April Showers May Bring More May Showers—Keep Your Business Clean with Janitorial Services from ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, Minnesota

March 25th, 2016 · No Comments

We’ve heard it said that April showers brings May flowers. But what if April showers bring more May showers? May tends to be one of the rainiest months of the year, and with that rain comes lots of mud. That’s why it is important to keep your lobby and business clean and in tip-top shape. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, Minnesota can help you do just that.

Lobbies are typically the prime location for mud to be tracked onto carpets, floors, and maybe even furniture. Lobbies also seem to become disorganized and cluttered with magazines thrown about, toys scattered throughout if children are near, and dust finding its way in from the opening and closing of the entry door.

The lobby, however, isn’t the only place that needs a little TLC. Janitorial services are often one of the most overlooked areas of a business. Perhaps you feel hiring a janitorial service team just isn’t in the budget and you expect your employees to take care of the cleaning and organizing. If you really think about it, janitorial services will pay for themselves in the long run by allowing your employees to focus on the work that you are expecting of them and the things that they do best—their jobs! Productivity often drops when employees are expected to clean the counters, break room, bathrooms, and vacuum, straighten, and dust the lobby.

Daily, weekly, or even monthly cleaning services will benefit you and your business. We know how important it is to have your place of business looking top-notch. We also know how important it is for your customers and employees to be in a healthy and safe environment. It’s often the little things that leave that lasting first impression. For example, is your entryway clean? Does your business smell fresh, or does it have a musty, dirty smell? Are the bathrooms clean and sanitized and paper towel and toilet paper dispensers full? Do you have stains on your furniture or other upholstery? All of these little things need attention to detail.

Whether you are looking to hire a team to perform janitorial services daily, weekly, or monthly, you can rely on ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, MN.

Benefits of Using Carpet Cleaning Services from ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, MN

March 16th, 2016 · No Comments

Proper cleaning and maintenance of your business is very important. The use of ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, MN’s janitorial services can help you ensure proper hygienic conditions are maintained. One particular service, carpet cleaning, is required to keep your business not only looking nice, but healthy as well.

 

The Importance of Carpet Cleaning

Professional carpet cleaning services can certainly take care of any stains that are left behind after the winter season.

 

Cleaning Techniques

The type of method used largely depends on the type of fiber, amount of soiling, and different environmental conditions. The most common types of cleaning methods are:

Steam cleaning

Carpet shampooing

Dry cleaning

Bonnet cleaning

Steam Cleaning

Also called hot water extraction, this method uses water which is heated up to 212° and injected into the carpet at high pressure. The hot water loosens the dirt and the machine immediately extracts the dirt and moisture away.

This method is quite useful for killing dust mites, bacteria, and getting rid of odors. The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) also considers this method to be more sanitary in comparison to other methods such as shampooing.

 

Carpet Shampooing

Shampooing utilizes a cleaning chemical which is machine incorporated into the carpet and then scrubbed using a pad or brush. This is the ideal technique for low pile and heavily soiled carpets. The next step consists of a thorough hot water extraction to remove the residue and soil.

 

Dry Cleaning

Water is not used in this technique; instead, a type of absorbent compound is sprinkled on the carpet. After that a mechanized brush is used to spread it across the carpet so that the compound can dissolve the soil. Finally, a vacuum cleaner is used to draw up the residue and soil. Natural fiber carpets like hemp and sisal, which can easily get damaged by other cleaning methods, particularly benefit from dry cleaning.

 

Bonnet Cleaning

In this technique a cleaning product is spread on top of the carpet’s surface and a rotating buffer utilizing an absorbent covering is employed. This method is able to clean only the top surface of the carpet and is considered a provisional method to be used between other types of extensive cleaning.

The professionals at ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester combine the top two methods: carpet shampooing and followed immediately with steam cleaning which increases the soil being removed from your carpet.

Don’t Let your Carpets Suffer from Poor Hygiene, Contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, Minnesota for Carpet Cleaning of Your Business

March 9th, 2016 · No Comments

Have you ever stopped to think about how often you brush your teeth, wash your clothes, and take a shower all in an effort to keep yourself clean and have good personal hygiene? Now let’s examine how often we wash the dishes, clean our bathrooms, wash and change our bed linens, wash our cars, and even clean the garage—probably a whole lot more frequently than cleaning our carpets. If you own a business and find that your carpets are in need of a facelift, contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, Minnesota.

Like our bodies, our cars, and our garage, carpets tend to attract the same dust, dirt, and particles that find their way deep down into the fibers thereby shortening the lifespan of the carpet. The winter months can wreak havoc on carpets with shoes, boots, sand, salt, and wet snow being tracked into your business entry, lobby, or office. Spring is no different with rain, mud, and dust stuck on shoes. Spring fever also includes opening windows, allowing dust to blow in with the breeze.

Not only does the dirt and dust make for an unclean appearance of your carpets, it also is a perfect place for bacteria, fungus, dust mites, and spores to grow, making the carpets in your business unhealthy, especially for those individuals with allergies or respiratory problems. Areas such as the entry of your business tend to attract the moisture first from shoes, boots, umbrellas, and snow shovels leaving the area wet and filled with musty odors. This, in itself, does not leave a good first or lasting impression.

If you find that the carpets of your business, office, meeting room, or lobby are unattractive, unhealthy, and stuck with an odor, it may be time for you to contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, Minnesota to get your business floors and carpets looking good again and healthy for your employees and clients. For the best carpet cleaning service around, contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning by calling 507-281-2494!

Don’t let your carpets suffer from poor hygiene. Take care of your carpets like you do yourself, your home, your car, or your garage. Schedule regular carpet cleanings by a professional team today to ensure a healthy work environment, an attractive lobby or office for good first impressions, and lengthen the lifespan of your carpets. Carpet hygiene is just as important as personal hygiene—clean them regularly.

Start the New Year off Right with Janitorial Services from ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, Minnesota

December 30th, 2015 · No Comments

The New Year is upon us and, as usual, we are filled with New Year’s resolutions—many that we tend to not keep. The New Year is a great time to take small yet important steps to make your life better. This can be done by hiring a commercial cleaning service for your business. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, MN has the tips and tools to help make your resolutions last.

Often times our New Year’s resolutions are focused on becoming healthier. Perhaps we resolve to join the gym, cut back on daily sweet treats, or sign up for a yoga class. However, did you know that hiring a commercial cleaning service can improve your health and the health of those around you as well?

  • Talk with your cleaning service about going green. Using cleaning products that are more environmentally friendly and less irritating for employees and customers with allergies and respiratory symptoms can really improve their wellbeing.
  • Make good first impressions with your customers. First impressions are incredibly important for the success of your business. Be certain your cleaning company reflects positively on your name with an office space or work unit that is clean and inviting. Let’s face it, no one wants to walk into a trashy looking, smelly, and cluttered business.
  • Increase your cleaning efforts to fight illness in the work place. Tis the season for viruses and bacteria to be floating around. Bump up your cleaning efforts throughout your facility to disinfect and eliminate illness among employees, customers, and clients, and strategically place antibacterial lotion dispensers for everyone to use.
  • Keep floors clean and clear. Investing in the care of your floors, whether carpet or other, will definitely pay off in the long run. First impressions are lasting impressions. Floors should be properly cleaned daily for a lasting shine.
  • Take the stress off your employees. Your employees probably already have enough on their plate and don’t have the time to take on the cleaning duties as well. Therefore, it is important that a cleaning service do what they do best to allow your employees to do their job. Relieving employees of daily cleaning duties will not only allow them to get the business work done, but will also increase their morale. Let’s face it, your employees probably don’t want to clean toilets, vacuum the floors, or clean the break room.

If you have set some New Year’s resolutions or would like to begin, contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, MN. Our trained and highly professional staff has the expertise to take the load off of you and your employees’ shoulders. We specialize in janitorial services that work best for each individual.

The Season is Approaching – the Flu Season That Is. Get Janitorial Service through ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning

November 30th, 2015 · No Comments

The season is approaching, and although you may be thinking we’re referring to the holiday season, we’re actually going to discuss another annual occurrence – the flu season. The flu bug is really quite annoying to all of us, making it necessary to take a few simple steps to try and avoid the nasty critter from getting into our workplaces and bodies. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning can help you achieve this goal in the Rochester, MN area.

Germs and viruses thrive in cold weather and even have their own coats to protect themselves during the cold winter months. These “coats” give them a chance to linger, especially when they find their way onto doorknobs, counter tops, sinks, and toilets, and then transfer from person to person. The best way to avoid this lingering and transfer is to keep a clean and sanitized workplace to keep the flu bug at bay.

Aside from keeping a clean work environment, it is also necessary to cover your mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing, wash your hands with antibacterial soap, and stay home from work when not feeling well. It’s also imperative to clean and disinfect the surfaces of your workplace such as bathrooms, doorknobs, and countertops. Restrooms are one of the favorite places for the flu bug to hang out, especially on faucets, countertops, and toilets, where they really like to feast.

ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in the Rochester, Minnesota area can assist you with thorough, regular janitorial cleaning of your business or office. If you have attracted the flu bug, or wish to prepare your office before the nasty critter finds its way to you, we have trained and dedicated personnel available to get the job done. We’ll disinfect, sanitize, and deodorize so you can enjoy the fall and winter months free of the flu bug. Make these next several months all about the holiday season—not the flu bug season.

First Impressions Mean a Lot – Clean and Maintained Hard Surface Floors are the First Step

September 1st, 2015 · No Comments

If you own a business, you know how important first impressions are for the success of your business. Every business could use a little boost to attract new customers and create a good name for themselves. Clean and properly maintained hard surface floors are a must. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, Minnesota can help you create a good first impression and boost the success of your business.

It requires regular cleaning and maintenance to help control wear and tear on your floors, minimize damage, and reduce the costly repair or replacement of your floors. High traffic areas require more intensive cleaning because the finish and protective coating are worn down more quickly. This will leave your hard surface floors with a dull, lifeless look ­– not a good first impression when customers walk through the door.

If your hard surface floors experience high traffic and significant wear and tear, they are vulnerable to further damage and will require repair or even replacement. As a business owner, it may be difficult to find the money in your budget for such an expense.

Many janitors are not properly trained to clean and maintain your hard surface floors, as it requires the proper equipment and cleaning products to get the job done right. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, Minnesota have staff trained to use the correct product to get your floors looking clean—and keep them that way—leaving your customers with a good first impression. If you are tired of cleaning your hard surface floors yourself or your current janitor isn’t trained to clean and maintain them like you expect, contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning today. We promise you that your floors will have that extra sparkle when customers walk through the door. And as an extra bonus, your business will look like a perfect showcase every single day. First impressions are important and we strive to make your business all that it can be through ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning!
