Shared from Lou Manfredini - Here come the warm temperatures and with that potential water issues at our homes. Here are some tips to try and limit any problems.

1. Shovel (We know that's all you have been doing) the snow away from your home at least 3 feet.
2. Make sure all leaders on the downspouts are clear and are at least 3 feet away from your home.
3. Make sure your sump pump is working, dump a 5 gallon bucket of water in the pit to engage the pump.
4. Make sure your sump pump discharge hose is clear and not frozen.
5. Clear any sewer drains or landscaping drains in your yard so the water has somewhere to go.

How to Write a Memo to Staff About Kitchen Cleanliness


We're not human resources experts, but one thing we do know is that keeping the common area in a workplace clean is very important to morale. The kitchen, of all places, is one of the spots in the office that is visible to all and can leave an eye-sore if not maintained by employees for the small clean-ups.

Don't wait for your janitorial company for minor clean-ups during the day, employees should take control to leave their kitchen looking clean throughout the day. Leave the deep-cleaning to janitorial professional after-hours.

So if a dirty kitchen becomes a regular problem in your organization, what is the right approach for a business manager to take when addressing the issue?

One method is to send a memo out to all employees. When writing a memo, keep the following in mind:

- Keep it short and sweet. A long and drawn out memo could lose its affect on employees. Get to the point and as fast as possible.

- Address why uncleanliness is a problem for the organization. Is an unclean kitchen area a problem due to morale, a decrease in productivity, or from playing the blame game? Be prepared to have supporting arguments in the memo.

- In a company-wide memo don't call out specific people. If there is a problem with one or a few people, have one on one meetings with them rather than embarrass them in public.

- Remind employees to clean up after themselves. If everyone takes responsibility of their own actions there shouldn't be a problem. In taking individual action, employees shouldn't have to pick up someone else's mess.

Besides memos, there are many other methods of communicating, including company newsletters, blogs, paycheck stuffers, one on one meetings between manager and employee, all-hands meetings and many others.

Who Does Your Office Cleaning?

Do your employees handle the cleaning at your office?
Do you get stuck doing it as the business owner or manager?
Do you hire a local cleaning company to handle it for you?

Cleaning Your Office? Don't Forget This Checklist
Posted on May 13, 2012 by Myles O'Donnell & Co.
Office cleaning is often left to janitorial professionals. Business owners and building managers tend outsource this function since it is not part of their core function. However, whether decision-makers decide to keep cleaning tasks in-house or outsource it to a janitorial services company, there are many areas that need attention.

This checklist can be used as a guide to cleaning the office with or without a janitorial services company:

Restroom cleaning

This is one of the most obvious areas that needs regular attention. Regardless of how much foot traffic there is within the building, the restroom area of the office is constantly used. Supplies need to be regularly replaced, garbage removed and toilets disinfected and cleaned nightly. Regardless if employees are the people using the restroom or if it's a mixture of employees and guests, it's very important to keep the restroom looking great and free of germs/bacteria.

Lobby Cleaning

The lobby is the first area a customer or guest will see. Rather than turn new guests away with a terrible looking lobby, regularly dust, clean carpets, wax the floors and do everything possible to leave a positive impression on guests of the company.

Waste Removal

Waste removal is a no-brainer. Hire a garbage and recycling company to pick up waste on a regular basis. Removing waste will give employees and guests a sense of organization and cleanliness in the building. Even if guests/employees didn't notice waste has been removed, that is much better than if they did notice.

Carpet Cleaning

Buildings that have carpet should be vacuumed weekly and shampooed multiple times per year. Since buildings with carpet have much more square footage of carpet, replacing it can be very costly if not maintained properly. Carpet cleaning goes beyond keeping it nice for guests, rather it becomes a cost/replacement issue.

Dusting

Those with allergies can explain how much they despise dust in an office. Sometimes it difficult to remove all dust, especially in warehouse settings, but at the very least regularly dust the office partition of the building to keep the offices clear of dust and looking shiny.

Kitchen / Lunch Room

Employees are the worst offenders of destroying the workplace kitchen. In fact, some abuse the fact that the company has a shared kitchen and treats it like they are at home - i.e. they leave dishes out, don't wipe counter tops and leave the microwave the same after their tomato soup exploded inside of it. For everyone's health and safety, have someone disinfect and organize the kitchen after each work day. It might even make sense to send a memo to employees to clean up after themselves.

Many of the items on this checklist can be handled simply by employees taking responsibility; however, for others on the checklist, it makes sense to have someone dedicated to cleaning the areas or to hire a professio

Here are three important facts about having a clean office building:

Curb Appeal. Customers and employees have no desire to come in to an environment that looks unappealing. Most people judge a book by its cover, therefore, if customers visit and see an unclean office space, they are likely to believe they will not be taken care of. Having a clean environment also gives people the sense of organization and may put them at ease. First impressions are so important in the business world.

Health. An environment full of dirt, dust, garbage and bacteria is one that could significantly impact the health of those within the area. For instance, those with asthma can be affected with a great amount of dust within the work-space. It's better to stand on the safe side and keep a clean environment to ensure that employees and customers are breathing clean and quality air during the day.

Pride of Ownership. Regardless of whether the office facility is being leased or owned, business-people who take a pride of ownership tend to be more successful. They are organized, care about their employees and cognizant about their appearance; all of which equate to someone that cares about success.
