Blind Butler Mobile Blind Wash N' Wax
The Blind Butler is the world's fastest on-site wash and wax blind cleaning system. Back in 1986 the blind cleaning business was just starting. People were spending $20K on ultrasonic machines to clean blinds. We needed a 100% mobile system to service our over 4000 window washing customers.
It didn't exist so we built our own to meet our needs. We then expanded our window washing service to include blind cleaning. We then built our own service to over 4000 customers. Since 1989 we have been selling our equipment to over 2000 entrepreneurs just like you. The Blind Butler has cleaned over 14 million blinds with no problems.
The system is so simple, anyone can learn to operate in just a few minutes.
It is the wax that the secret to the amazing success to the Blind Butler. The wash board's lean against your truck or van The Blinds are hung on the boards and soap and wax solution is applied. Then the blind is rinsed under pressure. The back boards keep the blind from being damaged. Next the blind is hung on the drying rack to dry in just a few minutes. The wax makes all the water fall off and the DI water makes the blind dry spot free! The on board water tank carries 50 gallons of DI water, that's enough to clean 40-50 blinds. Most dealers' carry an on-board DI system in-case they run low of water. This way you'll never run out of water.
Your unit fits into any pick up or van. Installation is a breeze. (Takes about one hour to install). Wash boards lean on one side and drying racks set up on the other side.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
