New Orleans, Louisiana - 15 September, 2005 -

Jani-King International, the world’s largest commercial cleaning franchise company, is attacking mold spores in and around New Orleans. Since Hurricane Katrina’s departure from the Gulf Coast, tens of thousands of homes and businesses have become breeding grounds for dangerous molds. Jani-King has been contracted to clean multiple facilities in the Gulf Coast region that are infested with harmful mold spores as a result of severe flooding. To assist with the clean-up efforts, Jani-King has brought in an expert in the field of mold remediation. William Fisher, President of the Southeastern Mold Institute and former inspector with the State of Florida, is working with Jani-King to identify flood problems and eliminate the mold. “Molds present an extremely unsafe environment in which to live and work,” said Fisher. “It is critical to have the right chemicals and equipment, know the application process and understand how to attack the mold to make the environment safe again.” Jani-King is working around the clock throughout the devastated areas to assist customers with their cleaning and mold remediation needs. Since the hurricane, Jani-King’s regional offices have been fielding phone calls and dispatching franchise owners who provide emergency services. In Gulfport, MS, Jani-King brought in supplemental staff and supplies to a local hospital within a matter of hours in order to get it up to proper health standards following the hurricane.
