It’s a proven fact that most dirt enters an office via the soles of the people working and visiting there. Dirt knows no curfew, entering gleefully after a 6am run, a midnight stroll with the pup, and each and every comings and goings in between. Next to the bathroom, workers will gauge the cleanliness of the business where they work by how much dust sticks to their finger when they run it across the communal copier—a reasonable order for a business like Jani-King.

In the lost art of the dust rag, a business like Jani-King knows that doing things in order is paramount to doing things right. Dust like everything else is married to gravity, so when dusting, start at the top. Use a dust cloth or duster and start at the highest points in the room, such as the ceiling lights, the tops of windows and door frames. Since dry dusting just stirs dust around and spreads it through the air causing more work, make sure the cloth is slightly damp. Follow the damp cloth by a polish with a dry cloth, especially when dusting wood.

When dusting equipment and furniture, Jani-King suggests removing all ornaments, and then dust. Dust the ornaments before putting them back. Work your way down to the floor, and then finish off by dusting the baseboards and air vents. Finally, since some dust will inevitably escape your attention, vacuum the room using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Another helpful hint: Change your dust cloth and vacuum cleaner bag frequently.

A business free of dust will not only contribute to the overall health of their workers and guests, it will improve everyone’s attitude as well. And you’ll never again be the victim of a white glove attack when you use a professional business model like Jani-King’s for all your dusting and cleaning needs.

Once again you count yourself lucky. Your new Jani-King business cleaning crew is the best in town, especially when it comes to your black and white vinyl floor.

They understand that when it comes to vinyl, the enemy is dust, sand and grit particles that can dull and mar the surface, so sweeping regularly is an imperative. They use a soft bristle broom that won’t scratch the vinyl flooring.

A quick word about waxing a vinyl floor from a professional business cleaning crew: Don’t. It will destroy the polyurethane finish that gives the flooring its glossy finish. If, for whatever reason the vinyl loses its shine, use a polish or sealant made for vinyl flooring to restore its gloss. Make sure the floor is thoroughly clean and dry, and then apply one or two thin coats. Done correctly, the shine should keep for a year.

A clean office is one of the best joys in the world. If you have to spend eight hours a day behind a desk, isn’t it nice to know there’s a business cleaning crew out there committed to providing you with a clean, beautiful environment to work in?

The dust rag our great-grandmother used to polish their parlors is now called a microfiber cleaning cloth. Whatever you choose to call it, however you use it, the dusting device continues to be the number one weapon in a commercial cleaning business’ arsenal to keep everything clean and presentable.

It’s a proven fact that most dirt enters an office via the soles of the people working there. Dirt knows no curfew, entering gleefully after a 6am run, a midnight stroll with the pup, and each and every comings and goings in between. Next to the bathroom, workers will gauge the cleanliness of their office by how much dust sticks to their finger after they run it across the communal copier.

This is where a great commercial cleaning business comes in handy, like Jani-King.

In the lost art of the dust rag, a commercial cleaning business knows that doing things in order is paramount to doing things right. Dust, like everything else, is married to gravity, so when dusting, start at the top. Use a dust cloth and start at the highest point in the room, such as the ceiling lights, the tops of windows and door frames. Since dry dusting just stirs dust around and spreads it through the air, make sure the cloth is slightly damp. Follow the damp cloth by a polish with a dry cloth, especially when dusting wood. A cleaning franchise knows to avoid using commercial polishes. They’re dust attractors and breathing in these products every day can be harmful to your health.

An office space free of dust will not only contribute to the overall health of the client’s office, it will improve attitudes as well. And that means your commercial cleaning business will never again be the victim of a white glove attack.

There are three steps to maintaining clean, great looking carpets: vacuum frequently, clean up spills promptly, and contract a professional carpet cleaning company that specializes in hot water extraction to clean the carpets. Knowing this is the secret to having a successful bank cleaning service.

Dirt dulls a carpet’s surface and causes matting. Dirt comes in a variety of causes: air pollution, toxic outdoor vapors such as new asphalt and car exhaust, and the most common—on the bottom of everyone’s shoes. Walking on dirty carpet works dirt and dust deep into carpet fibers. Once there, not only does dirt become more difficult to remove, it can actually damage the carpet.

The best weapon in the bank cleaning war against dirt is a really good vacuum cleaner, one that adjusts to carpet height and has a gentle yet strong suction power. Less expensive vacuums pick up surface dirt and nothing deeper, and can actually contribute to dulling down an aging carpet.

In a bank cleaning environment, spills are inevitable and must be cleaned up quickly. The sooner a spill is removed, the less time it has to penetrate and leave a stain. To clean up a spill, remove as much of it as possible by blotting. Use club soda to saturate the area, and then blot and dry.

In the life of every carpet there comes a time for a good, professional carpet cleaning. For most carpets, this is once every 12 months, more often in high-traffic areas or for lighter colored carpets, or in compliance with the manufacturer’s warranty. When considering a professional carpet cleaning service, look for a company that uses hot water extraction only.

Beautiful carpets beautifully maintained are a joy to behold and with proper care can remain a thing of beauty for us to enjoy for many years to come.

Ah, Monday morning, and the client knows your company has made a call over the weekend. Not only is the place sparkling and tidy, the air has that faint, clinical/medicinal scent to it, so clean it makes their eyes water—literally.

Someone sneezes, another person coughs, and the boss goes home early with a bad headache. Unbeknownst to you, you may have sent one of your favorite people—and the person who signs your paycheck—to the hospital.

Not only is going green the best thing to do for the environment, it could also keep your cleaning crew and your clients from getting sick, perhaps seriously.

Here’s some little know facts about popular chemical cleaners.

Air fresheners interfere with your ability to smell by releasing nerve-deadening agents. These products often contain toxic chemicals like formaldehyde and phenol, both of which are known carcinogens. If phenol touches your skin, it can cause it to swell, burn, peel, and/or break out in hives.

Everyone knows that bleach is a strong corrosive. It can burn your skin, and the scent can irritate your eyes and respiratory tract. But did you know that if bleach is mixed with an acid toilet bowl cleaner or ammonia, the combined chemicals can produce fumes which are deadly?

Carpet and upholstery shampoos do a great job of removing spots, but not without a price. The highly toxic substances that get rid of stains can include perchlorethylene, a known carcinogen that causes liver, kidney, and nervous system damage.

A common cleaner, chlorine was first used in World War II as a chemical warfare agent. Scientists won’t handle chlorine without protective gloves, facemask, and ventilation, yet it’s in most store-brand cleaners. The harmful effects of chlorine are intensified when the fumes are heated, as in showers, swimming pools, and Jacuzzis. There’s even chlorine in our drinking water.

And last but not least, most dishwasher detergents contain a highly concentrated form of dry chlorine. Every time you wash your dishes, some chlorine residue is left which accumulates with each washing. Food then picks up a part of this residue, especially hot food.

So, the next time you do your normally wonderfully job of cleaning his office, don’t blame the dust mites or pollen count if the client complains of skin irritation or a headache. Consider for a moment that your cleaning agents may be making your clients sick, and your employees too.

Going Green, anyone?
