Building Maintenance and Janitorial Service in 2017

2016 ushered in one of the biggest concerns with building maintenance and janitorial services: implementing effective cleaning procedures that stamps out germs and bacteria.

To share more details about this concern, the Worldwide Cleaning and Janitorial Industry Association shared this multimedia: 

Meanwhile, another concern in 2016, building maintenance and janitorial services, was the impact health environments (e.g., medical facilities), and learning institutes (e.g., schools, colleges, and universities) had on helping spread germs and bacteria. Because these environments often neglect understanding the impact a lack of cleanliness has, these environments accounted for higher illnesses and deaths in 2016. In fact, the ISSA conveys this important message in their educational video:

Thus, it is imperative, Michigan businesses take a serious interest in implementing professional cleaning procedures that helps combat the spread of germs and bacteria through-out Michigan communities.

Surface Cleaning Does Not Diminish the Dirt

As an employee of Allen Maintenance Corporation, I’ve gained an eye for spotting dirt in places I never paid attention to before. So, when I was visiting my new PCP office in Ypsilanti, MI, I was taken aback to find a health environment lacking standard cleaning etiquette. After all, I noticed the walls saturated with dirt and grim that seemed to have been there for more than six months. Even worse, the tile floors were screaming to be cleaned with warm water and disinfected, if not, waxed and polished.

Unfortunately, the medical team working in this environment doesn’t have enough time to evaluate the need to hire a professional cleaning staff to help them maintain a clean and healthy environment, because they’re too busy trying to help their patients achieve optimal health.

But as a consumer, I was turned off by the presence I was welcomed with as I entered and glanced around the waiting area; and later, as I sat in the patient exam room, where brown stains were left on the walls and a dirty fabric chair sat lifelessly against the wall.

Lately, I find myself conducting cleaning evaluations in almost every business environment I patronize.

In fact, I’m sure when you are in the restroom at the mall, local library, restaurant, religious chapel, or entertainment establishment, you have concerns if its clean or not, too.

Yet repeatedly, like you, I, too, find many public facilities lacking cleaning etiquette. The very reason joining forces with a professional cleaning service provider, is important. After all, working with a team of professional cleaning staff, will cut the number of germs and bacteria down. Plus, it saves money.

Simply because, a professional cleaning company understands the chemicals needed to combat germs and bacteria.

And because, Allen Maintenance Corporation, adheres to cleaning standards established by the

Worldwide Cleaning and Janitorial Association-ISSA, this corporation delivers a professional performance that meets any environment’s needs.

One reason, I work hard to help this corporation connect with as many Michigan businesses as possible, with hopes of evoking them to work closely with Allen Maintenance Corporation, to eliminate germs and bacteria.

And although commonly used search engines offer good listings on local businesses, who have built long-term reputations offering quality services; it can still be challenging to connect with a company you can trust.

Local Business Rating Response Survey

Please join Allen Maintenance Inc. in learning more about local businesses operating in the Eastern District of Michigan, by completing the survey below provided by Survey Monkey. 

To complete this survey, simply click the below button:

Leaving Urine on Bathroom Floors Stinks

One of the most disturbing features of the men’s or women’s restroom, is walking in and finding yellow stained floors, where urine has been left behind.

Disrespectfully, countless office restroom floors are stained with brownish, yellowish spots, left behind, by those who dribble or literally leave urine on the floor, near urinals and toilets. Regardless of why this occurs, after long periods of time, such stains become hard to remove, even with bleach.

One way to combat this issue, is having a professional commercial cleaning service provider who knows how to combat this hideous problem. After all, having patrons visit your office or place of business, and use the restroom, where yellowish or brownish stains remain on floors, can be a turn off.

Allen Maintenance Inc. prides itself on offering quality, professional cleaning services that help combat the spread of germs and bacteria.

One of the most important features of cleaning restrooms, is making sure areas around the toilet and under urinals, are kept clean, with EPA fighting disinfectants and stain fighters.

However, unless effective cleaning supplies are used, quite often, business restrooms are left un-kept; giving the impression to those who follow behind, no one cares about the presentation of the facility. Therefore, many times, people tend to be just as disrespectful of public restrooms; leaving behind additional stains of urine or toilet paper, tossed on floors.

Allen Maintenance Inc. would like to help stamp out this problem in your business environment. But unless, you reach out, how can we help your business achieve sanitation cleanliness?

One reason why many local businesses lack good restroom quality sanitation, is the fear of hiring a professional company, who employees untrained and uncaring people, who may have troubled past issues with the law.

While the State of Michigan is required to adhere to Federal Regulations on Discrimination in hiring people, who may have been convicted of crimes; Allen Maintenance Inc. conducts back ground checks that enables them to avoid hiring individuals, who may pose a serious threat to any professional work environment, they attain contracts with.  (www.eeoc.gov)

Therefore, rest assure, Allen Maintenance Inc. does provide all clients, a professional cleaning team that has met the requirements for position, with this Lincoln Park, MI, corporation.

So, why prolong taking the first step towards building a business partnership, with a commercial cleaning service provider, who honestly cares about the cleanliness of businesses in the Eastern District of Michigan?

Call Allen Maintenance Inc. today, and find out how this corporation can help your business stamp out unwanted germs and bacteria, including yellowish and /or brownish urine stains. Office hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. 313.383.4840.

Restroom Respect Should Include Common Courtesy

As a commercial janitorial and building maintenance service provider, Allen Maintenance Inc., is called to conduct inspections of restrooms. Too often, during these inspections, the women’s rest room, is found un-kept; toilet paper is thrown on the floor, with blood and feces displayed; water is splattered on sinks and vanity mirrors. Even worse, trash cans are packed with unwrapped tampons; causing a stench that evokes rest room users to gag.

Such findings require stringent sanitation applications- to help eliminate the spread of germs and bacteria that can develop into such things as staph bacteria, commonly connected to: toxic shock syndrome. (www.mayoclinic.org) In fact, the Mayo Clinic conveys, leaving tampons around too long, is a breeding ground for staph bacteria.  And because, some staph infections are not responding to some forms of antibiotics, it is important women practice respect for other women and cleaning companies, who are required to clean up behind them.  

This simple act of rest room courtesy, can help protect many from contracting bacteria borne sicknesses such as staph infection. However, writing articles about this doesn’t necessarily provide enough details and incentive to evoke readers’ to take responsibility.

Another horrible concern for restroom courtesy, is making sure you wipe the toilet seat down before and after, you use it. Too often, women tend to hover over toilet seats, in an effort to avoid sitting in the waste of someone, who, too, neglected to meet the demands of rest room courtesy.  Yet as adults, this form of respect, is important to honor.

Therefore, Allen Maintenance Inc. would like to ask your help in determining: how can we encourage others’ to honor rest room courtesy?

After all, Allen Maintenance Inc., has concluded that rest room courtesy is learned and adhered too, by those who have self-respect, not just for others’. In fact, over the last 25 years of professional cleaning and building maintenance, Allen Maintenance Inc. professionally trained staff, has found some alarming rest room issues, that shouldn’t be discussed in a Blog article-Ugh!

But in this case, one thing is for sure: pulling your attention to adhering to rest room respect and common courtesy, is something that can be done in a dignified way.

After all, professionalism, is a common courtesy that is taught. And in order for it to become a natural way of habit, one must practice to respect self, before knowing how to respect others.

Employee Hand Sanitization Methods Can Help Eliminate the Spread of Germs

Learning to investigate how to protect myself from contracting germs and bacteria on the job, required doing a little research.   

In fact, I wanted to be more specific about protecting myself from contracting a virus or something worse, while doing my daily job activities: cleaning and sanitizing commercial offices, where heavy flows of traffic engage daily.

Interestingly, my first investigation led me to the University of Michigan, Website- Infection Control and Epidemiology. What I learned from this site, is that even doctors have a concern about protecting themselves from spreading germs and bacteria, from one patient to another.

In detail, the article conveyed- doctors are required to wash hands and use hand sanitizer, before and after, each patient. (www.med.umich.edu)

However, this still imposes an issue for me; after all, I clean thirty desktops and empty fifty trashcans daily. So to integrate this concept of sanitation imposed by the University of Michigan; would require, I wash my hands before I begin working; and use hand sanitizer and wear latex gloves, while working. But even when I wear latex gloves, my hands still sweat inside the gloves.  

So when I got sick with a cold, I was nervous about working in the office. Luckily, I learned that hand sanitation, is extremely important. So much, the Center for Disease Control conveys that “hands hygiene is the single most important means of preventing the spread of infection.” (2016) Furthermore, the CDC conveys, “Most people don’t realize that four out of five germs that cause illness are spread by hands.”

Therefore, I’ve begun taking additional precaution to protect myself and those whom I clean up behind daily. Not only do I continually wash my hands and use hand sanitizer, but wearing gloves and using EPA germ fighting solutions, has given me the power needed to protect, both clients’ and myself.

Now I’m advocating that you do the same; protect yourself and others’, by washing your hands as often as necessary. And if need be, please carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer in your pocket or purse.  Together, we can help combat the spread of germs.

How Can Michigan Businesses Beat Germs and Bacteria in November 2016?

With the continued growth and spread of Influenza and meningitis, in the State of Michigan; question remains: How can Michigan businesses beat germs and bacteria, in November, 2016?  

One way to combat the spread of germs and bacteria, in November, 2016, is joining forces with a professional team of janitors’ operating under the Allen Maintenance Inc. corporate name. After all, this team of janitorial specialist, are trained to eliminate germs and bacteria, with the use of EPA products. This often includes the use of top shelf bleach.

Another way to combat germs and bacteria, in November, 2016, is making sure all internal restrooms are sanitized daily. Operating a business that offers restrooms, requires the use of EPA products and bleach, to destroy any signs of germs and bacteria, left behind by one user or another.

Next, making sure walls are washed, trash is emptied, and trash liners are securely tightened to waste cans, enables users to toss waste without being forced to come in contact with potential germs and bacteria that may remain atop of trash cans or near surfaces -where trash piles up.

It is just as important- to make sure office kitchen counters are wiped down, with EPA products, including bleach. However, please be sure not to leave used sponges from yesterday on counters for others’ to use tomorrow.

In fact, reports convey, changing kitchen sponges often is important. (www.eatright.org)  Although using bleach can help clean kitchen sponges; this shouldn’t be a regular way of keeping the sponge clean. Tossing it out daily, is the best alternative.

However, using services provided by a professional cleaning company, can certainly be a reward to all, who use the office kitchen to prepare meals and/or eat.

The very reason why Allen Maintenance Inc. stresses the importance of relying on their services. Not only can working with Allen Maintenance Inc. help diminish the number of germs and bacteria, in your office kitchenette. It can also diminish the number of germs spread in the employee restroom.

Therefore, why waste money buying office cleaning supplies only used bi-weekly, by employees who don’t have a professional idea about sanitation?

Doesn’t having a professional partner, who cares about the health and safety of your work environment, make you feel a little better?

Contact Allen Maintenance Inc., of Lincoln Park, MI, to learn how this corporation can help you combat germs and bacteria, in your business environment. 313.383.4840

It’s Time To Beat The Flu!

Now that winter is rapidly approaching, it’s time to begin taking precautions to help combat cold spreading germs and the Flu. After all, this season is expected to be the worse for airborne bacteria and germs. The very reason why, your business should take heed to this article’s content.

Take for instance, looking back at last year’s Flu reports, collected by the Center of Disease Control, the number of people infected, nationally, with the Flu, was considerable low; due to the high number of Influenza shots given out in 2015.  Despite this fact, there were three different influenza variant viruses reported by the Center of Disease Control, in Minnesota, Iowa, and Michigan (www.cdc.gov)

However, are you aware that simply taking a few moments to wipe down your desktop or making sure the door handles and light fixtures are cleaned, doesn’t help diminish the spread of germs and bacteria that causes the spread of Flu and cold viruses, in the work environment?

Because of this, having a team of professionally trained sanitation managers, who understands the importance of using EPA approved disinfectants, will give your business a step up on the competition.

In fact, Allen Maintenance Inc., has built a reputation on providing professional cleaning services- to Eastern District Michigan businesses and corporations, for 25 years.

Therefore, why risk having your business office tagged as being the one office in the community, where germs and bacteria are welcomed to enter and remain, to infect those who follow behind, seeking to spend quality time in your business environment.

Contact Allen Maintenance Inc. today; and start putting your worries and concerns behind. After all, Allen Maintenance Inc., has built a reputation of being a trusted, reliable, commercial cleaning service provider, for the elite business class in Eastern District Michigan.

Michigan Janitorial Cleaning Service Makes Impact

Even scarier, “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that drug-resistant bacteria cause 23,000 deaths and 2 million illnesses each year in the United States.” (www.pbs.org).  

Unfortunately, not all American business owners are aware that this problem even exist.

Therefore, to help keep Michigan businesses informed, Allen Maintenance Inc. plans to continue providing professional cleaning services that meets EPA regulations; and adheres to the Worldwide Janitorial Cleaning Association.

Sadly, many Michigan business owners neglect to offer clean environments to their consumers and office visitors’, because they assume their business environments aren’t unsanitized and don’t require specialized cleaning services.

Moreover, neglecting to sanitize counter tops, with EPA approved cleaning solutions or sweeping and mopping floors to rid the ugly site of tracked dirt from shoes, impacts how office visitors view your business.

Taking charge to build better business alliances with a reputable janitorial cleaning company, is the responsibility of local business owners’. So, what are you doing to combat the spread of antibiotic resistant germs in your community? Are you working with a janitorial cleaning service that makes a difference?
