With over 50 years’ experience in creating successful businesses, Safeclean are the UK’s leading carpet and upholstery cleaning franchise.

As a Safeclean franchisee you have the opportunity to run your business as a sole trader or a management franchise, providing you with the potential to grow your business and employ your own staff.

We believe in giving our franchisees independence and flexibility as a business owner, whilst providing ongoing support to aid business development. Our franchisees are given full training and support from day one via a 4 week induction programme, providing you with strong foundations to run a successful carpet and upholstery cleaning business. This level of support continues throughout your franchise agreement. We provide regular, free training courses for you and your staff, bespoke 1-2-1 business training sessions as required and regular business reviews.

Any home or business that has flooring or upholstery is a potential customer, so there are opportunities for business everywhere.

This vast potential comes without the necessity of previous experience. Whilst experience in management or the cleaning industry would be advantageous, it’s the right attitude that matters most. The more you’re prepared to put in, the more you’ll get back.

What makes Safeclean really unique is its global backing by worldwide Furniture Protection Plan provider, Guardsman.  Via their regular insurance work, there is the potential for Guardsman to provide approximately 10-20% of your overall turnover. As well as paid work, these service appointments act as a warm lead, providing you with the chance to showcase your skills right there in the consumer’s home to gain further private work. With over 100 years’ experience, Guardsman have developed strong relationships with some of the UK’s biggest furniture retailers. As a franchisee you can use these relationships to access jobs and gain referrals to more customers.
