Spring Cleaning

The first day of Spring has come and gone. This year is just flying by! Earth day is coming up and we have some tips for you on how to get that Spring Cleaning out of the way all while giving back!

Your probably thinking where do I start? Well if your car does not fit in your garage, I would say it is safe to start in there. We tend to just throw unwanted or old items in our garage and think we will just deal with them later and then we forget about them. Well now is your chance to clear it out.

Here are a list of things  to consider going through

• Toys
• Clothes
• Books 
• Linens

First think you want to do is start with three boxes, one for things you want to keep, things you want donate and one for trash. This will make it so much easier to stay organized.

Go through your closets and then head over to the kids closets and get rid of the things that do not fit them anymore. There are so many charities you can donate gently worn clothes to. Someone gets a new outfit and you get more room in your closet, it is a win win for everyone.

Get your kids in on it and give them a box and let them go through their room and pick out toys that have outgrown and no longer interest them. Let them know they will be going to another little boy or girl who can enjoy them.

Book shelf overflowing? Still holding onto books from high school. Now is the time to  clean that shelf off and wipe the dust away. Go through your old books that you have 3 times and donate them so someone else can get lost in the story.

Bathroom closets overflowing with old towels and sheets, time to make room for the new. There are a number of places to donate old towels and blankets, for example animal shelters are always in need of old towels and blankets for the animals. Or you could turn your old towels into rags and use them to clean.

There are so many ways to reuse the things in your home and give it a new purpose. 

• Last but not least, have a home office or office space that needs sprucing up.
• Start with going through your old files and shred anything you might not need anymore.
• Dust your keyboard
• Put your files in an organizer on your desk to make more room

Top 5 reasons why you should hire a professional cleaning service

Hiring a professional cleaning company can bring great benefits to your company. There are a number of reasons to hire a professional cleaning service to clean your retail space or office building. Below we will cover just a few of the reasons why you should hire a professional cleaning service. 

• The #1 reason to hire a cleaning service for your business is because they are the professionals! They are trained in the proper way to clean, dust, and sanitize your office space. Having a clean office is more than just being organized. The professionals know the way to give your office the clean environment it needs. 

• When the professionals come they bring their own supplies. Chances are you don't just have toilet cleaner or disinfectant in the supply room. In order to get the deep clean your office or retail space needs, you have to have the right cleaning supplies. And you will always know that the paper towels in the bathroom are stocked.

• Time is money. If you are spending time cleaning your own office or delegating cleaning duties to your staff, you are losing time, money, and productivity. It can also lower morale in the office. Your staff does not want to clean the toilet, they want to do what they were hired to do. Let your staff do what they are best at, and leave the cleaning to the professionals. 

• When your office or retail space is clean, dust free and properly sanitized it can cut down on germs and your staff will be less likely to get sick. If your staff is out sick it puts a strain on the rest of the staff and could lower productivity. A clean and healthy environment leads to a happy office staff. 

• You will appreciate your work space, office or retail space even more. When you work in a clean, organized environment, it leads to a more productive office staff. When you are not worrying about changing the paper towels or taking out the trash, then you and your office staff can concentrate on what is really important. 

The Business Cleaning Company can help with all your cleaning needs whether it is a small office, a multi suite corporate office or retail space. Call us today at 858-689-8966 for a free quote, and let us getting cleaning for you! 

Tips for keeping stainless steel clean

Everyone of us has stainless steel somewhere in our homes. Most likely the kitchen and bathroom. We have compiled a list of some tips to help keep your stainless steel clean.

• The first thing you want to do is read the instructions that came with your appliances or sink 
• Make sure you never use a wool sponge on your sink, that will scratch your stainless steel 
• You want to make sure you are using a soft cloth (a microfiber cloth works best) or paper towel 
• If you want to give it a quick clean, soap and water will do the trick but make sure it is a mild dish liquid soap 
• If you want to take a more natural approach, vinegar and water work great to give it that shine
• Glass cleaner works great to remove smudges and fingerprints 
• Very important to also rub in the same direction of the grain

These are just a few quick and easy steps to get your stainless steel clean. Remember if you require a little more heavy lifting to get your office, retail or other space clean. Call us at 858-689-8966 for a free quote or visit our website at TBCC from your computer or mobile device.

Save water, Save California

With California facing this horrible drought, it is challenging for commercial cleaning companies to find ways to save water and still give their clients the best possible service. TBCC has done its part to become part of the initiative to save water and save California. While cleaning carpets and power washing parking lots use to take s significant amount of water, TBCC has sought out other green ways to save water. By saving water, they are saving their client some green in the process. 

TBCC has implemented a new way to get carpets clean without wasting water. We have started using the Whittaker System. The Whittaker System reduces the number of hot water extractions to once per year coupled with treatments and it not only saves money but extends the life of your carpet! 

You can read more about The Whittaker System on their website. 

Our customers love the fact that it uses very little water, and that it dries in minutes. 

If you are ready to start saving some green, saving some water and ultimately Saving California, give TBCC a call today for a free quote!! 858-689-8966
