Getting our hands dirty

We recently had the opportunity to clean they vinyl ceiling at a local Black Eyed Pea. Vinyl ceilings are often collectors of contaminates like grease, dirt and bacteria that rise with the warm air, which are common conditions found in restaurants.  Our cleaning process allows us to not only clean the appearance of the ceiling but more importantly disinfect the surface,  killing bacteria that cause odors and other health  issues.  Call us today for a free demonstration on one of your dirties tiles!

Microfiber Miracle

The method for cleaning floors has certainly changed over the years. Before cross-contamination was an issue, cleaners would use string mops and a bucket of water and cleaning chemicals — dipping repeatedly until the floor looked clean. Little did they know that every time the mop hit that water, there was potential for the spread of dirt and bacteria.

These days, however, cleaners have choices when it comes to cleaning for health. Ergonomic cotton mops used in conjunction with advanced bucket systems can prevent cross-contamination. And microfiber mops have proven to be an asset to any cleaning arsenal because of its ability to pick up dirt and dust better than other fabrics.

Our cleaners used to use one mop bucket for three rooms. Now, they can use one pre-saturated microfiber mop head for each room, which reduces the risk of transferring bacteria and viruses from one room to another.

Increased Health Benefits from Utilizing Professional Janitorial Services

Whether you are a new businesses or already established, you understand the importance of employee morale in relation to employee productivity. Happy employees mean more productive employees. One method of making sure your employees are in top form is to utilize professional janitorial services. A clean environment will help you to establish the importance of your employee?s health.

If you are not using a professional janitorial service, you may find there are several contaminates in the workplace. Whether they are dust contaminates, allergens, or mold spores, you will find all of these will contribute to lower employee productivity and a lower employee morale. Lower productivity can lead to loss of sales, loss of repeat customers, loss of wages, and inefficiency of the staff. All of these in relation to one another can be a major loss of income for the business and janitorial services can assist you in the prevention of loss of production due to contaminants in the workplace.

Poor air quality in the workplace can cause many problems for the employee. If the work environment is not clean, your employee can suffer from such things as occupational asthma to hypersensitivity pneumonitis, an inflammation of the lung caused by small airborne particles, such as mold spores and inorganic matter. When your employees suffer from these types of issues, you will find not only their morale is lowered, but their productivity, as well.

You may also find that if your employees are experiencing numerous health issues, the cost of your employee benefits package may be on the rise, as well. More and more health insurance companies are factoring in the high health risk of employees. This includes those who are obese, smoke, and have high blood pressure. However, if your employees are consistently experiencing health problems associated with allergens in the workplace, both you and the employee may be paying higher insurance premiums. Again, this can cause lower employee morale and have an effect on their production.

To insure your employees are at their best, your business will want to utilize the resources of janitorial services. Cleaning services can help you with daily, weekly, or monthly cleaning services. They can help you to determine the needs of your business and take your employee?s working environment and health seriously. They will help you to insure the working environment at your business is free from harmful contaminants, such as allergens, mold spores, and other inorganic matter that may be airborne by providing thorough cleaning services.

Cleaning services will provide professional cleaning services, as well as floor cleaning and restoration services and will provide to you a free, no obligation, written evaluation of what they can do for your business. When you go through utilizing such services, you will find your employees will have a higher morale from healthier work conditions and the result will be higher employee productivity.

You have to Experience it!

If you are like us you have probably become accustomed to hearing words like: Quality, Unmatched, Premier, Satisfactory and many more to describe business services. You have probably even heard those words being self described about a company when they were lousy and delivered a service far from quality or even satisfactory. The fact of the matter is, the best way to identify a quality service is if people talk about you. I spread the word when I eat at a new restaurant and the food blew me away, when I go to a car wash and the attendant went out of his way to make me feel part of his car wash family, or when you receive a smile from the cashier at the Chevron every single time. When you have an experience that is positive you go back and again and again and you talk about it with others.

When choosing a quality janitorial company or and other services do your home work. Ask the companies they service. Listen to what they say. Ask for letters of reference. Do they offer janitorial consulting? What does their training program consist of? Do they have a quality guarantee? Janitorial companies are a dime a dozen but quality janitorial care is far and few between.

Takes a Closer Look at Germs Lurking in the Workplace

Here’s a video of the University of Arizona’s Dr Charles Gerba on germs in the workplace; note particularly the somewhat evocative observation that one’s work station often has several hundred times the germ load of one’s toilet seat.
