller operations as well. Whether a company is large or small, I consider it an honor and a privilege whenever someone allows us to serve them.

We decided in 2007 that we could better serve our existing and future clients — and be better stewards of the environment — by making a commitment to green cleaning. So we embraced new cleaning technologies and products and we rebranded ourselves, changing our name from ServiceMaster Building Maintenance to ServiceMaster Green. By going green with your building cleaning and maintenance, not only are you helping the environment, you can save some green, too. Studies show green cleaning promotes a healthier work force and results in an improved bottom line. To learn more, click on green stats and facts.

In the summer of 2008, we became one of just nine local cleaning services throughout the U.S. to achieve Green Seal certification. Find out more about our Green Seal designation by going to our home site.

Although I’m proud of what our company has accomplished in nearly three decades of serving the Des Moines area, I’m most proud of our team of professionals who are the reason for our success. The relationships we establish and maintain while serving customers is one of the things that sets us apart from our competition. Click this link to learn more about the Green team.
