We are a privately-owned Minnesota company specializing in cleaning and floor maintenance for large retail and educational clients since 1959. For more than 60 years, Carlson has specialized in cleaning and maintaining floors. That journey started with Don Carlson back in 1959 and continues with his protégé to this day. At Carlson, we think that where we’ve been is a reflection of where we’re going. From our humble beginnings—stripping waxing, scrubbing, and buffing floors at a single grocery store, we’ve always emphasized pride in our quality of work. Today, our reputation as floor care experts has evolved. And, while our list of services has grown, that initial pride in our work remains as strong now as it was in 1959. So, whether you manage a single building, campus, store, or multiple locations, we invite you to experience the Carlson Difference and see what we mean by “better than expected.”
