Office Cleaning: Get The Most From Your Service

Office Cleaning: Get The Most From Your Service Posted: 07 Apr 2011 12:20 AM PDT On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be that much to say about office cleaning. However, if you’ve recently hired a company to take care of the daily tidying chores, you may be wondering why things aren’t turning out the way you’d planned. Maybe you feel as if the company you’ve hired isn’t worth the money. This may be true, but there are some tips you can employ that will help you wring every dollar’s worth out of your office cleaning company. The first thing you need to do is figure out a schedule that works for both you and the service you’ve hired. After they’ve worked for you for a couple of weeks, you’ll be able to discern the kind of schedule that works best. You may notice that they are coming much more often than is really necessary. Perhaps they are not visiting frequently enough and the dirt is piling up. Talk to the service and work something out that makes sense both financially and practically. If you feel you aren’t getting things done in certain areas, you may wish to leave the service with a checklist of tasks. Don’t let your employees go into slob mode just because you’ve hired an office cleaning service. While it might be tempting to leave trash around and leave dishes piled in the company sink, this will give the service much more to do in a limited time, taking away from more important chores. If you can keep the workplace relatively tidy throughout the day, the people you’ve hired can focus on the actual work instead of just picking up after lazy employees. It can be a hassle to have your employees try to concentrate and work while the office cleaning service is dusting here and vacuuming there. It might make more sense to have them come in after everyone else has gone home. This is they way many companies do it, and it works from an efficiency and convenience standpoint. Of course, you may feel justifiably reluctant to have workers around sensitive materials at night. If you don’t have a security staff, you might think about locking up anything particularly private or installing cameras. Finally, remember to be realistic. These service companies aren’t genies who can turn cow patties into gold bars. You have a right to expect a job done well, but you have to understand that you get what you pay for. If you’re shelling out a hundred bucks a visit, you should expect things done quite well. For $25 a visit, you may get the trash taken out. Choose a Greensboro office cleaning company to help keep your place of business neat and clean. For more information, visit http://www.heitsofcentralnc.com

Wood Blinds – Best Methods For Cleaning Them Posted: 05 Apr 2011 08:20 AM PDT If you have wooden blinds in your home or are planning on getting some in the near future then it’s important to know how to clean them. Wood blinds look great in a number of different situations which is why they’re so popular but you need to remember that they require a certain level of maintenance in order to stay looking their best. The problem is, dust and dirt regularly accumulates on wooden blinds which need to be cleaned regularly. Also, wood can rot or become disfigured if it isn’t cared for correctly. Some people get around this problem by using faux wood blinds which don’t require the same level of maintenance, but if you have real wooden blinds how can you care for them? The first thing you should do is regularly get rid of all the dirt on the blinds by using a vacuum. This is safer than using water on wood and can also be done without taking the blinds down so is usually straightforward to do. The only thing you need to be careful of is scratching the wood which is why using one of the soft brush heads is usually a good idea. Sometimes there’s bits of dirt that just won’t come off and in this case you need to use something that provides more friction without damaging the wood. A soft cloth will do although you need to be careful that it isn’t so brittle that it scratches of marks the wood. Always try to brush in the direction of the slats. The most important thing to remember is that if you can’t get a bit of dirt off the wood then more force is not necessarily a good idea as you risk causing damage. In some cases even using a dry cloth may not be enough so you should try using some sort of wood cleaner. It’s important to only use products that have been created with the purpose of being used on wood otherwise it you risk permanently damaging your blinds. While wood blinds do require some maintenance in most cases it doesn’t take long to do. It’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer of the blinds and ask how they recommend cleaning them before trying any technique just to be on the safe side. To get a professional clean you could also pay a specialist to do the job for you. - John Potemkin is a writer and enthusiast of many subjects – including health, travel, work and home improvement.
