After the Rain Falls

Into the life of every cleaning business owner, a little extra, helpful knowledge will fall.

Well, not exactly as poetic as it could be, but the point is you never know when some little trick of the cleaning service trade might help you land that all important office cleaning contract.

Take this scenario for instance.

Late at night, the deadline looms. Bleary-eyed, the dedicated office worker labors over their computer, putting the finishing touches on a special project due in the morning.

Then the absolute worst happens. In an attempt to keep awake, the dedicated person has grabbed a forbidden soda or cup of coffee and put it on their desk next to their computer screen (gasp!). An unguarded gesture, a run-away elbow, and the soda or coffee winds up spilling all over the keyboard.

Oh my-

First and foremost, advise the person to turn off the computer immediately. Or at the least disconnect the keyboard from the computer. Next, quickly flip the keyboard over and shake it above a neutral surface, like an empty table or countertop, to clear the keyboard of as much liquid as possible.

While the keyboard is still upside down, press a clean cloth or a pad of paper towels on the affected area to absorb yet more liquid. If possible, moisten a cotton ball or the tip of a clean cloth with isopropyl alcohol and run it over the affected area to help dry up any remaining liquid. Inform the person that it’s important to leave the keyboard upside down to dry completely-at least 12 hours-before turning it back on.

Assure the dedicated worker and your client-who, by the way, does not have tech person-if they follow these simple steps, they stand a good chance of saving the keyboard. Because as a wise sage once said, liquid spilled on a keyboard isn’t always fatal, to the keyboard and hopefully, the person who tried to drown it.…

Sanitation in the Workplace: Prioritizing Health and Safety

There are some factors that should be considered for a business to run smoothly and for goals to be met fully. It can be a challenging task for a business owner to ensure that all of the factors such as the finances, equipment and supplies, as well as the employees are working together. Yet, one of the critical factors that should be taken into consideration is the health and safety of all the employees working for you, in any way. There are some precautions that you need to do in making sure that employees are safe and they know how to keep their self secure and protected. Also, everyone should be trained on how to deal with unexpected situations.

For a business venture to run smoothly, one of the things you can do is to be able to create and maintain a positive work environment where everyone can work smoothly. The workplace can be more inviting to customers and clients if they see that every employee is having fun doing their jobs through their happy expressions. Having employees enjoy their work can also make them be more productive and accomplish their tasks faster. Stress is eliminated if one works in a workplace having positive vibes. Thus, employees can be more motivated to do their tasks and enjoy every bit of time that they work.

The health and safety of everyone can be acquired through sanitation, which is one of the factors. One way to sanitize the work environment is to provide the area with products for hygiene such as sanitizers to ensure that the spread of germs is avoided at any means possible. One example is during the winter season. At this time, there is a high probability that employees get illnesses such as colds. So, sanitation is needed in order for germs not to spread more and to keep everyone safe from acquiring some illnesses. Another way of keeping the workplace and employees safe is to have labels. Say, there are hazardous materials in the workplace; every employee should be made aware about it.

In cases that your business is on construction, make sure that every worker is provided with all the safety equipment as they work. They should always wear the appropriate attire for the job. By doing so, you can make sure that they are safe from getting any injury as they work. There should also be signs on danger areas for everyone to be aware.

Of course, there is also a need for the management to have employees trained on how to react during emergency situations. There might be unexpected situations such as earthquake that might happen so employees should be trained on how to deal with situations as such.

A business can be successful if every aspect is checked and maintained. One of the factors that can greatly affect the business is the employees. Thus, maintaining the health and safety of employees is a need. This can …

For well over a century, the mobile food vending cart has been a part of the urban landscape. Originally selling fruits and vegetables, the food cart vendor has expanded to many ready to eat meals, snacks, drinks, desserts and on the go lunches. From busy city intersections, beaches, parks and outdoor malls, the food vendor has provided a product to a populated area. But more than just selling an item, the food cart has become part of the ambience of the congregation area.

Those looking into the mobile food vending business will look for certain features in food carts for sale. First, most will look for solid construction. This is for a number of reasons. Doors will be open and closed repeatedly and on a daily basis.

If it is a cart where the vendor stands, it must withstand the weight and pressure of multiple people for hours at a time. It will also need to be transported on a daily basis to the site of sale. People looking for such a cart will normally prefer a strong metal, tubular construction but yet at a light enough weight for portability.

Second, appearance is a crucial factor in design and construction. Something to catch the eye of the potential customer is needed to attract sales. The two main components for the aesthetic canvas are the side panels and the canopy. The panels should come in a number of colors, and also be made in such a way as to affix a logo or product picture. The canopy may be the most prominent feature and the first component to catch someone’s eye. This is why quality sellers provide for customization of the canopy.

Finally, safety and health standards must be considered in the design. If any food prep is performed on site, fire and electrical codes must be followed. With any type of food product being sold, there will be state or municipal regulations in effect for meeting health and sanitary regulations. The potential vendor should inquire with the cart seller as to whether common health and safety codes were considered during the design and construction phases.…
