Commercial Cleaning

One thing we run into often in the commercial building maintenance business is “low-ball” bids, primarily when working with commercial janitorial services. There are many ways that a janitorial company can make themselves appear ridiculously cheap; the unfortunate thing is that none of these tactics are suitable for the client. The truth can always be found by comparing your bid and your state’s minimum wage requirements to the national standards for commercial cleaning found on the ISSA website (www.ISSA.com). This website will help you figure the approximate net profit your janitorial company is making on your building, and you can always count on the fact that if your contract nets 1% your janitorial company is making that profit up somehow.

Consider Your Layout

While the entirety of your store should be kept clean, there are areas you can prioritize. Start with your entrance. Windows should be kept free of smudges and dust away from ledges. The items placed at the front are probably the ones you are hoping to sell so make sure they are kept organized, and the tables are wiped down. Multi-purpose cleaning supplies are perfect for these areas and will ensure a positive first interaction.

While the entirety of your building reflects back to your business, there is one area that stands out. The restroom is a necessity of life and probably the most frequently visited room in your space. Maintaining a bathroom can be simple, but when neglected is painfully obvious.

A clean facility is of utmost importance for medical providers. When it comes to applying cleaning products to specific areas, there can be some confusion about whether the area needs to be sanitized or disinfected. These are two different processes with separate outcomes. Let's talk about the difference.

The Purpose of Sanitizing

To sanitize an area is to reduce the present bacteria to an acceptable public safety level. Public health measures are put in place to determine these levels, and it is critical for medical facilities to maintain them. Use sanitization measures on all surfaces, areas, and equipment.
