This fall is a very volatile time for corporate offices, small business workspaces, and other commercial buildings. As the COVID crisis began waning, many companies started making plans for employees who have been working from home to finally return to the office. But the surge of the Delta variant in many areas has changed those plans again as business leaders postpone or even cancel plans for their workforce to return to a central office. Commercial cleaning schedules are similarly subj...

Businesses throughout New England have been slowly making plans to return to full speed, including welcoming back many employees who have been working from home for the past year-plus. Before you reopen the doors to your office building, retail store, warehouse, or other business, consider the toll all that time has taken on its physical condition. Just because people haven't been streaming through your doors doesn't mean that nothing has changed in the interior of your space. Time contin...

Some commercial cleaning companies specialize in a single type of cleaning. For example, there are commercial cleaners who are experts at post-disaster cleanup. There are others that perform mostly one-time deep cleaning for reopenings after a long shutdown. Then there are those that offer regularly scheduled commercial cleaning on a weekly, twice-weekly, or even a daily basis. At All Bright Janitorial Services, we offer all of these services and more to our commercial cleaning clients. O...

Have you ever gotten so mad at your contract cleaners that you wanted to fire them on the spot? If so, you aren’t alone. Maybe you caught overnight cleaners sleeping on the job. Or perhaps you walked into your business to wonder if they had even been there at all. Or you may have noticed items missing or broken between the time you left for the night and when you returned in the morning. The Meaning of Contracts The main thing that may have held you back was in the very name itsel...

Are you old enough to remember the old fast-food restaurant chain's jingle?: "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce Special orders don't upset us ..." The burger chain was distinguishing itself from the competition by stipulating that they were open to special orders. In other words, they would make your burger whatever way you wanted. All you had to do was ask. At All Bright Janitorial Services, we similarly are open to special instructions. If there's a cleaning job you need to get done...

How can you tell a good commercial cleaning company from a bad one? If you are paying to have your office, commercials space, warehouse, or institution cleaned by an outside vendor, it's an important question. Commercial cleaning can be a tricky thing to supervise because much of the time it takes place when you aren't physically at your business, such as during overnights or on weekends. Yet there are certain telltale signs that your cleaning company is doing a good job (or not) if you k...

A lot of business owners think that because they signed a contract with their commercial cleaner, they are stuck with them until the contract expires. And that's exactly what a lot of poor quality cleaning companies are counting on. Commercial cleaners that have high turnover, poor management, inadequate training, or lack of supervision often provide poor service to their clients. Cleaning isn't done properly, unmotivated crews lack focus, and there may even be theft or damage to property...

The past year or so has been challenging for many businesses. Everybody has been impacted by the coronavirus global pandemic. Some companies survived, but many didn't. But now as mass vaccinations are underway and the numbers of people infected and hospitalizations are dropping, the post-COVID era is on the horizon. What is your business doing to prepare for it? This summer, many companies are expected not only a return to normalcy but potentially record-setting business as people come ou...

Some types of commercial or industrial cleaning benefit from having a paper trail. Potentially hazardous materials like blood, some industrial wastes, or chemicals not only need to be removed thoroughly but may also legally require documentation from a certified professional cleaner. Some states, counties, or even municipalities require the registration or licensing of companies that handle hazardous waste materials. When you hire a cleaning company, it's important to ensure they will be ...
