The Story Of Universal Janitorial Services

Universal Janitorial Services was founded in Fairfax VA in 1978 by two hardworking entrepreneurs, creating the proud foundation for excellence in commercial cleaning and disinfection services.

After 12 years in the business, Mark Lineberry took over as President of Universal Janitorial Cleaning in 2011, and Francisco Rivas was given the role of COO after working for the company since 1982.

Our fundamental values are that the cleanliness of your premises is reflecting on you, and the responsibility of delivering on the promise of an exceptionally clean facility is ours.

We are firm believers in long-term and long-lasting client relationships. We value these relationships for a couple of reasons:

1) we always strive to provide 100% with the knowledge that a clean image is everything,

2) if we do a great job, then maybe our customers will send some referrals our way. Most of our business come from the recommendation of others.
