About Us

Hours

We've been washing truck exteriors for almost four decades. While there are many methods to exterior washing, we've learned that any equipment has to be hand scrubbed to get it really clean. That's why we employ the best people who apply our time tested processes to achieve the best results.

Front Ladies

Air traffic Control

So much to say, so little room. Cartha, Stephanie, Kali, Mallory and Mikela make up the front house operations. These gals write over 150 labor tickets a day, perform countless CAT Scale weighs, answer all phone calls and make sure our in-store customers are taken care of to the fullest. Ronda, Barb and Vickie make up the back house operations. These gals are our lifelines to cleanliness. Cleaning showers, mopping floors, and keeping the restrooms the cleanest in the midwest is all in a days work for them.

"We take cleaning to the nth degree."

Nick Wollenman, General Manager at Deluxe
