As in any profession, one must have an suitable workforce to complete tasks at an efficient rate. The same with the janitorial service industry. Janitorial services are actually not about cleaning, they're about management. This industry is compiled of non-skilled labor, which means there's room for error, so proper management is key for janitorial services or office cleaning businesses. Most janitorial businesses are ran from smaller, part-time entrepreneurs who are wanting to get their feet wet with business ventures. Having the proper management technique is crucial to sustaining accounts. Scheduled worksheets that allow employees to check off tasks is key to having great customer satisfaction. And great customer satisfaction leads to higher client retention, word-of-mouth advertising, and most of all, a well ran business!

Can a Janitorial Service do that?

As an office worker, you probably notice your office cleaning company changes your trash liners, but have you ever considered if your janitorial service cleans your air?

Most never consider what's in their carpet around their desk. More over, most professional facilities rarely get their carpets cleaned enough to remove allergens. A new buzz word called Presenteeism has many Human Resource professional scurrying for answers. People are catching on to the fact that allergens such as dust mites, pollen, mold spores and other office toxins are costing companies productivity dollars. Think about it, if you're allergic to dust mites, like most people are, would you sit down and sprinkle it all around your desk every day? No! Why? Because it causes allergy symptoms, and allergy symptoms take time to remedy, and remedying allergy symptoms takes you away from your work. "yea, but they vacuum our carpets." Good point, but most vacuum cleaners only create small invisible hurricanes that hover around the air for a couple hours. OfficeFloss uses healthcare HEPA air cleaners while we dust and vacuum to catch these allergens while also picking up their food source: human dander- gross!

Office cleaning companies here in Nashville work hard to keep your business. Though that's great and all, we are learning more about what's in your office that causes poor environmental health. OfficeFloss is an janitorial service that provides an environment with low amounts of allergens and pathogens so your employees suffer less respiratory symptoms while creating more productivity. Office cleaning is pretty simple stuff, I admit, but there are janitorial services that can actually improve employee health, performance, morale, even take you on your next vacation, well maybe not so, but hey, how would you feel in a germ free, allergen free office?

Cheers,

C'mon, we need services that make sense.

In a time when health care costs and arm-and-a-leg, shouldn't we be doing more to push for a healthier society? Isn't life alone worth more than a repetitive spin through the drive thru? You've heard it here first: an office life guard that blows the whistle when you've consumed too many calories in a day.

In 2009 I launched a company that would improve employee health by reducing office allergens and communal germs. Who wouldn't want to work in a hygienically cleaned office? Well, I'm getting down to the nitty-gritty of American economy: people want easy. I refuse to buy into a franchise fast food joint, though it's highly lucrative, it serves food that I wouldn't let my dog eat. don't get me wrong - it tastes GREAT! But eating it for lunch everyday is an early death sentence.

My previous career was in banking where watched clients and employees exchange the most highly traded object in the world: US currency. I think one worker there was sick more often than not- so much for immunity. My point, we need an overhaul in how we view our health in America. As for me, II'm starting with the Janitorial Services industry. I see a huge demand for newer, better services that can help peeople create healthier lifestyles, reduce medical claims, and enjoy our short time on earth. I'm finding innovation to be much more exciting than the standards we're use to.

As for the Janitorial Service / Office Cleaning services industry, it's a no-brainer - clean, wipe, go home. But OfficeFloss strives to do more. We monitor our clients to see if they suffer less allergies, asthma, colds or flu. We are introducing hospital's Environmental Services to corporate America to see about enhancing Health and Wellness plans. Why not? If I swabbed your office telephone, you would agree.

Lets have Clean year!

While businesses are scrambling to reduce future health care costs through improved employee health, OfficeFloss responds by offering hygienic office cleaning services to reduce allergens, germs, and asthma. Most businesses rarely consider the affects of dust mites, pollen or office germs, yet these simple factors can cost businesses heavily in presenteeism costs. Janitorial services keep costs low through production rates, which is why most hurry through the cleaning process. OfficeFloss is a hygienic Envrionmental Service that uses HEPA air cleaners while dusting and vacuuming to reduce pollen, dust mites, mold spores and other allergens known to slow down employee productivity. OfficeFloss also routinely cleans communal surfaces to reduce bacteria and viral pathogens.

The ramifications of 2009's market crash will create innovation within the market place in the following year. OfficeFloss was borne out of the need to help businesses become more effective and efficient.

OfficeFloss was born out of a passion for politics, commerce, and the on-going healthcare issue. For starters, allow me to express that I believe in capitalism; it brings us innovation, innovation that allows us to enjoy a greater standard of living. But at what point does a capitalistic society realize that an industry has cornered the market by placing our most valuable asset out of financial reach? It seems our personal health has been prepackaged and shipped off to the market next to the bread and milk. I'll say without political conviction that America must return to conservative healthcare plans if we truly wants what's best for society. I even struggle to say "plans," which is what got us into trouble in the first place. 

I believe all Americans should have affordable health care, affordable as in paying off a procedure within a reasonable amount of time. So I agree with Obama wanting to provide this concept to our society; however, it should not be administered through a health insurance plan. As we're finding out, insurance doesn't always give us the peace-of-mind we thought it would, referring to healthcare.  So back to my cleaning business...

I struggle with the mismanagement of health insurance and peoples' perception of how health insurance should serve them. OfficeFloss is my first start-up that makes a small contribution to a healthier society. My primary goal is to alleviate avoidable medical claims that would otherwise increase the risk/cost of group health insurance policies (experience rating). If only by knocking the top couple percentages points off of a policy's risk factor, I will have added much needed conservation to our unhealthy healthcare system. Studies prove hand washing hygiene reduces illness rates by nearly half! Studies also show that a staggering 16 percent of the population wash there hands long enough to remove germs. If we're too lazy to wash our hands, lets wash the next best thing - what we touch!
