Macedo Janitorial

Does your school cleaning company deserve a place on the honor roll or do they need remedial classes? If you have spent some time with a  school cleaning service  that isn’t delivering on their promises to you, you know just how frustrating it can be. Still, most schools are under constant pressure to reduce costs and it isn’t unusual for schools to be working with less than optimal budgets. How do you keep a school facility looking its best even with razor-thin budgets? And how do you find a school cleaning service really capable of making the grade? The idea of tight budgets AND great service might seem incompatible but technology and innovation in the janitorial industry have made it possible to do more with less, employ   smart clean technology   and stay in line with budgets. So what are the best school cleaning services doing differently?  What really separates the masters from the disasters?  And how can you find the best, most pr...

As a facility manager, it isn’t unusual to overestimate the effectiveness of our office cleaning services. Maybe our  medical office cleaning service  started strong but we have noticed that service has slipped below an acceptable level of clean. Or perhaps we just get so used to the state of our building that we stop ‘seeing’ some of the things other people may. Maybe we have simply become so inundated with other issues that we don’t feel like we even have the  time  to consider new medical cleaning services. The reality is that less than adequate  medical cleaning  will have a host of negative consequences for your facility. If your medical cleaning is slipping, it might be time to consider your options.

Day Porter Services Keep Your Facility Looking It’s Best Around the Clock After hours cleaning works for many facilities. Your evening  office janitorial service  gets their work done when the building is quiet and most people have gone home. The morning rolls around and you have a fresh, clean building to greet you.  The entryway sparkles as you make your way into the building, the restrooms look clean and smell fresh with well stocked supplies and empty trash cans. No coffee cups litter the reception area, no waste cans near filled to the top, no salt, snow or water cling to the entry mats. It is great but as a Facility Manager, you are acutely aware of how little time it can take for a busy day to start to undo the hard work of your nightly office cleaners.  In especially busy buildings with high traffic, sometimes a nightly janitorial service just isn’t enough. Sure the deep cleaning is best done at night but could you benefit from a day cleaning person or...

Often when you walk into a facility, the first thing you notice is the floors. This is because they stretch out in front of you, an unbroken expanse of either clean and well-maintained flooring or grimy, dull flooring, tiling or carpet that has seen better days. Well-maintained floors are an integral part of your building and the overall image of your facility. Scuffed, dull and grimy floors or stained and worn carpet can signal to customers, employees, tenants, and visitors a cumulative lack of satisfactory maintenance. While poorly cleaned flooring can leave a poor first impression, clean and shiny floors or fresh, spotless carpet also sends a message and can stand as a sign of the overall quality of both your facility and your business. Clean, well-maintained flooring can elevate your professional image and provide a safe, healthy environment for anyone that enters your building. Still, as a Facility Manager, you must balance keeping your facility optimally maintained AND keeping...
