What your customer’s see ?

February 22, 2012

Appearance matters, especially for a company that has an image to maintain. Commercial cleaning services not only make your business look beautiful-they impress your clients as well. If you own a business, make sure to set up the following professional cleaning services:
• Entrance
Some of the most vital areas to focus on during building maintenance aren’t even inside the building. A porter groundskeeping service can maintain your front area either daily or weekly, depending on your needs. Trashcan liners will be emptied and replaced, any litter will be picked up and disposed of, and windows, light bulbs, and parking areas will be checked to ensure proper functionality.
• Carpet
Janitorial services are especially important for the interior of your business. With professional carpet cleaning services, you can show your clients that you care about the state of your business. With the latest cleaning equipment, professional cleaners can shampoo your carpet so it looks brand-new. Cleaning your business’ carpets will also help keep you and your employees healthy.
• Building Exterior
Total cleaning services include the exterior of a building. Over time, dust, dirt, mold, and grime can appear on the roof and other external services. Fortunately, a professional power washing treatment can return your exterior to its original pristine condition.
• Windows
Window streaks, residue, and dirt can all harm your credibility when it comes to clients. Whether you have tilts, slides, or fixed-panel windows, they need to be properly cleaned. A commercial window cleaning service can help you get your windows ready to shine for your clients!

A & S Total Cleaning is South Florida’s solution for all of your commercial cleaning needs. Our janitorial and maintenance services will help you impress your clients. For more information, call us at 954 570 1165. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

What to expect from your current Janitorial services provider ?

January 27, 2012

 What to expect from your janitorial service provider ?

While the idea of having your office, building or property cleaned daily seems simply.

Ask yourself how would you feel about cleaning the same place everyday ?  

I know my own personal struggles of keeping myself motivated and engaged , image how any janitorial staff feels as they arrive at work- as you are leaving for the comforts of family, friends and home.

 Take a look at your current service provider’s staff, and you will have a keen insight into the mind of the leadership and heart of that organization.

Are all staff members in uniform ? So team members can be easily identified. 

Are ID Badges worn ? So customers can see our team members have names and are individuals too 

Are managers a consistent presence at the Job site ? Supervision is key for execution of specification , quality and training .

Are Employees using a electronic clock in/ clock out technology ? Security must be monitored , the entry times and departure times are essential for safety.

Does the team cleaning your facility have the specification on hand and in a language they can understand ? Ask to see them 

Have you looked inside the Janitorial closet lately ? All products must be labeled, MSDS sheets are a OSHA mandate  ,and is everything organized for sanitation and inventory .   

Are service request handled within 24 hours ? This should be standard operating procedures  

These are just a few simple things to expect from your current janitorial service provider  

At A&S Total Cleaning , the development of our people is our greatest asset.

What to Look for in a Commercial Cleaning Service

October 11, 2011

What to Look for in a Commercial Cleaning Service

Selecting a commercial cleaning service is no simple task. What qualities should you be looking for?

The best cleaning services are exceptionally reliable, flexible, and skilled at what they do. Read on for more advice on what a top-quality cleaning service has to offer your company:

  • A Solid Reputation

When choosing a professional cleaning service, first check to make sure the company has a proven record of quality work. Ask around, make calls, and do some research online to confirm that a cleaning service has a strong reputation of excellence to back up their claims.

  • A Full Range of Services

Why spend time selecting a cleaning service for one job, only to have to start the process all over again for another task? Look for a cleaning service that can handle most or all of the jobs you need help with. For example, if you’ve choose a company to handle janitorial services that also provides construction cleanup, then you save yourself the trouble of finding another cleaning service that you can count on.

  • Reliability and Flexible Scheduling

Many businesses have a wide range of different schedules and arrangements to juggle. When deciding on a commercial cleaning service, look for one that can offer both daytime and nighttime services as well as a flexible, customizable schedule. The last thing that you want is to have to make a last-minute change in order to accommodate the schedule of your cleaning service.

For the best professional cleaning services in South Florida, call A & S Total Cleaning. We have an acclaimed reputation for reliable janitorial work, porter services, construction cleanup, and more. To learn more about our comprehensive cleaning services, call us at (954) 570 1165.

Final Cleaning South Florida – Is Your Property Ready for Owners Inspection ?

September 28, 2011

Building inspections can be a stressful time for contractors, building managers, and anyone who is in charge of a property. But with the right preparation and help from the right cleaning and maintenance service, getting your building ready for an inspection by the owner will be a breeze.

  • Janitorial Cleanup

If you’re handling one or more buildings as a property manager, then general building maintenance is among your top priorities. A professional cleaning service that specializes in commercial building maintenance can keep your property looking its best. Regular and thorough cleaning and upkeep are the best ways to ensure that your building maintains high standards of cleanliness. Building maintenance crews can customize their work and focus on particular problem areas, so that on the day of inspection, everything will be covered.

  • Construction Help and Cleanup

Contractors often need regular inspection and approval, both during jobs and upon their completion. When a contractor finishes work, there is always a cleaning process that prepares the property to be officially move-in ready. A commercial cleaning service is the best way to make sure that all loose ends following construction are tied and dealt with. Debris and dust from construction should be cleaned and disposed of in preparation for inspection.

  • Grounds Cleaning

Keeping the front and grounds of your property clean and safe maintains a building’s image. With an inspection coming up, don’t forget to ensure that the perimeter of your property is maintained and up to code. A groundskeeping cleaning service should be hired to professionally handle outdoor building maintenance.

The best way to accomplish all of these maintenance goals is to hire a single comprehensive cleaning service. A & S Total Cleaning is your one-stop for professional building maintenance. We also offer handyman services to repair and replace items on your property that must be in good working order. To learn more, give us a call at (954) 570 -1165

What does your business look like to customers ?

September 13, 2011

The exterior of your business is as important as the inside—perhaps even more so, as it’s what ultimately persuades customers to either stay away or come inside. That’s why it’s essential to keep the exterior of your business clean by hiring a skilled porter service. But what exactly do porters do?

  • Groundskeeping

Whether you’re part of a small business, a homeowner’s association, or a shopping center, you have a image to maintain. A professional porter service can come to your place of business and replace outdoor light bulbs, wipe down any cobwebbed exteriors, and perform a whole host of other essential groundskeeping and maintenance tasks.

  • Trash and Waste Removal

Trash will always accumulate in front of your place of business, whether it’s due to the wind or careless customers. Since you’re busy dealing with matters inside, you should hire a porter service to remove both the trash that has been thrown away in the proper receptacles and the debris that has been carelessly cast on the parking lot or other grounds. A porter service will even regularly scrape the gum off the sidewalk!

  • Pressure Cleaning

Over time, sidewalks, awnings, and exterior walls accumulate a level of filth that becomes both unsightly and unhealthy. Using pressure cleaning, a professional porter can carefully and expertly remove the grime and mold from your building’s exterior so your clients will see a clean place to do business with.

  • Regular Service

A lot can change in a week, or even a day. When you hire a porter service on a one-time basis, you’ll notice that the filth returns before too long. That’s why it’s a good idea to hire a porter service to come weekly or even daily if your business sees a lot of traffic.

If you’re looking for a sophisticated, top-of-the-line porter service in South Florida, then contact A & S Total Cleaning. We’ve been providing South Florida homes and businesses with porter, janitorial, and maintenance services since 1989. Could your home or business be in better shape? Give us a call today at (954) 570 -1165 to find out!

Fort Lauderdale Office Cleaning – Preventing Germs In The Workplace

August 9, 2011

Wondering why you are always catching the latest office bug even though you are washing your hands and avoiding people in the office that are sick. There are 5 problem areas where your office could be making you very sick at this very moment without you even knowing about it!

And here’s the really Shocking part:

Many Fort Lauderdale commercial cleaning companies are not aware of these problem area (just ask your current cleaning company!). What’s even worse, many cleaning crews don’t clean these infected office surfaces (listed below) nor are they using the appropriate disinfectants to kill each germ type!

The 6 areas your office could be making you sick at are:

Problem Area #1: The area where you rest your hands on your office desk has an average of 10,000,000 bacteria!

Just because you avoid the sick person at the office it does not mean that your own desk is free of germs in fact your desk may actually be making you sick.

Problem Area #2: The office computer keyboard and mouse you touch with your fingers everyday has an average of 6000 bacteria per square inch!

The office keyboard and mouse is in constant contact with your fingers and if you share your desk as is the case with many people who work customer service jobs the germs will quickly spread.

Before you start your shift wipe down your mouse, keyboard and phone with disinfectant wipes.

Problem Area #3: The office telephone you touch to your face and mouth to every day has an average of 25,000 bacteria on the mouth and ear parts! This area is often not cleaned by Fort Lauderdale commercial cleaning services.

Problem Area #4: DO THIS QUICK TEST NOW: Look at your telephone ear and mouth set and you will see bacteria laden smudges that the cleaning crew never cleans. Yuck!!! A common area many cleaning services in South Florida miss.

Problem Area #5: 77 percent of workers say they come to work sick. Cold and flu viruses can on any common workplace surface that someone touches (such as door knobs, refrigerator handles, counter tops, pens, copy machine and elevator buttons, etc) for up to 72 hours and can cause you to become infected with the virus for up to 3 days from exposure with a contaminated surface.

Spare your coworkers the misery of being sick and do not come to the office if you are not feeling well.

Is your property ready for the storm?

August 3, 2011


There is a big possibility that a tropical storm comes to our area during the weekend. Is your property ready for that event? We can help you before and after the storm.

Precautionary steps should be taken to minimize or eliminate damages to your property before, the beginning of the new hurricane season. In Preparedness for Hurricane Season, A&S Total Cleaning would like to offer our Handyman Services for preparation.

We would evaluate the property, inspect and then provide a proposal/estimate of work scope and pricing. Our focus would be the following important Safety, Protection and Preparedness items:

Preparation for Early Property and Personal Safety

Before hurricane season, we would need to inspect entire property including parking lot and common areas to trim back dead or weak branches from trees and secure all loose items around the property that could become projectiles during the high winds of a hurricane which is important.

Tree Trimming

We should evaluate the trees, to be trimmed by our technician. This will reduce resistance, and tree toppling, from hurricane wind force. During the process our technician would be trimming, cutting out the dead, diseased, and damaged wood, and removal of water sprouts. Also, we would need to remove from trees, any coconuts, fruits, and any fallen debris, which can fly through the air, and cause damages, during a hurricane or tropical wind force. After, we would haul away all debris and branches.

Protecting Windows from Wind and Debris Damage

Evaluating and inspecting windows for hurricane season in which the best way to protect windows from potential damage is with permanent shutters or hurricane impact windows which we can install. If you do not have shutters the next best protection, however, is to put up plywood panels. By measuring and cutting panels long before the storm. One half inch marine plywood is the best option, and marking which board fits which window. Pre-drilling holes every 18 inches for the screws will also save time when preparing for a hurricane.

South Florida Mold Remediation Services

July 13, 2011

Finding the perfect new location for your South Florida home or business can often be a challenge.  Normally when looking for a new location for either your family or business, the things to consider include such things as location, wiring, the condition of the house itself, and several other factors. One of these factors that the home buying public is becoming more concerned with is mold in South Florida.

There are many different types of Mold that can occur in a South Florida home and lead not only to structural damage, but some health concerns as well. South Florida Mold is difficult to find in many homes as it grows exclusively in dark and moist areas that are usually hidden somewhere in the structural areas of the home such as attics, ac ducts or humid basements. By the time South Florida Mold shows up in the actual living areas, chances are that it is all through the home.

One of the most likely places for South Florida Mold to form is anywhere that moisture is improperly vented, so basically everywhere. Another area of concern is if a home has ever flooded and was not completely or properly cleaned and dried after. Leaky plumbing and crawlspaces are other likely candidates. South Florida Mold can be a difficult thing to completely get rid of as the only thing it needs to continue growth is an organic material such as wood, and moisture.

The most likely way that moisture finds its way into the home is through faulty or leaky roofs and foundations. Both of these areas should be checked over by an experienced mold removal professional on a fairly regular basis if there is any worry of South Florida Mold beginning to grow, or if these has been South Florida Mold in the past. South Florida Mold can be an expensive problem to deal with so be pro-active about looking for it can save you money in the long run.

A&S Total Cleaning offers mold remediation in South Florida. Make sure your home or office is move in ready by scheduling a mold remediation appointment today.

Call us know now at 954-570-1165 or visit our website www.totalcleaning.com to coordinate an appointment for a free estimate on this or any of our extensive variety of services.  We look forward to hearing from you soon.
