AFS Janitorial- A Day in the Life of a Commercial Cleaning Company

TAMPA, Fla. - May 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Green innovation is a trend that many industries have taken under their wing to capitalize on—for the better. So many environmental initiatives are apparent across the workplace; going paperless, decorating your office with plants, recycling your water bottles, riding your bike to work, and so on. Did you ever stop to think of the role "green innovation" plays on your health?

I met Claire Lauria, Director of Marketing for AFS Janitorial, at Starbucks the other day; she was in line ordering seven berry refreshers to bring back to her co-workers at the office. I offered to help her carry them out to her car, and we got to talking. Next thing you know, we are back inside Starbucks discussing the commercial cleaning world. Her facts took me by surprise and her passion for raising awareness through education was astounding. Never in my life have I met someone so excited about janitorial.

When asked how AFS Janitorial is different, she stated “We are green in not only what we use to clean, but our processes and procedures too. Our company has invested a great deal into sustainable innovative equipment and this has a direct effect on indoor air quality. We spend 90% of our time indoors and indoor air pollution is the #1 threat to allergy and asthma sufferers. You tell me if you’d appreciate an allergen-free work environment.”  Examples of this include HEPA-filtered vacuums that do what traditional vacuums cannot; they capture the dust, mites, and allergens. AFS Janitorial also utilizes a Boost Machine that strips a VCT floor chemical-free; just add water. Microfiber systems implemented throughout all cleaning programs clean 99.9% better that cotton. WOW!

Lastly, Lauria left me with this, “To us, quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles. At the end of the day we would rather invest time and money into bringing innovation and green cleaning to one satisfied customer, rather than five customers that we can lose tomorrow because the competition comes in and does it better. Do it right the first time and you’ll never second-guess yourself. We will never stop improving. Whatever comes out next that helps improve the health of a facility—you can mark my word that our customers see it first.”
