Winter Is Coming

Why are mats and mops so important during the winter months?

 

Fall is coming to an end and the temperature is starting to slowly drop.  Winter weather is creeping up on us, and soon businesses will need to start thinking about ways to keep the snow and salt off of their floors.  Without proper matting, the risk of customers slipping and falling is much higher.  This is obviously something that should be avoided at all costs as the safety of your customers should be the top priority.  Plus, having mats and mops available to remove the salt stains off of your floors helps maintain a professional looking image.

 

Here are some of the many ways in which mats can keep your staff and customers safe during the winter months:

  • Prevent slips and falls, and reduce the risk of liability
  • Reduce daily cleaning costs by substantially minimizing tracked-in soil.  Research shows that overhead costs associated with cleaning greatly increases during the winter months. 
  • Extend the lifespan of flooring surfaces
  • Help maintain a great impression with your customers. 
  • With Swan, your soiled mats are picked up at your location for each service cycle, and then exchanged with clean ones.  The soiled items are brought back to our plant for professional cleaning.  It’s as easy as that.

Planning For Fall

Is Your Business Ready For Fall? 

 

 

Summer is coming to an end, and it is time to plan for the fall, which can include wet weather, and more dirt entering your place of business. With children returning to school, and vacations over, is your business ready for the additional traffic through your door?

 

It is important to think about first impressions of your business, and also the safety of both your customers and staff. Swan Dust Control will place mats in the high traffic areas, and entrances, so that dirt, dust, and wet weather are captured by the mat. Every two weeks the dirty mats are removed and replaced with clean mats, so that your business stays clean, and you can focus on what you do best, which is to serve your customers. 

 

In the fall people start to spend more time indoors, and with kids back at school, cold and flu germs are spread more easily. Adding a Purell anti-bacterial dispenser can kill these germs and keep you and those around you healthy.

It's Spring Cleaning Time!

Is Spring Fever Really A "Thing"?

 

Spring Fever is not a medical term, and not a disease or malfunction of the body, but it is recognized as something that affects many that live in northern climates. The additional sunlight and warmer temperatures have a positive affect on mood and energy level.

People feel lighter, can tend to eat less, and have a desire to unburden themselves, often recognized as wanting to "Spring Clean".  If you’re a business owner, you might be feeling the same way- might this be time to order those mats for your business to keep things clean, and let Swan Dust Control pick up the dirty mats and deliver clean ones?  Having a clean work environment not only impresses customers, but it can also impact the productivity of your employees.  Mess and clutter can cause feelings of stress, whereas a clean environment can improve an employee’s ability to focus and get the job done!  It’s a win-win situation for everyone!  For more information about our products and services, call Swan and receive a free quote.

 

It's Spring, so enjoy, get outdoors, take up activities like walking and golf, and enjoy Canada's wonderful parks.  It's been a long winter and Spring is finally here!
