Vanguard Cleaning Systems does not sign long-term contracts with its clients; instead, they rely on performance-based reviews to maintain customers. They pride themselves in personalized service, providing a personal account manager for each of their clients. The personal account manager sets a customizable cleaning schedule and provides quality control follow-up as well. Vanguard Cleaning Systems uses only the highest quality of products and equipment to complete its cleaning services. The company offers two types of opportunities: a janitorial franchise and a master franchise. These two opportunities are the reason the company has become so successful. Interested people can choose between the hands-on, owner-and-operator type of work or a more business-minded master franchise opportunity.
