LAKEWOOD, Colorado , November 22, 2011 (press release) – For five years Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning®, one of the nation's fastest growing environmentally-friendly carpet cleaning service franchises, has presented entrepreneurs with an affordable and successful business opportunity. This year, the company received praise from Entrepreneur magazine for its affordability, placing it for the second time on Entrepreneur's "Top 100 Low Cost Franchise" list.

"This award coupled with our extensive growth over the past five years further validates our success as the nation's premier environmentally-friendly carpet cleaning company," said Jonathan Barnett, Oxi Fresh founder and president.

Oxi Fresh significantly rose in the ranks on the "Low Cost Franchise" list in 2011, climbing more than 40 spots since its last placement on the list, finishing in 2011 ranked as the 26th best low-cost franchise opportunity nationwide.

With a total investment ranging between $34,000 and $57,000, Oxi Fresh is an affordable franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs due in part to the home-based nature of the business.

Oxi Fresh employs an Environmental Protection Agency certified green carpet cleaning process, which uses low-moisture levels and non-toxic cleaning agents.

Oxi Fresh:

* Is non-toxic and safe for kids and pets—products contain low VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds)
* Employs Water Conservation: Uses 5 percent of the water a steam cleaner uses, therefore carpet dries in one hour
* Energy Efficiency: No running vehicles to power equipment, (which can run throughout an entire cleaning job), which cause pollution.
* Practices Recycling: The business uses recyclable bottles and packaging and franchisees are told to recycle their products after use.
