Did you know that that the work Petrichor describes the distinct scent of rain in the air as it falls on dry soil.  It is one of life's pleasing scents that can bring joy to some people.  Especially in Arizona, where we never can get enough rain.
If the smell of your office is anything less then joyous, we can help get rid of those disconcerting aromas.  Dirty microwave ovens and smelly trash  can leave an offensive and unpleasant odor that can take over an entire office.  Initiating a scent-free workplace policy may be a helpful solution.  But, you will inevitably have some smelly food odors that can stink it up also.
We can help deal with these issues promptly and appropriately with a smile on our face to make even the worst smells easier to manage.  Call or text us or a free quote and enjoy the rain while it lasts!

It is important to note that R & S Commercial Cleaning Service is currently using the appropriate cleaners to kill cold and flu related viruses on high touch surfaces of your building such as door knobs, light switches and faucets.  We have over 30 years experience and have always been able to anticipate our customers needs and to exceed their expectations.  We are still able to offer green cleaning (unless otherwise requested) that helps keep the environment healthy also.
 Business owners should be realizing the importance of a clean office for their employees as well as their clients.  It is vital to provide a healthy and clean working environment to employees, since a large number believe that they work more efficiently in a green and clean working environment.  
Hiring janitorial services from a reputable company can be beneficial as they can provide professional  cleaners who understand your cleaning needs and  and provide the best quality cleaning services.
 
These are a few things that are recommended to keep you and your co-workers healthy and limit your sick days.
1.  Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water.  Use alcohol based hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't available.  (Remember when you eat out that the menu and and table condiments probably aren't cleaned on a regular basis.)
2.  Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
3.  Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, then throw it away and wash your hands.

The most important benefit of having your office cleaned by us is that it will boost the morale and self esteem of your employees.  They will feel valued that you want them to walk into a clean work place and be ready to start their day on a positive note.
An attractive and neat reception area let's your clients know that their comfort is a top priority.  That you are operating an efficient organization that they can trust to do business with!

Did you know that your keyboard may contain more germs than a toilet seat?
All key boards become dirty after use, even if you don't regularly eat or drink near them. 
You can use compressed air to blow out debris that gets trapped between keys.  Isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip will do a pretty good job of cleaning lotion or grease off, and will dry fast.  Keep an old make-up brush on hand for a quick brush out of dirt and hair.  Slide a couple of post-it notes underneath with sticky side up to catch the crumbs.
Starting out with clean hands will also help!

It is astonishing how many people cough and sneeze without covering their mouths!
Members of our family have come down with the cold or flu even though we take every proven precaution there is.  Hand washing with soap and water, alcohol based hand sanitizer after touching any surface.  Not touching our face, nose or mouth when out.  And we ALWAYS cover our mouth when sneezing. (The inside of the elbow comes in handy for that!)
Just think about how many people in your own place of work have come into contact with these cold and flu germs.  Having a competent cleaning service will help keep those days off work to a minimum.  Our service takes every precaution to keep flat surfaces clean and sanitized during this season.
Key spots that you should pay extra attention to when trying to disinfect after sick people have come in to contact with are:
Light switches - Easily one of the most touched surfaces!
Desk tops, table tops, counter tops, remote controls, computer key boards, door knobs, faucets of sinks and tubs, toilet handles and trash cans.
Your phones.
Switch out a/c filters and leave doors and windows open for a bit to circulate the air.
Throw out your tooth brushes.
Alcohol or bleach based wipes are quick and easy ways to clean some of these items.  You can also use a disinfectant spray that states that it helps kill viruses that cause cold and flu.
Cleaning up after the flu is one of the most important things to do.  Is it really worth the risk of getting it again or passing it off to a family member.

​Have a Fabulous Friday and an even better weekend.

1.   Our business started in 1981 and we still work for one of our original clients!  
Because our business depends on customer loyalty, we will do anything we can to retain clients.
2.   We have always been a call or email away if one of clients has a problem.  
We have responded to simple requests such as toilets overflowing to much larger ones when a roof started leaking during a heavy rain storm at night that set the building alarm off.  We met the owner at the building and started setting up ways to retain the water so that no equipment was destroyed, and they were able to conduct business the next day.  We were also available to help while the construction companies repaired the roof and ceiling!
One of the most difficult things that clients deal with is not being able to get in touch with their janitorial company for days or even weeks at a time!
3.   We were a "green cleaning company" before it became popular.  We strive to use the most natural cleaning products we can, which are good for you, your employees, your clients as well as the environment. 

Are there any other facts you would like to know about us?    Just ask.

Has your microwave (among other things) seen a few too many explosions during the holiday season?  It seems to be one of those things that you will get to next time you use it, and never seem to have the time. 
Here is a quick and easy way to remove the built up spaghetti sauce or the bean burrito that made a mess.
I use my kitchen sponge and wet it a little bit so it's not to drippy.   If it's a simple mess I microwave the sponge for about 30 seconds and leave it to sit for a few minutes.  The steam from it will loosen up the dried on stuff and should wipe right off.  I take out the revolving platter and wash it in the sink and leave it to dry for a bit.  Watch out because the sponge will be hot to touch.  Grab a few paper towels to grab the sponge with and wipe down all sides, door and the top.   Then use the paper towels to wipe off any debris that  remains.  This method should leave your microwave looking shiny and bright.  (This also sanitizes your kitchen sponge!)
I hope This Word of Wisdom Wednesday has helped you.   If you need help with any other of life's little (ahem) explosions, call or text us and we'll send you a free quote.
