ADRIAN — After working full-time in their professional fields, Bill and Melissa Van Valkenburg decided it was time to put their experience in the commercial cleaning field to work and start a business of their own. BMUD Commercial Cleaning stands for Bill and Melissa’s Ultimate Dream. The company started in June.

“We are so proud to have our own business,” Melissa said. “We can’t wait to see what’s coming.”

The couple actually met in kindergarten but got reacquainted five years ago. Melissa gave Bill their LLC business license as a wedding gift and the process of starting their own company began. Being able to hire their children to work for them was part of that decision.

Bill has a background as a service manager in the automotive industry and Melissa is still working as a nurse. 

BMUD Commercial Cleaning offers medical-grade cleaning, which includes electrostatic cleaning, a process that is performed every three days. Bill said that the process involves more than just a “wipe-down.” 

“We basically ‘fog down’ everything a couple times a week,” Bill said, adding that the process gets rid of 99.9% of “everything.”

“It encapsulates the germs,” Melissa said.

They have bloodborne and airborne pathogen certification and use hospital-grade disinfectants. Their clients include doctors, dentists and physical therapists.

BMUD Commercial Cleaning also offers office cleaning services, including floor care, commercial maintenance repair, interior painting, disinfection, special event cleaning and move-in and move-out cleaning. They offer window washing, furniture cleaning, tile and grout cleaning and sealing, odor and stain removal services, and solar panel cleaning, among other services.
