Keep Your Building Healthy In The Cold and Flu Season!

This year seems to be a particularly bad one for colds and flu. The summer cold season has extended into the fall and winter, while the flu season has started earlier than normal.

Certainly there are a number of preventative approaches that building residents can take, like washing hands and using hand sanitizers. Servicemaster Clean Residential can also play a strong part in keeping people healthy at home. One of the benefits of going with us is that we are franchise of an larger organization, with a wide variety of customers and situations. One of the more critical clients for commercial janitorial franchises is hospitals and other medical facilities like doctors offices. These locations often have extremely high standards, both for the cleaning quality and the chemicals used. On the hospitals expect the highest levels of cleanliness, which is a matter of life and death for its patients.  At the same time, harsh chemicals can also upset and even harm the very same people they seek to protect. Similar considerations are present in other janitorial locations, such as daycares and schools. Nobody wants their kids going attending a classroom that smells of heavy disinfectant. 

These considerations has pushed ServiceMaster to develop stringent cleaning practices, as well as proprietary technologies such as our Green For product line. We at ServiceMaster Clean Residential take advantage of these innovations and techniques for our clients. We have discussed aspects of this system in earlier articles, such as the microfiber advantage. Our Green For cleaning line all have been formulated with very strong disinfectant properties, like Sanimaster 6. Others, like GlideRinse and Microban Disinfectants, continue to protect a surface after it has been cleaned. 

Solutions and technology can only go so far: how you employ them is the proverbial other half of the coin. Our staff are trained using the ServiceMaster’s best practices, which incorporate the stringent standards mentioned earlier. We also develop written specifications and task schedule, with a inspection plan that ensures problem areas are taken care of on a daily or even hourly basis. This includes trash removal, spot cleaning of constantly handled items (like doors, railings and buttons), dusting, vacuuming and wet cleaning. These practices are essential for reducing the prevalence of viruses, bacterias and other harmful substances on common surfaces within residential buildings. 

So if you’re considering looking for a janitorial service for a building and want to ensure you will get a professional cleaning service that will do its best to keep its residents healthy and the location clean, give us a call. We have the experience and the know-how to meet your needs, whatever it may be.
