Heroes of the Night

Brokate Janitorial Super Heros


The lights of the city go out. 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.

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.

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.

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:

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:

2.) How is the cleaning program going to be trained, monitored, inspected and followed-up with to ensure Quality Assurance?

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.

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.
