Cathleen is sincere and accomodating to callers and keeps on top of projects and paperwork. Robin gives 110% in the field and knows from years of experience, how to tackle the job. Our employee's, who are paid <u>more </u>than minimum wage, take pride in themselves and in their work. When, from time to time, we either get a really nasty customer or a renegade employee, neither lasts long with us because we don't tolerate "bad energy!"</span><br />

The good news is that most of our work comes from high-end businesses or residents who are willing to wait to receive personal treatment, impeccable work, and the same men coming to see them, year after year. Like our style? BOOK EARLY!</strong></em></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;">How many sanitizers are needed at a facility? </span><br />
Locale is important----Every entryway, heavily traveled areas and in schools, each classroom<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">What's better - quat-based or alcohol based sanitizers?</span><br />
Quat-based have risk of causing allergies and can leave sticky residue but are not flamable and contain no alcohol. Alcohol based sanitizers have been proven to kill 99.99 percent or more of micro-organisms.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Should kids in school be allowed to use sanitizers?</span><br />
Yes! When soap and water are not available, alcohol based sanitizer is next best thing<br />

When I inquired to the General as to why, here's the answer I got:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">"The owners hired two guys with a pressure washer and dirty rags. Got water in the doors and windows and the windows are worse than before. Other than that, they did a great job but I was embarrassed to have guys like that around. But it was the Owner's choice. Your price looked fine to me but they thought they could do it cheaper. Oh and I forgot, it took these guys 3 days.</span>WeClean123.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02224245866525836089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690833134642711021.post-31289003278775719782013-03-06T09:51:00.002-08:002013-03-06T09:51:33.279-08:00We Are A Member of the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>One of the great benefits of our membership the Sausalito Chamber is that we can use the Chamber's B2B e-Newsletter to post promotions or mention a special event.

As a commercial custodial group, it's a must! We use only disinfectants that are registered by the EPA. We are not a vinegar and water cleaning outfit, but our product lines are approved and the real deal. Each product calls for the proper procedure to use it. For example, a disinfectant used on kitchen counter tops needs "dwell time". To spray it on, only to wipe it off, does not good. The places we clean are important as well. We often point out to the customer that high traffic areas in offices should be cleaned nightly. Other surfaces that can promote germs are desks, tables, chairs, benches, lockers, toys, door knobs, light swtiches, sinks, and more.

Check your property! Depending on the material and size of the slippery spot, pressure washing or just plain elbow grease w/a mild solution, can usually remove the green. Note: Our pressure washer crew is trained. Use caution if you choose not to go professional . Pressure washers washers can tear up paint and wood if not used correctly. </span><span style="color: #274e13;"></span><br />

If it is raining, we obviously won't proceed until the weather clears. If it rains just days after your windows are cleaned, we are sorry, we do not provide "rain-checks".

A GOLDEN RULE of our WeClean123 and Pacific Cleaning: If a crew member crew sees something damaged or glass that is blown or scratched during our janitorial or window cleaning, we point it out to the Customer. If the customer is not home, our crew calls the office so we can note it on the work order. Another GOLDEN RULE for our company is that if we in fact do cause any breakage, our crew knows to immediately "fess up" to the office and to the Customer. This is almost as important as our weekly safety meetings.WeClean123.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02224245866525836089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690833134642711021.post-2364644535008371102012-08-30T04:16:00.002-07:002012-08-30T04:16:15.488-07:00Winter StrategyWe will be rocking and rolling with our window cleaning crew as the warm months in Marin have now arrived.

Peg was our role model as she was a keen and intelligent realtor, worked tirelessly for the community and was always generous with her time if we needed advice. At every opportunity, Peg promoted our cleaning service but as neighbors, we enjoyed just being able to wave hello and talk about the weather. Peg, we loved you and we miss you.<br />
