Checkers Cleaning Supply Blog

The definition of cleaning is to make something free of dirt, marks, or mess, especially by washing, wiping, or brushing. But, things get a bit more complicated when you add terms like disinfect and sanitize. 

Restaurants, health care facilities, spas and gyms require a certain level of clean to keep people safe and healthy. But each industry has different needs and standards they must meet. We’re going to break down the terminology to help you determine what your needs are. 

When it comes to your cleaning budget, you must make the best choices for your company’s situation. Labour is typically the biggest item on the list, so if there is an opportunity to be more efficient, it will impact your bottom line. When you invest in appropriate equipment, you increase the capacity of your staff, therefore affecting your bottom line. 

Consider the mop and bucket. It is the standard tool of the trade in many buildings and has been for years. But when you consider the advances in technology, is it time to invest in a new method? After all, we no longer use manual typewriters or depend on fax machines to transport information. 

Are you tired of having dull results from your current floor waxing technique? Not getting that high-shine you were hoping for? Never fear, we have done the research, tested it ourselves, and would like to introduce you to The Aragon System.

Inspired by one of our long-time employees Esther Aragon, we have cracked the code to getting the most superior floor finish, every time.

Ready to get started? Here's what you'll need. 

• Floor Wax (we suggest Betco Untouchable, Betco Hybrid, or Betco Hard as Nails)
• Floor Stripper (Betco Ax-It Plus Floor Stripper should do the trick!)
• Microfibre Mop (don't forget the frame and handle too!) 
• Neutral Floor Cleaner (try Betco pH7 Neutral for best results)
