Government buildings, healthcare offices, hospitals, schools- most of these will be scent-free.

There are positives to this, as those with sensitivities no longer have to be affected in the workplace by that colleague that bathes in Drakkar Noir like it’s 1996, but there are negatives to this as well.

Sometimes, a “bad” scent, can outweigh the absence of a scent.  For instance, you know that coworker who insists that they DON’T need deodorant?  They do.  They really, really, really do.

 And perhaps the heavy Chanel worn by Candace in Accounts Receivable is masking her morning cigarette, and you should thank her for that.  It’s the lesser evil, after all.  Isn’t it?

There are better alternatives to this.  I won’t go into detail, but you can consult your pharmacist if you need a deodorant for your one-of-a-kind skin sensitivity issue, and this deodorant probably won’t burden any of those in your workplace with scent allergies.  And better yet, you won’t have to maintain that reputation as “BO Brad” from the 3rd floor, also known as, “don’t go in the elevator after BO Brad,” and the worldly renown, “Shawarma King,” because you smell like a shawarma that someone left on the seat of a warm bus.

Washrooms really suffer from scent-free zones as well.  Sparkling Clean will certainly ensure that if you have a scent-free office, that they can recommend and use products for your high traffic, high danger areas that won’t affect people with allergies or sensitivities.

They’ll have soaps, cleaners, sprays, etc. that will be sure to make your office free of dust, germs, harmful bacteria and other allergens, and will double down on preventing odours as well- keeping everyone happy.

Your scent-free zone doesn’t have to be an odour-filled zone.

It’s the 10:26, and you have a client meeting at 10:30.  You walk out to the lobby, welcoming them and then show them to your office.  They take a seat, and after a bit of small talk, you pivot in your office chair towards the credenza to get their file.  A slight bump of the credenza, shakes  loose a light flurry of dust from the top of the shelf.  It’s embarrassing for you.  “Perhaps they didn’t notice?”, you think.  They laugh.  They noticed.

After the appointment, you decide to take an early lunch.  As you head out into the lobby, the receptionist says something to you in passing.  You turn around to answer, and brush against the plants next to the doors.  You walk to your car, unlock it and get in.  As you buckle up, you look at your lap.  It’s dirty.  Dust must’ve transposed from the plant you bumped into.

When you get back to the office, you make a point of asking the office manager some questions about your office cleaning.

How often do they come to clean?  Are they contracted, and for how long is the contract?  What are they told to clean?  Has it always been this way? 

You return to your desk.  As the door closes to your office, something once again breezes by your periphery.  Not a rat.  Not a mouse.  Nothing like that.  The breeze incited from the door opening and closing is pushing a dust bunny around.  This dust bunny was so big, that one would assume it was the office mascot.

You may have an office cleaner.  But if it doesn’t look clean, it probably isn’t.

My father, a city manager, worked long days, waking up each morning at 5 AM and not coming home most evenings until dark. I remember asking him, “Dad- were you always a morning person?” He wasn’t. He woke up early so that he had time for himself- uninterrupted and uncompromised. He’d work all week, often coming home after council meetings, late in the evening, and would still make time to help my brother and I with homework, and to eat supper that my mom had kept warm in the oven for him.

But when it came to the weekend, Dad tried his hand at renovations. An accountant by trade, he was meticulous with his work. But when it came to completing a floor install, tiling, or other handiwork, he rushed. He had to complete the job by Sunday night, or resume it the next weekend. Usually, it was the former. Mistakes were made. The weekend warrior jobsite would get messy. The end work was usually decent from an undiscerning eye. But it was flawed, and the more you looked at it, the more you started to notice things that distance could not camouflage.

I could ask a butcher to bake bread, but why wouldn’t I just wait for the baker?

A carpenter would have measured 2 or 3 times, and cut once. They’d be as meticulous with their craft as my father would’ve been with a budget.

In the facility services industry, it is impossible to ignore the importance and necessity of energy efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning. Limited resources, bulging landfills and global warming have brought on us all a responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment.

The air in most office spaces is more contaminated than the air outside with many of the hazardous and toxic chemicals that most cleaning products leave behind. Our cleaning techniques are eco-friendly and our products are non-toxic, organic, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic.

At Sparkling Clean Canada, we stay current on the most state-of-the-art, cost effective, energy efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning products and methods to meet our client’s needs and desires.
