The first step we'll take is to identify the odors in your office building. Once they are identified, we will not mask the odors, we will remove them once and for all!

Office cleaning hacks for your Attleboro commercial space

8/19/2020 (Permalink)

As an Attleboro business owner, especially now, it's important for you to have a professional clean and sanitize your office space, retail space, or other commercial properties. However, sometimes you can go the DIY route. 

Steam cleaning

According to the CDC , using steam to clean and sterilize is a safe and effective method. 

Baking soda

If your office kitchen is a bit...stinky... break out the baking soda! Baking soda is the MVP of household (or office) cleaning supplies. Sprinkle some baking soda around the sink, in the trashcan, and in the garbage disposal, if you have one! 

You can also add lemon or orange peels to the garbage disposal and run it to get rid of any foul smells. 

Vinegar

Vinegar is another MVP of household, natural cleaners. Vinegar can help break down gunk and even clean windows! If you need to get those windows streak free and you are in quite a pinch, use some vinegar and wipe away! 

Vinegar can also help remove pen marks, and liven up some old furniture. Use a combo of lemon oil and white vinegar, spray it on your wood surface of choice and use a microfiber cloth to wipe clean! 

Sticky Notes 

Sticky notes are, of course great for taking notes, but they're also great for cleaning up little messes! Using sticky notes to clean crumbs from your keyboard keys, or clean up little tiny messes is very handy and a quick hack! 

If any smells, messes, or other cleaning goes beyond what you can DIY or what your janitorial staff can handle, give SERVPRO of the Attleboros a call at 508-223-0505, we're here to help!!

We are ready to try to make your day and become your master of service

Preparing your commercial space for severe weather - Attleboro, MA

6/29/2020 (Permalink)

Call us at (508) 223-0505, we're here to help!!

North Attleboro 

South Attleboro

This past weekend we saw quite a bit of rain! And with it being hurricane season, we can look forward to seeing some more. 

As a business owner, severe weather can make or break your business if you're not prepared. 50% of businesses don't open back up after a disaster! You don't want to be on that side of the 50%. 

Steps to take prior to severe weather

1: Create a plan: One great way to plan ahead is to contact us for a SERVPRO ERP! This will help you be prepared in the case of an emergency, listing all exits and who to contact.

2: Have essentials on site: It's best to be prepared ahead of time rather than scrambling as the storm is brewing. Some items you should have in the office are 

• Flashlights 
• First aid kit
• Bottled water
• Non-perishable food 
• Batteries 
• Blankets 

Maybe even some board games to keep the employees occupied in case you/they are stuck inside for a long period of time. 

3:  Communicate: Stay in touch with your employees, especially if the severe weather is after or before work hours. Let them know if the office (or warehouse, or other commercial space) is not accessible, power has gone out, or if they need to evacuate or stay inside. If you have clients in and out on a daily basis, it's important to keep in touch with them and keep them updated as well. 

4: Back up and protect your data and documents: Digital files may be great but, they are still just as at risk of being damaged as paper files. It's important that you back up your files, and be sure they're saved on external drives just in case!

5: Have a back-up power source (if your budget allows): Having a generator as a back up can keep your business up and running if the power were to go out. It can be your saving grace especially if you don't have a plan in place already. 

It's very important as a business owner to be prepared in the case of any weather. No matter if its snow, rain, hurricane, or even tornado! 

Give us a call at (508) 223-0505 to schedule an ERP so you can be prepared ahead of time, and call us if your business has suffered from any storm related damage, we're here to help you get back to business!

Avoiding Fires in your Commercial Kitchen - Norton

1/16/2020 (Permalink)

Photo: http://offers.encorefireprotection.com/commercial-kitchen-safety-statistics-restaurant-owners-should-know-infographic

Avoiding Fires in your Seekonk Restaurant Kitchen

According to the National Fire Protection Association, between 2006-2010, there were about 7,640 fires at restaurant type establishments. 3/5 of those fires involved cooking equipment. It is important to ensure that ALL equipment such as:

• Fryers
• Ovens
• Stoves
• Etc

Are cleaned every day, and are professionally inspected when they need to be.

It may look like you have cleaned the grease from the surfaces, but grease can and will build up in hoods and grease traps. If they get too hot or grease builds up too much, it can quickly cause a fire.

You should have regularly scheduled cleanings to avoid any possibilities of fire in your restaurant, hotel, or assisted living home kitchen.

Sprinkler systems can be the saving grace between a small fire that closes the business for a few days, or a fire engulfing the entire facility forcing you to permanently close, or be closed for an extended amount of time. Pipes and heads on sprinkler systems can become corroded with time, so it’s important to have them inspected regularly. Be sure the sprinkler heads are free of any debris, such a cobwebs.

It is important to ensure that your kitchen staff has the knowledge of what to do in the case of a fire emergency. You should have scheduled meetings and drills for:

• Fire
• Evacuation
• Emergency exits

Other causes of commercial kitchen fires:

• Not turning off cooking appliances
• Overheating oil in fryers
• Clutter: boxes, cups, wrappers…
• Dish towels, pot holders…

Keep an eye on your kitchen staff and be sure they are taking proper precautions when cooking and cleaning. 

Call SERVPRO of The Attleboros (508) 223-0505 if your Attleboro Falls restaurant kitchen suffered from fire damage. We’ll make it "Like it never even happened."

Commercial Puff Back - Seekonk, MA

9/9/2019 (Permalink)

Keep your ducks in a row, with SERVPRO (of The Attleboros)

How Can a Seekonk commercial property owner Choose a Disaster Cleanup and Restoration company??

SERVPRO of The Attleboros mitigates fire, water, smoke, soot, and mold damage for your commercial property, like your apartment, restaurant, hospital, and school.

A puff back is when a boiler chamber or furnace explodes. Most puff backs occur in an oil-fired system, but some occur with gas systems which can be way more severe. A puff back can be caused by a break in the nozzle or some systematic error in the boiler chamber. Businesses need substantial hours of operation in order to drive business. We understand that, which is why we're dedicated to serving commercial property owners. If you are experiencing a puff back in your home or business, leave the affected area, since it's likely you'll breathe in smoke and soot if you stay. Seek safety in an unaffected area and call the professionals at SERVPRO.

Don't try to clean up soot and smoke damage after a puff back. You may feel the need to, which is understandable, but leave it to the restoration professionals. They have the technology and certification to clean your puff back damage right. 

Most puff backs are covered by insurance, but it is recommended you check with your insurance provider and adjuster for the actual cost of mitigation. 

Let us help you and try to make your day better.

Commercial Cleaning Secret - MUST READ for Attleboro Biz Owners

6/25/2019 (Permalink)

Toothpaste is a great cleaning hack! Use it on almost ANYTHING in your business!

Cleaning your business using safe, non-hazardous cleaning products is vital for society, since we are trying to lower the impact on our environment due to climate change and endangered species. If customers go into your Attleboro business, it is important to have clean facilities in case they need to use them. A clean business says a lot about you, and a dirty one says even more.

• Use an old toothbrush and scrub the tile floors in the workplace restroom.
• If an employee is wearing a fancy white shirt or pants but stains them, grab a damn sponge and scrub the area with toothpaste. This should get the stain off, depending on the severity of the stain. 
• Remove the stains on the rubber soles of your white shoes. Grab a damp sponge or towel and some toothpaste. Scrub the affected areas, or leave toothpaste on the shoe for a whole day, and it comes off like powder. Thus is an amazing trick to use with your white Reebok's or Adidas's. 
• Use toothpaste to scrub the toilet to make it more presentable and safe for workers or customers.
• Rubbing a tiny amount of toothpaste with a cloth on your cell phone screen will make it look good as new!

If your Dodgeville or Attleboro commercial property is experiencing severe stains that need professional attention (like blood stains or other bio-remediation services) call SERVPRO of The Attleboros 24/7. We will make it, "Like it never even happened."

What to Do After a Contamination

• Stay out of any and all affected areas.

Cleaning your business safely and effectively - do NOT mix these products together!

It is important for business and commercial property owners to use safe cleaning chemicals, since Attleboro businesses are inhabited by adult, teens, children, and the elderly. 

It is important to know the chemicals and cleaning solutions that should not be mixed together. Mixing certain substances together in an effort to create the perfect cleaning solution can and probably will backfire. 

Harmful Substance Duo's

• Drain Cleaner and Another Drain Cleaner - Not a good idea to mix two types of drain cleaner together, since some cleaners can be acidic or alkaline. Drain cleaning formulas are so powerful on their own, so there's really no need to mix them.
• Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide - Although on their own, they're not harmful but mixed together it becomes nearly fatal. The combination of the two create peracetic acid, which can irritate the respiratory system and everywhere externally.
• Bleach and Rubbing Alcohol - This mixture creates a common deadly chemical: Chloroform. Not good!!!

Before attempting to mix substances together, make sure you conduct your research as to what exactly is in the product. Above all, do not mix these substances together in the same container or spray bottle.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning

9/6/2018 (Permalink)

Even the highest-quality carpet and upholstery can show soiling over time. Protect your investment by calling us to clean and maintain your carpet and upholstery. The SERVPRO System offers a number of cleaning options to match any type of upholstery or carpet.

We also offer a range of specialized cleaning methods:

• Hot Water Extraction: A deeper cleaning method for all carpet types.
• Deluxe Precondition and Rinse: Helps restore deeply soiled areas.
• Showcase Premier Cleaning: The most thorough cleaning method in the industry.
• Dry Cleaning: When color-fastness is an issue.

Preventative Maintenance

Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. All carpet manufacturers agree on actions you can take between carpet cleanings to increase the life span of your carpet.

IICRC states that 79% of soil in carpet is dry soil. Vacuuming is a key component to proper care and maintenance of carpet.

Preventative maintenance actions include: 

• Regular vacuuming
• Spot removal
• Moving furniture to change traffic patterns
• Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet

Professional Cleaning

Our professional cleaning can address moderate and heavy soil conditions in your carpets. How often you’ll need professional cleaning depends on soil build-up, traffic, type and color of carpeting. A good rule of thumb would be to professionally clean your carpet every 12 months. The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil. If you wait until carpets look really dirty, the carpets may never be restored to their former appearance. Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet. When a carpet is saturated with dirt, the soil has penetrated crevices and has become firmly lodged.

We will get the job done right. For a cleaning backed by state-of-the-art equipment, over 40 years of experience and Professionals trained to the highest standards, call us today at (508) 223-0505!
