A commercial cleaning company that offers complete property maintenance offers so much more than cleaning.

Here are three services that Kleenway customers appreciate because when they need these tasks done, they know they can trust that they will be delivered with expertise, and executed with the quality standards for health, safety, and environmental management.

Window cleaning

Not only are clean windows essential to making a good first impression, they create a more comfortable atmosphere inside your building(s) by allowing in more natural light. Did you know that dirty windows can reduce the amount of natural light by around 40 percent? This means that those streaks and grit are actually costing money in terms of lighting and heating, especially in the city where windows accumulate dirt, pollen, dust, oil, spider webs, bird droppings, and other debris that can give them a grubby appearance and block out natural light.

There are other reasons that window cleaning is important. If your commercial building is constructed using concrete, then the minerals used in the manufacture of concrete, such as calcium, can leach out of the walls over time and slowly streak down the wall staining windows along the way. Ensuring that you have a regular commercial cleaning service keeps windows free of these mineral deposits by removing them before they become permanently ingrained in the glass.

What to look for when selecting window cleaning services?

Anyone can equipment themselves with a squeegee and a bucket in order to set up a window cleaning services. Unfortunately, the risks involved in window cleaning are high. Hiring a company that is insured with liability insurance and follows the standards required by occupational workplace safety laws is critical. This assures you that the company not only cares for your building maintenance, but also for the safety of their employees.

You also want to ask about the cleaning products and methods being used. Are they the right products to completely remove dirt and debris from your windows safely, and do they meet recommended environmental standards?

Waste audits

As we all know, waste audits are extremely beneficial in both reducing waste that is going to landfill, and educating those working in your facility about their own habits. A waste audit is a method for analyzing what is being put into your facility’s waste stream. The goal of a waste audit is to discover what types and quantities of waste (paper, plastic, food etc.) you produce within a given timeframe—usually a week. Auditing also measures how much waste is recycled versus thrown out.

Waste audits are a service you may require once or twice a year, depending on the purpose for the audit.

Beyond the gathering of information, waste audits typically result in substantial savings. For example, it’s not always obvious what is being throw out (and in what quantity). A waste audit identifies the kinds of recyclables that can be diverted from landfills, or resold. Some of the most common include scrap metal, aluminum cans, ink cartridges, and electronics.

A waste audit is also necessary if your facility is considering undertaking LEED. Once you’ve achieve a certain level in LEED (e.g., Platinum), an annual waste audit is required to validate your facility’s purchasing and waste diversion practices, and keep your overall score at the Platinum level.

Waste audits are also required if you are looking for TRUE (Total Resource Use and Efficiency) certification (https://true.gbci.org/true-program-zero-waste-certification). TRUE is a comprehensive zero waste certification program recognizing facilities for minimizing resource consumption, preventing waste and redesigning material life cycles so that all residual materials are reused in a closed loop.

Speciality events prep and set up

Once COVID is behind us, there will be events and gatherings once more! Whether you are holding a grand opening; hosting a fundraising, sports or music event; or throwing a staff party, there is a lot to prepare when you consider pre-event cleaning, cleaning during the event, and post-event clean up.

A commercial cleaning and janitorial services company such as Kleenway will come to your facility first to determine the level of pre-cleaning prior to the scheduled event. This includes deep cleaning services in the event areas as well as specific cleaning of rugs, floors and furniture. We’ll also inspect and plan restroom facilities so that they are clean at the beginning of the event.

Proper clean-up is an equally important part of the services, especially for facilities re-opening post pandemic. By the next work day, or morning, your facility is back to its original function, clean, safe and sanitized.
