Don Aslett Cleans to Succes

Don Aslett 

     Don Aslett began cleaning toilets and carpets when he was a broke college student. Today, he is the CEO of Varsity Facility Services. 

     

     Aslett started his cleaning business in 1957. He put an add on the paper that said, "Don Aslett Pro-Cleaner!" He had never cleaned anything before in his life.

     

     "[I] had never even made my bed before," Aslett said.

     

     With some squeegees and a little bit of luck, Aslett was able to take his small cleaning business to new heights. He has cleaned
everything from toilets to carpets, windows,
and possibly everything else that warrants a cleaning.  He has even successfully opened a museum dedicated to cleaning. The first of its kind. 

     

     Aslett was kind enough to give an ISU class a tour of his cleaning store in Pocatello, Idaho. 

Not only did he show the class modern and efficient ways to clean, he also shared some of his wisdom. 

     

     "The key to success is not education but really loving what you do and what you get to do,” Aslett said.
