Oxi Fresh Franchisee Sonia Garg Builds a Purpose-Driven Business in the Pacific Northwest

In a compelling feature recently published by FranchiseWire, journalist Mary Vinnedge explores the inspiring story of Sonia Garg—a Seattle-based Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning franchisee whose journey into business ownership is as heartwarming as it is empowering.

With a flexible business model and values rooted in sustainability and service, Oxi Fresh equips franchisees like Sonia with the tools to grow thriving businesses that make a real difference. Below, you’ll learn how Sonia is using her business not just to pursue success on her own terms, but to enrich her community and uplift the lives of those around her.

From Tech Professional to Multi-Territory Franchise Owner

Originally from India, Sonia Garg had built a career in computer engineering before shifting her focus to raising a family. After becoming a new mother, Sonia began exploring new professional paths that would provide her with more flexibility and independence—as well as the chance to make a meaningful impact beyond the scope of her own family. That search led her right to Oxi Fresh.

Initially an Oxi Fresh customer, Sonia was drawn to the brand’s innovative cleaning system and strong support network. It wasn’t long before she decided to take the leap and open her first Oxi Fresh franchise.

Today, she now owns and operates seven territories throughout the Pacific Northwest.

“It’s a diverse and very welcoming franchise system,” Sonia explained. “From day one, I felt heard and part of the team. There is no other business I would choose to start my journey with. I bought my first territory with Oxi Fresh in July 2022, my second one in November 2022 and five more in January 2024.”

But Sonia’s ambitions go far beyond her own success. She’s dedicated her business to lifting up at-risk youth by offering employment, structure, and mentorship to help them build brighter futures. Through Oxi Fresh’s ongoing charitable partnership with Water.org, she also supports global access to safe water and sanitation solutions—amplifying her impact on a broader scale.

“It’s extremely fulfilling and purposeful using my business to play a small part in bettering the community and spreading the word about opportunities in franchising, which provides ways for people to control their own destiny,” Sonia said. “Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning has proved that a business owner can uplift communities…I now believe that is the best decision I’ve ever made.”
