Oxi Fresh Founder Jonathan Barnett Named One of Colorado’s Top 100 Business Leaders
The Founder of Your Favorite Carpet Cleaning Company Just Earned a Major Honor
Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning is proud to announce that its Founder and Owner, Jonathan Barnett, has been named one of Colorado’s Top 100 CEOs and C-Level Executives by the Titan 100 program. The honor places Barnett among the most accomplished business leaders in the state, earning his place alongside other executives recognized for their vision, integrity, and lasting impact on the Colorado business community.
The Titan 100 is a nationally recognized program operating in 12 markets across the country. Each year, it identifies and celebrates the top 100 CEOs and C-level executives in a region, representing leaders from both the private and public sectors who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and influence in their fields. The 2026 Colorado honorees collectively lead organizations that generate more than $20 billion in annual revenue and employ over 266,000 people.
For Barnett, the recognition is a reflection of the journey he began when he founded Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning in 2006. What started as a single-location concept built around a faster, greener approach to carpet cleaning has grown into one of the largest and most recognized carpet cleaning franchises in the country, with hundreds of locations serving customers from coast to coast.
Oxi Fresh’s signature low-moisture cleaning process—which uses significantly less water than traditional steam cleaning—was a bold departure from industry norms when Barnett created the brand. That willingness to challenge the status quo and build something better is exactly the kind of leadership the Titan 100 program was designed to honor.
“Being recognized alongside so many incredible Colorado leaders is truly humbling,” said Barnett. “When I started Oxi Fresh, I wanted to build a company that did things differently—one that customers could trust and that could create real opportunity for franchise owners. This award is a testament to everyone who has been part of that mission.”
The 2026 Colorado Titan 100 honorees will be celebrated at an awards ceremony on June 4th, 2026, at The National Western Center – LVC Arena in Denver.
While Barnett has stepped back from his day-to-day role as CEO and President of Oxi Fresh earlier this year to focus on his new venture, BE FAST Software, his foundational vision shaped the company. Oxi Fresh remains committed to delivering the same customer-first, eco-conscious service that has defined the brand from day one.
Congratulations to Jonathan on this well-deserved recognition. When you choose Oxi Fresh, you’re choosing a company built by a leader who has always believed that doing things the right way—for customers, for franchisees, and for the planet—is the only way worth doing them.
