How Often Should Your Office Janitorial Company Clean Cubicle Walls?

It’s normal for an office janitorial company to clean walls, floors, and windows, but quite often, cubicle walls get forgotten.

Over time, cubicle walls get scuffed up and unsightly.  If they are made of fabric, cubicle walls become a breeding ground for bacteria, germs, and viruses.

One thing you might not have thought of is dust mites.  People associate dust mites with germs that grow in your bedding where they thrive on consuming dead skin cells.

Dead dust mites, their body parts, and fecal matter are known to cause allergies, asthma, headaches, runny nose, trouble breathing, watery and itchy eyes, sneezing, and other immunological health problems. Read more

How To Help Your Building Janitorial Company Give You Pricing In A Format So You Can Compare Quotes

Have you ever had a stack of building janitorial company pricing quotes for one facility that look like they are each for completely different buildings?

How do you compare commercial cleaning companies if the wording and descriptions in their quotes don’t seem to have anything in common?

This is a real problem for facility managers when trying to get the best value for their dollar.

Do you go for the lowest price not understanding that it may not cover even the essential cleaning services you need?

Maybe you pick a premium-priced quote thinking you will get a more professional cleaning company… and later you find out that the company doesn’t even have experienced cleaning staff?

This is a common problem when the management doesn’t take care of its employees so there is a lot of employee turnover.  They can’t keep good employees, so their costs go up because they have to compensate for the mistakes of beginners. Read more

Janitorial Cleaning Services At The Okanagan Correctional Centre

Evergreen Building Maintenance was recently awarded the honour of working with the Okanagan Correctional Centre (OCC), the largest correctional facility in British Columbia, located north of Oliver on the Osoyoos Indian Band Reserve. This is an expansive contract, as the facility spans 300,000 square feet across 14.5 hectares (36 acres).

The 378-cell facility is a $200 million project that is part of BC Corrections’ second-phase of their capital expansion plan. When it’s completed, it will hold double its original capacity in B.C.’s interior. It also requires a deep trust of Evergreen’s trained and educated employees, as it’s a high-risk, high-security area that requires enhanced security clearance for all staff on the grounds. Read more
