SEASONS CHANGE, CLEANING NEEDS CHANGE...

The last 24 hours here in Minnesota have been a weather person's dream! High winds, rain, dropping temps and culminating with some snow. As I awoke this morning, to see the flurries furiously falling (bet you can't say that 3 times, ha! I thought immediately of the recent training we did with our staff regarding seasonal change and how it affects our tasks.

Changing seasons, changes and often times expands our task lists. As the leaves fall and temperature drops, Squeak E Clean, switches to our customized winter months task list. One service we offer during the cold weather months is touch point cleaning. Touch point cleaning is a very detailed cleaning which involves disinfectant cleaning of door knobs, light switches, keyboards, phones and all other surfaces frequented by multiple people. This cleaning reduces employee exposure to illness. When we prepare a proposal, we also prepare a winter addendum. We talk to our customers about what we foresee their winter needs will be. We talk about the amount of salt on the ground, their previous experiences and how we can maintain the same appearance all year round. Winter months are filled with carpet cleanings, floor scrubbing, air return and vent cleaning. This time of the year can be trying on your office space, unless you're working with US! Preparation is key!
