"I had my first strip and wax job and it happened to be a VERY picky Client. Well I have the advantage of living very close to Steve and Jean. Steve offered to come and help. With Steve's help we completed the strip and wax job. I learned so much and I am extremity grateful for Steve and his commitment to helping his members succeed. Steve and Jean you both are a GREAT blessing to our industry and an example of true selfless individuals that I am proud to know. Thank you for all you do."

"Jean and Steve, this is a big thank you for your knowledge and expertise in operating your company. There is an old familiar saying, 'only in America'. Well that is how one should feel about The Janitorial Store. 'only at THE JANITORIAL STORE'. Where else can one go to find the wealth of information that you provide daily? Where else can one have experience people like you and people like Sharon Cowan, Dick Ollek and Debbie Sardone, just to name a few, share their knowledge of how to run a successful business. These are people who have been there and done that. Thank you and continue doing what you do best."
