Your office carpet is continually fighting a battle with dirt, bacteria, and debris. A clean carpet will enhance your office space and maintain a healthy indoor environment.
Color and Type of Carpet
If you have a light-colored carpet, make sure to vacuum daily. Vacuum cleaning is a must to keep the carpet looking fresh and clean, as it also prevents the dust and dirt from settling in the fibers. Traffic in Your Commercial Space The frequency of carpet cleaning highly depends on the number of employees and visitors coming to your office. The carpets in high-traffic areas like entranceways and corridors should be vacuumed daily, whereas with lower traffic areas like conference rooms, once a week is fine. If your workplace sees a heavy amount of foot traffic, professional carpet steam cleaning services may be done twice a month. Type of Business Facility Office building carpets should be steam cleaned every six months to a year, depending on the number of people entering the office space. Spills should be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent permanent staining. Does your carpet need professional cleaning? Contact Peach State Cleaning Solutions to get a customized commercial carpet cleaning for a healthy indoor environment. There are numerous benefits of recycling, both for your business and the environment.
Monetary & Energy Savings
Reduced waste means reduced costs. Set up recycling stations around the office to recycle paper, batteries, and electronics. Saving energy is beneficial on both a financial and environmental level. Protect the Environment Recycling reduces 10 major types of air pollutants and 8 categories of water pollutants. For every ton of paper recycled, you save 7000 gallons of water and 17 trees, reports the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling also decreases the strain on landfills. This is particularly important for materials such as office electronics, which contain toxins that could otherwise contaminate groundwater, affecting the health of your local community. Job Creation The recycling industry requires a far greater workforce than waste management. In California, for example, for every job in recycling collection, eight are created for manufacturing the recovered materials, reports Stanford University. Improved Company Image Consumers love to know that the companies they conduct business with are responsible. Recycling can also improve your image with employees — seeing an effort being made in the office can boost morale, lower staff turnover, and increase individuals’ efforts at home. Starting an office recycling program will allow you to take full advantage of the benefits of recycling, and conducting a waste audit will help you know the eco-friendliness of your office. Contact Peach State Cleaning Solutions to create an affordable cleaning service for your business. Our green cleaning services ensure a healthy and eco-friendly working environment for you and your employees. All commercial cleaning companies are the same so you might as well hire the company with the lowest quoted price, right?
Yes, price must be a consideration, but it should never be the only consideration when choosing a cleaning service. A cheap price might indicate an inexperienced company that doesn't understand just how much time it is going to take to clean the building. This company will soon realize they can't operate, much less make a profit, at the low price they quoted, and soon will be asking to raise the price, or cut back on the services currently being provided. Or, they'll just start cutting back without having a discussion with the client, leaving that client frustrated with the quality of service. Companies that offer cheap prices in order to secure an account usually end up performing subpar quality cleaning and find they are unable to fulfill the contractual requirements. The client begins to notice that their building is no longer being cleaned like it should and realize that perhaps choosing the company with the lowest price may not have been the best decision. There are many incorrect assumptions about commercial cleaning, but this one needs to be put to rest. While building owners and facility managers may have some predetermined notions about cleaning companies either from lack of knowledge or perhaps a bad experience, what will always remain the same is the need for a high-quality, professional cleaning company that will keep their building clean and fulfills their needs at a fair price. At Peach State Cleaning Solutions we can prove that any predetermined assumptions do not apply to us, and bet our reputation on it. We maintain superior service standards by providing services through pre-screened and well-trained employees. By listening to our client's needs, we are able to address these needs, and deliver unmatched value with clear, transparent pricing. Providing prompt and polite customer service and quickly responding to any concerns, questions, or issues creates a solid association with our clients. Floors make an important impression on your building.
Dirty Floors Have Short Lives
Floors that are not properly cleaned will have a shorter life. Over time, the accumulation of dust, debris, and dirt can wear down, corrode, and structurally damage floors. Some debris may contain chemicals or acid, which can cause extensive damage to the floors, especially when they are not cleaned or removed for a long period. As a result, you may need to repair or replace your floors more frequently. Negative Brand Image As a business, you should maintain the reputation of your brand image. Do not think that dirty floors can only affect your employees, it can also affect your potential business partners, suppliers, and customers who regularly visit your premises. If your business leaves a bad impression on them, they will likely terminate your business collaboration. Make every effort to keep your floors clean and please your business affiliates. Affect Employee's Health Unclean floors contain germs, bacteria, and viruses, which can cause potential health problems to your employees. Your business may experience an increase in employee sick days if your floors are dirty. On the other hand, you will be able to protect the health of your employees and cut down sick day expenses by having a clean floor, which is free of microorganisms. Peach State Cleaning Solutions can help you get rid of dirty floors by effectively cleaning and removing the microbes, dust, dirt, and other substances. We have the right cleaning equipment and chemicals to get the job done perfectly and precisely. With floor care services offered by a commercial cleaning company, you can enjoy clean and sparkling floors, which can create a professional image for your business. Contact us today to create a customized and affordable cleaning program for your business. Safety checklists help in reducing or removing risks that can cause illnesses, injuries, and incidents to janitorial workers.
While it’s impossible to provide a fully comprehensive list of janitorial safety guidelines, this list will provide you with a solid foundation to follow:
Health Make sure your facility is adhering to all OSHA regulations especially in regards to bloodborne pathogens. Contaminated and improperly disposed of sharps can cause puncture injuries and possibly transmit bloodborne infections. All businesses and institutions that use sharps for medical care must adopt practices that isolate sharps and ensure they are disposed of properly. This includes training your employees and posting visual aids around the workplace as reminders of the specific guidelines. Safety Falls on floors occur in various ways and from various causes. The principal causes of falls on floors are due spills and other contaminants. The National Safety Council advises that all employees be trained to use containers for the disposal of trash and wrappings only, taking care to dispose of liquid waste separately (to prevent leaks and possible slip and fall injuries). Additionally, if containers are not large enough to hold the trash that accumulates during the workday, make an effort to secure larger containers (to prevent lower back injuries, trash weight inside containers should be limited to 35 lbs), provide janitorial service more often, or study the operation in an effort to reduce the amount of trash. A recycling program, if not already in place, is recommended for the disposal of cardboard and paper products. Most importantly, trash must be kept off the floors. Environment Janitorial employees are often faced with a myriad of safety concerns when working at night. If they are required to move trash from the building to a dumpster, there is an additional risk. Therefore, ensuring a safe workplace is critical. All outside areas should have lighting in good working order. This includes parking lot lights, dumpster area lights, and all entryway lights. If any lights are burned out be sure to get them replaced right away. Lastly, be sure to trim down any overgrown trees, shrubs, etc., which can create dangerous blind spots. Let's commit to creating a plan for a safe work environment for all who enter your business. Partner with Peach State Cleaning Solutions to maintain a safe and healthy workplace by identifying potential hazards and implementing safe work practices. These 3 resolutions can help you reach your 2022 business goals.
Over the past 12-plus months the marketplace has changed drastically and we have seen new cleaning trends emerge, strategies evolve, and employee and customer needs continue to shift. The new year is a time to reflect on what has worked and how to develop strategies to continue to improve.
Below, we have listed three resolutions that will set you and your team up for a healthier and more successful year: Get Organized When evaluating your office space, ask yourself: does the design of your office create an efficient workflow or does it promote chaos? Does the general organization help or hurt your team’s productivity? The beginning of the new year is a perfect time to clear clutter and get efficient with ways to make your space work for you. The new year is also a perfect time to introduce new policies or procedures that will keep the office running smoothly throughout the year. Go Green Going green is a great way to remove harmful chemicals from your environment and reduce your company’s overall negative impact on the earth. Make it a priority to proactively look for opportunities to implement environmentally-friendly practices like recycling programs, reducing print usage by moving to digital workflow, or encouraging ride-sharing. Consider upgrading outdated equipment to newer models, as many newer machines require less energy and resources. Switch cleaning supplies to earth-friendly, natural products or work with a company like Peach State Cleaning Solutions that does. Consistency is Key When it comes to change, we all start out with the best intentions in mind, but sticking to our resolutions, regardless of how beneficial they are to us, can be difficult, especially when you’re running a business. This January, commit to a regular cleaning schedule that proactively takes care of maintenance and quickly addresses any issues or messes. If that sounds like a lot to take on right now, we get it. And we’re here to help you get started. Peach State Cleaning Solutions will meet with you to evaluate your building or workspace to create a customized solution that will meet your needs and preferences.

Find Reliable Cleaning Services
Team up with a service provider that provides exceptional commercial disinfection services of the most-touched surfaces, so that your employees can enjoy working in a clean office space. Promote Well-Being Having a program that promotes employee wellness can impact a company in many positive ways. Encourage staff to practice personal cleaning habits such as cleaning their desks, and cleaning up spills before leaving for the day. Employees will benefit from managing their work schedule while also cleaning up after themselves. Provide Thorough Training As you prepare your office space for the holidays, hold a weekly meeting to recap previously learned knowledge from past training programs. As you provide training, send out digital documents of all the associated notes so that you don't have to waste paper. Remove Potential Hazards The best way to give your employees the gift of a safe work environment is to remove all hazards. As you progress through a strict cleaning process, it's essential to make a daily list of things to do around the office to help remove potential hazards. As staff learn personal cleaning habits, they develop better awareness and appreciation for a tidy space. Here's what to include in a daily chore list:

Window Cleaning
Your office windows are one of the first things customers see when entering your office space so it's important that they reflect well on your business. Commercially cleaned windows not only help control germs and prevent mold growth, but they also make a positive impact on your business’s appearance and contribute to a healthy atmosphere for those working in your facility. Grounds cleaning Leaf removal gives a property a polished appearance and your landscape contractor should be doing spot clean-up of leaves on a regular basis to avoid a major pileup, and prevent leaves from being tracked into your building. HVAC system cleaning Colder months result in reduced indoor ventilation which increases dust build-up. We begin to see more dust and other pollutants accumulate on desks, computers, chairs, and other workspaces. This accumulation decreases overall indoor air quality and may contribute to an increase in allergies. By having your HVAC system professionally cleaned and air filters replaced, you will reduce the level of pollutants and protect your indoor air quality creating a healthier environment. Carpet cleaning Carpets and floors are germ sponges and see the most abuse each year. Just after a season, your carpets are left with all types of grime, dirt, and bacteria as they absorbed everything: food and drink, skin cells, mold and mildew, dust, and all that was transferred from outside. An important part of keeping your office clean and healthy during the winter is making sure your floors are cleaned on a regular basis. Deep cleaning the carpets at least once a year, and preferably more, can help cut down on the germs and keep your carpets looking new. Hard Floor cleaning Hard floor cleaning and refinishing can inject new life into your floors and goes a long way in protecting them. If you have noticed that your floors are looking noticeably dirty and dull, then now is a great time to have your floors professionally cleaned. How We Can Help At Peach State Cleaning Solutions we provide a wide array of services, including regular daily janitorial cleaning services, as well as, intensive cleaning projects such as deep carpet cleaning and floor cleaning, including stripping and waxing. Contact Us today for a free quote or call 678-468-3229. To help you understand both kinds of maintenance, a good company can help break down the basics.
Read on to find out the differences between general cleaning and deep cleaning, as they are not exactly alike. What Makes General Cleaning Different and What's Included? Typically, general cleaning services cost less, but routine cleaning focuses on maintaining the facility layout and is based on a schedule. The service you receive consists of simple cleaning tasks that are completed on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis with the schedule varying depending on your needs. The main difference between a general clean and a deep clean is that one does a more detailed and thorough job than the other. Some of the things a general cleaning includes are: 1. Wiping down surfaces of dust 2. Cleaning and disinfecting restrooms, office spaces, and more 3. Vacuuming and mopping floors What Makes Deep Cleaning Different and When Should You Deep Clean? Deep cleaning applies more attention to detail than general cleaning. During a deep cleaning, cleaners will complete a more extensive list of tasks in a commercial building to help keep the environment clean for workers and guests. During a deep clean, the focus is on wiping over everything twice and ensuring everything within walking and hand-grabbing distance gets sanitized. While deep cleanings cost more, there's more attention to detail when cleaning compared to general cleaning procedures. Every situation is unique, however, the best time to perform a deep cleaning job is when a new season starts. We recommend doing a deep clean once every six months to a year. Which Service is Right for You? This question is one we get all the time at Peach State Cleaning Solutions. The best way to know which service is right for you is to sort out all of your needs. That way, you know what you want out of a cleaning service provider. If you're eager to get started, reach out for a standard rate on a deep cleaning from us.
