How to Choose the Right Markham, Vaughan and Toronto Commercial Janitorial Service for Your Business

Janitorial Service TorontoFinding the right janitorial service is a very important decision for your business. It’s important to ask the right questions when you are speaking with prospective commercial cleaning companies. Maintaining a sanitary and clean work environment is essential to the success of your business.

First impressions are extremely important in business and a messy or dirty building can instantly create a negative experience for customers, tenants and employees. Having clean spaces will create an instant positive reaction and will improve your building’s appearance and hygiene.

Let’s be honest, it can be hard to maintain a clean building with so many other tasks on your daily to-do list. Many companies find it to be more cost effective to hire an outside commercial cleaning company to handle their ongoing and seasonal cleaning needs instead of adding a full-time janitor to their payroll. There are many commercial cleaning companies throughout Toronto, Vaughan, Markham and Mississauga that offer janitorial services. Finding the right janitorial service for your business can not only keep your workplace clean, it can save your company a lot of money and stress.

Outsourcing your cleaning needs to a Vaughan, Markham cleaning company will allow your employees the ability to focus on their actual jobs. Cleaning chemicals can be hazardous when they are not used properly. An experienced commercial cleaning company will be trained and certified to use these chemicals, products and equipment needed to clean your space properly. This will not only ensure the job is done properly but will protect you and your staff from any unfortunate hazards involving cleaning products.

Ideally, you will want to hire a janitorial company that utilizes the right equipment and tools to do the job properly. Also, experience in office space cleaning is a key thing to seek in a janitorial company. You’ll want a partner who operates with quiet cleaning equipment, allowing your business to function as usual while the cleaning is taking place during the daytime and/or the night time. Professionalism is a must-have for any janitorial cleaning service you hire. You need your workplace cleaned to the highest standard in a timely fashion. An experienced commercial cleaning company will provide a level of professionalism that you and your business can count on. A clean building is essential to your business so you need your cleaning company to have a strong attention to detail, allowing you and your team the ability to focus on your day-to-day tasks. Any experienced janitorial company should be able to quickly provide you with a list of references. It’s important to ask and verify the work of any cleaning company that you are thinking about hiring.

THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND CLEANLINESS

Office Cleaning Toronto : Janitorial Services Toronto & Vaughan

Psychology is the study of the mind and its behaviour, how we think and feel.  So what does psychology have to do, you ask, with cleanliness and State Building Maintenance Limited?  We all dread coming home from work when we know we have to face the dirty dishes that we’ve left in the sink and we can easily identify as to how satisfied we feel when our homes are acceptably clean. So too when arriving at your workplace, you shouldn’t be seeing dirty dishes in the sink, so to speak. We also know, don’t we, that a clean and organized home can improve our mood, decrease our stress and can even give us the energy to do a bit more work, we want this energy to carry over to your place of business. So State Building Maintenance Limited’s first order of business is to have your customer’s and staff’s first reaction be a positive one when they walk into your building.  Ask yourself how you, a business owner, would react when opening an office’s front door that is covered with marks and has a sticky handle.  What one first observes is lasting.  In our cleaning company State Building Maintenance Limited will not settle for anything less but a positive first impression. No matter what product or service your company is selling, an unfavorable first look can affect your bottom line.  We are all taught to not judge too quickly, that there must be second chances, but that doesn’t always happen when a customer’s first thoughts are negative because of inadequate office cleaning.

State Building Maintenance Limited wants your clients and staff to look favourably upon your company, to see glistening windows, spot free floors, we want your customers to be able to walk up to a receptionist’s desk that is free from smudges, notice that the chairs that they are about to sit on are free from grime and we definitely don’t want your customers coming out of your washroom facilities with a look of disgust.  And that look of disgust can happen.  So it is State Building Maintenance Limited’s job to support your business and provide professional office cleaning services.  You may have hired a reputable decorator and purchased eye catching furniture for your office/building but that is not what will first catch the eye of your customers.  What a customer first sees, and we don’t want it to be grime, has great impact, it will create that first impression of who you are.  It can deter them from coming back for that second meeting, that second purchase, they may not give you a second chance.  In starting a new business you would no more open the doors to the public when your office, condominium, manufacturing plant or store hasn’t had an initial clean, nor would you set up a website that is slow running or difficult to navigate, so why would you not chose to run your established company without using every advantage and that is what State Building Maintenance Limited offers, that added advantage.

As it is with that first look when one enters a building, it is also that first disgusting smell that can assail your customers and effect their perception of your business. Unpleasant smells can be caused by dirty standing water, cleaning rags not changed regularly, garbage not removed daily, vents not vacuumed to allow for good air flow and not using effective disinfectants  Smell can be the deciding factor as to how a client perceives your company.

Our first and foremost job is to provide a healthy and safe environment, we work with disinfecting products and steam to kill germs, use up-to-date and effective cleaning tools, make sure your floors are clean and slip free and so forth.  Please check out our website, as WE DO IT ALL.  But we have often found that dirt begets dirt, people are less inclined to be careful when mess is not handled immediately. So sometimes it as simple as hiring our Porter Services for your washrooms during busy hours.   How many times have you looked with dismay at overflowing garbage cans, dripping wet counters and bemoaned the lack of deodorizes.  It all plays into your customer’s psyche.

We know that in many cases cleaning companies are hired because of what they are charging, often the lowest priced quote wins out, but we want to encourage businesses to look at the true “value of clean”, how the psychology behind cleanliness effects your business and not just go by price alone.    State Building Maintenance Limited offers excellent value for money and provides a safe, clean environment but there is also great value when clients arrive at your place of business and leave with no negative impressions and utter no complaints.  We believe that your workplace’s cleanliness plays an important part in bringing in new business.

So please call State Building Maintenance Limited for a free quote at 416-247-1290 or email us at info@sbml.ca

APPLYING DE-ICERS AS A SAFETY MEASURE

Winter brings along with it many cleaning concerns, for your staff and visitors, hazardous areas that they must navigate.  An indispensable product that State Building Maintenance Limited will utilize during our winter months is ice melting crystals if your company requests it as part of our Janitorial Services.  So whether you call them de-icers, anti-icers or ice melting granules, they are our workhorse when dealing with slippery driveways, sidewalks and entrances.

There are a number of products that can be used to stop ice from forming.  On areas such as large parking lots, a spray, by truck, is the way most ice melting products are put down before a forecasted snowfall or an ice storm.  For smaller areas, such as on sidewalks, crystals are usually spread about by using a spreader or by hand.  If spread just before the ice or snow arrives these crystals will prevent ice from building up.  Remember, more is not always better, sprinkle just what you need.  Some de-icers are coloured so that you can see where you have spread these granules.  These de-icers will not handle the melting of deep snow from a major snowfall.  You would need to shovel off the snow and then scatter the crystals on your walks to melt what little is remaining.

Our southern Ontario temperatures do often hit minus -15 degrees Celsius or lower so our company generally uses a high performance snow and ice melting product that works with very low temperatures. As slush/moisture is created by these de-icer products it is advisable to shovel this off your sidewalks if you can before another freeze happens.  You would then re-apply the de-icer.   If we provide Porter and Nightly Cleaning Services / Janitorial Services we can offer this service twice a day if needed.  Our product is a bit more expensive than some products and is an additional cost but State Building Maintenance Limited doesn’t want to take any chances with your safety.  But if you have another product in mind we will gladly work with your preference.

There are a number of different chemicals that we can supply, each with their own pros and cons.  We can purchase anything from rock salt to calcium chloride and even in a pinch sand or kitty litter.  There are some products that are even advertised as safe for pets so as to not irritate their paws.

The pros are obvious, the melting of ice and the added grip from the crystals when walking.  But depending on your choice of crystal they can damage concrete, be harmful to your pets and your lawns if too much is used and these products can even rust iron or steal.  So we just want to, once again, emphasis that more it not always better.  Having said that, State Building Maintenance Limited wants your staff and visitors to remain safe during out blustery winter months, that is the bottom line. So without hesitation we recommend that these products be used as required.

There have been some winters where the product we generally use has been in short supply, so if you would like our company to spread these de-icers when the evening cleaning or when janitorial services are completed, please let us know so that we can stock up for your company.

State Building Maintenance Limited is a Full Service Cleaning and Janitorial company that will be only too happy to be of service to you.  We will set up a cleaning program of your choice and within your budget, whether if for a bi-weekly, daily or even a yearly clean-up. WE DO IT ALL!  So please call us at 416-247-1290 or email us at info@sbml.ca.
