Bishop Clean Care

Bishop Clean Care Inc. is a third generation family owned business founded in Albany, GA in 1952. Over the past 60 years, the business has grown and diversified as each generation brought in new ideas and values. What have sustained throughout the years are the quality of the service, the integrity of the business, and professionalism of the workplace. Lanier Bishop was one of the original owners of Bishop Laundry and Cleaners in Albany, GA. The business grew tremendously during the 1960's. The company eventually became Bishop Rug and Upholstery Cleaners, splitting off from the dry cleaning portion of the business and concentrating on the rug and upholstery cleaning. In the 70's, Bishop Rug and Upholstery Cleaners ventured into fire and water damage restoration services and started its first janitorial account. As a result, we became Bishop Clean Care, Inc., developing into a more diversified cleaning company. In the 1980's, Patti Bishop Savelle, the daughter of Lanier Bishop became sole owner of the company. In the next thirty years, she continued to grow all three divisions of the business and became a leader in experience and techniques in the industry. Additionally, our janitorial division has grown to comprise over 50% of our production volume. In 2009, Patti Bishop Savelle's son and daughter-in-law, Jud and Jenny Savelle, purchased the family business and became 3rd generation owners to continue the family legacy. Jud and Jenny are both alumni of Georgia Tech with post-graduate degrees in Industrial and Systems Engineering. They also are Black Belt Certified in Lean Six Sigma. After gaining experience and advancement in the corporate world, they decided to work with each other and start a new, challenging chapter by purchasing the family business.
