WILLINGBORO, NEW JERSEY -- Known as the "Carpet Cleaning Guy", Lou Colter is a veteran among professionals in this niche industry and line of work. The owner of Ultri-Dri Systems, based in Willingboro, NJ, Lou is one of the most well-known small business man in the area, and this year he proudly celebrates 50 years in the carpet cleaning business.
Established in Langhorne, Pennsylvania back in 1965, his idea launched, and Lou Colter was a solopreneur before it became a household word. With one work truck, equipment, and the unmitigated ambition to build his own enterprise, he created an impeccable name for himself that has garnered loyal clients for half a century. Despite the cultural challenges of the times that impacted African-Americans, Lou forged ahead with the dream of building a successful business that provided a universal service. And succeeded, he did.
"This is a milestone I'm extremely proud of," said Lou Colter, owner, Ultra-Dri Systems. "I have been fortunate to own a business that has provided for my family, put my daughter through college, and connected me to the community. It's just hard to grasp that I've been in business this long because it has always been my passion. I genuinely enjoy what I do--revitalizing my customers' carpets and seeing the joy on their faces when they see the results. They tell me I've given them new carpets and made them proud of their homes again. That kind of customer satisfaction is invaluable, and that is what has driven me for the past 50 years," he said.
As all things evolve, so has the carpet cleaning industry. In order to stay on the leading edge, Lou utilizes environmentally-friendly (Green) products, maintains industry best practices, is a Certified Service Facility for the Bane-Clene System and is a long-time member of the Professional Cleaners' Association (PCA) of Indianapolis, Indiana.
Lou is still moving full steam ahead and working harder than ever--perhaps for another 50 years; we can only hope. For more information or to learn more about Lou Colter and his professional carpet cleaning services, visit his website at www.cleancarpetguy.com or email service@cleancarpetguy.com.
