Waiting for baby

Any day now my wife and I will be welcoming our first child to this world. So, for the moment, cleaning services are occupying a position a bit further down the totem pole.

Not to worry! My staff is in control and maintaining high standards across all of our janitorial services accounts.

Exciting times!

Top 5 Most Overlooked Things In Your Office In Need Of A Good Cleaning

Sometimes the trash has been emptied, the desks are dusted, and the bathrooms cleaned, but your office is still not sparkling. Here are the top 5 things that most office managers, property managers, and janitorial companies overlook.

  1. The entry glass - Are the doors at your office made of glass? If so, chances are they are covered with finger prints, water stains, and grime. Many times its not necessary to clean all the glass in entire building, but we recommend cleaning the door glass often - once a week if you can manage it.

  2. The fire extinguishers - The life savers often go unnoticed, but they are usually covered in dust. Spray them down with a little green cleaner and polish them up for a cleaner office environment.

  3. The VCT - Everyone knows that tile occasionally needs a scrub and wax. Just remember that this is the only way to make tile floors shine. Mopping will maintain your shine, but eventually you'll need to recondition.

  4. Chewing gum- Its everywhere and its unsightly. Use a little bit of solvent to remove gum from carpet, chairs, trash cans, and sometimes even inside planter boxes... which brings us to:

  5. Office plants - Plants make your office warm and inviting, but they are also a magnet for airborne dust and allergens. Don't forget to give the plants a monthly (or at least quarterly) washing. This is especially important if you are in a high-traffic office.
If you are not addressing all of these problems - don't worry, you're not alone. With just a few minutes of extra attention per week, you can brighten up your office property. If you need help, call us and we'll give you fee estimate for Austin's best janitorial service. :)
