Most Building Service Contractors (BSCs)are aware that as a result of new technologies and more effective filtration systems, today’s commercial vacuum cleaners are much healthier for both the operator and building users than ever before.

There are numerous ways contract cleaners can make their floor-care programs greener, especially when it comes to stripping and refinishing. And while this is certainly a pressing issue for BSCs to look into right now, with more and more facilities in both the private and public sectors transferring from carpeting to hard-surface floors, green floor cleaning will become even more important in the years to come.

A building service contractor and his cleaning crew in California had just stripped the main walkway of a pier along San Francisco Bay.

As long as humans walk around on two legs, there will always be the potential for slip, trip, and fall accidents.

Cleaning ceramic tile floors—and keeping them clean—can often seem like quite a tedious task.

When submitting a bid for cleaning a facility, many BSCs offer some initial cleaning at the start of service—a technique that can often swing the deal to help them secure the contract. These extra services, which usually involve carpet cleaning or floor cleaning, stripping and refinishing, are offered at a very advantageous price and many times for free.
