Policy Briefing: Oversight of Commercial Cleaning Franchises

Commercial cleaning franchises operate by securing janitorial service contracts and assigning them to individuals—often couples—who perform the cleaning work. These individuals are typically classified as subcontractors or employees, though the nature of their relationship with the franchisor often blurs the line between independent business ownership and controlled labor.

Key Issues for Regulatory Consideration

1. Labor Classification

Many Texas commercial franchisees are marketed as “business Janitorial company owners,” yet they lack autonomy over pricing, scheduling, and client acquisition.
Misclassification risks arise when workers functionally operate as employees but are denied benefits and protections.

2. Income Transparency

Texas Commerical Cleaning Franchisees often pay upfront fees for contracts, equipment, and training, but actual earnings may fall below minimum wage after expenses.
Lack of standardized reporting makes it difficult to assess financial viability and fairness.

3. Contractual Control

The Franchisor of the commerical cleaning service retain control over client relationships, billing, and service standards.
The Texas Commerical Cleaning Franchisees may be penalized or lose contracts for failing to meet performance metrics, despite limited control over working conditions and equipment.

4. Risk Transfer

Franchises shift operational risk (e.g. client loss, liability, unpaid invoices) to individual cleaners while maintaining brand control and revenue share.
This structure can disproportionately burden low-income workers seeking economic mobility.

Policy Recommendations

Review Franchise Agreements: Require disclosure of earnings potential, fees, and operational obligations.
Clarify Worker Status: Establish clearer criteria for distinguishing subcontractors from employees in franchise models.
Enforce Wage Protections: Ensure that net earnings after franchise fees and expenses meet minimum wage standards.
Monitor Franchise Practices: Create oversight mechanisms for franchise systems operating in low-wage sectors.

Industry Standard vs. SamuraiClean Method

In many commercial cleaning operations, dust mops are used to clean around chairs. Cleaners often attempt to squeeze the mop between chair legs or repeatedly move chairs to access the floor beneath. This process is time-consuming and inefficient, leading some cleaners to only target visible debris rather than thoroughly cleaning the area.

At Advanced Cleaning Samurai Inc., we do things differently.

We vacuum under chairs using a method that allows one hand to move the chair while the other operates the vacuum. This ensures complete coverage, faster execution, and a consistently higher standard of cleanliness. It’s one of the key distinctions between SamuraiClean and the typical franchise-based commercial cleaning model.
