It’s Time to Bring In the Cleaners

Posted on by

Federal politics in Australia is in ugly disarray these days. Dirty laundry is being aired ad nauseam, there’s trash talk by the bucket load, muckraking, mudslinging, political careers dishevelled, leadership spills and most recently a political assassination resulting in blood on the floor… yet again! Sadly, Canberra is in an utter mess.

What do we have to do to bring order to this place? To end these toxic times?

As a cleaner with considerable experience in the cleaning industry, it is my humble opinion that we need to begin by throwing out the political garbage. To regain trust in our political institutions, we need to reset the political landscape and this can only be done by bringing on an election and wiping clean the slate.

 

Cleaners Controlling Infection in the Workplace

Posted on by

Our cleaners are continually confronted with varying degrees of biohazards and play a major role in infection control in the commercial properties we clean. This applies not just to our customers in the medical industry but also includes our customers in the hospitality industry and through to our commercial office customers.

The level of bugs and germs we encounter relies heavily on the particular cleaning task we are performing. Coughs, sneezing or the neglect of washing hands thoroughly can cause the spread of viruses and bacteria throughout the workplace. When cleaning medical facilities or washrooms in any establishment, our staff are frequently exposed to and trained to manage Biological Hazards in the form of body fluids such as blood, vomit, urine or faeces and discarded needles.

It is our practice to pay special attention to areas that people touch which spread those dastardly bugs and germs throughout the workplace. Such as cleaning in the toilet – the flushers; toilet seats, handles, taps, light switches. It’s by focusing on the detail that our cleaners can maintain a clean and healthy working environment for our customers.

Our cleaning staff, armed with protective gloves for their own personal protection, are supplied with the appropriate cleaning equipment (colour coded to minimise cross contamination), disinfectants (Safety Data Sheets are provided) and training to control and eliminate the spread of viruses and bacteria.

Finally, in the interests of personal protection and hygiene, we recommend to our customers that they encourage their staff to practice good hygiene by washing hands thoroughly, ideally with a sanitising gel.

Cleaning Your Business With Formula One Precision

Posted on by

Every business manager aspires for their business to run smoothly, be managed professionally and to achieve their desired success. To have all aspects of their business work in unison to deliver a product; a vision; a service that equates to excellence.

None of this is possible without the proper expertise and know how. One must rely on all the skills found throughout the organisation to bring about the best results for the company. Of course, should any of the required skills be lacking, the void can be filled by either selective recruitment or by seeking out a business that is highly qualified in that particular area and have them seamlessly fulfil the role.

Let’s think of a Formula 1 Grand Prix Team, where members of the team perform very different but equally pivotal rolls. Where no member of the team is more important than the other. Sure, the driver stands on the podium at the end of the race to receive the accolades from the fans but without the F1 team that surrounds him that spot on the podium would be out of his reach.

The drivers ultimate success relies on his team.

So how does cleaning your business relate to F1 and your ultimate success? I’ll get to that shortly.

First, let’s presume you’re the Team Manager of a Formula One Team. A highly competitive sport. How would you manage to achieve success? My guess is you’ll employ those you can be confident will give you the best possible results. You’ll hire the best Engineers to design a vehicle that can make your vehicle competitive. Seek out highly trained and experienced Mechanics to maintain the vehicle to its optimum performance. Also, entice the best F1 Driver who can use his skills to steer your F1 Team to victory.

As a Team Manager you’ve done well, hired the best, success is assured. Only one thing, where’s your Pit Crew. At scheduled pit stops the team’s Pit Crew services the car as swiftly as possible, completing a number of different services meticulously, with precision.

The Pit Crew is critical to performance and success.

Now I’ve reached the nub. I consider cleaners of your business as forming an important part of your Pit Crew.

Believe it or not, providing a clean working environment will benefit your business in reaching its goals. Providing your staff with a pleasant place to work will improve company morale, productivity and excellence. It will also heighten your image in the eyes of your valued clients.

So, when next looking for experienced and professional cleaners to clean your business, remember to think of them as part of your Pit Crew. Playing a pivotal role in keeping you and your Team on track to achieving the ultimate goal.
