About Us

BIOSWEEP is an innovative odor removal and indoor air and surface decontamination service. We do not use any chemicals and are considered a green technology. BIOSWEEP was developed by Phocatox Technologies and is the sole manufacturer. BIOSWEEP is used to permanently remove odors and disinfect or decontaminate indoor air and exposed surfaces contaminated from sources including:

• Viruses and bacteria.
• Molds and allergens.
• Chemicals and material offgasing (including meth lab cleanup).
• Sewage / Septic
• Bio-hazards such as trauma and crime scene cleanup
• Flooding

Products and Services

BIOSWEEP is different from anything currently on the market for odor remediation or air and surface decontamination. Your competition will consist primarily of ozone treatment, air filtration, or chemical fogging services. However, unlike the competition, our proprietary Phocatox technology is based on an advanced form of photocatalytic oxidation that is vastly superior, much more effective and time efficient.

Why BIOSWEEP Franchise?

BIOSWEEP franchisees determine their own local services rates and we will offer you practical guidelines based on our market research and field experience. As a BIOSWEEP franchisee you will receive a protected geographic territory ranging from 700,000 to 1.6 million in population.

The BIOSWEEP franchise is a mobile services business easily operated and managed by one person in the beginning. Our franchisees then add on technician-level employees as their business steadily grows.

Next Steps

The initial franchisee fee consists solely of the equipment purchase, consisting of the BIOSWEEP Model 900 machines and additional safety and monitoring equipment. Our franchisees initially purchase six BIOSWEEP Model 900's at a cost of $6,495 each. Average total investment necessary to begin operation of a BIOSWEEP franchise ranges from $56,000 to $70,000.

The start up for a new BIOSWEEP franchisee varies widely depending on the amount of time devoted to the business and your background and experience. Because the BIOSWEEP technology is fairly new, in-person cold calling (direct sales) on potential customers is essential to your success. Our most successful franchisees have found that "show and tell" presentations lead to high acceptance from potential customers.
