Role Overview

In the bustling heart of Dayton, Ohio, Cintas is on the hunt for dynamic Route Service Sales Representatives - UltraClean to join our elite team. Picture this: you're the hero of hygiene, rolling out each day in a state-of-the-art company van, armed with cutting-edge no-touch cleaning technology that transforms dirty surfaces into spotless showcases. This isn't just a job; it's a journey where you build lasting relationships with local businesses, from vibrant manufacturing plants in the Miami Valley to sleek office spaces downtown. As a Route Service Sales Representative - UltraClean, you'll manage a dedicated route, delivering impeccable cleaning services while uncovering opportunities to upsell innovative products that keep your clients sparkling clean and ready for success.

Dayton, Ohio, with its rich aviation heritage and innovative spirit—home to the Wright Brothers and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force—mirrors the high-flying potential of this role. You'll service a diverse clientele, ensuring their facilities gleam with the UltraClean promise. Key to thriving here is your knack for customer service, blending technical cleaning prowess with sales savvy. Whether it's meticulously sanitizing high-traffic areas or recommending enhanced disinfection protocols, you're the frontline ambassador for Cintas' commitment to cleanliness and safety. This position demands DOT compliance for driving vehicles over 10,000 pounds, so expect a rigorous yet rewarding path that starts with obtaining your medical certification and hits the ground running on day one.

Day in the Life

Your alarm buzzes at 5:30 AM in Dayton, Ohio. After a quick breakfast, you head to the Cintas facility in the 45404 zip code, where your customized step van awaits, stocked with UltraClean gear. By 6:30 AM, you're on the road, navigating the familiar streets of Dayton toward your first stop—a bustling factory on the edge of town. You park, grab your lightweight no-touch cleaning equipment, and in minutes, you're fogging surfaces with hospital-grade disinfectants, leaving no spot untouched.

Next, it's a quick drive to a corporate office in downtown Dayton. Here, you chat with the facilities manager, who's thrilled with last week's results and eager for your pitch on our premium matting services. A signature on the upsell form, and your route's revenue ticks up. Lunch is a sandwich in the van between stops at a school cafeteria and a medical clinic, each visit a chance to solve problems—like adjusting cleaning frequencies for peak flu season.

Afternoon brings heavier lifts: hauling equipment up stairs in a multi-story warehouse. By 4 PM, you're wrapping up, cleaning your van's interior to pristine condition. Back at base by 5 PM, you log your services, celebrate a new account won, and head home, knowing you've made Dayton cleaner. Evenings might involve team huddles or training on new UltraClean tech, but the satisfaction of empowered customers lingers.
