Lunch & Learns – Great Sandwiches!
Gutter Cleaning – Timing,  The Myth 
Unlimited Spot Cleaning Floor Care
Cold Weather Service – Budgeting – 10K

It’s November 

In the Strata Cleaning economy, there is no doubt that November is the starting point for the winter season. In this edition of Strata Cleaning News, we touch on the fable of “Let’s clean the gutters when all the leaves have fallen” and why there is a better attack plan. We also cover our popular floor care unlimited spot cleaning program and provide some insights into budgeting for this year’s de-icing and snow removal services.

The Property Manager is expected to be an expert on everything and that contains cleaning services. We can help – cleaning services represent a large budget item and a major touch point.

We have an exciting Lunch & Learn Program we offer to property managers – with a meal included. We can’t pass 30 years of accumulated learnings in an hour, but we can share ways to make your workday easier. Did I mention a free lunch with a gourmet sandwich shop in your office? If your company is interested, please get in touch with me and we can set up a date.

Enjoy your week, and if we can help in any way never hesitate to reach out.

The roof over your head

Your roof is arguably your home’s most important feature. Without a roof, you wouldn’t have a home at all, just a yard with walls and a floor. Your home’s roof keeps the rain and snow out. In the winter it keeps the heat in and in the summer it provides shade. It also protects your walls, floor, foundation, and whatever valuables you keep inside. Your home’s roof is so important, that people often refer to their home simply as “the roof over their head.”READ MORE

Soft Washing Chemistry

Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses a liquid cleaning solution to remove dirt, algae and other organic material from a building’s facade. The liquid cleaning solution is sprayed on the building using low-pressure pumps and then left to react. After several minutes the solution breaks up any contaminants on the building and is later washed off using water and mechanical agitation (aka brushes). The entire process uses low-pressure and thus avoids many of the problems associated with pressure washing.

Breaking the 300′ Barrier

Cleaning tall high-rise buildings has always been challenging, but once a building exceeds 300’ (approximately 30 stories) the situation becomes even more difficult, especially where no engineered swing stage has been permanently installed on the building. At these heights, the requirements for traditional access methods, such as bosun’s chair and swing stage, require specific engineering, as set out in WorkSafeBC regulations. Under these circumstances, an industrial rope access system might be more appropriate.READ MORE
