Beyond having the right chemicals, equipment, staff and training for an account; there are endless things both small and large that make a service great.  Things like customer communication, quality control programs, total building maintenance solutions and advanced planning all go into providing a service that takes the headaches away from clients when it comes to having a clean building." said Cheyne Brokate, Operations Manager for &lt;a href="http://bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all of those things in mind, Brokate Janitorial continues to strive to improve it's level of service, quality of cleaning, competitiveness in pricing and &lt;a href="http://www.bransonofficecleaning.com/"&gt;service offerings&lt;/a&gt; and service with a smile.  "You will not find another company out there that cares as much about the happiness of those that occupy the facilities we clean as Brokate Janitorial does. This isn't just with management, but something we build into every aspect of our training and ongoing communication with all employees in our organization. We truly operate as a team with our end goal of customers loving our work and the employees that bend over backwards to keep them happy." stated Jeremy Brokate, Office Manager.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it's too soon to announce the specifics of what changes are coming to &lt;a href="http://bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt;, the news promises to be worth the wait! "I am very excited to start rolling out some of the new things we are working on.  It's going to provide a new level of service and quality to Brokate Janitorial and keep us on the cutting edge of technological advances for our industry." said Quality Control Manager Jason Brokate.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned for the news or call Brokate Janitorial at (417)338-4809 to schedule a Free Estimate for any and all of your cleaning service needs.

Located just South of the Hollister, MO exit on Hwy 65, Branson Creek is located in close proximity to the brand new Branson Airport. These new model homes are just the start of what looks to be an amazing community of homes. &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; was excited to help the model homes become ready for their first open house weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like all construction sites, there was plenty of dust, debris,&amp;nbsp;over-spray, and other traces left behind from the contractors who helped construct these homes. &amp;nbsp;Judging by the finished product, it looked like they all did a great job. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, many&amp;nbsp;Realtors&amp;nbsp;and potential home buyers would never truly appreciate this work without the home looking and smelling brand-new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While these pictures don't quite capture the essence of the new home smell, &lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; was diligent in its cleaning to make the building look and smell it's absolute best! Brokate Janitorial has special cleaning agents used specifically for construction projects to not only give the place a fresh and clean smell, but also to remove difficult glues and adhesives that often get left behind. &amp;nbsp;With an entire trailer filled with tools, equipment and cleaning agents designed specifically for our &lt;a href="http://www.bransonofficecleaning.com/"&gt;construction cleaning division&lt;/a&gt;, contractors can rest easy knowing each and every project will get done as promised and on-time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at the slideshow below to see not only some &lt;b&gt;incredible&lt;/b&gt; before and afters, but also to appreciate the beauty of these new homes being built in &lt;a href="http://www.mcmillinhomes.com/branson/new-homes/fieldstone-bluffs"&gt;Branson Creek&lt;/a&gt;!

With careful precision and execution, &lt;a href="http://bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; tediously and cautiously removed layer after layer of dust careful not to damage the important items that were needing restored.  Much like the ancient fossils archeologists delicately clean so that they can study and learn the history of them, Brokate Janitorial knows the importance and value of having a construction site fully and properly cleaned so that the new building occupants can fully utilize and appreciate the space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cleaning is much more of a science than many often realize, and taking the proper approach can provide long lasting results. Those buildings that are not sufficiently cleaned in EVERY area before opening often end up having dust and allergens circulating in and around the building immediately.  This makes the job of keeping the facility clean that much more difficult when the areas are not properly cleaned from the start. It can lead to extra expenses in terms of employee health and sickness and added expenses in terms of maintenance costs and repairs.  For the construction company and/or general contractor, it can mean a much longer "Punch List", delays in getting paid and unexpected costs. Having the building cleaned by skilled professionals such as &lt;a href="http://www.bransonofficecleaning.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; will provide value for both the contractor and the building tenant well beyond the costs of having the service done.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brokate Janitorial has over 15 years of commercial cleaning experience in the Branson, Springfield Tri-Lakes area and has provided construction clean up services to hundreds of businesses over that time. Brokate Janitorial knows the ever-changing demands and timelines of construction companies and works with maximum flexibility to ensure deadlines and expectations are met on EVERY job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call Brokate Janitorial at (417)338-4809 to get a cleaning price quote or visit &lt;a href="http://bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial's Website&lt;/a&gt; to learn more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe frameborder="0" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/B7BjvdNRT9I?fs=1" width="425"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or view this Blog which contains many more pictures of our construction cleaning services!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/09/brokate-janitorial-is-music-to.html"&gt;Brokate Janitorial is Music to Construction Company's Ears!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-7069263252711438882?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/7069263252711438882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/7069263252711438882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2010/12/construction-clean-up-branson-mo-fossil.html' title='Construction Clean Up Branson, MO-  Fossil Store'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tq_697wGSdI/TRDoA8V750I/AAAAAAAAACo/gUmyE50gb2A/s72-c/IMAG0090.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-3658493043819654863</id><published>2010-11-29T11:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-29T11:59:33.048-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floor work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hollister'/><title type='text'>Floor Work- Scrub and Wax for Dorgan Weaver Apartments</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/Floor%20Scrub%20and%20Wax%20Dorgan%20Weaver%20Branson%20MO/IMAG0047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="238" src="http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/Floor%20Scrub%20and%20Wax%20Dorgan%20Weaver%20Branson%20MO/IMAG0047.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dorgan Weaver Apartments called on Brokate Janitorial for some floor work to help bring back their floor's shine.

own Office Manager, Jeremy Brokate, took part in Branson's Citizens Academy. &amp;nbsp;The class is an 8-week course designed to showcase the various departments of the city and learn how each one operates to keep the city functioning. The course allows citizens to ask and learn how each department operates and integrates plenty of hands-on experiences to make the course not only educational, but fun as well. Through this course, Jeremy was able to tour the Branson Police Station, Water Treatment Plants and Water Tower, Fire Department, Recycling Center and Rec-Plex/Parks Department, Finance Department, Engineering and Planning and Zoning Departments and the City Hall, Courts and Clerk Department. Each department welcomed questions and comments from the &amp;nbsp;class participants showing just how open and transparent Branson's City Government really is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremy Brokate had this to say of his experience, "I&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;thoroughly enjoyed every week of the Citizen's Academy and learned more than I could have imagined about how our city operates. I have always loved Branson, but now have a new level of respect for those who keep it functioning on a daily basis. &amp;nbsp;I hear so much negative information in the news about other government entities, it's nice to know how many great people we have at our local level. &amp;nbsp;I hope this is just my first step in becoming a more actively engaged Branson citizen, as I learn more ways I can contribute to the continued success of our city."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Becoming more actively engaged in the Ozarks communities that we serve has certainly been a continued goal over the past few years, as our company looks for ways to give back. &amp;nbsp;For those interested in participating in the next Citizen's Academy, it begins on March 21st. &amp;nbsp;You can call or email Branson's Public Information Director, Jerry Adams at (417) 337-8526 or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Brokate Janitorial decided to give this division a custom name and look as it expands its offering beyond just commercial clients to include residential as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What prompted this change?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years Brokate Janitorial has cleaned carpets for countless customers and businesses in town.  Along the way we've had many requests for residential carpet cleaning, but have always focused our efforts specifically for commercial cleaning work, with added services like carpet cleaning to simply things for our customers.  We have also used many of the companies in town to provide services for our customers when we didn't have the time to do the work ourselves.  While some of these companies have done great work, others have caused us frustration and problems.  Needless to say, we eventually decided it was time to invest in additional equipment and time to provide our clients with the kind of detail and quality work they have come to expect from Brokate Janitorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By doing so, this investment has given us the opportunity to service residential customers as well to receiving the highest level of quality cleaning, competitive pricing AND top-notch customer service to keep our customers coming back time and time again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is &lt;a href="http://www.cleaningtheozarks.com/"&gt;All Star Carpet Care&lt;/a&gt; all about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Star Carpet and Floor Care’s goal is to create Lifetime Customers that will work together to keep carpets and floors looking their absolute BEST.

The Branson Cedar Ridge Elementary school was packed full of cars, with hundreds of people packed onto the track to give their time, money and energy to raise money for cancer research. &lt;a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=23893&amp;amp;pg=entry"&gt;Relay for Life&lt;/a&gt; is one of Branson's biggest fundraising events of the year and this year certainly didn't disappoint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was &lt;a href="http://bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial's&lt;/a&gt; first year to lead it's own team to raise money and participate in the event and certainly won't be it's last.  "It was a really cool experience to see just how many people in our community came out excited and stayed all through the night for such a worthy cause." said Senior Account Manager Jason Brokate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've gone the last few years to support other teams, and the experience was much more exciting this time around having a team of our own to go through everything with.  We are all excited to double our efforts next year, and have already begun thinking of fundraising ideas.  This time was a learning experience for us all and next year we will be much more prepared and enthusiastic." said Team Leader Margie Brokate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides raising money to help find a cure for cancer, the event also pays tribute to those who have lost their lives from the terrible disease during it's touching &lt;a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?sid=1014&amp;type=fr_informational&amp;pg=informational&amp;fr_id=23893"&gt;Luminaria Ceremony&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who missed out on the event, but are still interested in donating, it's not too late to donate for 2010's Relay for Life! &lt;a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=23893&amp;pg=entry"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt; and then select the Donate button to give your contribution.

In fact, Brokate Janitorial communicates regularly with many other companies around the United States that belong to the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Global Cleaning Association&lt;/span&gt; to discover new ideas, products and methods for everything cleaning related.  It's important to have a network of peers to gather together to implement best practices for handling things like the H1N1 Influenza, learning new ways to clean "green" while not driving up costs and how to give customers the most "Bang for their Buck."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; hopes to continue to service more and more businesses in Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Branson and Hollister areas that are looking for both quality and value.

What Springfield, Ozark, Nixa and Branson Businesses need to do NOW!</title><content type='html'>It's officially Spring, and every good cleaning company knows what that means! No, not Spring Cleaning, but baseball season. You see while many individuals and companies see Spring as a chance to focus on cleaning things up a bit, &lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; works around-the-clock, all year long to prevent that need for "Spring Cleaning." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, we are able to continue to "Play Ball" in our facilities for both our day and night cleans. Baseball season, however, is something we can definitely get excited about.  While I won't speak on behalf of everybody at Brokate Janitorial, I can say that many look forward to rooting for both the Springfield and St. Louis Cardinals and Albert Pujols for another season.  Last year, we marveled along with all of baseball as Pujols finished his season batting .327 and hitting 47 home runs, proving yet again that he is one of the most consistent hitters in baseball. That equates to 186 hits out of 568 at-bats.  That means that the best player in baseball failed to get a hit in his other 382 at-bats. While baseball players are afforded the luxury of being able to make mistakes day-in and day-out, many of us are not so lucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each profession has a different margin of error. Some mistakes are far more costly than others, while some professions allow for a certain level of mistakes due to the complexity of the job.  In the commercial cleaning industry, companies expect near perfection from the companies they hire to come to bat for them each night. Medical facilities need to be sterile for the next day's patients and offices need to be cleaned, dusted and ready for another day of taking care of business. Sales offices need clean areas for both themselves to mentally prepare for the next pitch, as well as any clients they may encounter face-to-face so that the focus can be on their product or service and not the cobwebs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why establishing a clear "game plan" from the start is essential before ever stepping in the box(facility).  While the margin of error is much smaller than baseball, cleaning companies need to be prepared for inevitable errors and mistakes. This is where the importance of having a good management team is essential.  Like a batter struggling at the plate, a good cleaning company needs to have the proper oversight and direction to keep it's players doing the correct things, consistently.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A good manager knows how to utilize the strengths and weaknesses of each member of his team, which spots to use them in and when to bench them.  Many of the decisions are not easy, but having management in place that takes action and continues to work towards improving the team each and every day, gives everybody the greatest chances of success. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How has your cleaning company adapted to your evolving needs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you feel your cleaning coming may be playing "small-ball" to your Big-League needs, give &lt;a href="http://www.bransonofficecleaning.com/cleaning-quotes.htm"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; a call at (417) 338-4809 to go to bat for you.

Buildings all over town become prime targets for those creatures of the night.  The darkness of a building triggers them to action. For Brokate Janitorial, this is much like the Bat-signal, that shines out of a building in need. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For many accounts, their nightly facility cleaners are either considered heroes or villains.  They either fly into their account each night and transform their building into a sparkling clean-slate by morning for all to enjoy, OR they are the much talked and griped about villains that do as little as possible each night.  Some facilities go through Joker after Joker looking for that caped-crusader of the night to finally show up and save the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting the right hero to show up and make your facility look exactly how you want it to is, however, more complicated than simply opening up the telephone book and calling everyone listed.  Establishing a clear set of tasks that you would like to be performed from the start makes the chances of a successful cleaning program much higher.  The second point, is getting input from everybody in the office and letting them all know what is and isn't going to be expected from the outfit you hire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creating a nightly cleaning program for your facility can be as easy or complicated as somebody wants to make it.  It can be as cheap or as costly too. Some very important questions to ask when looking to restore the balance between cost and results are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.) Is your company licensed, bonded and insured?  It only takes one door left unlocked, alarm not set, chemicals spilling on a computer or expensive machine, broken glass pane...the list can go on and on, to make that cheap cleaning guy/lady suddenly seem like the MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE option. Or how about hiring somebody like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ky3.com/news/local/83149477.html"&gt;Osage Beach Police say Cleaning Lady Stole Clients' Property&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.) How is the cleaning program going to be trained, monitored, inspected and followed-up with to ensure Quality Assurance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.) How well is your company at adapting to the changes of our facility? Whether it be rapid growth or expansion or cutting back in a sluggish economy, it is important to be able to communicate with your company the current needs and have them react quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here at Brokate Janitorial, we are not only happy to answer all of the questions above, but we also go into each facility with a list of questions, ideas and suggestions to help create a custom cleaning program that will work for you. We want to form a lasting relationship that will leave both sides feeling mutual appreciation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the words of Enrique Iglesias, Brokate Janitorial kindly asks you to, "Let Me Be Your Hero"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-8701333490267398935?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/8701333490267398935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/8701333490267398935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2010/03/heroes-of-night.html' title='Heroes of the Night'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-5356092561773309363</id><published>2010-02-05T08:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:24:33.164-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='springfield'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>A Tough Economy, an Even Tougher America</title><content type='html'>Another year has come and gone. For most people 2009 was a tough year that won't be missed. With unemployment rates very high across the nation, the economy in Southwest Missouri was feeling some of that impact too.  Tourism was down, but not gone. A few companies went under, while many others made tough decisions on how to cut expenses and who to lay off. Yet many people remain hopeful and confident in our country to get back on it's feet and back into prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Brokate Janitorial, 2009 was a year of milestones. This year Brokate Janitorial gained more business, hired more employee's and went into unchartered waters with new business ventures. All year, the focus of everybody within the company was keeping focused on the task at hand and doing our absolute best at it. We all have felt so fortunate to serve so many businesses in 417 Land and provide more and more families with a means to support themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With so many more people in our area looking for work, trying to keep their businesses afloat, the importance of doing business locally cannot be understated.  Not only will you be directly helping the businesses you choose to support, but in turn the dollars they receive will then be passed on to another local business. It's a ripple effect that could have tremendous ramifications if everybody did their part to help one another out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, it's up to us individually and as a community to help each other out and not rely on our government to come to our rescue with handouts. Our company is an absolute believer in the American Dream and idea that anybody can succeed if they are willing to "roll-up their sleeves," not be afraid to get a little dirty and do what needs to be done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Jeremy Brokate, Office Manager for Brokate Janitorial, this year's motto is "First and 10, let's do it again!" He goes on to explain, "We were very fortunate to have such a great year last year.  We give all the praise and credit to the hard-working employees of our company that did such a great job in every facet of our business. We just want to keep that momentum going and inch closer to that goal."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully this nose-to-the-ground, never-give up attitude that is instilled in so many Americans can bring this nation back on its feet quickly and moving in the right direction again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-5356092561773309363?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/5356092561773309363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/5356092561773309363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2010/02/tough-economy-even-tougher-america.html' title='A Tough Economy, an Even Tougher America'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-3427941468553200281</id><published>2009-09-11T08:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:24:00.236-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='springfield'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tips'/><title type='text'>Brokate Janitorial is Music to Construction Company's Ears!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w715.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/147defbd.pbw" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do large construction projects and symphony orchestras have in common?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is a lot more than people would initially think. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both groups are formed by combining a wide-variety of individuals, each with their own set of talents, together for a sole purpose of taking a piece from start to finish. Both require careful planning, coordination, timing and precision to make the end result work for its audience. Both are unique art-forms in their own right. While orchestras put together ranging sounds from various string, horn, brass, percussion and woodwind instruments; a construction project brings in electricians, plumbers, builders, architects and of course, commercial cleaners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While every electrician, plumber, builder and architect is vital in their own right to bring a project to fruition, the commercial cleaners provide a very different value to the project. The commercial cleaner takes no credit for the design or functionality of the project being completed, but is vital to making all of the other contractor's work shine. In using it in the metaphor, other contractors form the various instruments in an orchestra that weave in and out of the piece, while the commercial cleaners serve as the silence that occurs just between that music stopping and the audience erupting in applause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using a &lt;a href="http://www.bransonofficecleaning.com/services.htm#construction cleaning"&gt;professional Construction Clean-Up company &lt;/a&gt; such as Brokate Janitorial is often underestimated. The Clean-Up company allows both the construction company and its' hired contractors a much smaller "Punch-List" at the end, and by making the building look clean and new, the owners generally release the retainage in a much shorter time. That means the job gets paid fully much faster, making everyone happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the owners, it provides a sense of completion and appreciation for the work that all of the contractors came together to complete. The owner needs to see the clean look and smell of its building to know the project is actually complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; provides all types of reliable, flexible Construction Clean-Up services from trash and dust removal throughout the projects early stages, to the very deep and detailed cleaning services on an almost finished project. Those services include but are not limited to: VCT Floor Scrubbing and Waxing, Outside and Inside Window Cleaning, Floor-to-Ceiling dust and residue removal,trash removal, cabinet cleaning inside and out and carpet cleaning. From "rough-to-fluff" Brokate Janitorial does it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; also offers one free service with every construction project it works on, that "new-building" smell. With all Brokate Janitorial can do for a construction project, it should sound like a mighty good option for construction companies!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-3427941468553200281?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/3427941468553200281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/3427941468553200281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/09/brokate-janitorial-is-music-to.html' title='Brokate Janitorial is Music to Construction Company&apos;s Ears!'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-5104167108852174155</id><published>2009-06-05T09:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:23:17.380-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='springfield'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tips'/><title type='text'>Costs vs Expenses vs Value</title><content type='html'>In these difficult economic times, cost and expenses are being looked at even closer than ever by individuals and businesses. How much is being spent on groceries? Insurance? Taxes? The kid down the street that mows the lawn. Those faced with a tight budget(or tightening budgets of their own to prepare for the worst) are constantly looking for ways to cut costs and expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what is cost, anyways? Most people think in terms of cost as a function of how much is spent from your pocket or checking account to obtain certain items or services. And indeed that is true...for the most part.  Their is another side to cost that most people don't naturally think about in their day-to-day lives.  This side of cost is the result of not buying a certain product/service or opting for an inferior product.  While eliminating frivilous and unnecessary costs is always a prudent measure for improving ones overall bottom line and operating under a more responsible budget, many people can mistakenly go too far and cut "costs" that were indeed necessary and prudent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this happens, people and businesses experience an even greater cost later on.  For example, if a company chooses to cut its landscaping and yard mowing services from its expenses an indirect result of that could be reduced business and traffic to their location because of the unsightly grass that gives the appearance of a rundown, ill-kept property.  For &lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt;, we see this far too often with companies considering their janitorial and maintenance needs for their facilities. Often times a company will opt for the lowest bid regardless of other factors in hopes to keep costs low.  What happens almost as often, however, is that we will get calls from these same companies down the road looking to fix the poor work done by other companies.  This is not too suggest, however, that you should always go with the highest price either. You don't always get what you pay for, but the more you research and consider all factors the better your purchasing decision will be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past month we received a call from an account we had managed for 4-5 years and always kept happy and looking great. Last year they sent the services out for bid (per their requirements) and went with a lower PRICED (notice I didn't say COST)company.  Not even 6 months had passed before they were removed from the building and we were called back in to fix the mess they had left us. The next day we received an email from the head of the building excited to see the instant improvement and look of their facility. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just a few small examples of the many ways that people can overlook the overall impact of choosing how to spend their time and money; which for businesses equates to the same thing. How the individuals of a company spend their time is directly related to how much money thier company makes. By focusing on what they do best, and leaving the rest to those more qualified, a company can operate with much greater efficiency and productivity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If cost is a concern for your company, please &lt;a href="http://www.brokatejanitorial.com/contact.htm"&gt;contact&lt;/a&gt; Brokate Janitorial and we can help you receive the most value for your dollar. By properly maintaining your facility, Brokate Janitorial can extend the life and wear of your building for a MUCH lower cost in the long run.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-5104167108852174155?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/5104167108852174155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/5104167108852174155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/06/costs-vs-expenses-vs-value.html' title='Costs vs Expenses vs Value'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-1878608291589144291</id><published>2009-05-26T14:24:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:31:20.770-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floor work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='springfield'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='medical'/><title type='text'>Have Mercy!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w715.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/Mercy/11799a52.pbw" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-1878608291589144291?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/1878608291589144291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/1878608291589144291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/05/have-mercy.html' title='Have Mercy!'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-7667610353475499555</id><published>2009-04-17T10:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:30:49.723-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floor work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='springfield'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='medical'/><title type='text'>Mercy Me!</title><content type='html'>Well-known for it's large number of medical and health options, Springfield opens its doors to another premier facility Mercy Health Plans. While being used for administrative purposes, this new and very impressive facility will further help service those in Southwest Missouri. This two-story building features over 42,000 square feet of office space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brokate Janitorial was very eager to get started on this project and turn another dust-filled construction site into a sparkling clean, ribbon-cutting-ready building. On this project, Brokate Janitorial did everything from cleaning all of the windows inside and out, dusting every surface from top-to-bottom, vacuuming carpets and cabinets, scrubbing and waxing all commercial tile floors, removing tape/gum/adhesive/misc residue, polishing elevators/drinking fountains/ faucets and other bright-work, detailed bathroom cleaning, mopping slate floors and more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When all the electricians, plumbers, roofers, floor-installation crews all finish-up their work, it's our job to show off just how good of a job each and every worker did in constructing and completing this building." comments Cheyne Brokate, Operations Manager at Brokate Janitorial. "Nothing is worse than the owners entering their finished building and smelling and seeing dust inside. We want it to look and smell Brand-New and Clean so everybody can focus their excitement on what their new facility is going to do for them." Cheyne adds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The nice thing about this project was the high-quality materials used throughout the building. From the slate floors and high quality carpet tiles to the stainless steel elevators and modern light fixtures; this building looked great from top-to-bottom.  It just makes everything look that much better after we clean and polish everything!" remarks Margie Brokate, Owner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another project completed for Brokate Janitorial with plenty of before and after pictures to show-off their work.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-7667610353475499555?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/7667610353475499555'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/7667610353475499555'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/04/mercy-me.html' title='Mercy Me!'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-8992089285888228269</id><published>2009-03-24T13:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T15:24:26.688-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floor work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='theaters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><title type='text'>Smooth Sailing in Branson, MO</title><content type='html'>While the economy tries to stay afloat battling turbulent waves of bad economic news and reports, Branson continues full-steam ahead. The city continues its course of economic stability and growth with steady leadership in direction from many of its businesses that have stood the test of time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of those businesses leading the way is the &lt;a href="http://www.showboatbransonbelle.com/"&gt;Showboat Branson Belle&lt;/a&gt;. The Showboat has been a staple of Branson for many years now, providing high quality food and entertainment for all its guests. Situated on one of Branson's most beautiful sites, the Showboat goes on both day and nightly trips on Table Rock Lake allowing its guests to enjoy the natural beauty of the Ozarks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of the natural beauty and scenery that comes free with every ticket, the show also features top-notch dining and entertainment. The 2-hour cruise features a 3 course meal, as well as entertainment from such acts as Todd Oliver and friends, &lt;em&gt;The Showstoppers!&lt;/em&gt; and comedy from Christopher James. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shows run from March through December, with both afternoon and evening shows available. During it's downtime this past year, the Showboat did many renovations to keep the Showboat in tip-top shape and to ensure the guests enjoy the best experience possible. After all the work was done, they called in &lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; to come clean-up and get things ready for their inaugural cruise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We were very excited about the challenge of working on a facility of that size located on the water. While we encountered a few obstacles from how we would handle a traditional building, we pulled it all together with some teamwork and proper planning and got it spotless from the top on down." said Margie Brokate, Owner of Brokate Janitorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; considers themselves very fortunate to continue to take on new projects during a time where other areas are cutting back tremendously. "Recession? I'm too busy to participate in that." jokes Jason Brokate, Account Manger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"While many towns, companies and individuals are having to make the tough choices on where to make cuts, Branson, our customers and all of us at Brokate Janitorial seem to be pushing forward filling up calendar spots and working harder than ever! I feel so lucky to live in such a wonderful area." comments Jeremy Brokate, Office Manager at Brokate Janitorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am very pleased with how smoothly this project came together and was completed. The bigger the challenge a project is, the more I get excited about it and wrapped up in planning." said Cheyne Brokate, Operations Manager at Brokate Janitorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you'd are looking to soak in the natural beauty of the Ozarks and Table Rock Lake, enjoy some fine-dining and top quality entertainment head on down the The Showboat Branson Belle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALL ABOARD! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial's Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial's Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w715.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http%3A%2F%2Fw715.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fww155%2Fbrokatejanitorial%2FShowboat%2Fd1d09009.pbw" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-8992089285888228269?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/8992089285888228269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/8992089285888228269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/03/smooth-sailing-in-branson-mo.html' title='Smooth Sailing in Branson, MO'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-1959565667883170058</id><published>2009-03-24T08:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:29:26.994-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floor work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='restaurants'/><title type='text'>Branson Grows Hungry for New Dining Options!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w715.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/JimmyJsandPennyGs/c93dfde2.pbw" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-1959565667883170058?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/1959565667883170058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/1959565667883170058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/03/branson-grows-hungry-for-new-dining_24.html' title='Branson Grows Hungry for New Dining Options!'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-7162314897040373636</id><published>2009-03-20T11:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:29:06.110-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floor work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='restaurants'/><title type='text'>Branson Grows Hungry for New Dining Options!</title><content type='html'>Two new wonderful dining options have come to Branson to offer locals and tourists a-like some new variety of menu selections right on the Strip.  Both names are well known both in our area and afar, but for very different reasons!  Who are these caped-crusaders that have come to our rescue with new spices and flavoring to fill our empty bellies?  Well the first one is &lt;a href="http://www.pennygilley.com/LouisianaFixins.html"&gt;Penny Gilley's Louisiana Fixin's&lt;/a&gt;.  The Gilley name is no stranger to Branson, but Penny comes to town from down south and brings with her a delicious array of Louisiana flavor. If your a Po' Boy or Girl looking to eat on a budget, you enjoy a delicious Po' Boy sandwich with Shrimp, Oyster or Chicken for $6.49.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second name that has expanded into Branson is &lt;a href="http://www.jimmyjohns.com/"&gt;Jimmy John's&lt;/a&gt;.  Those who have heard of or eaten at Jimmy John's know it's famous for its Delicious sub sandwiches, using all fresh ingredients all for a VERY LOW price. If you don't like veggies on your sub, they even offer "Slim" sandwiches at reduced prices. This is also a great late night option that even delivers the food right to your door!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; was excited to help both of these locations prepare for their Grand Openings by getting them clean and sparkling with floors so clean you could eat off of them! (But we recommend eating at one of the many tables) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone at Brokate Janitorial was eager to help both of these locations open their doors, so that we could be the first in line to get a taste! I hope everyone that dines in Branson gives these two places a try!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C'est Bon!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-7162314897040373636?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/7162314897040373636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/7162314897040373636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/03/branson-grows-hungry-for-new-dining.html' title='Branson Grows Hungry for New Dining Options!'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-2294327537848304880</id><published>2009-03-04T10:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:28:35.520-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='theaters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><title type='text'>Hay....This Place Looks GOOD!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w715.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/Haygoods/8815a52e.pbw" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-2294327537848304880?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/2294327537848304880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/2294327537848304880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/03/haythis-place-looks-good_04.html' title='Hay....This Place Looks GOOD!'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-3947009431589286218</id><published>2009-03-04T09:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:28:22.862-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='theaters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><title type='text'>Hay.......This Place Looks GOOD!</title><content type='html'>From one family act to another, Brokate Janitorial tips it's cap to all the Haygoods on their latest milestone they have achieved.  Last night, the Haygoods kicked off their debut show at their Brand-New Americana Theater.  With fellow acts Tony Roi: The Elvis Experience, Red, Hot&amp; Blue and Cassandre: Voice of an Angel, the Americana is sure to provide round the clock entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show was entirely new and featured many spectacular moments that are sure to have people talking about after the show, and to their friends and family back home.  While we won't give away any of the details of the show, we will say it featured some of the best elements of Country, Rock, Irish Celtic, Classic and Love songs both old and new. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brokate Janitorial was pleased to relax and enjoy such a high quality show after several days of hard work helping to get the renovations clean and ready for opening night. Tim Haygood had this to say after we finished up, "A huge thank you to Brokate Janitorial for really pulling through at the last&lt;br /&gt;minute! The New Americana Theatre is a dream come true. THANK YOU."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Having known and watched the Haygoods progress over the years, it was nice to be a part of their excitement as they prepared for their very first show in a theater they could truly call home." commented Cheyne Brokate, Operations Manager for Brokate Janitorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the dust all settled, and was removed and returned to its natural habitat by Brokate Janitorial, and the debut night came to a conclusion, the audience erupted in applause.  Margie Brokate, Owner of Brokate Janitorial had this to say after the show, "I am just blown away at how good their show was this year.  Every year it just keeps getting better and better!  They are the future of Branson and are going to be so successful!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-3947009431589286218?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/3947009431589286218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/3947009431589286218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/03/haythis-place-looks-good.html' title='Hay.......This Place Looks GOOD!'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-1276885782276331049</id><published>2009-02-18T13:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:27:51.370-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floor work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='theaters'/><title type='text'>Branson's HOTTEST...

Floors!</title><content type='html'>Anybody who has ever been or heard anything about Branson, will generally use the same word to sum the town up. SHOWS! Branson is famous for having more seats than Broadway, offering a wide-array of shows all over town to appeal to its residents and tourists looking for a night out on the town. Millions of tourists come every year and pack in the theaters, clean out the concession counters and plop down for some high-quality entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that kind of demand (and limited road choices) residents and tourists a-like can expect some heavy traffic both in and outside the theaters. This is why Brokate Janitorial takes pride in handling all of the cleaning needs of several of the top theaters in town. Whether its the nightly cleaning and maintaining of the theater, cleaning all the carpeting in and around the theater or performing necessary floor work to keep the floors in tip-top shape, Brokate Janitorial is there to help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past week Brokate Janitorial helped Branson's HOTTEST show, at the&lt;a href="http://www.piercearrowtheater.com/"&gt; Pierce Arrow Theater&lt;/a&gt;, have the HOTTEST floors. One of the town's most popular and steady draws, Pierce Arrow is known for providing an electric, high-energy show day-in and day-out. &lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; is proud to be able to help this loyal customer over the years. By bringing in their own high-energy night after night, Brokate Janitorial allows its clients to focus on what they do best all season long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonofficecleaning.com/services.htm#quotes"&gt;Contact Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-8695590204582513615?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/8695590204582513615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/8695590204582513615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/02/bransons-hottest-floors.html' title='Branson&apos;s HOTTEST...

On Saturday, January 24th, the likes of Mike Myers, Tom Hanks, Steve Carell, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Will Ferrell, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and many more turned out for this one day event! The stars were all there gathered in silence as they watched the main attraction dazzle them with their talent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who was this amazing performer that brought all of these talented actors from Hollywood together? &lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial &lt;/a&gt;of course. OK, perhaps the famous Hollywood elite were only made of wax, but to anybody who has walked through the rooms and halls of &lt;a href="http://www.hollywoodwax.com/"&gt;The Hollywood Wax Museum&lt;/a&gt;, they looked as real as could be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hollywood Wax Museum is world famous for its ability to take into account the smallest of details into creating its works of art. With that mindset, Brokate Janitorial knew it needed to deliver flawless floors worthy of the red carpet treatment Hollywood was accustomed to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a long, but rewarding day, Brokate Janitorial finished phase 1 of the 3 part &lt;a href="http://www.bransonofficecleaning.com/services.htm#floor%20scrubbing,%20stripping,%20waxing%20and%20buffing"&gt;floor work&lt;/a&gt; in helping Hollywood Wax Museum with their renovations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think the pictures speak for themselves" said Cheyne Brokate, Operations Manager for Brokate Janitorial, "but we take great pride in our work and were happy with the outcome."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w715.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/Hollywood Wax/023afd1b.pbw" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Not many people can say they helped provide the wax that tourists from around the world come to Branson to see and marvel at." Jeremy Brokate, Office Manager of Brokate Janitorial laughs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So next time you stop in to marvel at the amazing detail and craftmanship at the Hollywood Wax Museum, be sure to take a look down every once in a while to appreciate a different kind of art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-397579816498646023?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/397579816498646023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/397579816498646023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/01/brokate-janitorial-headlines-star.html' title='Brokate Janitorial headlines Star-Studded Event in Branson, Missouri'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-6326428001777484602</id><published>2009-01-29T10:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:34:35.102-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Brokate Janitorial Moves into New Office in Downtown Branson</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=320 height=240 src="http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/Picture186.jpg"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; is very excited to begin giving the city of Branson a public face and place to help the community. Despite serving the Ozarks for over 13 years, Brokate Janitorial has remained relatively unknown outside its' customers. Until recently, Brokate Janitorial gained new business solely through word-of-mouth and basic phone book listings. According to Cheyne Brokate, Operations Manager at Brokate Janitorial, many things have and will continue to change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In the last 5 years, we have really noticed both a need in the community and opportunity for our company to provide the highest level of cleaning service while maintaining a reasonable price. We have become more proactive in our approach and hope to help an even greater number of clients than we do today whether it be for &lt;a href="http://www.bransonofficecleaning.com/services.htm#office%20cleaning"&gt;nightly office cleaning, theatre cleaning, floor work or carpet care &lt;/a&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new office and focus of Brokate Janitorial seems to be just the start for the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Branson is such a wonderful town, with such an eclectic mixture of businesses and people. While entertainment is perhaps the main staple of Branson, you can really see new businesses everyday opening up to cater to those who live in and around the Tri-Lakes area. We hope to be able to help not only new businesses as they come into town, but help as many businesses as we can as they continue to grow and change. What I'm really excited about, however, is our new commitment to helping the city through local organizations and charities. The city has been so good to us, we are looking forward to putting more attention on giving back" said Margie Brokate, Owner of Brokate Janitorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=256 height=192 src="http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/BransonFinancialCenterBransonMissou.jpg"&gt;&lt;/img&gt; &lt;img width=256 height=192 src="http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/Picture184.jpg"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're all very excited about this next year and seeing what kind of difference we can make.  Call it a New Year's resolution if you want, but we are viewing this as a whole new direction and attitude for us," commented Jason Brokate, Account Manager. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all the uncertainty and pessimism surrounding the headlines today, Brokate Janitorial still feels very confident about its business and the Branson area and looks forward to another 13 years of service and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial's Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial's Blog for their latest news&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img width=320 height=240 src="http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww155/brokatejanitorial/Picture190.jpg"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888657851260262643-6326428001777484602?l=brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/6326428001777484602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888657851260262643/posts/default/6326428001777484602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brokatejanitorial.blogspot.com/2009/01/brokate-janitorial-moves-into-new.html' title='Brokate Janitorial Moves into New Office in Downtown Branson'/><author><name>Brokate Janitorial</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10357072160063992164</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888657851260262643.post-8336929508715713684</id><published>2008-10-30T23:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T14:34:09.276-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='springfield'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='branson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='construction cleaning'/><title type='text'>Construction Cleaning</title><content type='html'>Clean up that construction MESS!

It is time to start thinking about Spring. If your office or theater has been closed up all winter to keep out the cold, call &lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com/"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; to let in some sunlight, freshen up the air, and give your office that CLEAN feeling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spring is also more than just a time of year to do a detail clean on your office. It is also a time of year to clean your mind. Start fresh. Here is an article by Terri Levine with tips on how to clean the rest of your office environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spring Cleaning Your Office Face - Business-Coach - Terri Levine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By now, you are counting down the days of Spring and looking forward to all that entails. What is also a good idea for this time of year is preparing your spring cleaning plan. Have a brain storm with everyone in your offices and call for ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some spring clean tips and ideas to get you started:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Filing and paperwork. Are your filing cabinets in need of archiving? Make room for more files and make paperwork easier to handle by "culling" your old files. If you have those that you no longer need to keep, that are outside the statutory limit, throw them away if you think you will no longer be needing them. Archive files you have not used in a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Computer system. As with paperwork, computers hold many files that are not necessary to keep on the computer, but you may wish or need to keep the information. Back up this type of information to disc and free up the space on your computer system. Keep a copy of your backup and archive discs offsite – in case of fire – you want to be able to access that information again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Review your practices and procedures. Are there any new or simpler ways of doing tasks? Maybe your staff have ideas and now is a good time to consider them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Be ruthless and throw out that which is nothing more than clutter. This may be broken, chipped mugs, old magazines and brochures, and anything else you may be hoarding but never use and will likely never use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Need a change? Maybe rearrange the furniture, if practical. This will give you a fresh start into Spring. Maybe there is a more efficient way to set up your room and the office in general?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Would a fresh coat of paint help? Have a look around. If you ever thought of brightening up your surgery or office, now is a good time to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Do a swap of anything ornamental. Change last years vases or paintings and photos with something more up to date, fresh and different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Go through all stationery cupboards and office desks and throw out everything that doesn't work. Many drawers hold pens and staplers that have not worked for years!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Update your magazines, brochures, pamphlets and anything else you have available for waiting patients. If you provide a "toy" area for children, make sure all the toys have been cleaned and disinfected. Throw away anything tacky or broken and replace with safer, newer toys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Mark the first of spring with a vase of fresh flowers – if possible, try to choose low or non-allergic varieties – think about your hayfever and sinus suffering patients!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Spring clean your mind! If your staff always work in perfect harmony, you are very fortunate, however, in some offices, disagreements and disharmony between staff members is not uncommon. So, for you and your staff – suggest they all write down on a slip of paper any grudges they are harboring against anyone else in the office, any gripe about anything at all that affects their mood and productivity during their work day. When complete, these little slips are rolled into small balls – so nobody can read them. Collect them in a bowl and take them somewhere outside or in to the kitchen sink area and burn them! Tell your staff they are spring cleaning their minds… ridding themselves of any old grudges, jealousies, angers etc. Everyone starts the first of spring with fresh slates! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try these tips to clean your mind this spring!

Making sure parking lots are cleared and sidewalks are salted can be a huge task. Keeping customers and employees safe is always top priority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While keeping the outside of your facility snow and ice free can be a challenge in itself, did you also know that it can be extremely hard on the inside of your building, your floors and carpet specifically?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;To prevent damage to your facilities hard surface flooring and carpets, it is important to implement a proactive floor care program.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A few tips to help protect your floors and customers:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h5&gt;1. Seal your floors before bad weather strikes.&lt;br /&gt;2. Clear walkways and parking lots of excess sand and salt after the snow and ice melts.&lt;br /&gt;3. Use plenty of walk off mats. It is recommended that you have mats in place for the first 10 steps inside a main entrance, and 5 steps in any secondary entrance.&lt;br /&gt;4. Mats should be rubber on bottom and cloth on top.&lt;br /&gt;5. Changes mats frequently. A wet mat is a useless mat.&lt;br /&gt;6. Wet floor signs! &lt;br /&gt;7. Always sweep and mop hard surfaces every night, and vacuum all traffic lanes daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bransonjanitorial.com"&gt;Brokate Janitorial&lt;/a&gt; has the experience and knowledge to help you keep your facilities surfaces &lt;b&gt;protected&lt;/b&gt; and looking their best, even in the worst situations.
