Break Room Fridge Cleaning | Quad Cities

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 20:14:06 GMT

If your businesses break room frige is not being cleaned correctly and consistently, it can become a breeding ground for germs. It is important to make sure that your break room fridge is being correctly cleaned, within the correct timelines. This can be quite the undertaking, which is why we recommend hiring a professional cleaning company. We have formulated the perfect Break Room Cleaning Checklist for businesses who schedule out employees to clean the break room.

Break rooms can be the dirtiest place in an office space following restrooms. If the fridge, tables, and microwaves are not being cleaned correctly, this can lead to unwanted bacteria and germs. However, break room refrigerators are one of the biggest problems. From spills, to crumbs, to expired food that sits for WAY too long, this is an appliance you want to make sure you're paying extra attention to. Let's go over some tips from the professional at Clean Finish to ensure that your fridge is getting the best possible cleaning:

Daily check for expired food.

Leftover food, not only is a breeding ground for germs and bacteria, but also can cause a stink in your office break room. We recommend letting employees know to take all food home at the end of their shift or to label it. Food can be labled with color stickers or kraft tape with a written date. Creating a rule, such as "All food left in the fridge at the end of the day will be thrown out unless labeled otherwise."

Weekly deep clean.

Wiping down of all exterior appliances should be done daily, however a deep sanitize washing of the refrigefrator should be done weekly. Spills, crumbs, and other residue can build up to a sticky situation if not cleaned regularly.

To effectively clean the break room fridge , remove all food and drink items. Wash all removable shelves and drawers with hot water and a mild dish soap. It is important to let the shelves warm up, prior to exposing to hot water, to avoid cracking. Use a non-scratch sponge to scrub off sticky residue. Create a gentle cleaning solution with water and vinegar or water and baking soda for the interior. Give the interior of the refrigerator a good wipe-down with a cloth or paper towels.

Monthly, take a vacuum to the coils located on the backside of your refrigerater. Staying on top of fridge cleanliness will not only help with bad smells and health in your office, but will also expand the lifespan of your refrigerator.

Successful Client Relationships for Banks & Financial Centers | Bank Cleaning | Quad Cities

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 19:16:24 GMT

In a recent survey, we asked local banks, credit unions, and other various financial centers in the Quad Cities what their number one complaint would be with cleaning companies . For the most part, they all responded with the fact that they feel that they have to babysit and clean up after their cleaning companies.

At Clean Finish, we understand that client relationship is a bank's, credit union's, and financial center's main focus . Successful client relationships start with a company's professional image. A professional image begins with presenting a good first impression to potential clients. Studies show that having a professional cleaning company clean a business projects a first-class image to consumers. Financial institutions must have a first-class image as potential clients are looking to be able to fully trust you with their finances.

Once a good first impression is established, that is when you can start to build a successful relationship with your prospective client. If there are stains in your carpeting, or you have a messy lobby with popcorn and trash all over the furnishings, floors, and tables, your prospective client is quickly going to lose trust in you. Not only that, but when your managers and bank tellers have to focus their attention on the daily cleaning, they are taking their attention off of forming those valuable relationships.

At Clean Finish, we understand the pains and goals as a financial institution and/or bank in Bettendorf, Davenport, Moline, East Moline, Rock Island, and surrounding areas. When it comes to cleaning, bank's require different skills and protocols. We have outlined a few complaints, when it comes to commercial bank cleaning companies, that we have gathered from speaking to bank managers in the area. We address how Clean Finish takes care of these issues:

Bank Cleaning Concerns

Many bank cleaning companies treat bank cleaning as any other office space cleaning. This is where they go wrong. There are a few key distinctions that set a bank and financial institution apart from other office spaces, when it comes to cleaning.

Carpets. Because, banks and financial institutions experience more foot traffic than other office spaces, carpeting becomes dirty and worn much faster. Many banks have a self-help coffee and snack station. This causes coffee stains and crumbs that take time and effort to get out. Clean Finish addresses this problem with commercial grade cleaning products that can stand up to any level of foot traffic, quiet machines (to not disturb the daily functions), along with cleaning banks at night. We recommend daily vacuuming and monthly professional carpet cleaning or spot cleaning.

Trust. Due to the fact that banks and financial institutions are considered high-security businesses, trust is valuable when it comes to outsourcing to contractors. Clean Finish specializes in high security contracts that are backed by our company being licensed, insured, and bonded. All of our cleaning technicians are background checked upon hire to ensure that you have the BEST possible team cleaning your business.

Varied Flooring. Banks and financial centers not only have carpet, but can have various other types of flooring as well. Clean Finish specializes in all types of flooring and will create a customized cleaning plan to ensure that every part of your facility is cleaned correctly and up to the highest standards.

These are just a few ways that banks require a professional bank cleaning service. View more bank cleaning requirements by downloading our Bank Cleaning Checklist here . If these are not being done, or even not being done the correct way, it may be time to switch cleaning providers. Clean Finish has been serving banks and financial institutions throughout the Quad Cities for many years. You’ll receive the highest quality products and services, at the very best prices.
