MTO Janitorial offers tips for cleaning floors at your Prescott business

Everybody has floors! Most homes have at least two different types of flooring surfaces: carpeting and tile being the most common combination.The various flooring types also have very different cleaning needs. MTO Janitorial offers some tips for cleaning all kinds of floors at your Prescott business.

Carpet
Regularly vacuum carpet depending on how much floor traffic your office environment has. In busier places, carpets have to be vacuumed every day. Vacuuming helps remove dust and allergens that can lead to office-wide illness. Carpet also needs to be cleaned with a professional carpet cleaning machine to get the bacteria hiding under the thick fibers.

Hardwood
Sweeping often is honestly one of the best ways to clean hardwood floors. Using too much water or liquid cleaner can ruin your floors because wood is porous. Instead, to clean up those sticky spots and juice spills, use a liquid cleaner meant for hardwood floors.

Vinyl and Laminate
Similar to hardwood, you also want to be careful about the amount of water you use on your vinyl and laminate floors. These materials have seams that can allow excess water to seep underneath and loosen the adhesive. Excess moisture will cause vinyl flooring to peel and laminate flooring to expand. It’s bet to take care of them just by sweeping and lightly mopping them.

Tile
Be careful about what kind of tile you have before cleaning, since some tiles don’t do well with abrasive chemicals. Also, grout is not level with tile, so make sure to use a cleaning brush that can clean grout as well as tile.

Concrete
Believe it or not, concrete is actually somewhat porous as well! While concrete seems hard and impenetrable, it can absorb stains and dirt particles. To avoid a difficult cleaning situation, seal it with a concrete sealant. Then you can use a broom to easily sweep up debris.

Love your floors by learning the best ways to take care of them. The carpeting and floors at your Prescott business will last longer with proper cleaning.

MTO Janitorial talks about cleanliness in your Prescott restaurant's dining area

Americans love to eat, and they love to eat at restaurants. But customers are quickly turned off when any part of a restaurant appears unclean, not to mention the fact that disease-causing germs can lurk in even the cleanest looking restaurants. MTO Janitorial discusses cleanliness in your Prescott restaurant's dining area. Here are some things to consider:

People eat with their eyes. A spotless entryway and dining area give a customer the first impression of a restaurant’s quality. The parking lot should be pristine. Turn on all lights and open drapes or blinds before morning cleaning for the best view of things that need to be done. Look up at the air vents, ceiling tiles, lights and fans.  You will discover they often collect dust quickly. Check for dust and even cobwebs on the table bases and chair legs. Customers don’t want to see these things! Pull booths away from walls and thoroughly clean them.

• Germs hide in unexpected places. People often think of the restrooms and kitchen as the places in a restaurant most prone to germs. Surprisingly, the dining area harbors a shocking number of pathogens. Research has discovered that the average pepper shaker is coated with 11,000 bacteria! 

• Menus, particularly the plastic-coated ones, are actually the germiest items in a restaurant because they are handled so often by so many people. It makes sense. They are handled by the host, the customers and servers.

• The ice machine is another location in which germs like to gather. If not emptied and cleaned regularly, a pink mold will grow and eventually develop into a thick slime. How disgusting! This not only poses a health risk, but it will alter the smell and taste of the ice.

MTO Janitorial reminds you that cleaning your Prescott restaurant's dining area is an important part of your business. MTO Janitorial wants to help your Prescott restaurant or other business put its best foot forward for your customers and employees. We provide high-quality commercial cleaning services at an affordable price. Call us today at 928-772-0004 or visit us at http://www.mtojanitorial.com.

MTO Janitorial recommends regular cleaning for your Prescott commercial facility

Basic cleaning of your commercial facility helps maintain a pleasant atmosphere for your customers and a safe environment for your employees. For these reasons, it is essential for cleaning to be done on a regular basis. What many businesses want to know is how often should cleaning take place? MTO Janitorial offers tips on a cleaning schedule for your Prescott commercial facility.

Restrooms
It may seem obvious, but your restrooms should be cleaned every day. In addition to cleaning, a professional cleaning service will also keep the necessary toiletries stocked, so you do not need to worry about running out of soap, toilet paper, or paper towels. If it is used by customers, a clean restroom conveys the subtle, yet powerful, message that you take the time to do things well.

Food Areas
Any area where employees or customers eat should also be cleaned on a daily basis. This is because food particles on countertops and floors are a prime breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Anyone who comes into contact with these germs and bacteria is at risk of becoming ill and spreading sickness throughout your business. It is vital that the hot spots for bacteria be properly sanitized. This includes countertops, microwaves, tables, door handles, etc.

Foyer
The first impression you make on your customers will likely dictate how they view and interact with your company. Have your foyer cleaned every few days to prevent dust buildup and unsightly floors. If your foyer is very busy or if it is monsoon season, cleaning should happen daily.

Employee Work Space
Employee work spaces like desks are often forgotten about. The employees may dust them from time to time, but they are rarely sanitized. This means bacteria have an opportunity to grow. These areas should be dusted and sanitized once a week at minimum. Heavy usage may require additional cleaning.

Windows
How often you clean your windows depends on several factors. If you are in a busy area of town, your landscaping has a significant amount of dirt or sand, or there is inclement weather, you may need to have your windows cleaned more frequently. It is not likely that your windows will need to be cleaned more than twice a year, however, the window sills should be dusted on a weekly basis to avoid buildup.

Cleaning your commercial facility is an important part of doing business, but because it is not your primary business, it often gets overlooked. MTO Janitorial wants to help your Prescott business put its best foot forward for your customers and employees. We provide high-quality commercial cleaning services at an affordable price.
