Clean Homes and A Smiling Planet: The Rugsies’ Guide to Green Cleaning

As the world becomes more environmentally aware, Rugsies is stepping up and doing its part in reducing our impact on the planet. Being an eco-friendly carpet cleaner means using sustainable methods and products, minimizing waste, and being mindful of the energy we use.

Here’s how we go the extra mile to protect the environment:

  1. Using green products. Not only are these cleaners better for the environment, they’re also safer for you and your family. Made from natural, biodegradable ingredients and free of harsh chemicals, our products work just as well as traditional cleaning products. When used to clean carpets, rugs, upholstery, and window treatments, they remove dirt and stains and leave behind a fresh and safe living environment.
  2. Implementing eco-friendly processes. We’ve implemented water-saving methods in all of our cleaning processes. We know every drop counts, which is why we use water efficiently – using a low-flow hose, adjusting the water pressure, and reusing clean water.
  3. Investing in Green Seal Certified equipment. We’re committed to providing high-quality cleaning services while minimizing our environmental footprint. That’s why we use top-of-the-line, energy-efficient technologies like the HOST Dry Extraction Cleaning System, a safe and effective eco-friendly floor cleaning system made from 100% plant-based resources. Not only does it save energy and reduce our carbon footprint, but it also helps us get the job done faster, so our clients can quickly return to their daily routines.

At Rugsies, we’re constantly striving to be more environmentally responsible in our operations. We feel obligated to be good stewards of the environment, and we take that responsibility seriously. So, we’re always on the lookout for new ways to reduce our impact on the planet. There’s always room for improvement, and we’re committed to continuously seeking new and innovative ways to be more sustainable.

The Importance of Keeping a Clean Business: Why Sanitation Matters for the Productivity of Your Business

It’s no secret that a clean business is a productive business. In fact, companies are forced to shut down every day because of their inability to keep up with sanitation demands. The Abbott Nutrition plant in Michigan is a prime example – forced to close down because of “egregiously unsanitary” conditions. That closure initiated a baby formula shortage and increased prices of available formula, demonstrating the power of cleaning to maintain business continuity. The lesson here is that a dirty workplace can have far-reaching effects.

The unfortunate events at the Abbott Nutrition plant should serve as a reminder that proper sanitation is essential for businesses to remain productive and successful. Consider the following factors when planning your commercial cleaning services budget:

  1. Health and Safety Regulations: Companies must meet specific health and safety regulations to stay open for business. Businesses must keep up with these standards or risk facing costly fines—or worse, business closure.
  2. Employee Health: Employees need to feel safe and comfortable to be productive at work, and a clean workspace is essential for this. Studies have shown that a dirty environment affects employees’ mental states, reducing motivation and productivity.
  3. Customer Experience: Customers will form an opinion of a business based on its physical appearance. A clean environment conveys a sense of professionalism and trustworthiness, which leads to customer retention and loyalty.
  4. Consult your cleaning service: A reliable and professional cleaning service will be able to provide the best advice for how much and what kind of cleaning services you need, based on the size and type of your business.
  5. Think long-term: Investing in a quality cleaning service now could save you money and hassle later. Preventative maintenance is always the best way to ensure your business will remain clean and productive for years to come.

Businesses need to consider commercial cleaning services as an investment in their future success – not just an expense. Keeping your workplace clean and up-to-date with health and safety regulations will help ensure the well-being of employees and customers and improve productivity. And the Rugsies team can be an essential partner in keeping your business competitive – both now and in the future.

Should You Take Your Shoes Off Before Entering a Home?

In many cultures, taking your shoes off before entering a home is customary. The practice is part respect and part cleanliness since some cultures also sit on the floor to eat. And while most people don’t dine at low tables in the US, there are still plenty of reasons why you might want to adopt this tradition.

When was the last time you paid attention to a city sidewalk? They’re filthy! We track all sorts of gross things in our homes on the bottoms of our shoes without realizing it. And it’s not just grass clippings from the garden; you can easily track drug-resistant pathogens, cancer-causing toxins from asphalt road residue, and hospital-associated infectious germs by wearing shoes indoors.

Even if you live in a rural area or take care to only step on clean surfaces, there’s still pollen and other irritants. These irritants can cause problems for people with allergies or asthma.

Taking your shoes off before entering a home is not difficult to get used to, especially with these easy tips.

Create a designated place to put your shoes when you enter the home. This could be a specific corner near the front door, a decorative storage basket, or just a simple mat. Having a designated spot will help you remember to take your shoes off and make it easier to find them when you’re ready to leave.

If you don’t like walking barefoot, keep a pair of slippers or comfortable shoes near the door that you only wear indoors. You should also consider having spare slip-resistant socks or flip-flops for your guests to use while they’re in your home.

If you’re a guest in someone’s home, you may want to err on the side of caution and take your off your shoes. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and your hosts will appreciate your consideration.

Of course, floors will inevitably get dirty, even in the cleanest of homes. So, give Rugsies a call and schedule a professional cleaning today. A clean floor is always the best way to go!

Rugsies to the Rescue: How We Improve Your Air Quality

Did you know the air in your home or office could be dirtier than the outside? It’s true. Dust, dirt, pollen, and other allergens can build up over time and create an unhealthy environment. That’s where Rugsies comes in! We offer various services that can help improve your air quality and keep your environment clean, healthy, and allergen-free.

Rugsies offers professional cleaning services for carpeting, furniture, and window treatments. We even provide air duct cleaning. Our team of experienced professionals uses the latest equipment and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to get your space clean quickly and efficiently.

If you’re looking for a way to improve your indoor air quality and create a healthier environment, Rugsies can help you achieve your goals.

 

Carpet cleaning.

Dust and dirt accumulate on carpets, especially in commercial properties. Walking kicks particles into the air, causing problems for people with allergies or respiratory conditions. Regularly cleaning your rugs and carpets can help reduce the amount of dust and dirt circulating.

 

Furniture.

Upholstered furniture can be a breeding ground for dust mites. They’re not dangerous per se, but they can cause respiratory problems for people with allergies or asthma. Regular cleaning can help reduce the number of dust mites in your environment and improve your air quality.

 

Window treatments.

Window treatments collect the same dust and dirt as carpets and furniture. And the particles spread across the room every time they’re opened and closed.

 

Air ducts.

Air ducts are often forgotten when it comes to cleaning, but they can be a major source of allergens and pollutants. Over time, dust, dirt, and other particles can build up in the ducts and circulate throughout your home or office.

 

A clean environment is a healthy environment, and Rugsies is dedicated to providing high-quality cleaning services that improve the air quality in your home or office.
