This morning we sent a truck out to do a final cleanup job in memphis. This is a large retail store with a variety of cleaning needs. Like most construction cleanings, this was very typical. The original cleanup crew left a lot to be desired. Sometimes its not any blame to the cleaning company. In many cases, the construction isn't completed in time. Scheduled dates have to be re-arranged over and over. Workers have to continue to readjust their schedules to complete one of the hardest jobs they will perform and usually under time constraints & downward pressure. Still, our crew personell in this case has to follow up on someone elses work. Usually there's always more than expected. They will likely have to use a variety of equiptment; carpet machines, auto-scrubbers, window extensions, & scissior lifts along with common equiptment.
Where as other jobs would use one person w/experience in one of these areas, (ex. Window Cleaning Co., or Carpet Techs) here we must have one or two individuals w/experience in all of these areas. Carpet spotting alone can cause many headaches if the wrong chemicals are used on the wrong fabric. Then the use of heavy equiptment on sealed & waxed floors requires protecting some surfaces while improving others.
So off they went this morning with an arsenal of chemicals & equiptment, likely not to return for 12 hours. Thank you kind families for permitting this.
