Cleaning Tips For A Professional Office Space

Posted on April 15, 2017February 7, 2022 by admin

In any business office space, it is important that you keep the area clean and professional-looking. A clean office will not only give a good working environment for the employees; it can appeal to clients and customers as well. This can certainly be difficult without a strategy in place, but there are a number of cleaning tips that you can follow to assist in keeping the office looking great all the time.

1. Filing system – Having things placed in the correct location will endure that clutter is kept to a minimum. Because a lot of work is usually done on the computer, paper documents can easily be scanned, which limits the amount of space needed for these documents.

Pressure Washers Effective, Fun to Use

Posted on September 30, 2016 by admin

Pressure Washers Have Lots of Uses

You get such dramatic and quick results from using pressure washers that you may not realize they are actually fun to use. You may be begging to clean your neighbors’ siding, driveways and cars once you’ve finished your own. You can rent or buy a pressure washer to clean nearly any outdoor item. Pressure washers, whether electric motors or gas engines power them, run a pump that pressurizes the water from your garden hose to 1,000 pounds or more, then forces it out through a spray wand.

When it comes to squeegees, there are huge differences in quality available. Since this is probably the most crucial tool of all, you should concentrate on getting a good one, not like the ones you find at petrol stations. Recommended brands are Unger Ettore or Sorbo. Wagtail is also a good brand and it’s Australian, but the swiveling handle takes a little more getting used to. Good quality squeegees will usually come assembled from three pieces. The handle, the channel and the piece of rubber supported by the channel. The rubber can be turned over when it gets old, and then replaced when both sides have worn out. (Window cleaners usually have their favorite brand of rubber, but I don’t think it makes a big difference.) Sizes can range from 4 inches to 24 inches, but the most commonly used is the 14-inch squeegee. Continue reading “Proper Equipment Needed for Window Cleaning”
