CleanKings From Humble Beginnings to a National Empire (2012 - Present)

The Beginning

Founders: Don Hett and Edriyan Osmond started CleanKings as a hospitality-focused commercial cleaning company.

Operated from a garage, servicing a handful of hospitality venues such as restaurants, pubs, and event venues.

Early Growth & Market Expansion

Expanded services to hotels, cafes, and gaming venues.

Built a reputation for reliability, high-quality service, and a customer-centric approach.

Secured major contracts with hospitality chains and event spaces, allowing for reinvestment into better equipment and workforce training.

National Recognition

CleanKings won the CV Magazine Mid-Market Award for Best Facility Service Provider, marking a turning point in credibility and market positioning.

Expanded operations to gyms, fitness centers, and recreational facilities alongside hospitality cleaning.

Industry Diversification & Scaling

Moved beyond hospitality into medical, aged care, childcare, and retail cleaning.

CleanKings established dedicated teams for large-scale cleaning projects in various industries, including commercial offices, body corporate, and automotive cleaning.

The COVID-19 Challenge & Business Resilience

The COVID-19 pandemic hit, forcing many hospitality venues to shut down, leading to a decline in business.

Pivoted into high-demand industries like medical cleaning, aged care, childcare, and essential retail stores.

Developed specialized sanitization and deep-cleaning services for businesses reopening post-pandemic.

This strategic shift saved the company and propelled it to new heights as a diversified commercial cleaning giant.

Co-founder Edriyan Osmond left the business, leading to a structural reorganization under Don Hett’s leadership.

Expanded into franchised cleaning solutions for gyms, car dealerships, and quick-service restaurant chains.
