<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">When business is slow, it's easy to think clients have moved to cheaper products or decided to do without the services you offer. Particularly during such times, it's a good idea to survey present and recently departed customers in order to check the pulse of your business.<br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>You'll probably discover some clients didn't like the level of service you provide. That's not pleasant to hear, but complaints of any kind are good. They give you a starting point for improvement.<br />

Most happen because of wet surfaces and unanchored rugs or mats. Others were caused by falling off a chair when a person was rocking or sitting down without realizing the chair wasn't in the right place.<br />
<br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Trips happen when you hit an obstruction and lose your balance. Causes include clutter, obstructed views, wrinkled carpet, uncovered cables, drawers not being closed, and uneven surfaces such as steps and thresholds.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Fitness. If the only part of your body you move on the job is your mouse finger, you need to increase your fitness level with exercise. When your body is stronger, you are less likely to fall or suffer strains and sprains.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Lift safely. If you want to move a piece of equipment or anything heavy, don't take a chance on injuring yourself. Ask a co-worker to help you.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Electrical. Most office equipment is manufactured with grounded plugs as a precaution (three prong plugs). Never remove the third prong. Overloading electrical circuits and using extension cords can result in a fire.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Bacteria. A study by the University of Arizona found that a desk has far more bacteria than a toilet seat, including plenty of cold and flu germs. Keep your hands, desk and keyboard clean with a disinfectant. Review the work specifications with your <a href="http://www.whistle-cleaning.com/" target="_blank">Commercial Building Cleaning</a> Company to ensure these surfaces are being professionally cleaned regularly.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Nodding. If you are often sleepy at work, remember that you need seven or eight hours of sleep a day. If you often have tension or migraine headaches, see a doctor for effective treatment.<br />
<br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Hurting hands. Hands and wrists can become sore with intensive computer use, but many conditions other than carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain. Check with your doctor to get relief from tendonitis, which can be treated with splinting and anti-inflammatories, such as Tylenol and ibuprofen.<br />
<br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Back, neck and shoulder muscles. Check your computer and chair height so they are appropriate for your work. Chair posture is important, so sit up straight. Take breaks and walk about.<br />
<br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">Eye strain. Microsoft suggests increasing your font size so type is easier to read. Look away from your computer frequently to allow your eyes to adjust to different distances. Be sure to blink occasionally to keep your eyes moist. Taking a fish oil capsule every day helps many people avoid dry eyes.</span></div>Whistle Cleaninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03034295590716968632noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381275010378992257.post-13413700325203562942011-02-18T07:03:00.000-08:002011-02-18T07:03:07.023-08:00Minimize Costs with An Effective Floor Mat Program<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">An effective floor mat program is one of the most important ways of protecting the floors of any commercial building. Walk-off mats stop dirt at the door and help keep building maintenance and cleaning costs to a minimum. In offices, schools, industrial buildings, restaurants and theaters, mats should be a key element in any <a href="http://whistle-cleaning.com/services.html">commercial building cleaning</a> and maintenance program. Here are a few facts to consider:</div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></div><ul><li>70-80% of dust and dirt in a building is tracked in from the outside on people's feet, which has damaging effects on carpets and hard surface floors.</li>
<li>One square foot of carpet can accumulate 1 lb. of dirt in 1 week, and double that amount in inclement weather.</li>
</ul>Entrance mats are the most common solution to help trap dust, grime and dirt before it comes in contact with your carpets and hard surface floors. High traffic areas should be pinpointed and strategically placed for maximum effectiveness. There are numerous options and types of floor mats available for consideration. Seek the advice of a professional <a href="http://whistle-cleaning.com/">commercial building cleaning</a> service to assist in recommending the proper floor mats for your building.Whistle Cleaninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03034295590716968632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381275010378992257.post-51320181769549055042011-02-13T04:02:00.000-08:002011-02-13T04:02:33.680-08:00Lighting Maintenance - Relamping & Cleaning<div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Every commercial building has lights, and the chances are at least fair that they are not being adequately maintained. Once installed, lights tend to be forgotten. They are out of the way and dust accumulates so gradually that it is hardly noticeable. In some buildings, there may be no lighting maintenance plan at all. Lamps are replaced haphazardly as they burn out, with no records kept. Cleaning occurs irregularly, if at all. Many building owners and managers may not realize how much energy and, ultimately, money is being wasted.</span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are many benefits of good lighting. The benefits of good lighting will, of course, depend on the type of commercial building. For example, in a factory, good lighting might increase productivity; in a retail store, it might increase sales. The following are some of the benefits of maintaining proper lighting.</span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Better Productivity - Numerous studies, in both factories and offices, have shown that improved lighting increases productivity; poor lighting decreases it.</span></li>

Regular maintenance assures that maximum light is produced for the cost in energy. Furthermore, because lighting maintenance is frequently poor, some buildings are designed with more light fixtures than necessary. In such "over-designed" buildings, the required light is delivered even when lamps are old or dirty. If, however, lamps are properly maintained in these buildings, then it may be possible to shut off some lamps, saving money in energy and materials, while still providing the necessary light.</span></li>

With incandescent systems, these operations will sometimes be combined, though it will usually be necessary to relamp two or three times before cleaning is again needed, due to the shorter life of these lamps. </span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Relamping Operation:</span></div><ol><li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Turn off the lamps.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remove the louvers and clean.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remove the lamps. </span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Shock-proof the fixtures.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Clean the outside of the fixtures.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Clean the inside of the fixtures.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remove the socket covering.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Insert new lamps.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Replace the louvers.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Straighten the room.</span></li>
<li><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Put lamps away.</span></li>
</ol><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When relamping is not combined with cleaning, the tube or bulb is simply replaced. Essentially, this involves turning off the lamps, removing the louvers (if there are any), removing the old lamps, inserting the new lamps, replacing the louvers, straightening the room (if necessary), discarding the old lamps, and putting any good lamps away in storage. Even when cleaning is not scheduled, it is a good idea to check the fixtures to see if they need it. This is especially true if access to the fixture is difficult or time-consuming, as it is with high-mounted fixtures. A lamp changer is particularly useful when relamping is not being combined with cleaning, since it is not necessary to have a person actually at the fixture.</span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When lamps are replaced, obvious or suspected electrical problems should be noted for repair. This can be easily done by putting a brightly colored tag on the fixture in question. Your electrician will then be alerted to the problem and can repair it.</span></div>Whistle Cleaninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03034295590716968632noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381275010378992257.post-7393657543607930662011-02-10T19:32:00.000-08:002011-02-10T19:32:52.254-08:00Removing Stains From Carpet<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

The spot may consist of a very difficult to remove material, or it simply has been allowed to age for too long. There are two approaches possible in this situation. The first option uses the same universal spotter, but in combination with a steam iron:</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Moisten stained area with universal spotter. </span></li>

Regular cleaning and maintenance by your <a href="http://www.whistle-cleaning.com/">commercial building cleaning service</a> is crucial to maintaining the appearance of your hard wood floors. There are some common stains that a commercial building cleaning service will confront during construction cleanup or move-in/move out cleaning for commercial or apartment buildings with hardwood floors. On wood floors, most stains can be prevented or minimized by keeping the floors well waxed and by cleaning up any spilled liquid immediately. When cleaning a stain, always begin at the outer edge and work toward the middle to prevent it from spreading. The following approaches apply to stains that have reached the wood surface, not just the floor finish:</span></div><div><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Water marks - Rub the spot with #00 steel wool and re-wax. If this fails, sand lightly with fine sandpaper. Clean the spot and the surrounding area using #1 steel wool and mineral spirits or a proprietary floor cleaner. Let the floor dry. Apply matching finish on the floor, feathering out into the surrounding area. Wax after the finish dries thoroughly.</span></li>
</ul></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dried milk or food - Rub the spot with a damp cloth. Rub dry and wax.</span></li>
</ul></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dark spots & Ink Stains - Clean the spot and surrounding area with # 1 steel wool and a good floor cleaner or mineral spirits. Thoroughly wash the spotted area with household vinegar. If the spot remains, sand with fine sandpaper, feathering out 3 to 4 inches in the surrounding area. Re-wax and polish. If repeated applications of vinegar do not remove the spot, apply oxalic acid solution directly on the spot. (The solution should be 1 ounce of oxalic acid to 1 quart of water. Oxalic acid is a poison: Use rubber gloves.) Pour a small amount on the spot and let stand for one hour. Sponge the spot with clean water. A second treatment may be helpful if the spot remains. If a second treatment with oxalic acid solution fails, sand the area with #00 steel wool. Apply a second coat of finish, let dry and wax. If the spot is still visible, the only remaining remedy is to replace the spotted flooring.</span></li>

Wipe dry and polish.</span></li>
</ul></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Animal stains - Spots that are not too old may be removed in the same manner as other dark spots. If the spots resist cleaning efforts, the floor will need to be refinished.</span></li>
</ul></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mold - Mold or mildew is a surface condition caused by damp, stagnant air. See that the room is properly ventilated and use a disinfectant that is effective against mold.</span></li>
</ul></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chewing gum, crayon, candle wax - Apply ice until the deposit is brittle enough to crumble off. Cleaning fluid poured around the area (not on it) will soak under the deposit and loosen it.</span></li>
</ul></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cigarette burns - If the cigarette burns aren't too deep, steel wool will often remove them. Moisten the steel with soap and water to increase its effectiveness.</span></li>

Re-wax affected area.</span></li>
</ul></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Oil and grease stains - Rub a high lye-content soap on the stain or saturate cotton with hydrogen peroxide and place the cotton over the stain. Saturate a second layer of cotton with ammonia and place it over the first. Repeat until the stain is removed.</span></li>
</ul></div><div><ul class="lpx"><li class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="size10 Tahoma10" style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rust stains - Use baking soda and a small amount of water.</span></li>
