May 18, 2005—EnviroClean Technologies, an environmentally responsible industrial surface cleaning business, has announced a strategic investment from Blackbird Ventures, a venture capital firm managed by San Diego software entrepreneur and real estate developer Neil Senturia.
EnviroClean is commercializing a patented, closed loop cleaning process that eliminates virtually all run-off water, a problem in surface cleaning, the company says. Historically, surface cleaning companies have operated as mom-and-pop shops with power washing equipment and poor waste removal practices. The waste removed by such systems, including toxic substances such as grease and oil, is flushed illegally into storm drains. It goes untreated into our oceans and waterways and creates environmental problems.
According to Senturia, CEO of Blackbird Ventures, “EnviroClean is the only solution on the market today that meets the current legal requirements for surface cleaning. This service will change the expectations of property owners and facilities managers, and meet the needs of municipalities who have been embarrassed by their own lack of adherence to environmental standards. Our service solves the industry’s need to be environmentally compliant at a reasonable price.”
