He soon expanded his business to help his loyal clients service, repair and purchase their new equipment. In 1969, he turned his focus to selling and servicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology has changed a bit over the years. In the 1960s, pressure washers were rated up to 400 PSI, now they run up to 6000 PSI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben\u2019s three sons Gordon, Ron and Jerry, worked for the company throughout high school and college, and eventually full time.&nbsp;In 1982, they purchased the company from their parents and incorporated the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-Current-Location.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"452\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-Current-Location.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning Company Seattle\" class=\"wp-image-143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-Current-Location.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-Current-Location-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today Ben\u2019s Cleaner Sales is one of the largest and oldest full service steam cleaners and pressure washer distributors in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 25 employees, Ben\u2019s Cleaner Sales sells, services, and rents cleaning and commercial equipment as well as chemicals, parts, and accessories throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015.jpg\" alt=\"industrial cleaning equipment\" class=\"wp-image-147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015-2.jpg\" alt=\"cleaning detergents seattle\" class=\"wp-image-146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015-2.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mitm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Bens-2015-2.jpg\"><br><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe pride ourselves in learning exactly what the&nbsp;customer needs, instead of just figuring out what most closely fits their needs.
