Buy a Mr. Sandless Franchise

Mr. Sandless is a home-based mobile franchise specializing in floor refinishing without traditional sanding. Franchisees use the brand’s proprietary wet process to clean, detail, and seal hardwood, laminate, tile, LVP/LVT, parquet, cork, bamboo, and gym floors. The process generates no dust and minimal odor, with most jobs completed in a single day. The brand has operated since 2004 and began franchising in 2006.

The model requires no commercial premises: franchisees work from a home office and a service vehicle. Customers include residential homeowners and commercial clients such as restaurants, retail businesses, fitness facilities, property managers, and schools. Many locations also offer dustless refinishing, carpet removal, furniture handling, and new floor installation.

Mr. Sandless operates across the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, with close to 200 franchised locations. Territories are sized by population and franchisees may hold multiple territories in the same market. The brand positions itself as the originator of sandless refinishing technology.
