Commercial Cleaning: Essential Services

Carpet Cleaning

Our Carpet Cleaning team members will use the most advanced non-toxic cleaning methods to thoroughly clean your carpets. We offers five different types of carpet care.

  • Soil Prevention – Proper mat installation and interior and external hard surface maintenance isolates and contains most of the soil that enters your building.
  • Routine vacuuming – is essential to remove the majority of dry soil that has been trapped in your carpets.
  • Routine Spots and Spills Removal – The earlier these spots are removed, the less likely it is that your carpet will be permanently stained.
  • Interim System Cleaning – This cleaning is for improving appearance and can delay or limit the need to Deep Cleaning. The carpets in high traffic areas, as well as the main laneways are cleaned.
  • Deep cleaning – A thorough carpet cleaning.

Regular cleaning will help prevent soil and dirt buildup that can damage carpets permanently and cause costly early replacement costs.

Floor Care

To maintain the original texture and shine of each type of hard surface flooring, different treatments are required. We will design a cleaning and maintenance plan that is non-toxic for your floors. Your floors will last longer and avoid premature replacement. They will also be slip-resistant which will increase the safety of your employees and customers.

Vinyl flooring is the most popular type of hard-surface flooring in offices. Vinyl flooring is available in sheets, squares and strips. It’s similar to laminate. It can either be glued down to the subfloor or left free-floating. It is easy to install and maintain. It comes in many colours and patterns.

All flooring materials, no matter how different they are, need to be cleaned and protected. Commercial vinyl flooring is often not protected and sealed after installation. The flooring will eventually wear out and become dull before you even notice.

Regular cleaning and preventative maintenance (such as sealing the floor) are essential to protecting your investment.

Window Cleaning

Glass will eventually become contaminated with various contaminants such as hard water and minerals (from sprinklers and building runoff), acid rain, and oxidation (from metal frames or screens). Hard water and minerals are the greatest threat to external windows.

Glass is porous and airborne pollutants may become trapped in it with time. Regular exterior window cleanings can help to solve these issues.

Our Window Care Professionals use their experience and non-toxic EcoLogo or Green Seal products to bring the sun into your office. You will have a brighter work space and a clear conscience knowing that harmful chemicals were not used. Find out more about and why you should hire commercial window cleaners.

Office Composting

We noticed that a lot of organic waste was generated in offices, and it was thrown into the trash. Because businesses do not have access to composting programs, organic waste is thrown in the garbage. We offers a “Office Compost Program”, a program that is available to all businesses.

As a participant in the Office Compost Program, you will receive a Green Bin for all of your organic wastes and compostable material. The same items you put in your Green Bin at home, can also be placed in the bin at the office. Included in this are all food scraps and coffee grinds. Also, tissue, paper towels, paper towel rolls, paper towels. And etc. The Office Care Technician will pick up these compostables every week and replace them with a clean, new Green Bin.

Total Office Care

We will create a customized package of services based on your needs. All your scheduled cleanings are included, as is carpet cleaning and window cleaning.

You don’t need to waste time searching for different services or companies to do your carpet cleaning, floor finishing, or seasonal window washing. You will no longer waste time obtaining quotes and scheduling service. Budgeting for big-ticket items is no longer necessary.

We can make your office the healthiest and cleanest possible. We clean everything, including the areas not visible. We only use the highest quality non-toxic products. We promise to clean your office at the same standard as we would expect our homes to be cleaned.

We can provide the best commercial cleaning services in East Tamaki, whether you need it daily, weekly or bi-weekly.

Why commercial cleaning is worth the investment

1. Cleanliness and organization are essential to helping employees perform their tasks more efficiently. Reduce germs at work to keep your team healthy. A study found that employees who are sick experience a 50% decrease in productivity.

2. A clean office reduces the risk of injury for employees, vendors, and visitors. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, slips, trips and falls are responsible for over 9 million emergency department visits every year.

3. Reduce absenteeism. Businesses lose 111 millions workdays every year due to flu. Dirt, germs and dust accumulation, as well as poor indoor air quality, all contribute to colds and the flu. They also cause viruses, asthma, and allergic reactions.

4. Professionalism: Potential clients and customers are less likely to conduct business with you if they arrive in a messy environment.

This will make your business look more professional to employees and customers. You’ll also save money on the upkeep of carpets and floors and replacing windows.

A more attractive office space is another benefit of having a productive staff. If your office is more attractive, new customers or clients will feel more at ease in it. They’ll be more willing to work with you. You will receive better quality work from more productive employees.
