Press Release Body = Brainerd, MN - Janitorial service companies must manage costs,
identify best practices in cleaning and business operations, market their services
and keep employees happy. TheJanitorialStore.com now provides these companies with
one-stop, comprehensive resources, support and information to help them do all that
and more.

Co-founder Steve Hanson recalls that when he started his first cleaning company back
in the 1980s, "We didn't have the Internet or associations that could help a small
cleaning company grow." Out of necessity, he developed training programs, manuals,
and customized forms, specific to the janitorial industry.

Two successful cleaning companies later, Hanson decided to share his hard-earned
knowledge, by building an online community for the owners of small cleaning
companies. "We've conceived of TheJanitorialStore.com as a place they can go to for
all the tools and resources they need to grow their company and take it to the next
level."

Members of TheJanitorialStore.com have access to industry-specific articles (with an
emphasis on small-business perspectives), active discussion groups and online
calculators for everything from job estimating to dilution formulas. Value-priced
memberships also enable companies to participate in live training teleconferences,
download customized forms, and purchase cleaning products at members-only prices.
Non-members may participate in training and purchase product and training programs
at retail rates.

"I'm amazed at the wealth of information available to me through my membership with
TheJanitorialStore.com" says Donna Evans, charter member of the online community.
"I've already gained new business as a direct result of asking questions about how
to improve my bidding and estimating process. Plus the online and telephone
discussion forums are great because I can share information and ask questions of
other cleaning business owners who have many of the same concerns."
