Give your restrooms some TLC to avoid stubborn odors and stains.

Deep cleaning the office bathroom. These words might strike fear in the hearts of many, but at KleenMark, we enjoy the satisfaction of a properly cleaned bathroom. A clean, sanitized bathroom isn’t just a way to make a good impression on anyone who passes through — it’s an essential part of running a successful business and maintaining your facilities.

Here are five reasons to schedule a deep cleaning for your business’ bathrooms:

1. Stain removal
2. Odor elimination
3. Cold and flu fighting
4. Making staff and visitors comfortable
5. Long term savings

Read on to learn more about why you’ll want to trust KleenMark to schedule deep cleaning for bathrooms at your facility!

Stain removal

We don’t need to get into the nitty-gritty specifics, but we’re willing to bet that your office’s bathrooms have their fair share of stains, gunk, and other unsightly blemishes. The Kleen Team is equipped with tried and true methods of removing these stains as well as sanitizing hard surfaces in bathrooms to protect against future bacteria.

Odor elimination

Unpleasant bathroom odors can, surprisingly, often originate from grimy grout and dirty drains. Our teams will rigorously clean grout between tiles, but, in many cases, we can also clean and sanitize drains that lead to the bathroom and can produce some of the more foul odors. We also recommend using odor counteractant to neutralize toilet bowl smells.

Cold and flu fighting

With the cold and flu season nearly upon us, it’s a vital time of year to go above and beyond when it comes to keeping your employees, clients, and anyone visiting your business healthy and safe. At KleenMark, we’ll go the extra mile with our deep cleaning and sanitization services. We can also offer suggestions to help keep everyone healthy when our expert team isn’t around, such as hand sanitizing stations outside bathrooms, handwashing signage, and “no touch” bathroom door handles.

Making staff and visitors comfortable

Taking pride in the cleanliness of your restrooms is essential not only for keeping viruses and bacteria at bay but also for the peace of mind of your staff and visitors. A pleasing odor in a shared bathroom can go a long way toward making employees and visitors feel welcome.

Long term savings

You may think you can skimp on the bathroom cleaning and just give the toilets a quick scrub and wipe down the counters yourself–believe us; this is just a temporary fix. Your bathroom may appear clean for a few days, but without a thorough cleaning, your toilets, faucets, drains and other fixtures will show significant signs of wear and wear much more quickly than if they were properly cleaned and cared for. As such, they will need to be replaced more frequently.

Keeping common bathrooms clean and safe is not an easy task, but the team at KleenMark is always up to the challenge. If you’re ready to experience a new level of deep cleaning for bathrooms or other areas of your facility, contact us today!

Keep your restrooms in tip-top shape for employees and visitors alike.

Cleaning bathrooms is no one’s favorite chore at home, and that’s certainly true at the office as well. Fortunately, at KleenMark, we don’t mind doing the dirty work — and doing it well. The cleanliness of your workplace bathrooms is not only essential to the health of your employees and visitors but goes a long way in helping project a professional image and leaving a great impression on everyone who uses them.

At KleenMark, we have 60 years of experience providing corporate cleaning services, so our team understands the services that help take a restroom facility to the next level and keep it looking sparkling clean.

With these four essential corporate cleaning services, you can be confident that your bathroom will shine:

1. Deep cleaning floors
2. Disinfecting high-touch surfaces
3. Neutralizing lingering odors
4. Replacing wax rings

Read on to learn more about each of these services!

Deep cleaning floors

With anywhere from dozens to hundreds of visitors each day, bathroom floors are certainly high-traffic areas, to say the least. If you have tile flooring, we recommend degreasing and scrubbing with a swing machine (also known as a side-by-side floor buffer) and then sealing it up to extend its life and make daily cleaning more effective.

Disinfecting high-touch surfaces

Sometimes, it’s what you can’t see that can be most problematic — with an average of 229,000 germs per square inch on bathroom surfaces like faucet handles and toilet flushers, we leave no square inch unsanitized. Our crews thoroughly disinfect and sanitize every surface in the bathroom and pay particular attention to surfaces such as faucets, door handles, stall doors and toilet flushers.

Neutralizing lingering odors 

It’s pretty off-putting to walk into a bathroom and know that you’ve just walked into, well, a bathroom. In a perfect world, your employees and visitors should think they’ve walked into a spa or a spring meadow upon entering the restroom. If your bathroom has a drain, this, surprisingly, can be the primary culprit for any lingering, unpleasant odors, regardless of how clean your bathroom may appear.

As part of our corporate cleaning services for bathrooms, our teams will rigorously clean grout between tiles. In many cases, we can also clean and sanitize drains that lead to the bathroom and can produce some of the more foul odors. We also recommend using odor counteractant to neutralize toilet bowl smells.

Replacing wax rings

Just a small ring of wax plastic could be the solution to your smelly bathroom problems. The wax ring at the base of toilets seals off the waste pipes below, and if that ring is defective, it can release foul odors and hydrogen sulfide, a toxic gas. We can easily check and see if these need to be replaced in your office’s bathrooms.

Keeping workplace bathrooms looking clean and smelling fresh is not an easy task — fortunately, with KleenMark, this is one issue we’re glad to take off of your plate.

We’re proud to offer commercial cleaning in Madison, WI and beyond!

When it comes to commercial cleaning services in Madison, WI, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a company with more experience or a better reputation than KleenMark. We make it our mission to go above and beyond for our clients each day.

2. Save time with supplemental cleaning services
3. We go beyond cleaning
4. Sixty years of experience

Read on to learn more about these commercial cleaning services and how they can make a difference at your organization!

Keep it Kleen with day porter services

If your organization is heavily trafficked throughout the work day – for instance, a school, commercial office facility, or hospital – you may need additional cleaning beyond just after-hours cleaning. That’s where a day porter comes in — a day porter will clean and disinfect in-between night crew, and make sure everything is running smoothly during the work day.

Day porters are the unsung heroes of the cleaning world, handling high-touchpoint disinfection, restroom checks, and any other unplanned janitorial needs that arise. The evening cleaning crew performs many of the same functions as a day porter, but also includes tasks that could be disruptive during the day (such as vacuuming and mopping). Our day porter services provide many businesses with much-needed daytime coverage to make sure your visitors and clients are welcomed into a clean and comfortable facility.

Save time with supplemental cleaning services

Your facility may already have a janitor on staff, but managing a facility can be a lot for one person to handle, no matter how diligent and dedicated they are. Or perhaps you’re looking to hire more janitorial staff but are having a hard time finding the right candidates. Our commercial cleaning services can complement and supplement your existing staff and work right alongside them to deliver a higher standard of clean! This saves you the time and hassle of having to hire and train your own employees while giving you peace of mind that the job is getting done right.

We go beyond cleaning

At KleenMark, we understand the importance of overall building maintenance and are proud to offer additional specialty services such as ground management, lighting replacements, window cleaning, power washing, carpet extraction, and more. While important, daily cleaning is only part of the equation necessary to ensure a well-maintained business. Read more about our specialty services here.

Sixty years of experience

With six decades of industry experience, we’ve had many opportunities to hone our skills to ensure you get the results and attention you expect. We are proud of the expertise we’re able to offer our clients, while at the same time, we’re always eager to learn about new developments and protocols in cleaning to help us better serve you.

We’ve had the privilege to serve hundreds of clients across the Midwest over the last sixty years, and we’d love the opportunity to add your organization to that list!

Keep allergens (and sneezes) from invading your workplace this spring with professional cleaning services for allergies!

While spring is mostly a time for celebration as the frigid winter weather comes to an end across the Midwest, it also marks the arrival of allergy season for an estimated 50 million Americans.

As trees, grasses, and other plants bloom, they release pollen that can trigger allergy symptoms such as itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, and a runny nose. Those allergens can make their way into your workplace through windows, doors, and on the shoes and clothing of employees and visitors.

Because of that, early spring is an excellent time to schedule a deep cleaning of your workspace to eliminate allergens and keep your employees and guests happy and healthy.

The professional cleaning services for allergies we recommend this time of year include:

1. Dusting and vacuuming
2. Carpet extractions
3. Disinfecting high-touch areas
4. Soft surface sanitization

Read on to learn more about these professional cleaning services for allergies!

Dusting and vacuuming 

Dusting and vacuuming can be done daily or weekly, and it’s a good starting point come allergy season. Our professionally trained cleaners will dust nearly every surface, not only desktops and countertops but higher-up areas such as the tops of shelves and ceilings as well, as these often-forgotten areas accumulate a tremendous amount of dust and allergens.

Carpet extractions

A carpet extractor is a powerful carpet cleaning tool that uses water, pressure, suction, and a chemical cleaner to extract dirt and stains from deep in the fibers of the carpet.

Your workplace’s carpets see a lot of traffic, and with many high-performance carpets, stains and everyday wear and tear might not be visible to the naked eye. But just because you can’t see the dirt and debris doesn’t mean it’s not there! That’s why scheduling quarterly (or even monthly, depending on the number of employees and visitors your office has) carpet extractions is essential to prevent a buildup of allergens in your space.

Disinfecting high-touch areas

We recommend daily disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, common-use electronics such as printers and copiers, and your kitchen or breakroom area. This service doesn’t just help eliminate any allergens that people track into your office with them during the spring months — it’s a good practice to adopt to help reduce your team’s risk of allergies and illness year-round.

Soft surface sanitization

Unlike our clothes, textiles in an office cannot be easily or frequently laundered to remove allergens from their fibers, making soft surface sanitizing essential during allergy season. Using the latest technology and anti-microbial solutions on drapes, rugs, carpets, and other upholstered surfaces as part of your office’s cleaning protocols can go a long way toward keeping your team healthy during spring allergy season.

At KleenMark, we deliver professional cleaning services for allergies that can keep your team and customers happy and healthy during allergy season and beyond.
