11-27-09 Tucson, Arizona cleaning and janitorial services in Tucson, Arizona concerning banks, retail spaces, shopping centers, and offices, all have the similar problem with people walking through the oil and grease in the parking lot and tracking it in on their shoes, walkers or strollers. At Desert Cleaning Janitorial Services we have a method to remove the oil and grease stains. Additionally, mat's placed at the entrances, both in & out, help remove the dirt, rocks and oil from peoples shoes. Even though we can remove the stains, I can't stress enough the importance of having mats. Why? Because mats are easier to replace than tile or carpet.

11-20-09 Our Janitors or cleaning people at Desert Cleaning janitorial services, inc.know that carpet is very important, for not only giving a fresh, clean look and making the room smell better, but also for extending the life of the carpet, and helping allergy and asthma sufferers by removing germs and dust. Some of the best ways to take care of your carpet are regular vacuuming, stain removal, and deep cleaning. Also, there are several methods and chemicals a contactor can use.

We know that regular vacuuming prevents damage to carpet due to dirt and grease rubbing into carpet fibers, causing wear. Also, suggested that for rooms with light traffic, vacuum the traffic lanes twice weekly, and the entire area once weekly, while heavy traffic rooms need the lanes to be vacuumed daily, and the entire area twice weekly. Also, we think that up to three passes will suffice for light soiling, but five to eight passes are necessary for heavily soiled areas. It's simple and healthy. Call us for all you cleaning and janitorial needs.

Please note; regular vacuuming may not be effective enough if you do not use a good vacuum, however. Desert Cleaning janitorial services recommends a vacuum with good suction and strong beater bars, which brush the carpet and loosen soil. Do back pack vacuums' have beater bars? Also, please note that to maintain optimal vacuum performance, you should change vacuum bags (or empty the pail, for bag less models) and filters often. Read and follow all the manufactures directions.
 
Window cleaning is often overlooked. Do your clients walk up to your offices and see dirty windows? It really is a reflection on how you run your business.
 
Desert Cleaning is still looking into steam cleaners, and will keep you posted when we bring one on board.

6-18-09 Tucson green cleaning often overlooks the proper way to clean hard flooring. First, you sweep or, like we do at Desert Cleaning if you can, use a back-pack vacuum. This removes all the pebbles, dust and other loose debris. Also, it sets you up to wet mop. Traditional wet mops or flat mops can be used, depending on the application. If the floor is real dirty several passes maybe required and changes of the mop water. Another trick is to wet mop the floor by just barely ringing out the mop, on the first pass. Then, on the second pass you would ring out the mop all the way. Green cleaning with a good neutral cleaner is safe.

Green cleaning is smart and we are in the conversion period. Think safety, go green.

The "more is better theory "doesn't apply. The high speed machine gives the action needed to smooth the finish, allowing repair of the surface, and removal of black marks with the goal of a very high gloss finish accomplished.

Most dry soil has razor-like edges that abrade carpet fibers causing light to reflect differently and giving carpet a dull appearance. Soil can damage the fibers permanently if allowed to remain in the pile. A regular maintenance program extends the life and the initial appearance of your carpet.

8-12-06 Janitorial and office cleaning supplies prices have been increasing at a steady pace over the last year. When the media reports that the government indicates that inflation is under control, I believe they left out office and janitorial supplies.
