The steam team cleaned our first carpet in 2010, almost a decade later we find ourselves cleaning cars at the local park and ride, scrubbing bathrooms in people’s homes and standing on the roofs of local restaurants talking about how to keep kitchen hoods clean and compliant. Following the can-do, up for any challenge attitude of our leader, David Yohane, and the amazing support of our clients, we’ve grown and become cleaning gurus in many areas. That being said, we are excited to officially launch our maid, janitorial and kitchen hood cleaning services. Why these services you ask? Well, it’s simple, we’ve learned enough about cleaning that we feel we can deliver exceptional value to our clients in these areas, and we think these services, in particular, will make the biggest impact in helping our clients to live healthier and happier lives.
Maid Service
Who uses a maid service? More people than you think, more people than we thought, to be honest. But not surprising, when you actually think about it. Between work, spending time with family and friends, playing chauffeur to your kids and trying to find a bit of time for yourself, who has time to clean? A lot of people have come to realize that having a professional cleaner come in weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly can help create more time to devote to family and friends. Plus, as we’ve discussed before, as cleaning gurus we are probably better at cleaning than you. Don’t get offended, members of our team have actually gone to school to learn how to properly eliminate dust, dander and bacteria that builds up in people’s homes. We leave your home a cleaner and healthier place to live and we do this using our expertise and by following a simple cleaning plan.
Have you ever heard David say, “Cleaning requires a plan”? It’s actually his favourite cleaning tip and its true. If you are going to clean something well, you need a plan. So, you’re probably not surprised to learn that our maid services begin with us meeting with you to develop a specific plan for your home (we only clean what you want us to clean), a cleaning checklist and custom quote.
Equipped with our cleaning expertise, plans and checklists, cleaning homes are one of our favourite things to do, especially pre and post move-in. But we wanted to make an even bigger impact, and so we decided to start cleaning larger spaces where more people spend the vast majority of their time, hence our new janitorial services.
Janitorial Service
As a small local business, we know how important the bottom line is, and we also know that one of the best ways to help increase that bottom line is to create a good environment for employees. A clean workplace is proven to increase employee morale and productivity, and decrease leave due to illness. When you think about it, these facts make sense. Who wants to work in a dirty space and how many of us have put off a somewhat challenging or dreaded task by stopping for a quick second to empty the dishwasher or run the vacuum cleaner? Basically, clean workspaces mean happier, healthier and more productive people.
You can see our standard janitorial service offering here, but don’t be shy to ask for a custom plan for your business, as you know how much we love a good challenge.
As a little something extra, from one business to another, we also offer our janitorial clients a complimentary steam cleaning of their carpets and area rugs each year. Having your carpets professionally cleaned keeps them looking like new and removes the dirt, dander and bacteria that builds up within carpet and contributes to employee illnesses.
While keeping your home and workspace clean is important for your health, if you own a restaurant, keeping your hood exhaust system is not only good for your health, but also required for your safety.
Kitchen Hood Cleaning
To maintain compliance and ensure the health and safety of your staff and clients, how often do you need to clean your hood exhaust system? Depending on the type and volume of cooking, cleanings may need to take place as often as once a month. You can visit our new hood cleaning website for more details on how often you should be cleaning your exhaust system.
Our newest venture, the Steamwise team became certified hood cleaners in early 2019. Our services are NFPA compliant and include:
- Cleaning of your hood canopy, filters, vertical and horizontal ducts and roof fans
- Lubrication of motor and fan bearings on your roof
- Replacement of belts and roof grease pads as needed
- Before and after pictures of your hood
- A detailed report outlining the work we completed
