Office Upholstery Cleaning Tips for the Holiday Season

Maintaining clean office upholstery during the holiday season can be a challenge. Frequent events, heavy foot traffic, and lenient office rules over the holidays can cause staining, discolouration, and bleaching on upholstered chairs and couches. Infrequent office upholstery cleaning creates permanent wear and tear, making an office appear dirty and unprofessional. Commercial upholstery steam cleaning is beneficial for refreshing dull-looking office chairs and sofas and helps eliminate bacteria. Give your commercial upholstery the gift of a deep clean this holiday season!

Eco-Friendly Ice Melt Alternatives

As global warming continues to rise, it is critical to consider your impact on the environment. Implementing waste sorting programs, creating a bring-your-own-dishes-to-work policy, using motion sensors for soap dispensers and hand dryers, and going paperless are a few of the many ways you can minimize your business’s impact on the planet. Another green initiative includes using eco-friendly ice melt alternatives. Salts and chlorides present in most chemical-based ice melts negatively affect our ecosystem by entering our waterways. When ingested by animals, ice melt can cause severe harm. There are many store-bought eco-friendly ice melt alternatives; however, these items you may have in your cupboard will also suffice.

Every season has its unique challenges. The winter brings cold temperatures, more precipitation, and less daylight.
