As we enter the fall season and the days get a little cooler, we’re turning up the warmth with this month’s Franchise Owner Spotlight featuring an extraordinary duo from Florida—Andrew and Carlita Francis, owners of A Time to Clean, LLC with Corvus of Orlando. Since launching their franchise on July 28, 2023, Andrew and Carlita have made an indelible mark with their kindness, professionalism, and relentless dedication to excellence.

A Thoughtful and Consistent Approach

What sets Andrew and Carlita apart is not just the quality of their cleaning services—it’s how they approach their work with care, consistency, and heart. From day one, they’ve demonstrated a deep understanding that each day brings new challenges, and they’ve shown a remarkable ability to adapt while maintaining top-tier service.

Their ability to balance responsiveness, communication, and performance has led to glowing feedback from clients. Whether it’s their attention to detail or willingness to go the extra mile, customers always know they’re in good hands with Andrew and Carlita.

Above and Beyond: A Story Worth Framing

One recent example of the impact they’ve had came during service for a client who emailed the Corvus office with a special message of thanks—not about cleaning, but about a moment of compassion. Andrew had taken the time to escort one of the client’s employees safely to her car late at night, an act that left such a lasting impression the customer felt compelled to share it.

Jonathan Cohen, Regional Director of Corvus of Orlando, shared:

“We were so touched by the message, we printed and framed it in our office.”

It’s this kind of care and humanity—alongside their operational excellence—that truly sets A Time to Clean, LLC apart.

A Model of Excellence and Integrity

Whether it’s delivering consistently exceptional cleaning results or going above and beyond to make others feel safe and valued, Andrew and Carlita embody what it means to be a Corvus Franchise Owner. They lead with integrity, treat their clients and staff with dignity, and always look for ways to elevate their service.

Their work is a reminder that in this business, small acts of care make a big impact, and kindness is just as important as consistency.

Thank You, Andrew and Carlita!

From the entire Corvus family, thank you to Andrew and Carlita Francis for the dedication, professionalism, and compassion you bring to your work every day. You are a shining example of what it means to be part of this network, and we’re grateful to have you with us.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for A Time to Clean, LLC—and we’re honored to be part of your journey.

Sweat the Workout, Not the Cleanliness: Professional Gym and Fitness Center Cleaning Services

by

In today’s health-conscious world, cleanliness is more than just a nice-to-have—it’s a competitive advantage. Whether you manage a gym, fitness center, CrossFit box, or yoga studio, your members expect a sanitary, fresh-smelling, and hygienic space where they can focus on their wellness goals. At Corvus Janitorial Systems, we provide professional cleaning services tailored specifically for gyms and fitness studios, so you can focus on building a strong community while we handle the grime.

Why Cleanliness Is Critical in Fitness Facilities

Gyms and fitness studios are high-traffic environments filled with sweat, body oils, and shared equipment—all of which can become breeding grounds for bacteria, viruses, and unpleasant odors if not properly cleaned. From locker rooms and restrooms to free weight areas and group fitness rooms, each section of your facility requires specialized cleaning and disinfection techniques.

A dirty or unkempt fitness center can negatively impact member retention, generate poor reviews, and even lead to health code violations. That’s why Corvus Janitorial Systems offers high-quality, consistent cleaning services designed to support both your brand image and your clients’ well-being.

Specialized Cleaning for Every Area of Your Gym or Studio

At Corvus, we understand the nuances of cleaning a fitness facility. We develop custom cleaning plans to address each area of your gym, including:

• Locker Rooms and Restrooms: We sanitize toilets, showers, floors, benches, and lockers to eliminate odors and prevent the spread of bacteria and mold.
• Cardio and Strength Equipment Areas: Our teams disinfect high-touch surfaces like treadmills, bikes, dumbbells, and resistance machines with hospital-grade, non-corrosive cleaning products.
• Yoga and Group Fitness Studios: We clean mirrors, floors, mats (if applicable), and windows to create a calming and hygienic environment.
• Reception and Lobby Areas: We ensure your first impression is a good one by maintaining dust-free counters, clean floors, and disinfected seating areas.
• Offices and Staff Areas: Clean workspaces promote productivity and reflect your gym’s overall professionalism.

High-Touch Surface Disinfection and Odor Control

With members constantly using equipment, sweating, and breathing heavily, high-touch surface disinfection is not optional—it’s essential. We go beyond simple wipe-downs to use EPA-registered disinfectants and electrostatic sprayers, ensuring your facility is not only visibly clean but also safe from germs, viruses, and fungi.

Additionally, we use deodorizing techniques and products designed to combat gym-specific odors, keeping your facility smelling fresh around the clock.

Flexible Scheduling, Trusted Teams

Your gym’s peak hours vary—so our cleaning schedule does too. Corvus offers flexible cleaning services during off-hours, early mornings, or overnight to minimize disruption. Our trained franchisees and janitorial teams are background-checked and supported by regional management to ensure reliability and responsiveness.

Why Fitness Centers Choose Corvus Janitorial Systems

The Importance of a Clean Workspace for Your Staff and Clients

by

Having a clean workspace affects more than just the aesthetics of your office. Using the services of a professional janitorial company can improve your business’s overall work environment in several ways. Everyone enjoys a tidy office, but workplace cleanliness can affect productivity, morale, and, in some ways, even your bottom line.

Why is it important to have a clean workspace?

Your team’s physical health can be influenced by the cleanliness of your office; cleaning high-traffic, high-germ areas regularly and thoroughly can help quell the spread of illnesses between co-workers. Studies have shown that improving the quality and frequency of cleaning results in higher employee productivity and decreases annual sick days by 12.5%.

Unsurprisingly, other important aspects of your business’s operations can be impacted by the cleanliness of your office.

A cluttered workspace creates a cluttered mind

Decluttering the space around us can often help us declutter our minds. If the trash hasn’t been taken out for days, or there are dirty floors throughout the office, it can be a distraction from the task at hand. The smallest things can divert workers from their duties, and having a dingy or disorderly workspace can be just the thing to derail their concentration.

These overwhelming stimuli can cause stress and lead to lost productivity, detracting from your workforce’s day-to-day assignments. Coming into a vibrant and clean workspace increases employees’ feelings of security, and clarity, and can lead to more focused and efficient outcomes.

A clean workplace is good for business

People spend a substantial amount of time at work. The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. Staff feel better about investing their time with an employer who is concerned about their well-being and health. Using a trusted janitorial service that provides regular, effective cleaning helps maintain high morale, good attitudes, and worker satisfaction. Office hygiene held at a high standard can help retain employees and keep them happy.

Satisfied employees are good for business. Not only are they more productive and creative, but they can also help recruit quality candidates in addition to clients.

Word of mouth is a powerful tool; no one knows a business better than the people who work there. A study by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) indicates that 72% of employees are reluctant to recommend a business with poor office hygiene to job seekers. Quality recruitment can often come from current employees, but if the work environment is deemed unacceptable, those prospects may never materialize. When employees feel pride in their employer, they are more likely to recommend them to job seeking friends and family.

In the same vein, happy staffers are more likely to recommend clients. The first impression of a prospective client is everything. Every business wants to appear professional and polished. Utilizing the expertise of a professional cleaner can ensure you achieve that goal. No one wants to come into a stuffy office lined with overflowing trashbins, dust on window sills, and grimy floors.

An orderly, immaculate storefront conveys your business’s professionalism and pride to the client. If clients see your storefront as orderly and welcoming, they project those feelings onto your workers and the services they expect to receive. In turn, they are more likely to refer your services to others.

How to keep your workspace clean in 2025

The easiest way to maintain a bright and healthy workspace and satisfied staff members is to have a commercial cleaning service, such as Corvus Janitorial Systems, provide regularly scheduled office cleanings. At Corvus, all it takes is a quick phone call or an online request for a quote…contact us today!

Ms. Castaneda has been a valued Franchise Owner for an incredible 15 years, making a lasting impact on both her customers and fellow franchisees.

Passion for Clean Spaces and Business Ownership

When asked why she loves being a Corvus Franchise Owner, Ms. Castaneda shared, “I love organization and cleaning, and I truly appreciate a clean space. I know many of my clients also feel that same joy when their spaces are spotless.”

Her journey into business ownership stemmed from a desire for independence. Owning a Corvus franchise has given her the freedom to control her own schedule and spend quality time at home with her family, where she finds the most joy.

A Commitment to Building Relationships

A key reason for Ms. Castaneda’s long-term success is her commitment to fostering strong relationships—with her clients, fellow franchise owners, and Corvus staff.

“She focuses on building relationships with clients and Corvus staff. She has been in one account for ten years and is so close with some of the employees there that they give her birthday cards!” says her daughter, Marlin Castaneda.

Beyond her own business, Ms. Castaneda is known for mentoring fellow franchise owners, offering guidance and support to those looking to grow. She has even led training sessions to help others improve, demonstrating her leadership and dedication to the Corvus community.

Dedication to Excellence

When we asked the Lexington team what makes Ms. Castaneda stand out, Clint Smith had this to say, “Janis has been one of our best and most consistent Franchise Owners. Her dedication to providing great customer service is what sets her apart from the rest.”

Her long-standing reputation for excellence has made her a standout in the Corvus network, and her commitment to customer satisfaction ensures that her business continues to thrive.

Looking Ahead

With such a strong foundation of success, mentorship, and commitment to quality, Ms. Castaneda is a true example of what it means to be a Corvus Franchise Owner. As we begin 2025, we are honored to celebrate her achievements and look forward to seeing what she accomplishes next.

Congratulations, Ms. Castaneda, on 15 years of excellence! Your hard work and dedication continue to inspire those around you, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.
