We keep Woodridge buildings clean

Road salt wears down Woodridge floors

Woodridge winters are hard on the floors inside a building. Plows and salt trucks work the parking lots all winter. Everyone who walks in carries some of that salt in on their boots. It lands on the entry mats and spreads from there into the lobby and down the hallways. Left alone, it dries into a white film that dulls the floor finish and scratches it every time someone walks across.

In a busy building the damage shows up fast. VCT tile near the front doors goes cloudy and gray. Carpet at the edge of the entry mats picks up a crust the vacuum will not lift, and the fibers wear down underneath it. Salt leaves stains on stone and polished cement too. None of that comes out with a mop and a bucket, and the longer it sits, the more work it takes to fix.

That is why floor care is part of our standard janitorial contract instead of a separate bill. Annual floor scrubbing and waxing is included, and so is restorative extraction carpet cleaning, where other companies charge extra. Our IICRC certified carpet technicians do the extraction. In Woodridge, a good scrub and extraction after the snow season ends pulls the salt out before it sets into the finish for good.

• Salt film cleaned off entry tile and mats
• Carpet by the doors deep extracted
• Hard floors scrubbed and waxed every year
• Stone and polished cement checked for salt stains
• High touch surfaces disinfected every day

Woodridge warehouses need a different plan

Woodridge holds a lot of industrial space for a village its size. The business park along Internationale Parkway is among the largest around Chicago. It is full of distribution buildings and the offices that run them. A warehouse floor collects dust from pallets and forklift traffic all day. That dust does not stay on the warehouse side. It drifts into the break rooms and restrooms the staff use every shift.

We specialize in food distribution buildings and warehouses. We also work in clean rooms and data centers, where dust has to be kept to a minimum. Concrete floors in these buildings get machine scrubbed. Where an owner wants it, we polish the cement or put down a protective coating or sealer. That makes the floor easier to keep clean from then on, and it holds up better under carts and foot traffic.

Most of these parks also hold office space, and several larger companies keep their headquarters in Woodridge. The office side gets its own daily routine. Restroom pressure washing is part of our standard contract, and so are interior windows as needed. Our cleaning products and liners meet LEED standards. Our vacuums trap particles far too small to see, so the dust does not blow back into the air.

How we start a new Woodridge building

When a Woodridge building signs on with us, the work starts with an Intensive Initial Cleaning, and it comes at no additional cost. It is a top to bottom clean that clears out years of buildup, from the restroom grout to the carpet under the desks. A customer described the result on Google: "Very professional, left our building with a brand new feel to it."

After that clean, we test surfaces with equipment to see how clean they really are, and we test again from time to time. That way the standard is measured instead of guessed at. Daily work follows our Everyday Cleaner Standard. Each building has a single point of contact who is responsible for meeting it, and that is the person you call when something needs attention.

The people doing the work are our own staff, never subcontractors. Our cleaning technicians average more than a decade of facility maintenance experience, and many have been with us that long or longer. That matters in a building with keys and alarm codes, because you are not handing access to a new stranger every few months. It also means the crew already knows your building.
