Our History
The vast Stanley Steemer organization of today is the end result of an enterprise started by one man. A man who dreamed big, valued hard work and never feared adversity. A man named Jack Bates, who, in 1947, founded a small carpet cleaning company called Jack Bates Carpet Cleaning out of his own home in Columbus, Ohio. As the company expanded, first in Ohio and then beyond, Jack changed the name to Stanley Steemer, in reference to the first steam-driven automobile. In the 50+ years since then, Stanley Steemer has become the number one name in the industry coast-to-coast by delivering the exceptional quality work and unparalleled customer service that has been the hallmark of the company from the very beginning.

Our ValuesTeamwork. Open communication. Personal recognition. Performance based rewards. Promotion from within. Fun. It’s all part of a framework that makes Stanley Steemer what it is today.

We value motivated employees who do a great job and show interest in growing with the company. The more you learn about our operations, the more doors you’ll find opened to you.
