#1 Reason to always change your sheets

  Here is one of the reasons that your mama always told you to change your sheets and clean your room. Dust As you probably have noticed, there’s dust everywhere! You might have heard that it is made of human skin cells. But that is not entirely true. Some studies have found that more than 60% of household dust comes from outdoors Among them are things like pollen, dirt, and sand. But the rest is mostly dead skin cells, along with lots of dust mites. Yep, you read that right. Dust Mites! From the Youtube channel SicShow we learn that “Dust mites are nearly microscopic arachnids that hover on the border between visible and invisible, with an average length of about 0.3 millimeters. Despite their tiny size, dust mites are all over. And one study found that 84% of households had a detectable dust mite population”. So why is this a problem? The average human sheds about one million skin cells a day, and most of those come off in the tossing and turning while you are asleep. So mattresses and pillows tend to be full of those human skin cells, making them an ideal home for dust mites. Our dead skin cells are their favorite meal. There are, on average, a hundred thousand dust mites living in the typical mattress. Yikes!! Mites use digestive enzymes that can cause allergic reactions in humans. It’s when they excrete the enzymes and you breathe them in that causes the allergic reaction with sneezing, wheezing o or itching. And when you have a hundred thousand dust mites living in your sheets, there is great potential for your body to react in one way or another. What can be done? So the takeaway from this is to wash the bedding often and in hot water of at least a hundred thirty degrees to kill the mites and take away their food. Use dust-free mattress covers or polyester sheets and pillow coverings. Controlling dust around the house with vacuuming and dusting surfaces will ultimately help to control the population. Last, consider using a dehumidifier and keeping the humidity lower than fifty percent. Killing dust mites isn’t easy. The dust mite population decreases in colder months when the humidity is lower and comes back when l the moisture comes back. That’s why some people find that their dust allergies are seasonal. Take time to dust and clean your house and breathe a little easier.

Condominium Cleaning Services in Salt Lake City Utah

JaniServ was contacted by a local property manager in the Utah area to come in and clean six new properties.  The cleaning needed varied in each building due to different layouts and amenities. A few of them have laundry rooms, others have main lobbies and common areas which include a main restroom. Since these are residential facilities, JaniServ comes by once a week to provide the necessary cleaning services. Each time, all of the hallways are vacuumed and cleaned. We wipe down and disinfect the baseboards. Then for those properties that provide laundry facilities and have common areas, JaniServ focuses on those areas. Of course, JaniServ makes sure to clean all surfaces, as well as highly touched places such as doorknobs.  In the hallways, we do a side to side- front and back vacuuming with an upright vacuum on the high traffic areas and a backpack vacuum on the low traffic areas. Each month, we rotate through with the upright vacuum to make sure that it receives a deeper cleaning on the carpet. Since tenants come down and use their mailboxes, we make sure that we disinfect the exterior of the mailbox. JaniServ makes sure that the lobby’s sitting areas are cleaned thoroughly and put back perfectly. By doing this, we are able to provide a clean entry to the buildings. All of the chemicals we use, we make sure to use a nice scent that are not offensive or allergenic. This instills cleanliness amongst the tenants and all those that visit. Personalizing Cleaning Services in Utah We would make sure on a regular service, once a week or daily, depending on what the request was to clean the entry glass top to bottom. Some of the properties have windows that are floor-to-ceiling on the front fascia of the building. For these, we request a separate fee of generally $10 a window up to 5-10 windows.  If there’s a lot more windows that need to be cleaned, we set up a routine window cleaning service with our route cleaners. Some of our requests, at different times, depending on the size of the room, are to put in an air freshener so that if there are internal plumbing issues, the smell does not overwhelm the property. As you can imagine, putting an air freshener on does not do anything but mask the smell. Our solution is to make sure that we are pouring either bleach, enzymes, or hot water down the drains to kill off any buildup or smell. Enzymes are a good bacteria that will eat up mold and mildew and eliminate smells. These are great for floor drains, as well as in sinks and any other drain the water will remain stagnant and need to be pushed through. Bleach and water can do the same. Are you a property manager that has a long list of tasks to complete everyday? The last thing you want to be doing is making sure the condominiums you own have clean common areas. That is where we come into play. JaniServ will clean the properties’ common areas, so you don’t have to.  JaniServ is a professional cleaning service that you can trust. We offer a wide range of commercial cleaning services from financial institutions to medical clinics. Our services can clean all buildings and provide a clean, safe environment for all.

Best Janitorial Cleaning Service in Salt Lake City, Utah

Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, is a metropolitan area that is home to many businesses and companies. These businesses draw in many tourists and locals alike, which contributes to the hustle and bustle of the city. It has a strong tourist industry centered around skiing and other outdoor activities as well as large shopping centers for everyones’ needs. Janitorial Cleaning Request in Salt Lake City Jani-Serv provides janitorial services for a commercial office space. This commercial building includes a booking store, an accounting office as well as marketing businesses and lawyers offices. Our client requested that we clean the tenant spaces as well as the common areas. For this particular client, our services are included in the rental agreement for the property. This allows for multiple spaces to be cleaned within the complex. Usually, for a Class A or multi-tenant building, it depends on the lease agreement given by the property manager. In many lease agreements the tenants have the option to hire their own cleaning service or a cleaning service will be provided to them with the cost added on to their rent. Sometimes it helps to have cleaning built in to your rent, depending on what area of the country you are in.   HIPPA Compliant Cleaning The type of businesses in this space require that Jani-Serv is HIPAA compliant when cleaning their office spaces. Our staff is properly trained on what areas they have access to and those they don’t. We keep a record of the cleaning contract information and the door and alarm codes associated with these offices, so all the information and activity can be documented in accordance with their rules. Every office location has an alarm that lets you into the space   These clients can come to us, based on this information, with any issues or concerns that may come up. We prioritize and value our clients, so we do all we can to protect their privacy and their business. We notify them if an alarm isn’t initially set just to give them an extra bit of security. We aren’t a security company, but we want our clients to feel comfortable with us cleaning their offices and know that they are secure.   The Extra Mile Jani-Serv also has gone the extra mile by replacing the building’s outdated toilet paper and paper towel dispensers with new, modern dispensers. We also installed air fresheners and toilet seat covers in all bathrooms, as well as garbage cans in the stalls of the women’s bathrooms. All dispensers were installed at no cost since we provide the toiletry service. This is a part of a supply management program which our clients can opt-in if interested.   We do our very best to meet our clients’ needs when cleaning their properties. If requested, we will clean these commercial spaces at night. This ensures that the facility is empty, so we don’t interrupt the day to day traffic in and out of the business. Cleaning during closing times also allows us to stay ahead of bacteria buildup that comes from people touching different surfaces.  Our Goal Our goal when cleaning this commercial office building is to manage their supplies and make sure they are not being unnecessarily wasted. For example, making sure the paper towel dispensers don’t dispense too much and filling soap dispensers with foaming soap in order for the product to last longer. Making these small changes saves our client from spending a large amount on products. As a result of the pandemic, we have also been requested to install hand sanitizer stations when available. This building also has aged, natural wood surfaces which we recommended that we apply Murphy’s Oil and wood polish to keep the luster of the wood surfaces. We deep clean the tile floors and provide window cleaning for the two story part of the building on a quarterly basis. We provide these office cleaning services five days a week which allows our clients to have a clean and sanitized space daily. This is especially important that the high traffic areas are cleaned and disinfected daily in order to prevent a buildup of bacteria.  Jani Serv is here to provide cleaning and sanitizing services for any commercial or office space. We know the value of keeping your business safe and clean. Contact us today for more information and a quote.

Jared’s version of how Jani-Serv, Inc. Started in 2002

Hey, I’m  Jared Twilley.  Owner of Jani-Serv, Inc. in Utah Why I Started Jani-Serv, Inc. Why did I start a family cleaning service? Finding out that I was going to have a baby in 9 months and I only had 6 months of college, I freaked out! How am I ever going to be able to take care of my new family? We have only been married for about a year & still can’t quite figure out what I want to do. I know that I always wanted to have a business ever since I was 10 years old. I knew that that was something that a lot of my relatives had done.  Grandpa Dean had been a truck driver & then eventually owned a Service Station in Creston, Iowa in the 1950-1970’s. Grandpa and Grandma then owned about 1000 acres of farm in Iowa by retirement age. I had another Grandpa that worked at NASA on the Apollo 13 project. There was an Uncle that had his own Chiropractic Office & Aunt owned Real Estate. About this time my oldest brother also was a few years into a successful Lapel Pin business and Pool Store Then there were all those friends I knew that did MLM’s & owned Kiosk’s in the Mall and so much more. What am I going to do? I struggled with being a little Dyslexic and having been told I have ADD my whole life, Mom &  Dad told me to learn to live with it & to try harder!  But seriously, How in the world am I going to take care of a new family? I am just barely 21 with little education and I have tried a bunch of jobs and after 10-15 jobs & nothing was a good fit by age 22 and now a baby! Then there was the competition in Utah. I felt that everyone was so highly educated and I only had 6 months of school and a really great personality to offer but that was it. I could work hard and didn’t mind changing jobs or states much. Growing up I moved to 9 or 10 states because my Dads work. Everyone asks, was it Military that moved you around so much? No, my parents actually met as medics in the Vietnam War while serving our country. My Dad got a job in the Hospitality Industry after the War while taking business class at UCLA. He used his Military training and amazing education to move up the ladders of success, in Corporate America. He became VP of Operations over 84 Hospitals for a Nationwide Hospital management firm United Health Serve. He is a super stud!! Then he continued in the Service industries with many executive positions in these National & International Service Contract Management Firms. Then moved into more of Sales to these firms offering the equipment from the manufacturer of cleaning machines. My Dad is a super stud & I love the man! Then came the acquisitions of his employers. Even though my Dad did amazing things for the companies and grew them 300% past goal in the first quarter, they sold the business. Then the new owners would gut the companies etc. Then my Dad would crush it again for another and He would get new areas to grow and we would move. Then acquisitions again and the cycle played over and over again. My Dad was as great as the next Dad, working hard to provide & get us a nice home in a nice neighborhood etc. The cost was he would travel & we would only see him on the weekends as he pursued providing the best way He knew how. Okay so, fast forward to ME with my new family and what I need to do. With only 6 months of school & really had no solid job experience. Well except the 15-20 service jobs, assistant painter, car sales, lawn care, waiter, loan officer assistant, CNA without the Certification taking care of Old Folks- (loved it). On and on I changed jobs. But I need to grow up and get it together man! So,I called my Dad and asked him what I should do. I told him everything & that I was scared. He told me, my brother was also thinking things over now that he finished college. My older brother is a lot like my Dad, super smart and graduated summa cum laude in ½ the time most people take college. Dad told me that maybe the 3 of us could start a commercial cleaning service. He specifically said  “Jared, I have met the owners of these companies and you don’t have to be that smart.” Really, this is for me Dad. I can physically work but I don’t have all the smarts my Dad and brother have. I would offer my body to the cause haha. My wife and I lived in Utah at the time and she had a good job, savings & insurance.Then I gave her more great news. My Dad thinks we should start this in Arizona with Him and my brother. So, I told my 5 month pregnant wife “stay at your job & move in with your Mom & Dad again, I will go to Arizona and become magically successful!” HAHAHAHA, I can only imagine the conversations all my new In-laws had about me!!.  Well, guess what,  it was really hard and we didn’t know where to start. I would sit at my parents’ pool side and swim while working on my tan and think about what the heck I am doing.Other than getting a really nice tan and working out, We had no work for at least 2 months. Then we got a break from someone my Dad sold equipment to. Building One was the company that offered us to be a subcontractor cleaning floors. I offered my skills of a healthy body to  work 7 nights a week 10pm -6 am cleaning KMART on 89th

The Significance Of Cleaning Walls & Ceilings

Keeping walls and ceilings clean is an important part of a healthy business environment. Cleaning these surfaces can improve air quality, reduce allergens, and make your living or working space more pleasant. At Jani-Serv, we understand the importance of keeping walls and ceilings clean and are here to help you with any cleaning services you may need. Let’s discuss why it is so important to keep walls and ceilings clean, and how you can take steps to make sure these areas don’t get dirty in the first place. With our professional advice on wall and ceiling care, you can ensure your business remains comfortable and inviting for many years to come! Quick Links How Do They Get Dirty? Benefits Of Cleaning How To Clean Hazards Of Not Cleaning How Often To Clean How Do Walls & Ceilings Get Dirty? When it comes to cleaning your workspace (or any indoor area), many people look down at the floors and concentrate only on frequently used areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, conference rooms, etc. Unfortunately, just as much dirt and grime can accumulate on walls and ceilings as on lower surfaces. Though it is more difficult and time-consuming, cleaning hard-to-reach areas is a crucial part of proper building maintenance. Dust is the accumulation of many different airborne particles, such as pollen, dirt, smoke, and even dead skin. Many of these particles fall to the floor and accumulate in corners or on unused surfaces, but they also float up to the ceiling and stick to walls. Once an accumulation of dust forms, particulates attach to them much more easily than they could attach to smooth surfaces, which means ignored dust and dirt will always lead to more dust and dirt! Aside from the “dust bunnies” you may see lurking in the corners of ceilings and walls, even basic spills and stains can often go unnoticed in these areas. Think about the last time you knocked over a beverage and it spilled on the floor. The last direction you would think to look is up, but this is often what causes many wall stains. Splashes and drips go in all directions, and people rarely clean walls as diligently as they clean floors after spills and other messes occur. Walls and ceilings get dirty from the same things that cause floors to get dirty… you just may not be looking hard enough! Benefits Of Cleaning Walls & Ceilings The most important benefit of cleaning walls and ceilings is the improved air quality. Dust, dirt, pollen, and other airborne particles can be breathed in by both humans and animals and cause health problems. By regularly cleaning your walls and ceilings, you will reduce the amount of these harmful particulates floating through your home or workspace. Clean walls and ceilings also make a space look more pleasant! A clean room with freshly painted or polished surfaces is inviting and looks much better than one that’s covered in dust and grime. Cleaning these surfaces has many aesthetic benefits, such as making colors seem brighter and popping out against a freshly cleaned background. Below are just a few of the main benefits of keeping walls and ceilings clean: Good First Impressions Improved Air Quality Protection Of Walls & Ceilings More Efficient Air Conditioning Reduced Allergens & Asthma Triggers Longer Lasting Paint & Finishes Removal Of Smells & Odors Deterrent Of Pests How To Properly Clean Walls & Ceilings Cleaning walls and ceilings may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and techniques, it can be surprisingly simple! Begin by dusting off surfaces with a vacuum or dust mop to remove loose dirt and debris. Be sure to use an attachment that is suitable for reaching higher areas, or you could even use a ladder if necessary. It is also important to remember to remove curtains and blinds that may trap falling dust, and don’t forget about the tops of ceiling fan blades! Once the area has been dusted, use a cleaning solution of your choice to wipe down all affected surfaces. For tougher stains, scrubbing with soap and either a sponge or brush may be needed in order to really get into tough spots, and vinegar can be used where mold is present. Finally, rinse the area with warm water and allow it to dry naturally before applying any paint or wallpaper finishes. Keep in mind these best tools and products for cleaning walls and ceilings: Vacuum with long extensions Microfiber mop with telescoping handle Regular mop and bucket Floor cleaner with neutral pH Dishwashing detergent Sturdy ladder or stepping stool Hazards Of Neglecting Wall & Ceiling Cleanings Neglecting to clean walls and ceilings can lead to a variety of negative consequences. Not only do dirty walls and ceilings look unattractive, but they can also create health hazards for the people living or working in the space. From dust mites and mold buildup to air pollutants, there are many potential dangers that come with neglecting wall and ceiling cleaning. One of the biggest risks associated with not cleaning walls and ceilings is an increase in airborne particles, such as dust, pollen, dander, bacteria, mold spores, and more. All of these particulates can be breathed in by humans within the workspace, which could potentially cause allergies or other respiratory issues if left unchecked over time. Additionally, stagnant water from leaks or spills may accumulate on these surfaces which could lead to mold growth if not addressed quickly enough, which can occasionally lead to complications as serious as lung cancer. The more grime and stains that accumulate on these surfaces, the harder they will be to properly clean and make them safe again. If you are in a confined space for long periods of time for work, one of the best things you can do for your health is ensure that walls and ceilings remain clean. How Often Should You Clean Walls & Ceilings? Though cleaning your walls and ceilings is just as important as cleaning other areas,

Waxing and Refinishing Concrete Floors in Utah

Waxing And Refinishing Concrete Floors In Salt Lake City, Utah Concrete floors need extensive maintenance, especially in commercial buildings. A well-maintained commercial space helps impress your clients and customers, which will increase the chance of getting more business and sales. Keeping your floors in their best condition requires several actions to be performed regularly. When you leave your floors unchecked, they will lose their original appearance and flooring. Aside from cleaning the floor, we should also apply wax and refinishing for a shinier appearance and protection. Jani-Serv, Inc. is a janitorial cleaning company that offers floor cleaning, including waxing and refinishing concrete floors. Waxing and refinishing protect the floor quality and durability from all the cleaning processes. Also, this helps floors to avoid early signs of damage and will last longer.

Every cleaning operation is possible with the use of the most advanced cleaning equipment and a well-trained professional cleaning team.  Here’s Our Recent Waxing And Refinishing of Concrete Floors In Salt Lake City, Utah Previous Next Waxing Waxing is one of the essential factors if you want to keep your business office floors in good shape. But to proceed in waxing your floors, you must strip them first. This procedure will remove any previous wax and finish coats, leaving only the bare flooring. As you maintain your commercial property, floor stripping is the most time-consuming and demanding process. The second step you must follow after stripping your floor of all the old coatings of finish and waxes is to apply sealers. Sealers protect your flooring, and you must use two coats of high-quality sealer so there are no wax leaks. After applying the required number of coats of sealer, you must now apply the wax coat on your floor. Different types of floor waxes are available on the market, and you must choose the wax that best suits your flooring.  Refinishing Refinishing the floor is as essential as waxing, and you should always be partners while doing the process. After you’re done with waxing, you should apply the finish layers on top of the waxed floor. Refinishing helps protect the wax you have applied and decreases the number of dirt marks over time. The final step would be to polish. Floor polishing removes any dust particles from the floor, bringing out the shine of your floor.  When these are done regularly, it increases the life of your concrete floors. Therefore, it would be best to get your commercial floors waxed and refinished monthly, if not weekly, to retain the perfect floor appearance for a long time. You must maintain the clean and presentable appearance of your commercial floors. If you miss out on any of the above, it will be hard for you to achieve the desired result. Therefore, you will need to get your floor waxed more often, which is more costly. For more cleaning tips, visit Jani-Serv, Inc..com, and call us today! REQUEST A FREE QUOTE
