Image
Macedo Janitorial has implemented a color-coded cloth system company wide in an effort to further reduce the risk of cross-contamination and systemize efficient and health conscious cleaning practices.  Color-code d cleaning cloths  offers a number of benefits to janitorial companies, cleaning companies and their customers. The adoption of four-color-coded wiping cloth technology is among many of the industry best practices that continue to designate Macedo Janitorial as an industry leader among Building Services Contractors. What Are Color-Coded Cloths & How Do They Prevent Cross Contamination? Color-coding within the cleaning and janitorial industry is the idea of utilizing varying color rags, cloths and towels for specific areas in order to reduce or eliminate cross-contamination and get a better overall clean. For instance, when it comes to office cleaning, no one wants his or her desk cleaned with the same cloth used to wipe down a urinal. And if you are an industri

Is Your Office Cleaning Company Phoning It In?

When we talk to Facility Managers about their office cleaning companies, we typically hear a few different things: “They started pretty good but now it feels like their just phoning it in.” “Our services are not very good but I can’t afford to pay more.” “Office cleaning companies are pretty much all the same and not in a good way.” “Just when we get things worked out with our office cleaning company they send us new people and it’s like we start all over again.” I get tired of it and complain which eats more time up for me. Then things are better for a short time before the level of service goes right back down. “I hired an office cleaning service because I was tired of getting so many complaints, now I think I actually get more.” “One week is can be pretty good and then the next week, I’m like what happened? There is zero consistency.” “When there is a problem, and that’s pretty often, I don’t even know who I’m supposed to tell about it.” Hearing some of these co

Open Book Pricing

How do you make sure that your facility is getting the quality clean that you're paying for? Many cleaning companies play a "shell game" in their pricing that's devised to hide illegal practices. Or they might cut corners once the job is secured. We believe this is the wrong way to build a long-term partnership. That's why we offer Open Book Pricing. Before we enter into any business agreement we always review every single line item and calculation with you. We make sure that you are completely comfortable with our service plan, and then we deliver the quality job we promised. Macedo promises: We will review every line item in your bid with you. Every item in your bid will be taken care of professionally every single time we serve your facility. No cutting corners. We will never, ever hire illegally to shave costs. So your reputation will remain spotless

Are Your Office Bathrooms Terrifying?

Are Your Bathrooms Scaring People Away? Think dirty office bathrooms are just about looks, think again. Nothing can scare off a prospective employee like a gross office bathroom. And nothing cements an attitude of apathy with existing employees quite so efficiently as work restrooms in disarray. And if you think your visiting customers won’t notice the pooling water, grimy corners, empty soap dispensers and mystery stains, you are dead wrong. The condition of your restrooms can speak volumes about the state of your business. Don't let  dirty restrooms  leave your customers or your employees with an unfavorable impression. Maybe it has been awhile since you  really  looked at your restrooms. When it comes to our office restrooms, most of us get in and get out and it can be all too easy to miss the warning signs that your restrooms are being inadequately cleaned. Don’t let your dirty restrooms get in the way of good business. The Chilling Costs of Dirty Bathrooms As a Fa

Are You Getting What You Pay For With Your Office Cleaning?

Outsourcing your office cleaning can be a huge help to any busy Facility Manager but are you getting what you pay for from your   officecleaning company ? There are some solid, measurable benefits to professional office cleaning that help you create a clean, healthy and well-organized space. And yet, if your office company doesn’t really understand the critical elements of their business and what must go into adequate office cleaning, you will not get the level of service you need. Likewise, maybe they started off okay but quickly slipped into so-so service mode sleep walking through your facility maintenance. If that’s the case then you are paying the bill without reaping the benefits. Are Your Employees to Be Responsible For Office Cleaning? Employees hired for one task never appreciate having office cleaning thrown on top of what they were actually hired for. Let’s face it,   office cleaning can be dirty work   and cleaning up after colleagues and coworkers can lead to burn
