Originally founded in 2001, EBM cleaning has gone through various transformative stages. Originating as a general cleaning agency, EBM has since found their niche as a supplier of four main cleaning specialties: janitorial services, carpet care, upholstery care, and floor care. Founder Mark Cottrill was drawn to the cleaning business through his work in the funeral home industry. When approached about a specific cleaning issue a funeral home was experiencing, Mark realized there was a noticeable lack in the market – cleaning services weren’t providing alternatives to wet-cleaning. From there, Mark began to research cleaning options, unwilling to settle for carpets that would remain damp for days after being cleaned. That was when Mark came upon the HOST Dry Extraction System. Mark was later delighted to learn that in addition to its dry extraction advantages, HOST was also environmentally preferred and really worked! From there Mark decided EBM would lead the way, bringing dry extraction technology to the forefront of the cleaning industry. EBM is dedicated to proving the value of using dry over wet cleaning systems, as well as showcasing how cleaning carpets more frequently as a maintenance activity can save money by extending the life of the carpets.
