In the newly-released, 2011 Entrepreneur Franchise 500 Rankings, the Jan-Pro Brand receives a dominating report card, with 4 major rankings: #11 Overall Top Franchise, #2 Fastest-Growing, #3 Home-Based and #3 Low-Cost.
Alpharetta, GA December 13, 2010 — Jan-Pro International, Inc. (Jan-Pro),  a global leader in commercial cleaning, today graciously accepted the honor of receiving top rankings in all four major categories in the highly-acclaimed Franchise 500 Rankings by Entrepreneur Magazine.
The Top Franchise 500 Overall Rankings have been perfected over 31 years.  Exceeding important criteria to determine rankings, such as financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system, Jan-Pro once again this year garnered an impressive overall ranking at number 11.
Combined with Jan-Pro’s rankings of #2 fastest-growing, #3 home-based and #3 low-cost, the brand is among a very select group of only a few established, large franchise companies receiving these top recognitions over the past decade.
“The only way a company can maintain a leadership position in the highly-competitive commercial cleaning industry, is to be committed to self-improvement,” said Rich Kissane, President & CEO, Jan-Pro. “It is a top priority in our company to always provide the best business systems, the best new and unique services, and a display of leadership through our everyday actions. The Jan-Pro Brand stands for all these things.”
Many industry experts agree with Kissane, as each year, Jan-Pro is recognized in the Top 40 Best Franchises for African Americans by Black Enterprise, in the Top 50 Franchises for Minorities by USA Today, in the TOP 25 Franchises for Hispanics by Poder, and in the Top 10 of Franchise Business Review’s list, a highly-distinguished award, reflecting Jan-Pro’s dedicated relationship and success between corporate and regional offices.  It is clear that the industry notices and recognizes the company’s accomplishments.
Unique introductions of services and a history of firsts define the leadership character of the Jan-Pro Brand. One example is the recent launch of Jan-Pro’s exclusive EnviroShield disinfectant system. Well-followed in the international press, EnviroShield has become a high-demand service, one only available from Jan-Pro.
“We pride ourselves on launching new, unique services that offer important benefits to our customers,” continued Kissane. “Our EnviroShield System is the perfect service that disinfects and fights harmful contaminants, even the deadly MRSA bacteria. It’s the kind of cleaning service expected from Jan-Pro. And the results it produces doesn’t disappoint. We make sure of that.”

What is MRSA?

Did You Know?
Jeff Savino, V.P. Sales, EnviroSystems, Inc.
What is MRSA?
MRSA is a type of Staph bacteria that can cause very serious bacterial infections. MRSA stands for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is caused by Staphylococcus aureus or “Staph” that has acquired an immunity or resistance to antibiotics. There is no MRSA virus and therefore no MRSA vaccination as some have suggested. With MRSA being so resistant to many of the best antibiotics, it makes treatment of skin infections and invasive internal infections much more problematic, resulting in many deaths each year. A good way of preventing the spread of MRSA is to eliminate it from the surfaces where it can live. EnviroShield is an excellent process to accomplish this task.
EnviroTru is proven effective against MRSA as indicated on its label.

Fact: EnviroTru Meets EPA Requirements for Toxicity Category IV

The EPA rates the toxicity level of disinfectants on a scale of I–IV, with Toxicity Category IV being the least toxic. This rating is based on studies submitted to the EPA which examine a product’s toxicity as it relates to acute oral, acute dermal, acute inhalation and primary eye irritation. Based on these studies, a product is also assigned a “signal word”. The signal words and associated toxicity categories are as follows:
Toxicity Category
Signal Word
Toxicity Category 1
DANGER
Toxicity Category II
WARNING
Toxicity Category III
CAUTION
Toxicity Category IV
NONE REQUIRED¹


¹All Products are required to contain the statement: KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
EnviroTru® Disinfectant & Deodorizing Cleaner is a unique product that meets EPA requirements for Toxicity Category IV. The safety characteristics are a positive selling feature of EnviroTru and should be highlighted in your sales presentation along with the non-corrosion and materials compatibility feature discussed in last month’s newsletter.

EnviroShield’s Effectiveness Proven at Clean Middle East Magazine Facilities

Jan-Pro’s Unique Disinfection System Launches in Middle East
Distributed in Middle East exclusively by Jan-Pro, EnviroShield Disinfection Demonstration reduces harmful contamination readings from an alarmingly high 173 preliminary reading,  to a safe low reading of only 2 within minutes.
October 19, 2010 — Jan-Pro International, Inc. (Jan-Pro),  a global leader in commercial cleaning, announced today that their unique EnviroShield Spray Disinfecting System, used to kill harmful bacteria including invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Infections, has been effectively expanded for use in the Middle East.
Clean Middle East Magazine, a publication dedicated to informative content on the cleaning and hygiene industry in the Middle East, recently invited Jan-Pro to demonstrate its EnviroShield Disinfection System at the Clean Middle East Magazine offices in the UAE.
The test was conducted by Terry Kochanowski, Jan-Pro Country Master Franchisee UAE, and Dennis Thompson, Vice President of Jan-Pro Franchising International, Inc.
“The first step is to swab the surface to get the actual reading of the contaminated surface,” said Kochanowski. “Next we apply the EnviroShield Disinfectant through spraying. Then in a couple of minutes, take a reading again to see the huge difference in contaminants.”
The process was carried out just the way Terry described it. To start, the keyboard of a PC at the magazine offices was swabbed and had an alarmingly high contamination reading of 173 on the meter. Remarkably, just minutes later after applying the Jan-Pro EnviroShield spray, the same keyboard had drastically dropped to a reading of merely 2.
“Our EnviroShield Disinfecting System meets all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements for Toxicity Category IV. There are no harmful ocular, inhalation or ingestion effects. Safely applied, there is no need to cover the eyes, hands or even a coffee cup in the room,” said Dennis Thompson. “We knew going in that Clean Middle East Magazine supports “green cleaning” efforts, and that EnviroShield was designed to be environmentally safe. Once again, the EnviroShield system proved its effectiveness.”
The EnviroShield System uses PCMX (parachlorometaxylenol) as its active ingredient, produced by a proprietary emulsion process resulting in a low concentration of active ingredient equal to 0.02 percent, making it highly effective, yet totally safe. The electrostatic spray charges each droplet (30 microns in size) with a negative charge, and when sprayed has far greater force than gravity, reaching and touching surfaces which traditionally do not get disinfected. The result is 100% disinfection coverage.
Launched on June 1, 2010 in the Middle East, The Jan-Pro EnviroShield Disinfection Spray System is entirely new to this market, and offered through the exclusive distribution of Jan-Pro International, Inc.
“Clean Middle East Magazine prides itself in covering relevant issues, like the dramatic reduction of harmful bacteria and contaminants in the workplace,” continued Kochanowski. “In going from a 173 contaminant reading to a 2 in just minutes, we were delighted to demonstrate how EnviroShield is a disinfection system for one of today‘s important issues in the Middle East.”
