Sonia Garg’s Entrepreneurial Journey Shared in National Magazine and Online

Sonia Garg, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning’s local franchisee in Kirkland, Washington, has a remarkable story to share. That’s why her tale of motherhood, impact-driven business, and entrepreneurial independence was recently featured on the local online news site Patch.com and in a two-page spread appearing in the January 2023 edition of Franchising Magazine USA. Both of these pieces explored her exciting journey as a professional carpet cleaner in Kirkland, Washington.

After years away from the corporate world spent raising her two children, Sonia, a first-generation Indian immigrant and accomplished software engineer with experience working for major corporations both in the U.S. and abroad, struggled to return to corporate America—which questioned her lengthy span of unemployment as a stay-at-home mom. 

After roughly a decade outside the professional sphere, as the rejections began to stack up, Sonia worried that putting her career on hold to raise her kids, even though she’d cherished and appreciated that time, may be an insurmountable challenge.

So with the corporate world of software engineering reluctant to welcome her back, Sonia took a chance on herself and turned to entrepreneurship, launching her own Oxi Fresh carpet cleaning franchise in Kirkland, Washington, in 2022. 

Finding Oxi Fresh, A Better Carpet Cleaner

Sonia became familiar with Oxi Fresh’s green, fast-drying carpet cleaning system while tending to her first child, who suffered from a dust allergy. To alleviate their symptoms, Sonia hired a professional carpet cleaner once every six months, often suffering through moisture-rich cleaning processes that took many hours to dry and used hazardous chemicals in her home. 

Then she found Oxi Fresh. In Kirkland and beyond, Oxi Fresh carpet cleanings rely on eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products and low-moisture methods, meaning the carpets they clean are dry about one hour after they’re done. Plus, as Sonia found out, Oxi Fresh was pleasant to work with from start to finish, delivering a satisfying and straightforward customer experience. 

Sonia became a regular customer and avid fan of the Oxi Fresh system. So when she struggled to return to work in the software industry, entrepreneurship and franchising with Oxi Fresh had a certain appeal. 

Today, Sonia proudly owns her own Oxi Fresh carpet cleaning franchise in Kirkland, Washington. And her successful career and many happy customers aren’t the only beneficiaries of the chance she took as an entrepreneur—to date, Sonia has changed the lives of several local individuals in Kirkland whom she’s hired as carpet cleaning technicians, giving them a chance to greatly improve their lives through meaningful employment.
