But more than accomplishing that clean feeling, the franchise satisfies the entrepreneurial couple's penchant for environmental consciousness: “Oxi Fresh is more than just carpet cleaning," she asserted. "It is about being green and conserving water. With Austin’s culture focused on green living, and the constant demand for carpet cleaning, Oxi Fresh is the perfect service to provide to this community.”
Prior to joining on with Oxi Fresh, Peter and Carrie Smith lived north of Toronto in Barrie, Ontario. After a visit to family in Texas, the duo decided to leave their careers in construction and healthcare, respectively, to make the move and immigrate to Austin, according to a press advisory. Oxi Fresh is their first business venture.

The Lakewood, Colo.-based franchise, which today has more than 340 locations open and operating throughout the United States and Canada, prides itself on offering green carpet cleaning and incredible results through a unique, low-moisture process.
Peter Smith expounded: “It’s always been our dream to own a business one day, and joining the Oxi Fresh team with their systematic proven approach makes us confident that we will be able to provide a high-quality, much-needed service to the Greater Round Rock area, all while promoting water conservation.”
Founded in 2006, Oxi Fresh has distinguished itself in the carpet cleaning industry with environmentally friendly cleaning methods. Using the power of oxygen to provide state-of-the-art carpet cleaning services, Oxi Fresh products "...create a powerful oxygenated system that leaves no sticky residue and is safe for children and pets," officials explained.
What’s more, Oxi Fresh’s cleaning method only requires two gallons of water per home – as opposed to the 40-50 gallons other carpet cleaners use – and enables carpets to dry in one hour, far less than the standard 24 -plus hours other methods require.
In addition to carpet cleaning, Oxi Fresh of Round Rock will provide services for rugs and upholstery, officials said. For more information, visit: www.oxifresh.com.
