Summer Construction Cleanup with ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, MN

June 18th, 2015 · No Comments

Summer in Minnesota is a chance for all of us to break out of our winter ice shells. It’s time to start running, grilling, and soaking up all the warmth with our family, friends, and coworkers. Unfortunately, summer in Minnesota also means construction. If you own a building, you know the decision to build or remodel during the summer months is always a numbers and timing game. You have to build fast enough to finish before the cold hits, but you also have to build correctly. At ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, we’re ready to help you with the construction cleanup that comes along.

The building or remodeling process is long and harried. It begins with the excavation for the concrete foundation, and then moves to the wood and steel of the frame. Once that’s in place comes the roofing, walls, sanding, painting, carpeting and the final move-in. You’ve got quite the project on your plate! Each decision needs to be made and will affect the final outcome. In addition, because of Minnesota weather, the pressure to get all the furniture and employees moved in can be an added stressor.

There can be a considerable amount of trash and debris generated during the construction and finishing process. Leftover dust can be an allergen for employees or clients as they move into the building. If you don’t properly clean your new space, it won’t be ready to move into. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning of Rochester has an experienced crew that can come into your new building or remodel project and clean out all the corners. We’ll even deep clean your brand new carpet, so when your building is finished, it’s also ready for you to move in.

For careful, reasonable commercial cleaning services for your last building or remodel, contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester, MN: 507-281-2494. In addition to Rochester, we serve St. Charles, Zumbrota, Kasson, and Stewartville with our commercial cleaning services.

The Importance of Health Care Cleaning in Rochester, MN

May 27th, 2015 · No Comments

We live in a community built on health care. Everyone in Rochester is more than aware of it, from those in the hospitality industry to those in transportation services. They know what they’ve got to do to make everything run smoothly. But what about the readiness of janitorial services? If you have a health care office, such as a dental clinic or other professional health care building, you have plenty of options in the area of cleaning services. Yet not all are as prepared, qualified and trained as ServiceMaster Commercial Clean when it comes to the special needs of the medical industry.

ServiceMaster takes the potential spread of bacteria or virus-caused disease very seriously. Whether the annual strain of the flu, the risk of the common cold virus, or other ailments that can spread by contact with infected surfaces or environments, we know how to properly rid your business of these dangers. In a community where visitors are often ill, the risk runs two ways: They may be vulnerable to even the most common type of infection, or they may have a condition that is transmittable without knowing it.

The only way to prevent the spread of disease is through thorough and regular cleaning with the most effective solutions and methods. ServiceMaster Commercial Clean is part of a specialized training program developed in full compliance with the Centers for Disease Control and the Joint Commission, the accrediting body for health care institutions. Our staff is trained on the regulations and procedures necessary to meet the requirements for your type of health care facility. They are also trained on HIPPA standards, so they can work with complete security around your patients.

Don’t waste your own staff member’s time on cleaning details. They have more important things to do. We’ll walk through your facility with you to learn exactly what is to be cleaned, and perform those duties consistently, on a regular schedule. We want you to rest assured that your offices, exam and treatment rooms are hygienic and safe, not to mention your restrooms, lobbies and break areas. Rochester is often called the “Med City,” and with good reason. ServiceMaster Commercial Clean is your best choice for cleaning services for the health care industry. Give us a call today.

Carpet Cleaning in Rochester, MN with ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning

May 7th, 2015 · No Comments

“Please come in. Make yourself at home.” How often have you heard or said those words? Whether spoken outright or not, that’s the attitude of most business owners, especially in the hospitality business. Second to health care, hospitality is Rochester’s biggest business. If you’re in the hospitality field, here’s a question to ask yourself: Are you meeting expectations? How do you know? Visitors to Rochester come from every state and nearly every country in the world. Let’s focus for a moment on just one aspect – carpeting. The comfort and cleanliness of your commercial carpeting is one of the first statements your business makes to prospective customers. One way to ensure you don’t fall short is to depend on ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester and surrounding communities.

Carpeting takes a beating in Minnesota’s unpredictable weather. For instance, during this time of year, people may track in snow in the morning, rain water in the afternoon, and mud, gravel and dirt from sidewalks and parking areas the entire day. If you have a high rate of customers, as in a hotel or restaurant, you have high traffic carpets. Perhaps you purchased carpeting with that in mind, made from resilient fabric and sturdy construction. Still, any carpet that retains embedded dirt or gritty stones or sand will be damaged under heavy use. Foot traffic grinds those particles against the weave and tears the threads. Food and drink spills may leave stains, but what you don’t see are the organics left behind when surface cleaning or vacuuming isn’t enough. They can combine, deteriorate and create chemicals that cause some of the worst smelling and hardest to remove odors. None of this will help your business, especially in the face of increasing competition.

Let’s face it, if you have carpeting in your business to provide comfort and a warm welcome, don’t compromise your effort and investment by keeping it in anything less than pristine condition. Contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning for the best in professional commercial carpet cleaning services in Rochester, MN and the surrounding communities.

An Unclean Store or Office Can Lead to Negative PR for Rochester Businesses

March 24th, 2015 · No Comments

There was a sign on the back hallway of a restaurant that only employees were supposed to see. It said, “Don’t give anyone a reason to go anywhere else.” The emphasis was on the quality of food, service, and cleanliness; the overall experience of being in the place. Just as diners can see only part of the operation, they assume the entire restaurant is as clean and inviting as the dining room. They also look for concerns or indicators that may cause them to draw negative judgments based on details they notice such as dust, discolored tile or grout, dirty restrooms, or stained carpets. This applies to any kind of business or institution including customer service, health care, educational or professional. ServiceMaster Commercial Clean is best positioned to meet your commercial cleaning needs in Rochester, MN and surrounding communities.

The first contacts in business are often sensory perceptions. How does a salesperson appear? Is he or she neatly dressed, well groomed, smiling, engaging? From the exterior appearance to the  windows, floors, furnishings and draperies and cleanliness of the restrooms, your building is also making the same impression on first contact. And just as your business representatives need to be as personable at mid-afternoon as they are in the morning, your facility still needs to look its best on any day of the week. That requires regularly scheduled commercial cleaning and periodic deeper cleaning of high traffic or high visibility areas.

Rochester is in the beginning of a new growth period in which different types of businesses, new clientele and a greater number of visitors and residents will be appearing. As you strategically plan to position your business for the coming years, don’t neglect the ever-important necessity of a great appearance. The sight and smell, the brightness and freshness of your facility greets people seconds before anyone can turn, smile and say hello. And that’s just enough time for people to change their minds and go somewhere else.

For all your commercial cleaning needs, call ServiceMaster Commercial Clean in Rochester, MN and surrounding communities.

School Cleaning Services Keep Students Healthy in Rochester

February 23rd, 2015 · No Comments

It’s been a rough season on student populations in Minnesota. Flu, respiratory viruses, colds, and other illnesses have caused near record absentee rates in some schools and delayed teaching schedules in others. In a year when the flu vaccine was not particularly effective, more emphasis was placed on limiting contact and transmission. That meant extra lessons in covering when coughing, frequent hand washing, and avoiding close contact. It also placed increased emphasis on cleaning and disinfecting facilities. That’s where ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning comes in. A well-trained professional cleaning service can make a difference in keeping your Rochester area school or educational facility healthy.

It’s especially appropriate to have a cleaning service that is trained and certified to clean health care facilities. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning is exceptionally versed in how to best eradicate germs and bacteria. We are familiar with the best standards of cleaning and disinfecting hospitals and clinics. This makes us the best selection to keep classrooms, school restrooms and kitchen facilities clean and safe. Our know-how and cleaning products make it easier to choose the right solution for the right problem. Viruses can live for several hours on surfaces such as a door, door handle, desk or countertop. In a very busy area such as a gym, restroom or cafeteria, this is long enough to spread illness throughout an entire institution.

ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning will come to your school, survey the environment, and consult on the best practice and standards to employ to keep your students and staff safe. Instead of a simple janitorial service to empty trash and sweep floors, let us help you keep the facility comprehensively clean. Schedules and timetables can be worked out to your convenience. The investment in a professional janitorial service will be seen every day in the number of students in the classroom and at the end of the year when total absentees are totaled. The condition of your school has a direct impact on the quality of education and the level of learning. Student who are tired, uncomfortable, feverish, or coughing don’t learn very well. Nor do those who aren’t in school at all. Keep them at their desks and keep your teachers on the job. For the best in commercial cleaning and janitorial services in Rochester, Stewartville, Byron, and surrounding communities, contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning today.

Combating Bacteria and Viruses in Rochester, MN with Janitorial Cleaning Services

November 21st, 2014 · No Comments

ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning provides germ-killing commercial cleaning services.

Most of the people who visit Rochester, MN come here with healthcare needs in mind. They are trying to get well, stay well, or are accompanying a friend or relative for a doctor’s visit or hospital procedure. While in town they may patronize your store, restaurant, office, or public facility, and they want to have a healthy experience. The negative possibilities are almost endless: They could contract the flu, a cold, a respiratory virus, or something more unusual given the variety of travelers who move through the community. Make sure that your business isn’t serving up illness this season. Do your responsible part to make your workplace or facility as healthy as possible. Let ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning establish a janitorial cleaning schedule for your Rochester business that includes the best disinfection techniques in the cleaning industry.

Disinfection and frequency are the two best approaches to ensure your place of business is not a breeding ground for microbes. Bacteria can live and grow as long as conditions are right and food is available. Viruses need a host, but a recent study by the University of Arizona demonstrated that some viruses can live for several hours on common surfaces in the workplace and infect many hosts throughout a single day. The microbiologists who conducted the experiment left a small amount of a harmless virus on the surface of a table. Within a few hours 60 percent of the staff in the office tested positive for traces of the virus. It had spread from that one surface to dozens of others, and to all who came into contact with them.

We can help make sure that those common surfaces such as doorknobs, pubic phones, computer keyboards, counter tops, sinks, lunchroom surfaces, and restrooms are all clean and safe to use. Whether it’s your clients, customers, visitors, colleagues, or employees, public health is everyone’s business. In a community that made its name on healthcare, you owe it to yourself and everyone who comes into your facility to ensure it’s safe. For professional cleaning services that emphasize disinfection, call ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning for janitorial services in Rochester, MN.

Building Expansion Requires Construction Cleanup in Rochester, MN

October 23rd, 2014 · No Comments

ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning provides post-construction cleaning in Rochester and surrounding areas.

Hardly a day goes by without hearing about a new business opening, a building being planned, or an existing building changing hands. Rochester is expanding, new enterprises are taking shape, and existing businesses are modernizing or getting ready for change. Projected growth at Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota – Rochester will mean more demand for service facilities. All that activity in the area means construction or remodeling work is being done to make the new or existing facilities meet the needs of new businesses. One component of construction that is often forgotten is cleanup. Yet it has to be done, and ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning has been doing it for years in Rochester and the surrounding area.

Poorly planned post-construction cleanup can keep your business from operating at full potential after a remodeling job. It can even delay your new operation from opening on time. Dust, dirt, and grime carried in by workers, especially during muddy days, needs to be fully removed before you can invite customers or clients into the building. Even the most careful workmen, the ones who use tarps and other materials to protect the floors and walls, still leave some remnants of grime that won’t be apparent until they leave. Sawdust in the baseboards and carpeting, smears on the tile, or perhaps a paint spill or smudge you didn’t notice, are all things you’ll want removed as soon as possible. If you need cleaning done at certain points of the construction to keep your business free of debris, we can do that as well.

ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning is experienced in post construction cleanup and we have the right tools to do the job. In fact, our methods are so efficient we can often reduce cleaning time by 20 percent or more. Whether you’ve just built a new facility, added a room or an entire wing, or finished interior remodeling in a kitchen or office area, let us make it spotless for you. We’ll handle all your post construction cleaning in Rochester, and the surrounding communities. Give us a call today to schedule service!
