Living a healthy lifestyle includes living in a clean environment.
Unfortunately, many of the commonly used commercial cleaning products that are available are made of chemicals that can cause or exacerbate illness in humans. In addition, these products can negatively impact the environment. Fortunately, environmentally friendly ingredients can also be used as effective cleaning products. Two of the most common green ingredients used for cleaning are baking soda and vinegar. These two things can be used separately, together, or mixed with other natural products and are a healthier, less toxic way to clean the home. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a mild alkali that not only cleans but also deodorizes and is a gentle abrasive. Vinegar is an acid that is an effective, non-toxic alternative to popular cleaners, including bleach. It deodorizes and is often used for the removal of stains, mould, and rust.
Laundry
* Use a half-cup of baking soda along with liquid detergent at the beginning of the wash cycle for a brighter load of laundry.
* Sprinkle baking soda onto the bottom of clothes hampers to subdue stinky odors.
* Socks can get dingy and stained, as can gym clothing. To help these items look fresher, people should soak them in a pot of boiling water that's had a cup of distilled white vinegar added.
* Remove scuff marks and restore shine to purses and shoes by wiping them down with white vinegar.
* Sweat stains and scorch marks can also be rubbed away using a clean cloth and white vinegar.
* Reduce static cling and prevent lint from sticking to clothing by adding a half-cup of white vinegar to the washing machine during the wash cycle.

In the Bathroom
* Create a thick and non-toxic scrub to clean bathroom surfaces by stirring together a quarter-cup of baking soda, one tablespoon of liquid Castile soap or dish detergent, and vinegar. Mix until creamy, then use.
* A half-cup of baking soda can be used for scrubbing toilets clean. Another option is to pour a cup of diluted white vinegar into the toilet, allow it to soak overnight, then scrub.
* Minerals can clog up all or part of -and reduce their flow. Remove this build-up by soaking the shower-head in a mixture of a half-cup vinegar and one quart of water for at least 15 minutes.
* Cleanse soap residue from loofahs by soaking them for 24 hours in equal parts vinegar and water.
* Rub down sink fixtures with a paste made of vinegar and salt to remove lime build-up.

Food
* Use baking soda to wash produce in place of a commercial produce wash. Two tablespoons of distilled vinegar mixed with one pint of water will also effectively clean and remove pesticides from fruits and veggies.
* When added to eggs, baking soda makes omelets fluffier. Just add a half-teaspoon per three eggs.
* Remove the bitterness from freshly brewed iced tea and prevent cloudiness by adding a pinch of baking soda per gallon.
* Tenderize meat and kill bacteria by marinating the meat in vinegar; balsamic vinegar will also lend a nice flavor. Meat should marinate for up to 24 hours in a quarter-cup of vinegar and herbs before cooking.
* Eggs are prone to cracking as they boil. To help keep them intact and to make the eggs easier to peel, add one tablespoon of white vinegar for every quart of water.
* Don't waste salad dressing or mayonnaise that's left at the bottom of the jar. Shaking a few drops of vinegar into the jar will help it come out easier.
* Help cheese last longer by wrapping it in a vinegar-soaked cloth or paper towel to prevent mold. Place the wrapped cheese in a container that's airtight and store in the refrigerator
* To get the brightest, streak-free colors when dying Easter eggs, combine one teaspoon of vinegar with a half-cup of hot water along with food coloring.

* Baking soda can be used to clean pots and pans that have baked-on residue. To do that, sprinkle the surface generously with baking soda, then let it soak roughly 15 minutes in dish detergent and hot water.
* Pour baking soda over the flames of a grease fire until it is extinguished.
* Clean and freshen the dishwasher or coffeepot by running a cycle using only baking soda. Running vinegar through both machines on a monthly basis is another way to keep them clean and free of residue.

Proper equipment, adequate air movement and a measure of patience can speed up the drying process

It’s no secret carpets require regularly scheduled cleaning to maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan. But sometimes carpet cleaning programs overlook the importance of drying carpets after cleaning them. And carpets that remain damp for too long can attract more dirt, harbor unpleasant odors, or — even worse — create a breeding ground for mold.

“Drying the carpet is as important as cleaning the carpet,” says John Poole, a consultant with the American Institute of Cleaning Science in Atlanta, Georgia. “If you leave the carpet wet, you’ll set off mold and mildew, so it’s critical to clean and dry it thoroughly.”

Toward this end, the first step is to identify what type of carpet the staff is cleaning.

“You need to understand that carpet because the wrong chemical or system can damage it,” says Poole. To avoid a possible violation of the carpet warranty, he suggests calling the manufacturer to determine the recommended maintenance schedule.

Soil level and climate will also factor into how the carpet is cleaned and dried. Some carpet care experts advocate hot water extraction for heavily soiled areas or deep cleanings, with low-moisture methods, such as encapsulation, used on an interim basis to maintain the carpet.

“Step one is to extract the maximum moisture using a machine vetted by The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI),” says Allen Rathey, president of The Healthy Facilities Institute, Boise, Idaho. “Carpet extraction equipment awarded the CRI Seal of Approval is designed to remove most of the moisture that results from a wet cleaning process.”

While low-moisture carpet cleaning procedures will result in dry times that are faster than extraction, the techniques and equipment used to speed up the drying process are essentially the same.

Air Power
Once carpets have been cleaned, the best way to speed up the drying process is to introduce and circulate air.

“All moisture has to wick,” notes Bill Yeadon, senior instructor at Jon-Don Inc., Roselle, Illinois. “We can make wicking go faster anytime we move air across the surface of the carpet.”

This can be as simple as opening a window or a door — if weather permits.

“Ventilate with fresh air when the outdoor air is dryer than indoors, and when building security systems or other protocols permit,” says Rathey. “Directing outdoor air into and out of the structure will enable faster drying.”

Additionally, the use of air movers and HVAC systems can cut dry times significantly — especially when used in tandem.

“Air conditioning is probably the best dehumidifier we have, because its purpose is to pull the moisture out of the air,” says Yeadon.

When cleaning carpets in the evening hours, Poole recommends leaving fans and HVAC on overnight whenever possible. And those times when it’s not hot enough to turn on the air conditioning or cold enough to turn on the heat, or when outdoor air is not an option, custodians may have to rely solely on air movers.

“If it has been raining and/or the outdoor ambient air is damp, or if ventilation is not appropriate, fans should be used to direct drier air over and through the carpet,” notes Rathey. “Also, fans suffice for situations when carpet is properly extracted and interior relative humidity is low enough that fan-drying — perhaps coupled with air conditioning or central heat and (with care) space heaters — will dry the carpet within several hours.”

According to Rathey, properly cleaned and extracted carpets should dry within a few hours. Even in the most extreme situations, carpets should be dry within 12 to 24 hours. It just comes down to the number of fans and their placement, which depend on ambient air conditions and the fan’s capacity.

As a rule of thumb, when drying carpet in a hallway, Poole recommends placing air movers on opposite ends of the area immediately after extraction. For a room measuring approximately 25 by 25 feet, Yeadon suggests two to three standard fans, pointing toward the middle of the room, or one fan that pushes air out in a 360-degree circle positioned in the center of the room.

7 REASONS YOU NEED ENTRANCE MATS AT EVERY DOOR
DECEMBER 21, 2013
BY JEFF HIERS
Hiring professional cleaners to ensure that your facility stays clean is a smart move, but you also need to know various ways in which you can help maintain the cleanliness in your establishment. This is where entrance mats come in. These mats (also known as walk off mats) come in many different shapes and sizes. If you want your building to stay clean, you need to ensure that there’s an entrance mat at every door.
ADVANTAGES OF USING ENTRANCE MATS
1) You can’t ask people to take off their shoes.
According to studies by ISSA (the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association), about 80% of all the contaminants affecting any facility comes from the shoes of people in the building. Now you can’t exactly ask your visitors to take off their shoes before they go in any room of the building. By having entrance mats at every door, you ensure that they at least have a way to wipe their shoes before entering and/or walk off some of the debris.
2) Entrance mats guard your establishment from added dust and mud.
You may not be able to control what kind of dust and mud goes in but having an entrance mat by the door is a way to guard it from the unnecessary. Say for instance the person came from outside where it’s extra dusty. Having an entrance mat allows that person to remove some of that excess dust so that it won’t go inside your building.
3) You don’t have to worry about rain.
Rain is a nightmare for those trying to keep a certain area clean, because with rain comes wet shoes and muddy floors. If you have an entrance mat welcoming each guest at every doorway, you don’t have to worry about rain and getting your floors all muddy. They can simply wipe their shoes clean and dry before entering.
4) It can be useful and decorative at the same time.
What some people forget is that doormats don’t have to be plain and ugly. You can be as decorative as you want to be, matching the entrance mat with the decors of your establishment or office or giving your visitors a sneak peek of what they can expect inside. You can even use it as a branding tool by having your logo or company name imprinted on the mat.
5) Its a way to minimize slip hazards.
According to the National Floor Safety Institute in this paper, “more than 3 million food service employees and over 1 million guests are injured annually as a result of restaurant slips and falls.” Clearly, slipping is a danger that’s quite common. With an entrance mat at every doorstep however, you can easily minimize the risk of people slipping as they navigate their way into your building.
6) You can prevent floor damage.
With well-placed entrance mats, you can also prevent interior floor damage by protecting your floor surfaces. It’s not just the people that you protect from accidents, you protect your facility as well.
7) It can help you with bacteria regulation.
Some doormats can actually be infused with microbe-killing powers that can help you with bacteria regulation. So not only do you keep your rooms clean as far as your eyes can see, you also keep them clean even on a microorganism level.

Every home is prone to the occasional stains. It's inevitable. But it's all about how you deal with the stain afterwards that matters. Here's our expert-approved method, from Awe Trends Cleaning, on how to clean carpets that have common dried-on stains, like wine, gravy, mud, pet messes, and more.
1. Take two empty spray bottles, and fill one with cold water. In the other, mix 1/4 teaspoon mild dishwashing liquid and 1 cup warm water.
2. Spray the detergent solution onto an absorbent cloth (not the carpet — you don't want to wet it too much), and dab (don't rub!) it on the spot. As the stain dissolves, blot with a clean section of cloth. Keep applying and blotting this way until the stain is gone.
3. Spray another cloth with the cold water, and use it to rinse the detergent solution from the carpet, then blot again with a dry cloth.
4. Pile a stack of paper towels on the spot, and place a heavy object on top. Overnight, the towels will soak up any residual stain deep in the carpet. In the morning, fluff the fibers with your fingers and allow to air-dry.
5. If the stain remains, try a more targeted approach based on the stain you're dealing with. We have solutions to and advice for the nastiest stains like lipstick. Just give us a call.

A CLEAN OFFICE SETS THE TONE FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES
Improving employee productivity has always been a concern for many employers, especially because the quality of work that you get from your employees is usually directly related to how productive they feel. This is why companies pay a lot of attention to compensation and benefits, as well as other ways to make their employees feel important and happy. What most employers don’t realize is that it can take something as simple as making sure you have a clean office & workplace to improve productivity and set the tone for your employees.
THE IMPORTANCE OF A FUNCTIONAL ENVIRONMENT
This is not to say that compensations and benefits don’t work, but making a few changes in their work area can lead to significant improvements. The fact is, our surroundings are actually quite important in making people thrive. Whatever you’re surrounded with can actually affect how you act and how you feel. This is the same for office workers. Elements in the office can affect how people work. One particular research shows that among work space features, there are those that stand out and actually affect employee productivity:
 Clean Office
 Decorative office
 Lighting
 Absence of noise in the office
 Close office floor plan
 Moderate room temperature and ventilation
This means that if your office is well-lit, well-ventilated, and more importantly, clean, then your employees will tend to be in a better and more productive mood. It’s as simple as that. In fact, the same research showed having all of these elements actually prevents work-related illnesses, absenteeism and employee turnover. A simple solution to complex problems! Another paper highlights that poor environmental conditions like a dirty and unorganized office can actually cause inefficiencies in worker productivity, reducing job satisfaction and even affecting the organization’s financial well-being.
A CLEAN OFFICE — LEAVING IT TO THE PROFESSIONALS
Clearly, the importance of having a well-organized and clean office could not be stressed enough. And because this is of such huge importance, it needs to be a priority for business owners and managers. However, you have better things to do and you need to concentrate on running your business. By hiring a professional janitorial service company, you’re leaving the cleaning to those who actually know what they’re doing based on years and years of experience. They will also have the technology and expertise needed to ensure a clean office facility.

Hidden Costs of In-house Cleaning
With the need to cut down costs and operate within tight budgets, organisations are forced to the in-house operation of some of their activities one of which is cleaning. However, operating an in-house janitorial services comes with its attending costs. below are a few.
1. Training
Organisations do need to realise that, just as training is critical for an profession, so is cleaning. Employees designated to carry out janitorial services with organisations will some sorts of training and this comes at a cost.
2. Supervision
After the dawn of training comes supervision. supposed janitors will need frequent supervision in efforts to ensure that, they provide top-notch janitorial services. this also wastes the very first productive hours of the supervisor who might need to focus on some other important things.
3. Handling of chemicals, equipment and other supplies
Improper handling of chemicals by in-house janitors can lead to serious employee injuries raising concerns for their safety. Likewise, equipment and other supplies have to proper handled to avoid frequent breakdown and disappearances respectively.
4. Institutional morale
An employer should first of all ask him/herself how the working atmosphere will should an employee who has been employed to work at the front desk be asked to be part of the cleaning team. Morale will definitely decrease and employees will of course feel the organisation does not value their worth and what they do.

With these said, having an in-house janitorial service in an organisation has long standing costs and much more expensive as compared to getting the professionals.
in any case, be sure to weigh the pros and cons of your choice and do feel free to contact use for our proposal at no charge.
