When You Care Enough to Clean the Very Best
October 30, 2008
Does your business hire a housekeeper? Maybe you employ a maintenance crew. Does anyone still have janitors?
No matter what you call your clean-up crew, they have to truly care about what they do.
Hands-down, the very best housekeeper we ever had at work was a retired school janitor. She took everything personal. It mattered to her that the windows were finger-print free and that the bathrooms smelled of citrus cleaner no matter what time of day you visited.
Outside trash receptacles were not just emptied but cleaned daily. Ashcans were swiped to a shine and no butts were left to linger at curbside either.
Oh! the joy of dispensers always fully stocked with soap and toilet paper. You know what I mean? Surely you do if you have ever visited a ladies room to find only a shred remaining on the roll of TP.
It is wonderful to have lovely designed facilities but more heavenly to find them immaculately clean. Thanks to those housekeepers, maintenance crews, and janitors who care enough to make a sparkling difference that can be seen!
