About Blue Ribbon
Rooted in Ocala.
Focused on the work.
Since 1985, Blue Ribbon has helped local businesses care for the places where people work, learn, and gather. Commercial cleaning is our business. A dependable working relationship is how we deliver it.
Our story
Decades of local experience.
A practical approach today.
Jay and Bernardine Thomas founded Blue Ribbon in 1985. The business incorporated in 1996 and continues as a family-owned, locally operated company serving Ocala and the surrounding area.
Our work brings together recurring janitorial service, commercial floor care, and post-construction cleaning. Each calls for a different plan, but the essentials are the same: understand the facility, define the work, and follow through.
We serve offices, medical facilities, schools, government buildings, and other commercial properties. The service plan reflects the building’s use, access, and priorities.

The office is a starting point for questions about service, scheduling, and your facility. Operations coordinates the work with the supervisors responsible for the buildings we serve.
A useful working relationship depends on knowing who to contact and making expectations clear. Your service plan sets out the scope and helps the team understand what matters at your property.
Preparation matters
Good service starts
before the first shift.
Blue Ribbon’s W-2 employees receive background screening, in-house training, and supervised on-the-job guidance. Site instructions connect that preparation to the specific building, its tasks, and its access requirements.
Supervisory review and communication support the work once service begins. If something needs attention, a clear process makes it easier to identify the issue and coordinate follow-up.
- Site orientation and clear work instructions
- Training and guidance from supervisors
- Review against the agreed cleaning scope
What matters in a working relationship
Clear, practical commitments.
Know what is included.
A written scope gives both teams a common reference. It identifies the areas, tasks, and frequencies, along with periodic services or work quoted separately.
Respect how the building works.
Operating hours, access, flooring, and activity all shape the cleaning plan. We review those details before recommending the service and schedule.
Keep communication open.
A facility’s needs can change. Questions about the work, an upcoming event, or a change in occupancy should have a clear place to go.
Where we work
Ocala is home.
Central Florida is our community.
Our primary service area is Ocala and Marion County. We also consider work in surrounding communities, including Citrus and Alachua counties, based on the service, location, and schedule.
