Freedom to grow at your own pace

Cleantastic’s franchise model is built around flexibility. It allows new owners

to start small and expand when the time is right, creating a pathway that suits

their goals and circumstances. Some begin part-time, while others grow into

full-scale commercial teams employing multiple staff.

This flexibility has proven to be one of Cleantastic’s greatest strengths.

Franchisees can take on additional contracts and increase their business

at their own pace, supported by a team with nearly three decades of

experience. The model’s adaptability has kept the network resilient through

economic change, ensuring Cleantastic businesses continue to thrive in all

market conditions.

At its core, the Cleantastic system is about building sustainable businesses.

The commercial cleaning sector offers steady demand and repeat business,

giving franchisees confidence that their investment is secure and scalable.

Support that lasts a lifetime

Behind every Cleantastic franchise business is a dedicated support structure

designed to guide owners through every stage of their journey. From initial

training to ongoing business development, franchisees benefit from a system

refined through years of hands-on experience.

A defining feature of the Cleantastic model is the direct relationship

franchisees maintain with their clients. Each franchisee manages their own

communications and invoicing, providing autonomy and a true sense of

business ownership. This approach encourages accountability and builds

authentic, long-term partnerships.

The result is a network of franchisees who deliver exceptional service while

building meaningful, profitable businesses. Many, like Emmanuel, have found

that this sense of ownership transforms their work into a lasting career built

on pride, reliability, and trust.

Looking ahead – and looking back with pride

As Cleantastic continues to grow, its focus remains firmly on people and

performance. With demand for professional commercial cleaning increasing

nationwide, the brand is well positioned to expand its footprint and welcome

new franchisees into its proven system.

At the same time, Cleantastic stays true to the principles that have guided

it from the start – providing opportunity, delivering consistent support, and

celebrating the individuals who make its success possible.

A partnership that endures

As Cleantastic celebrates Emmanuel’s 20-year milestone, it also recognises

every franchisee who has built their own story within the network. Their

commitment, professionalism, and resilience continue to shape the brand’s

future and uphold its reputation as one of New Zealand’s most trusted

franchise systems.

Cleantastic’s philosophy remains simple:

when people are supported, businesses

thrive. For those looking to take control

of their future with a system that has

stood the test of time, Cleantastic offers

lasts. Join our award-winning franchise

In a world where many businesses come and go, longevity speaks volumes.

For Cleantastic, one of New Zealand’s most established and awarded

commercial cleaning franchises, long-term success is reflected in the loyalty

and dedication of the people behind the brand.

Among them is franchisee Emmanuel Masih, who recently celebrated 20

years with Cleantastic. His journey exemplifies what makes this franchise

system so enduring: opportunity, support, and the chance to build a

business for life.

Building stability and success

“Working for 20 years with Cleantastic is a milestone for me,” says Emmanuel.

“It has given me stability, and the opportunity to learn and grow personally

and professionally. It’s also helped me build relationships with my clients like

family. I’ve learned to be dedicated, reliable and skilful.”

Emmanuel joined Cleantastic in the early 2000s, seeking a pathway that

offered independence and security. What he found was a cleaning business

with structure designed to empower people.

“I chose Cleantastic because it provided me with training, support, and a

clear pathway to grow my business,” he says. “I’m proud to be part of this

journey and to contribute to Cleantastic’s success.”

A proven system putting people first

Cleantastic’s success story spans 30 years and close to 300 franchisees

across New Zealand. Since its foundation in 1995, the company has built

a reputation for strong systems, reliable support, and award-winning

performance – including recognition at the Westpac New Zealand Franchise

Awards, most recently winning the 2022 Business to Business Franchise

System of the Year.

The company’s growth has always been driven by a people-first philosophy.

Cleantastic’s system equips franchisees with everything they need to

succeed from comprehensive training and mentoring to proven operational

frameworks and business guidance. New franchisees are trained in all

aspects of running their business, from cleaning standards – known internally

as ‘The Cleantastic Way’ – through to client communication and invoicing.

Importantly, Cleantastic welcomes people from a wide range of backgrounds.

Many successful franchisees had no prior cleaning experience when

they started. What unites them is a shared commitment to reliability,

professionalism, and customer care, qualities that define the Cleantastic

brand and contribute to its longevity.

Longevity that defines the culture

While industry awards are valuable, Cleantastic measures its success by the

loyalty of its franchisees. Many have been part of the business for more than

a decade, operating sustainable enterprises that service major corporate and

commercial clients across the country.

Longevity reflects enduring relationships between Cleantastic and its

franchisees, and between franchisees and their clients. Long-term operators

become part of their clients’ daily environments, offering consistency,

reliability, and a standard of service that only experience can deliver.

For franchisees like Emmanuel Masih, those relationships are the cornerstone

of success. Over two decades, he has developed partnerships built on mutual

respect and trust showcasing the Cleantastic approach that values both

people and performance.
