    Siddharth and Shannon Kumar have recently become franchise owners for ECOMAIDS®, a home and business cleaning service which uses only green and environmentally safe products, in the Dayton, Ohio-area.

    One of the fastest growing franchise concepts in the United States, EcoMaids is changing the way people think of cleaning, by providing non-toxic, holistic maid services that keep families and pets safe.

There are additional opportunities in hundreds of communities across the U.S. for prospective franchisees to purchase a territory and start their own EcoMaids business.

    “EcoMaids is excited to welcome the Kumars to the EcoMaids family,” says Douglas Stoyer, EcoMaids’ president of franchise operations. “Under Siddharth’s leadership, EcoMaids will continue to satisfy a growing demand in Dayton for high quality, eco-friendly cleaning services.”

    In addition to experiencing an unparalleled training program that prepares them, with or without educational experience, with the tools they need to succeed as business owners, EcoMaids franchisees also benefit from:

  • Family-owned chimney business focuses on quality service

    30 Dec 2010 8:48 AM | IJCSA - (Administrator)

    The business now known as Kleen Sweep Chimney Service began with a chimney fire in 1975 at Al and Sherry Koklich's home.

    After Al -- at the time employed at the Newark Air Force Base -- succeeded in cleaning his own chimney, word spread to neighbors and friends. Business grew.

    He took a course in chimney service, and by 1978, Koklich was an official chimney sweep, showing up at jobs wearing the profession's traditional tailcoat and top hat that became his signature appearance.

    Slightly more than 30 years later, Koklich's son, Justin, is stepping up as his father "tries to retire," in Al's words.

    "I've been helping him since I can remember," Justin said of his father, adding he still is searching for an updated tailcoat in his size.

    In addition to doing chimney cleaning and repairs, Kleen Sweep performs inspections, services wood stoves and does vent cleaning at places across Licking County, including the dorms at Denison University.

    They can install stainless steel liners for a broken chimney, do waterproofing and add chimney caps to keep rodents out.

    And they're all about speedy service.

    "We never get behind," Justin said. "A lot of customers, they like that. They like that same-day service."

    One of the most important priorities Kleen Sweep places on its service is education. The majority of projects are done by either Al or Justin, sometimes with additional help but almost always with one of them present. While on the job, the two are pleased to tell their customers about how to keep their chimneys and wood stoves safe.

    "It's all about the knowledge of these things that we try to pass along," Justin said.

    The individualized attention is what has caused word to spread about Kleen Sweep, he said.

    "We get a lot of word-of-mouth business," he said.

    Although the Koklichs won't protest an uptick in business, they have one condition:

    "We don't want to be so busy that we sacrifice quality," Justin said.

    As long as the quality is consistent, he said, the loyal Licking County customers will keep coming back.

    "It's a good business," Justin said. "It's dirty, but you get to meet a lot of good people."
