Regulations differ depending on your business segment and location. For example, an educational facility might be required to provide unscented hand soap, while a fitness center may be able to use any scent it chooses.
Additionally, restaurant requirements may vary between locations, such as New York and Texas. For example, many states are banning products such as plastic bags and those that use PFAS.

Improved Safety
Cleaning is a critical part of running a business, but it can also be a dangerous one. This program will help train your staff on important safety concerns, including the proper PPE to use while cleaning
Workplace injuries can be very costly – from worker’s compensation claims to higher turnover rates. Knowing the correct PPE is one simple training tool our team can provide to help reduce the potential for workplace injuries.
Chemical safety is another important consideration in training. For example, chemicals should never be mixed as they can create dangerous vapors. Ensuring the proper dilution ratio is also a key safety factor when working with chemicals.
Our team can recommend the right tools to assist with all your safety needs to help maintain a safe environment for both staff and customers. We can also help establish cleaning protocols that incorporate safe cleaning practices.
Increased Customer Confidence
Maintaining clean facilities is an essential factor in retaining customers. For example, customers who experience dirty restrooms are likely to believe that the other parts of your facility are also unclean. They will be unlikely to return to your facility and may even leave negative reviews.
Clean facilities can generate more business. Indeed, 60% of Americans say they are more likely to spend more at a business that maintains clean restrooms. By ensuring that your facility is properly cleaned and disinfected, you can build customer confidence in your business.
Our team can help identify any potential problem areas as well as recommend the appropriate cleaning protocols to help you build customer confidence.
Enhanced Employee and Guest Wellness
When facilities are properly cleaned and disinfected, it prevents germs from spreading. This will help keep your staff healthy meaning less sick days and more time spent doing their jobs.
Our team can recommend the appropriate chemicals and cleaning protocols to ensure proper disinfection.
Increased Janitorial Staff Productivity
It’s important to ensure that staff are using their time in the most efficient ways. If your staff aren’t using the right tools or following the right protocols, they may end up needing to do a job twice to ensure proper completion.
Our team can recommend the appropriate tools to get the job done right the first time, as well as establish cleaning protocols to increase your efficiency.
Improved Cost Control
Using the right tools and following cleaning protocols can also help you control costs. Installing a dilution control system, for example, ensures that product is not wasted by preventing under-dilution.
