History
Advanced Cleaning Systems, LLC (“ACS”) was established in 1998 by Kevin and Natalie Kreidinger. After starting a family and needing extra income, Kevin decided to take on a second job working for his uncle to learn the janitorial trade. At the time Kevin was working for a computer software company located in EBCO Park. Kevin approached the owner of EBCO Park, Everett Walker, mentioned his plan to start a cleaning business and asked for a chance to clean one of the buildings there. At first, Mr. Walker declined Kevin’s offer over concerns about coverage if he was unable to clean. After additional consideration, Mr. Walker decided to give Kevin a shot and offered him one building to provide janitorial services. That building in EBCO Park was the official start to Advanced Cleaning Systems, which remained there until 2014 when the Kreidingers purchased their current location at 26th and Charlotte.
Over time, the Kreidingers’ janitorial business grew, as did their family. Years later, Kevin and his 4-year-old son, the youngest of five children, went back to EBCO Park and ran into the owner who gave him that chance years before. Kevin asked Everett, “Have you ever seen the movie, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ with Jimmy Stewart?” After an affirmative response, Kevin questioned, “Have you ever wondered how the things you’ve said or done affected others’ lives outside of your family?” Mr. Walker responded, “No, not really.” Kevin continued, “Well, they say families these days have on average two kids. Because you gave me the opportunity, I have three additional children.” Touched with emotion, Mr. Walker looked at Kevin’s son, then back at Kevin. He paused and broke into a smile, stating, “…Well, I’m NOT paying for their college!”

Kevin Kreidinger is the owner and operator of ACS and Natalie, his wife, is the office manager and accounting coordinator. When eligible to work, all of their five children have been employed with the business.

Kyle worked at ACS through his high school years and summers until he chose to be a division supervisor at Slippery Rock University for
