My name is Steve Kohl, and I started doing janitor work and carpet cleaning at night for Jerry’s Janitor Service in Moses Lake, WA in 1974 while going to college during the day.  I met a wonderful girl, married her (of course), and then we moved to Lewiston, Idaho so I could start my flying career.  In 1978 I was transferred to Dayton, WA, got tired of being gone all the time with the flying, and quit.  My wife (Desiree) and I started a little janitor/carpet cleaning business in Dayton, using my old Volkswagen bug as my cleaning “truck”.  I had a commercial shampooer plus a little Sears Kenmore steam cleaner as my main equipment.  I remember being so embarrassed at my first few cleaning jobs that I would bring the steam cleaner into the home in sections so hopefully my customer wouldn’t notice what I was using.  In two years we had built up a solid group of happy clients, and I sold my business for a few thousand dollars so that we could move back to Moses Lake in 1980 and take over Jerry’s Janitor business. 

In 1982 I became the owner, and we renamed it “Rainbow Carpet Cleaning”.  In 2003 we opened a branch office in the Tri-Cites under the name “America’s Most Wanted Carpet Cleaning” (hey, don’t blame me, it was my daughter’s idea!) and now have several hundred clients we clean for.  After close to 20,000 jobs later, my lovely wife and I now have 9 children (6 boys/3 girls) plus SEVEN grandkids.  All of my sons have helped on cleaning jobs, and I think even my daughters have probably helped pull hoses or move chairs a few times!  When Jerry Gwyn (Jerry’s Janitor Service) first trained me, he emphasized going beyond what was expected as far as quality.  I’ve been able to make that a core part of our business and transferred that to my sons as well.  After 13,000 jobs that I’ve done personally, I still love cleaning carpet and furniture.  Actually, with the newer equipment and cleaning agents, its even gotten easier than it used to be (or maybe I'm just more buff now).  We have had our guarantee of “most thorough cleaning ever seen or its free” for many years now.  If you want top quality cleaning, check out our testimonial page and then give me a call.  Thanks.
