Top 5 Office Warming Gifts

May 27, 2022/in Latest News /by Aquamaid

New beginnings are exciting times! A change of scene—or perhaps a change of work location is like a breath of fresh air, and at Aquamaid, we’re all for it. We understand that moving into a brand new office brings with it new opportunities and ideas to be turned into reality, but we also know how much time and effort has been put into making it all happen. As such, it’s a wonderful idea to bring office warming gifts to celebrate this type of new beginning. The experts from the Aquamaid team have curated a list of thoughtful office warming gifts that will put a smile on the recipient’s face and bring character to the workplace.

A soft, cozy throw blanket – Business is business, but receiving areas for guests or break rooms for employees need a little warmth, right? A soft and cozy throw blanket does the trick! It not only adds visual texture when draped over a couch, but also serves as a cue for relaxation when guests or employees see this accent in an office interior. We love how this blanket looks. If you’re into it or are friends with the owner of the space, you may even consider hand-knitting this type of chunky throw blanket! This gesture makes the gift warming in more ways than one.
A long burning non-toxic candle – Adding literal warmth to our list of our top office warming gifts is a long burning non-toxic candle. We particularly love the ones from Alberta-based company, Milk Jar. Made of natural coconut soy with wood wicks, these candles have a clean burn while adding a lovely scent to any room they’re in. Lit candles have a hot throw that overpowers unwanted aromas in a space, and with a quality candle from Milk Jar, just the cold throw (scent when not lit) alone can add a soft and delightful scent as well! This is especially pleasing when placed in central spots inside meeting rooms or huddle spaces.
A luxe essential oil diffuser and high quality essential oil set – Not only are these aesthetically pleasing additions to desk or counter tops, essential oil diffusers can also serve the purpose of consistently freshening and lifting the mood of a room depending on the essential oil it diffuses. Reinvigorating scents like green tea and lemon can welcome guests in the lobby while the crisp and fresh scents of lime and eucalyptus can freshen up comfort rooms. Remember to turn the reed sticks every now and then to make the most out of the scents, and replace them with new ones in case they’ve accumulated dust.
Office warming baskets – Yes, this is kind of cliché, but hear us out… What we mean is a healthy-living basket filled with sparkling water, tea bags, and “better-for-you” snacks like Smart Sweets organic chocolate. These can be shared during the office warming itself or be the first “supplies” in the break room. Just imagine how employees would feel when they see these healthy snacks ready to welcome them to work. You can also consider preparing a separate basket non-toxic green cleaning products to keep the pantry and other areas sanitized.
Aquamaid gift card – After the ribbon has been cut and the confetti has been thrown, some cleaning is due to follow. We’ve got you covered. With an Aquamaid gift card, any office (or residential!) space will stay thoroughly clean. We’ll take care of steam cleaning throw blankets, carpets, and furniture, keeping bathrooms clean and odor free with our commercial cleaning and sanitizing equipment, and making sure supplies and all surfaces in the pantry are clean and sorted. We’ll make sure all the nooks and crannies are taken care of so the gift card recipient can relax and be worry-free when it comes to cleanliness.

Give these thoughtful office warming gifts that will surely liven up any office space!

Labor Day Hero. A female cleaner stands in front of the image, her shadow a caped superhero.

Heroes We Celebrate This Labor Day

August 24, 2021/in Latest News /by Aquamaid

Heroes We Celebrate This Labor Day. Undeniably, an image of buff and costumed characters comes into mind whenever we hear the word “heroes”. If not that, we’d think of those who’ve offered their lives for a meaningful cause or that historical figure with a plaque and statue at the plaza. However, not all heroes wear capes—some wear backpack vacuums and fresh overalls! Our AquaFresh team here at Aquamaid are such heroes and we are proud of the work we do.

Heroic acts don’t always have to be saving the whole world or dying for a cause. Sometimes, it’s doing things behind the scenes to help ensure others can do what they have to do in a safe environment. Professional cleaners are such heroes, and this Labor Day, we celebrate the hidden heroes who contribute to healthy working environments.

Even in olden times, there have been people who have been entrusted with the task of keeping living spaces clean. These working-class people were hired by noble families to maintain the cleanliness of their properties. Cleaning can be time consuming and even more so back then! This is why there were either stay-in help or those who come for regular estate maintenance. Today, we have been blessed with the technology to make the tedious task of cleaning more efficient and effective, and there are professional cleaners who provide thorough cleaning services for commercial and residential spaces. Cleaning teams paired with quality assurance teams work hand in hand to guarantee a thorough job. This work system paired with industrial cleaning tools contributes to unblemished professional cleaning services.

Taking a look at places such as offices, malls, apartments, factories, and hospitals, you might find yourself wondering how they manage to keep everything so tidy especially for such expansive and busy places. Nothing is out of place, it smells and feels fresh, and surfaces are shiny and spotless! There’s the professional cleaning team behind the scenes to thank for that. Those inviting hotel lobbies or receiving areas in offices won’t be as charming as they are without the magic touch of professional cleaners. They are the ones who work unseen when everyone else is done for the day. Oftentimes, we see the place for what it is, but not the people who work to keep it beautiful. It takes skill to cover spaces and make sure nothing is missed without hampering the goings-on in a place. Cleaning teams are trained professionals who know how to operate and efficiently use cleaning equipment to deliver amazing results.

Professional cleaners take the time and exert that special effort to ensure that the space they have been tasked to take care of is spotless. No crevice is left dusty and even hard-to-reach spots such as vents or crawl spaces are taken care of. These unsung heroes know exactly where to look, what to do, and how to do it to deliver lasting freshness and cleanliness. An eye for detail and a commitment to excellence drive professional cleaners to deliver top-notch cleaning services.

With the health concerns we are still facing in the world today, cleanliness has become even more important, and the job that professional cleaning teams are tasked with becomes more crucial to the workforce’s health. Labor Day celebrates the workforce, and there would be no workforce without healthy work environments. In this ever-trying crisis that COVID-19 sets upon us on a daily basis, impeccably sanitized work and living spaces are crucial to fighting the virus and getting a grip on business operations as well as getting closer to our normal lives. From setting the stage up to cleaning up after, the work of professional cleaners truly contributes to how the workforce healthily functions as a whole.

5 Ways Cleanliness Impacts Productivity

July 26, 2021/in Latest News /by Aquamaid

5 Ways Cleanliness Impacts Productivity. A lot has changed in how businesses conduct their operations. The threats that COVID pose are still looming over everyone’s heads and has had such an impact on the global economy. Businesses are still recovering while morale is low.

In such depressing times, people have to soldier on and keep on living—working. With offices reopening and operations trying to get back on track—albeit adjusted due to COVID, maximum productivity is essential. The good news is that cleanliness helps uplift the spirit in more ways than one.

Here are 5 ways cleanliness positively impacts health and productivity in the workspace:

Infection prevention – Productivity is directly impacted by how healthy and how many people are in a business’s premises. The better overall health employees have, the greater financial health a company can achieve. The threat of contracting diseases contributes to feeling stressed out, which in turn contributes to a weakened immune system. Regularly cleaning commercial spaces especially high-traffic areas and areas where people usually converge for extended periods of time (meeting rooms, cafeterias) can give employees AND employers peace of mind that the chances of infection spreading are lessened. Teams are more at ease knowing that their workplace is kept clean, thereby reducing distractions that hinder productivity.
Stay safe in the workplace – When employees see, feel, and experience a clean and healthy working environment, they don’t have to worry as much about contracting diseases and potentially bringing it home to their families. Reduced worries means more focus and output. Commercial cleaning teams are also trained to look for office areas which need repairs. This helps avoid accidents and any other untoward events caused by, perhaps, warped floors or damaged walls.
Your workers will be healthier – Routine cleaning such as clearing out and refreshing the bins, dusting and wiping surfaces, and vacuuming the floors coupled with more occasional deep cleaning routines may not seem like they’re visibly doing much. However, it is important to note that bacteria, germs, and viruses thrive in different environments which are not sanitized. Damp and moldy carpets, sticky desks, and unkempt walls can all be breeding grounds for unwanted microbes. A healthier workspace equates to healthier workers, and minding the regular commercial cleaning provides a safe workplace for employees to do what they do best for the company.
You will stop the spread of viruses and bacteria – Let’s face it, the hardest battles are against opponents we don’t see. Viruses, bacteria, germs, mold, and other small particles (dust, pollen, mites) that enter the human body can wreak havoc on a workforce, and an unkempt office space is a perfect breeding ground for biological antagonists. Scheduled commercial space cleaning helps stop the spread of viruses and bacteria. Thorough cleaning services such as electrostatic misting captures microbes and freshens up space, making it even more conducive to productive workdays.
Your company image will better –Just as a property for sale has curb appeal, a clean headquarters adds brownie points to your company’s image. Times are tough and the world’s a changing, but this attention to detail and penchant for cleanliness lends a positive image to your company. Receiving clients and conducting business in fresh and well-maintained spaces help ensure recurring meetings and an overall good mood while deals are being made.

Lessen the worry of invisible threats affecting your workforce by booking a professional commercial cleaning team near you.

The AquaMaid team is a dedicated team of detail-oriented commercial cleaners. Our goals include efficiently maintaining the health and cleanliness of your office spaces while using effective cleaning tools and products to combat health threats.

Book a schedule and we’ll work on finding the best and most convenient time to sanitize your commercial spaces.

Summer Cleaning Tips and Benefits

June 29, 2021/in Latest News /by Aquamaid

Summer Cleaning Tips and Benefits. The end of spring ushers in summer, and this change in season comes with its own reasons for deep cleaning your commercial spaces.

While regular cleaning is good, seasonal cleaning helps keep your space in an even greater condition.

You won’t just be keeping your space clean—you’re making it even healthier and fresher when you have regular deep cleaning.

Here are some focus points for your summer cleaning:

Vacuuming carpeted floors –

Accumulated dust will not only discolor your carpets, it also floats up in the air when tread upon, causing a domino effect of dusty surfaces and impurities in the air. Thoroughly vacuuming carpets contributes to a cleaner visual space and healthier air overall. With seasonal cleaning, you can take care of stubborn stains and those spots which may need more intensive care.

Cleaning upholstery –

May it be your reception area or swivel chairs, upholstery of all types can and will get dirty—even cakey, at times. Nobody wants that! Professional cleaning services can offer you upholstery cleaning options which will remove built up grime on seat through steam cleaners and other cleaning agents. Dirty seats also add to a place’s odor, and when you have your upholstery cleaned professionally, you are eliminating some of that unwanted odor as well.

Filter replacements and vent maintenance –

Pollen gets everywhere, and though you may not see it, their presence in your vents can be felt by your HVAC system. With seasonal cleaning and filter replacement, you can ensure healthier air and no residual pollen allergies triggered by an unkempt ventilation system.

Hardwood buffing –

Hardwood floors need some extra love from time to time, and with hardwood buffing and polishing, you can keep them in greater condition for longer. Smoother surfaces retain less dirt and foreign particles. When your hardwood floors are buffed (and cleaned on the daily) that shine and natural beauty of your flooring will last much longer too. This is particularly beneficial for high-traffic corridors and reception areas.

Glass cleaning –

Brighten up your space with spotless glass windows! Professional cleaning services use special products to help ensure that glass windows stay spotless for a longer period of time. Special glass cleaners make glass surfaces repel water and dirt better, so a seasonal thorough cleaning will help make your glass windows look and stay clean.

Benefits of Summer Cleaning

Offices are high-traffic areas and these spaces can benefit from professional cleaning services. If you think daily cleaning is enough, think again. Here are some great benefits of having thorough summer cleaning from professional cleaners.

Alerts you of damages or parts in need of repair –

Maybe your HVAC system needs a tune up, or perhaps your floor panel has come undone somewhere. Deep cleaning allows you to see which parts of the space needs repair to avoid further damage.

Natural microbe control –

Letting the light in does wonders for keeping indoor places healthy. The sun’s UV rays are naturally good at keeping some microbes and even mold at bay. With clean windows, more sunlight gets in and not only gives that bright and fresh look—it also works on a microscopic level!

Fresher indoor air –

Clean carpets, upholstery, and ventilation all contribute to a fresher smelling indoor space. Where a lot of people converge and go about their business, how fresh a space is makes such a huge difference on everyone’s mood. No one wants to work somewhere dank and depressing! With professional summer cleaning, you don’t just get to experience spotless surfaces, but a mood-changing deep cleaning that can positively affect people’s moods.

Your and your space’s health is on the line, so don’t settle for anything less than the best professional cleaning!

Quality Controlling Means Better Results

April 22, 2021/in Latest News /by Aquamaid

Quality Controlling Means Better Results. The need for for commercial cleaning services is on a steady upward trend and not all business owners understand it’s importance. In spaces where a lot of different individuals come and go, high quality commercial cleaning has become even more important.

So, how do you know that the cleaning service you availed is of good quality?

According to Wright in 1999, quality in service operations can be defined as “The right thing at the right place at the right time.” Simple. However, achieving this isn’t always easy. The need for high-quality cleaning services especially considering the risks posed by COVID-19 has become even higher, and being able to achieve the right cleaning at the right place and at the right time has become equally challenging.

At AquaMaid, our cleaning services are quality controlled and NOT by the same group of people who did the cleaning. Let’s face it, inspecting your own work can come with biases, blind spots, and lapses in judgement. We’re only human, and that happens. But where health is concerned, as in our services, there should be no lack of attention to detail.

We achieve good quality control of our cleaning services by having a separate team inspect the cleaning team’s work. This way, a fresh pair of eyes, gloves, and overalls (yes, we supply the team with fresh work gear for every job at every new location) fresh everything, gets to inspect and experience the space we just thoroughly cleaned.

Points to Be Inspected During Quality Control for Cleaning Services

You may be wondering what to check for when deciding on good quality control. Here are some points:

– Technical quality – This includes but is not limited to inspecting the following: tools used, cleaning strategy, pricing, invoicing, cleaning team/agents. Are the latest tools being used for efficient cleaning? Were the tools clean upon arrival and used for their intended purpose? Are the agents or cleaning team appropriately dressed for the job and equipped with the qualifications of using the cleaning tools and equipment?

– Functional quality – What was the experience with the cleaning team like? Were you, as a business or an individual able to communicate clearly and did the cleaning team meet your expectations after the job? Were you offered flexibility as a client? At AquaMaid, we have flexible appointment schedules so that you can get your cleaning done at your convenience. We aim to provide cleaning services without getting in the way of your business’s operations, and we can schedule a time and date most suitable for you.

– Efficiency and cleaning quality – Thorough cleaning doesn’t have to take forever, but being efficient also doesn’t mean sacrificing the quality of cleaning being delivered. In line with technical quality, using the best cleaning tools allows us to conduct our cleaning services efficiently. If you have a lot of spaces you would like to be covered, we have just the right tool for it. We use an which raises the bar when it comes to effectively and efficiently cleaning a space. The charged droplets and fine mist gets to even the hard-to-get-to places that other cleaning tools cannot get to.

Your expectations as a customer should also be taken with high priority. Being able to clearly communicate your needs and specifics can help your selected cleaning crew deliver the results you need.

Furthermore, the quality control team can also check if those personal preferences have been met after the job has been completed.

Retaining and maintaining the excellence we deliver to our clients is at the core of each cleaning service appointment we have.

Calling All Real Estate Investors

March 10, 2021/in Latest News /by Aquamaid

Calling All Real Estate Investors, Property Managers, Property Developers… Move-In Move-Out Cleaning Services. The inevitable and often daunting task of move-in or move-out cleaning is something tenants and property managers alike have to deal with. Just entertaining the idea of making a place ready for occupation can get tiring! On top of that that you’ll most probably need a lot of equipment to perform a thorough job.

Ensuring everything is clean is especially important for new renters and real estate investors nowadays given the health threats COVID-19 poses. Proper cleaning can give new occupants the peace of mind they need to live comfortably in a new space. However, intensive move-in cleaning can be quite exhausting.

This is where residential cleaning services from AquaMaid comes in. Our professional team of cleaners will take that burden off of your shoulders. Moving in and out of a place is stressful enough as it is, and we’re here to strike one of the more tiring tasks out of your moving list.

Moving-In Disinfection

Starting out someplace new means clearing and cleaning out the space to prepare it for its new occupants. DIY house cleaning for moving in may have been more common in the past, but with the looming threat of COVID-19, entrusting your new space to a team of professional commercial cleaners will help set your mind at ease in more ways than one.

You wouldn’t need to feel anxious about occupying your new space when you know that a thorough residential cleaning has been performed on it. Our electrostatic sprayer disinfectant will cover all the rooms you need cleaned. Furthermore, the AquaMaid team is equipped with full-body protective gear while performing thorough indoor cleaning and preparing your space for you. This way, we ensure that our team is protected while carrying out the services you need to start off with a healthy living space.

Commercial Cleaning for Property Developers

For property developers, upgrading the value of the estates they are working on is definitely not a one-man job and a cleaning workforce is required. At times, former inhabitants may leave a place in a less than satisfactory manner, and moving out cleaning services may be warranted. First impressions can make or break a sale, and presenting a property’s best face can be achieved with a clean interior.

Another great benefit of having a reliable cleaning work force is when you have to deal with construction clean up. May it be for a newly constructed place or one that has gone through a renovation, interiors can get extremely filled with dust and debris in all the nooks and crannies. Being in contact with such elements can cause breathing or even skin problems. Surfaces may sometimes look clean to an untrained eye, but a professional cleaning crew works to ensure nothing is left on surfaces––especially the hard to reach spots.

We at AquaMaid get the job done right every time. Our meticulous team of commercial cleaners works hard to guarantee your space—commercial or otherwise—is in tiptop condition. A clean and healthy environment fosters only positivity, and we are here to help you achieve that. Contact us today for a quote and we will address all and any cleaning, scheduling, and procedure inquiries you may have. Allow us to take care of your cleaning needs for you.

At AquaMaid, we go the extra mile to provide you with thorough and effective office cleaning to help you, your employees, and clients feel safe in the workspace you are in. We care about you and our community.

Keep Your Employees and Clients Safe

February 11, 2021/in Latest News /by Aquamaid

Keep Your Employees and Clients Safe. The world is making adjustments to disinfection and cleaning protocols in an effort to have a healthy “new normal” caused by COVID-19. Given how this virus spreads through respiratory droplets or through contact with infected surfaces, exposure to and contracting the virus can occur anywhere where someone positive for it has been.

Despite the serious health threats posed by COVID-19 though, life goes on and there are ways for business owners to keep employees and clients safe in a healthy working environment.

Best Practices to Have a Healthy Workspace During a Pandemic

Social distancing is one of the best ways to avoid exposure and coupling that with quality commercial cleaning in your working environment can help lessen the risks of transmission. The AquaMaid team makes use of a 2-step process, particularly put into place with the thought of stopping COVID in its tracks in mind.

Our team wears head-to-toe coveralls instead of just masks and gloves. Each time we provide our cleaning services, our team is equipped with new protective gear. We also use an electrostatic disinfectant sprayer to disinfect an entire room––not just the surfaces people may get in contact with. This effectively reduces cross contamination from potentially infected surfaces which may slip other types of more basic cleaning. This is the greatest benefit of using our electrostatic disinfectant sprayer. Being a virus that can remain present in the air for a certain amount of time, this extra measure increases the effectiveness of our cleaning procedure.

Dealing with invisible threats is tough, but there are safety measures everyone can take to avoid contracting the virus. Risk assessment includes checking the working environment, population density control, and accounting for resources available to help stop Corona Virus in its tracks. Once risk assessment has been done, here are some ways to have a hopefully COVID-free workspace:

Improved health policies and staff education – Anyone who is exhibiting symptoms ought to be allowed to work from home or take time off to recover. Transparency when it comes to who may be positive for the virus also helps with effective contact tracing and managing the spread of the virus. Educating the workforce on proper health practices will also benefit everyone in the workplace.
Wearing masks – The possibility of transmitting and contracting the virus can be lessened effectively by such a simple safety measure that unfortunately isn’t always strictly adhered to.
Frequent handwashing or use of sanitizers – Proper handwashing––another simple yet effective way to kill the virus––is encouraged. Supplying easily accessible sanitizers around the workspace can help remind people to disinfect while simultaneously reducing transmission through touch.
Office cleaning – Good workplaces already have regular workspace cleaning but in the current global climate, there is an increased benefit of opting for professional commercial cleaning in the workspace. When in the past, “cleaning” may have meant vacuuming carpets or just regularly cleaning out workspace trash bins, today, commercial cleaning services can help safeguard the health of your workforce. Thorough disinfection of the entire workspace on a regular basis is encouraged.

The Electrostatic Sprayer

January 18, 2021/in Latest News /by Aquamaid

Electrostatic Sprayer

What may seem clean to the naked eye isn’t always clean on a microbial level. Yes, that white, non-porous surface looks clean. Sure, you wiped it. But cleaning surfaces effectively doesn’t end there. Bacteria can double every twenty minutes and a single bacterium can become a million within just a few hours. Viruses on the other hand can stay alive on surfaces for extended periods of time. Just think about that for a second and imagine how unclean a surface can be on the microscopic level and this where the electrostatic sprayer comes in.

Now, imagine a million tiny workers covering every square millimeter of a room you want to clean. This is what Aquamaid can give you, and we get the job done right every time. We don’t have a million tiny workers, but we use top of the line electrostatic sprayer to make sure we’ve got you all covered.

What is an electrostatic sprayer?

There’s science behind this effective cleaning tool. An electrostatic disinfectant sprayer electrically charges compatible liquid cleaning solutions (sanitizers, disinfectants, etc.) while blasting them through a spray nozzle. This spray nozzle releases a fine mist (remember “tiny workers”?) of charged cleaning solution. An electrode inside the electrostatic spray atomizes the liquid particles, making them repel each other while they fall through the air and seek a surface with which they can bond.

Because the mist is electrostatically charged, the fine droplets don’t merge into bigger droplets as they are dispersed through the air. Instead, the stick and ultimately coat whatever surface it is they are aimed at.

The Benefits of Using an Electrostatic Sprayer

Conventional cleaning with buckets of water, sponges, or regular sprayers work. But in today’s fast-paced world, and with the threat of COVID-19 at practically every space we may find ourselves in, there is a greater sense of security when you know that all surfaces are properly disinfected. Below are the benefits of an electrostatic disinfection service:

Efficiency – The tiny workers––those atomized cleaning solution droplets—cover all surfaces they are aimed at while retaining the same volume of cleaning solution in every droplet. In contrast with the wiping method of cleaning, disinfectants get into the sponge or rag, and over a couple of wipes, the rag itself is saturated with bacteria or pollutants, thereby losing the effectiveness of the cleaning solution it initially had in it. An electrostatic sprayer allows you to cover more while simultaneously getting the maximum disinfecting power of your cleaning solution.
Thorough coverage – Misting your space with an electrostatic disinfecting spray makes even cleaning irregularly shaped objects easier. Nooks and crannies can be easy to miss when using older methods of cleaning, but with the fine mist that our sprayer delivers, we can get to those extra hard to reach spots.
Efficiency – Our professional staff knows how to maximize the use of the electrostatic disinfectant spray, and with their experience in cleaning coupled with this innovative cleaning technology, the time needed to cover cleaning even huge spaces (from floor to ceiling) is reduced significantly. We’ll do the cleaning effectively and efficiently!

The Aquamaid Promise

Our flexible appointment schedules aim to provide your business the convenience of getting the cleaning done when most agreeable to you. We don’t want to get in the way of your operations, and we strongly believe that by providing excellent and meticulous office, industrial, commercial, and even construction cleaning services, you can benefit from a happier and healthier workspace.

We have put into place new procedures which ensure that your entire space is disinfected.
