Microfiber Technology Standard In Our Equipment

As is the case in numerous fields, better technology is providing tremendous tools for cleaning companies. The use of micro fiber in maintenance products, for example, is allowing a never before realized opportunity to aid janitorial crews in working dryer, greener, and cleaner.
Microfibers are densely constructed polyester and polyamide (nylon) fibers that are approximately 1/16 the size of a human hair. The density of the material enables it to hold six times its weight in water, making it more absorbent than a conventional cloth or mop.
Additionally, the positively charged microfibers attract dust, which has a negative charge, and tiny fibers are able to penetrate the microscopic surface pores of any material. These characteristics make microfiber an effective dusting or mopping material.
Because we use microfiber cleaning products, we can offer all of our New England clients superior green cleaning service.
Traditional cleaning moves the dust and dirt down where it is vacuumed - trapping and removing dirt requires better cleaning tools.
Microfiber cloths and HEPA vacuums are the most important part of the new approach. Microfibers collect dust and dirt more effectively and are laundered every day. HEPA vacuums take out more particles from the air than traditional vacuums. The result is less residual dust and dirt left behind.
Microfiber cleaning tools are now being used in wet and dry applications. Microfiber cloths and tools are a dead give-away of whether a company understands the Green cleaning processes or not. Be aware that using microfiber products means a system for daily laundering these products. They can be reused 400-500 times making them cost effective compared to traditional cleaning tools.
There are three main benefits to using microfiber when we clean whether residentially or commercially:
  • Reduces chemical usage and disposal. This allows for a more environmentally friendly approach as well as definitive cost savings.
  • Reduces cleaning times. Labor is the single largest cost component in most commercial cleaning bids. There are numerous case studies that have documented time savings when using microfiber.
  • Reduces workers' compensation claims. This is primarily true of the microfiber mop system when compared to conventional mop bucket and wringer systems. The microfiber system typically utilizes a flat mop without the need of a bucket that reduces the lifting and wringing motion that can lead to custodial staff injuries. Again, there is documented evidence to back up this contention.

Green Cleaning Products vs Chemicals

There are three main considerations when dealing with chemicals: environmental impact, worker safety, and product performance. At All Service, Inc. we are committed to being safe by using effective cleaning products for all of our New England clients. We will not compromise on the quality of the products we use. We guarantee that our products contain:
  • No persistent, bioaccumulative or toxic chemicals;
  • No ozone depleting compounds;
  • No or low volatile organic compound content;
  • No hazardous waste characteristics;
  • No phosphate, phthalates or phosphonates;
  • No carcinogens, mutagens, or teratogen.

Indoor Air Quality

Recent studies by Air Quality Science indicate that the air quality in hundreds of schools, offices, and homes can be more than 36 times the acceptable VOC levels within two hours after cleaning.
Removing dust and dirt are a part of the cleaning task. The contaminants in the dust and dirt contain an astounding variety of heavy metals, poisons, insect parts, pesticides, asbestos, lead, and pollen. The normal method of cleaning (Top Down System) does a poor job of removing the dirt, and may actually stir up many of the harmful particles than are paying on surfaces.
Here's a basic truth. GREEN = HEALTH IMPACT. No office is Green if it is unhealthy for the workers. The choice of cleaning service is far more important than most businesses may think. The workers of the business are an important asset to the functioning and profitability of the business. OSHA reports that U.S. businesses lose more than $60 billion dollars per year due to poor indoor air quality. Poor indoor air quality contributes to afternoon headaches, lethargy, more sick time, and more medical claims.
Health problem lawsuits have increased more than 300% due to work related exposure to harmful work environments. The choices made by the business are having major financial impacts on the profits and survivability of the company in an adverse world of liabilities.
All Time Service, Inc. is committed to providing the highest level of care in every facility we work at. We always have both the short term and the long term interest of our clients in mind.
