83-blinds-cleaningBlinds came in our lives quite long ago, and are firmly staying there, replacing wherever possible heavy and bulky curtains. As of today blinds are used both in homes and in offices.

They perfectly protect from the sunlight, and have a wonderful design; however, this doesn’t change the fact that they collect a lot of dust. Especially, if the blinds are hanging in the kitchen area, in addition to the usual dust the remnants of fat and soot are accumulated on them. Blinds come in two types – horizontal and vertical, and have a special treatment technology.

So, let’s see, how to clean the blinds? This cleaning procedure depends directly on the structure and material of your blinds. As a rule, their cleaning does not take much time and effort, but on the condition that they are wiped every day with a wet cloth with the addition of detergents. This helps to maintain the purity and prevent heavy contamination. Otherwise , however, you will have quite a job to bring blinds in proper form.

In order to clean the blinds made of metal, it is necessary to take them off from the blinds holder and perform further cleaning in the bathroom. Washing under running water is necessary, without strong water pressure.
If the contamination is serious, it is necessary to use detergents based on soap, applying them with a sponge or a brush of medium hardness. The best option is to leave for a while lathered blinds to soak in the bath, and then gently rinse with warm water.

To clean the blinds made of wood, it is necessary to use only special cleaning agents since they can not be washed the usual way. The water will provoke the swelling of wood. That will result in quick wearing out of the blinds.

Now let us consider the options of cleaning the blinds made of fabric.
The most simple, but rough way of cleaning is washing in a standard washing machine. To do this, take off the blinds, twist them up into a roll, and put in a washing bag, then play the delicate mode and hope for a favorable outcome of these actions. Be prepared for a possibility that the shape of your blinds will likely never be the same.
Such a cleaning process in home conditions is the most effective. If of course, the degree of contamination is sufficiently high. To avoid strong dust content on fabric blinds, it is recommended during the office cleaning to vacuum them. At minimum power and with a special dust nozzle.

In order to clean the blinds without having to take  them off from the window, you must thoroughly, but very carefully, apply a cleaning agent with a sponge, and wipe each strip of blinds. Then change soapy water to clean one and repeat the procedure. It is necessary to accept the fact that the dirty water stains after such manipulations will definitely be on the window-sill, and on the floor, and on the walls.

However, a Pro Quality Cleaning company knows how to clean the blinds much faster and more qualitatively. All you need to do for this is just to apply for a cleaning service. And soon our specialists will arrive to your office, and in a short time will bring your blinds in perfect condition. In cleaning blinds, as well as in performing any other work, we use special, professional tools. We have specialized equipment and tools, for quick and maximum effective office cleaning.

Office deep cleaning

27-office-cleaners-in-seattleHow often should it be done?

Office deep cleaning is a single or regular set of activities, during which all the necessary works are performed to create a perfect order in the premises in accordance with the priorities of the customer. The deep cleaning of an office space may be required in some cases, such as rearrangement or severe “neglect” of the office premises.

It should be noted that the establishment of cleanliness and order in the office often increases working effectiveness and efficiency, serving as a motivating a stimulus for employees. Freshness, gloss and purity of the workspace demonstrate the company’s interest in good working condition of its professionals, so it is important to pay adequate attention to this aspect.

In order to determine the frequency of referring to experts, it is necessary to take into account the size of the premises, the amount of equipment, the number of people coming to the office every day, as well as the neatness of the employees. Of course, the latter is sometimes difficult to observe (and one does not exclude the probability of accidents), but sometimes without this point it is hard to determine right how often the deep cleaning should be done in the office.

Actions, included in office deep cleaning.
Of course, the works necessary for a complex cleaning of the office space, as well as the prices for cleaning, depend on the office size. The basic services of office deep cleaning usually include the following:

• removal of dust from floors, ceilings, walls as well as all the details of the interior;
• cleaning of windows, windowsills, radiators, heating pipes;
• cleaning of upholstered furniture and carpets with special equipment;
• cleaning of bathrooms and kitchen facilities;
• wet and dry cleaning of the items of office equipment;
• taking out the trash, and much more.

There are many cases when in order to save some money the company’s management hires for office cleaning “a cleaning lady”. Unfortunately, due to the low qualification, such a freelancer can damage the expensive equipment by, for example, picking the wrong agent for cleaning computer equipment. To avoid such situations, it is always better to use the services of professionals in the field of office cleaning, thanks to cooperation with which you will receive:

• saving time and effort that can be spent on the solution of strategic issues;
• reducing the risk and possible costs associated with unskilled cleaners;
• high quality services, which are guaranteed by professional experts.

Therefore it is always, and for any company, is more profitable and more rational to refer to specialists who will professionally clean the office within the shortest time.

Dry cleaning of the car interior

82-dry-cleaning-car-interiorPersonal car is a convenient means of transportation, which is not cheap. And some people have so many business trips, that their car turns into their “office”. If you want your vehicles to serve you for many years, apart from maintaining a good technical condition, you should take care of the cleanliness of its interior. The dust and dirt, accumulated inside the vehicle, may result in allergies and cause damage to the devices. In addition, the cloudy glass or stains on them worsen visibility and cause various kinds of accidents. To avoid this, you need to perform a regular dry cleaning of the car interior yourself or to look for the professional services of a cleaning company.

CLEAN BUT NOT DAMAGE A wide range of cleaning products allows you choosing an effective tool that can remove coffee stains, the marks of lipstick or ink, without damaging the upholstery. If the dry cleaning of the car interior is performed every 3-4 months, then you will not have any problems with removing the stains on your own. Deep stubborn stains should be left to the professionals. Employees of a good cleaning company can cope with any of such problems, and the result of their work will surprise you pleasantly.

Step by step instructions for the cleaning of car interior. How to make the interior dry cleaning the most efficient? To completely get rid of dust, litter and a variety of stains a comprehensive approach is needed.

Step 1. Preparatory. Before proceeding directly to the cleaning, you need to throw away both large and small litter from the interior, get floor mats out and empty the trunk. Then you can use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning the car. It will blow the dust and dirt from hard to reach places.

Step 2. Cleaning. For cleaning the interior take several wipes, a brush and stain remover. The upholstery on the ceiling is usually softer and cleaner than other surfaces in the car. Therefore the cleaning agent must not be aggressive so as not to damage the material. Means for cleaning the car interior can be checked on a small inconspicuous area. If the color of the coating has not changed, then go ahead and proceed with cleaning. Leather seats are cleaned even without any special means, with ordinary soap and water. But later they need to be wiped with a dry cloth and treated with an agent that protects the material from cracking and fading. Stains on the fabric seats are better to be removed with the help of foamy agents and a brush. You can also use a steam cleaner.

81-furniture-stain-removalContinuing to talk about office furniture, today’s article will cover some tips from the professionals on how to remove different types of stains from the office furniture.
Depending on the “recency” of the stains and their specific nature, some types of stains on upholstered furniture can be removed with the help of the materials at hand. However, if some stains are old ones and highly deep – you will not be able to do anything with them without help of a cleaning company. This is due to the fact that only qualified professionals with modern equipment and appropriate detergents can guarantee you a perfect result.

Recommendations on removing stains from the furniture:
- If the white wine was spilled on the upholstery, we recommend you to put an ice cube on the stain, and then sponge it up with a clean cloth.
- Red wine stains are much more difficult to handle. One fact is really important for this process: the stain must be recent. To get rid of such a contamination, try to apply a little bit of salt to it, and afterwards wipe it with a cloth, dampened with soapy water.
- Ink stains can be derived by means of conventional acetone or alcohol. To get rid of the strong smell after cleaning, you can simply wipe this section with a gentle detergent. This method will also help you to remove the lipstick stains.
- Beer stains are removed with the help of a weak vinegar solution.
- To get rid of jam stains, you need to put some soap solution on the contaminated area and lightly sprinkle it with salt. After performing this procedure, you should thoroughly clean and vacuum the surface.
- Wax stains can be removed by using the blotting paper and an iron. The wax stain should be ironed through the paper. If at the place of the stain some grease remains, it can be easily removed by a detergent.
- Tea sprinkling, chocolate stains are removed by liquid soap, which is easily wiped off with a slightly damp cloth.
- Blood stains should be treated as quickly as possible. To remove them use a cloth soaked in cold water. If the stain is very old – only specialists from a cleaning company will be able to help you.
- There is one more way to remove ink stains. The following procedures need to be performed: mix baking soda and water, then put the prepared mixture on the stain. To get rid of the traces of this solution, just wipe the surface dry.

Our cleaning company strongly recommends you always to pay attention to the composition of cleaning agents. Some chemicals used in such products may significantly harm the appearance of upholstered furniture.

To clean the upholstered furniture and not to damage it
To remove dust from upholstered furniture use dry cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. For this purpose time use a special soft upholstery nozzle and the average engine speed. The wet cleaning is used for deeper cleaning and stain removal.

Steam cleaning
If you are a happy owner of a vacuum cleaner with a steam cleaner, you can use it to perform a deep cleaning of upholstered furniture from dust and dust mites. It is important that the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a highly efficient multi-stage filtration system.

Chemical cleaning
You may use some special cleaning agents that are suitable for the upholstery material of your upholstered furniture. Before using a cleaning agent try it on a small scrap of upholstery and let it dry. If the upholstery was not damaged during the treatment, apply the cleaning agent to small areas and carefully rub with a soft brush or sponge within less than a minute. The backrest should be the first to be cleaned, and then – armrests. The bottom part is the last one to be cleaned. The remains of a cleaning agent are collected with a vacuum cleaner. No need to dry upholstery with a hair dryer! The material should dry up naturally.

Old wives remedy
If the previous cleaning methods do not suit you, use the old natural home remedy. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of vinegar in 1 liter of water. Soak in this solution a large clean piece of cotton or linen cloth and squeeze it out well. Cover the sofa or chair with this piece of cloth and begin to dust off with soft beats of a beater. Wash the dirty cloth, soak it again in the solution of water and vinegar and repeat dusting off, until the cloth remains clean after dusting.

Peculiarities of leather furniture cleaning

On September 5, 2015, in Office area, by admin

80-leather-furnitureLeather is the most expensive, but at the same time the most beautiful and practical material for furniture upholstery. Its usability is in the fact that such upholstery may serve for a long time, maintaining its glamour, however under a condition that proper leather furniture cleaning will be performed. And the best thing is to entrust this procedure to professionals.

Leather is a natural material, but porous, and hence it is hygroscopic. This means that any spilled liquid will be very quickly absorbed by upholstery. And if it’s a drink or wine, you should hurry up with its removal, otherwise the stains are inevitable. The protective coating, applied at the furniture factories, eventually deteriorates and upholstery becomes less protected.

But what to do, if the stains appeared after all? First of all you shouldn’t try to remove them by yourself. Most likely you will just reinforce it by using the on-hand household detergents. The best thing is to call to the cleaning company. And as quickly as possible.

However, leather furniture cleaning belongs to the high complexity services category, that’s why it requires from the specialists high qualification, professional experience and availability of special cleaning agents. Therefore, the price of the service shouldn’t be a major factor in your choice. Inexpensive so-called “professionals” offer treating the leather with wax containing compositions. But this is strictly forbidden.

There are several reasons for this. First of all, wax is very hard to be removed from leather afterwards. Secondly, this material bridge the pores, the upholstery starts to age rapidly due to lack of gas exchange. Third, leather furniture is getting dirty much quicker, as wax absorbs dirt actively. And finally, the typical for polished natural leather gloss disappears.

Thus, if you want your leather furniture to serve you faithfully for a long time, don’t tempt fate, entrust the care about it to real professionals.

Office cleaning: focusing our attention on furniture

On August 31, 2015, in Office area, by admin

79-office-furnitureSpecific furniture is an integral element of office spaces, which is equally important for the normal working process as the office appliances. That’s why office cleaning must definitely include office furniture care. For the furniture to serve longer, optimum “life conditions” should be provided for it in the first place.
- the indoor temperature should not extend beyond 60°F … 77°F (the OSHA recommended temperature for comfortable and productive work of the office employees is 68°F – 76°F);
- relative humidity should not exceed 60%;
- arrange the furniture in such a manner to avoid direct sunlight hitting the furniture surfaces;
- tables must stand on flat surfaces, since a slant may aggravate tension on single elements and cause their deformation;
- the weight of the load should also be taken into consideration. In accordance with recommendations, maximum load on the bottom of the drawers should not exceed 10 kilos, and the load for the racking shelves is allowed twice as much as for the drawers.
Furniture is divided into different categories, so during the office cleaning it is important to consider the material it is made of. Laminated office furniture sets are considered the most undemanding in care. Laminate is moisture resistant, sustains well different mechanical loads, but doesn’t stand abrasive effect.
It’s enough for laminate to be wiped with a wet cloth, but as for the lacquered furniture, it requires much closer attention. During cleaning the surface of such furniture is wiped with a special wax containing mixture. It gives gloss, restores micro defects and performs a protective function at the same time.
The most difficult in maintenance and cleaning is upholstered office furniture. But this is the topic for our next article.

Professional Office Cleaning. What does it mean?

On August 18, 2015, in Cleaning industry, by admin

78-professional-office-cleaningProfessional, high-quality and inexpensive office cleaning by a cleaning company is a common phenomenon in a modern world. The cleaning process is more and more frequently entrusted to specialized companies. Well, and it’s needless to say that cleaning should be done regularly.
The principle “It’s clean not where people clean up, but where they don’t litter” allows only increasing the interval between bringing an office in order, but in whatever way there comes a time when you need to take up the dusters and carry out this wearisome process. The list of things required for cleaning the premises, especially for deep cleaning, is quite impressive. You will need mops, brooms, buckets, vacuum cleaner, dustpans, sponges and all sorts of cleaning agents.

One of the principal and seemingly inconspicuous problems is dust. It can adversely affect the health of your employees, who breathe it, and some can become allergic to it. For dust control you will need special wet and dry wipes, which should always be in excess. It is also desirable to have antibacterial sprays in stock for more qualitative cleaning of surfaces.

One of the extremely important points is also a proper cleaning of expensive office equipment by applying special suitable means, in order not to damage it and not to lose the information stored on the computers. Therewith, a regular cleanup of the equipment will extend its life. Office cleaning isn’t finished with this, to be more precise – it’s only the first stage of a long and hard work.

Before you start to wash the floors, windows and walls, you need to use a vacuum cleaner. Dry cleaning always precedes the wet cleaning.
Thus, cleaning assumes the possession of various expert skills. To perform this process with a high quality you will need to:

·    know the cleaning procedure;
·    know the types and application of various cleaning agents;
·    cleanup the office equipment carefully but thoroughly in order not to damage it.
In addition you need to possess certain skills to do it quickly and efficiently.

Personnel recruitment for cleaning

Well, you provided yourself with everything required for regular professional cleaning of the office premises in the company. But who will do it? Certainly not office workers. And it is impractical to organize your own cleaning department. Hence there comes a time to search for a cleaning lady who will thoroughly carry out her work. This is also quite a difficult problem, and the search for a reliable employee may drag on. And if you apply to a specialized recruitment agencies for personnel selection, you will have to pay them quite a large amount.

The cleaning lady that you find will come to the office at regular time intervals and will establish order and cleanliness while all the staff members are busy with their work. In order not to distract the manager she can ignore cleaning the workplace and the space around it. It’s obvious that with such a superficial way of cleaning the carpets and decorative components gradually fade, monitors become dull, a thick layer of dust forms in hard to reach places… Eventually even a cosmetic repair may be needed.

But the cleanliness of the office determines the reputation of the company. Clients, visiting your company, usually pay a close attention to the cleanliness and tidiness of the office.

It’s never too late to think about how to maintain the cleanliness of the office. Easier not to puzzle over this question but to entrust the deep office cleaning to the team, specially prepared for this, and the price of such service will be reasonable. Especially that the professionals will have with themselves everything required for a high-quality work. You may conclude a contract for cleaning with varying frequency – from once a day up to once a month (and less often). A good practice is also to do a deep cleaning once per couple of months or more often.

The benefits of cleaning done by specialists are obvious:

·    it takes minimum time;
·    its quality is much higher than if it were done by yourself;
·    it is carried out by a professionally trained staff, who will use the cleaning agents exactly as intended, so you need not be afraid for a damaged table, computer or any other valuable item you have in the office;
·    the price of premises cleaning is not too high, and you will be able to return to the working rhythm in maximum short terms.
