Spring is traditionally a time of year when people look to refresh, update or deep clean their surroundings. Businesses should be no different. Workplaces can always benefit from a recharge to boost productivity, improve morale, reinforce safety and hygiene and maintain good will with customers and employees.
Let’s explore how rental workplace supplies can boost your overall workplace cleaning efforts.
Mats positioned at entrances to your building welcome visitors, but they also help keep dirt, debris and moisture out of your workplace. From skid-resistant mats to dust-control mats to scraper mats, these floor coverings can help keep your space cleaner and safer for guests and employees.
But who’s cleaning the mats? When mats are left in the same position and not appropriately cleaned, they may be ineffective for the job they’re intended to do. It’s important to use wash methods specifically designed to maintain the composition of the mat. The easiest way to ensure this is to outsource your mats to a commercial mat rental company, such as Vestis™.
At Vestis, a dedicated Route Sales Representative (RSR) will deliver fresh mats to your location on a regular, weekly schedule. At the same time, they’ll pick up soiled mats and take them back to our facility for professional laundering, inspection and replacement (as needed). The integrity and cleanliness of your mats are top priorities.
Mats do a great job at helping to keep dirt and debris out, but dust and grime still find their way into the workplace. Drinks and crumbs get spilled in the breakroom. Dust is released from storage closets. Chemicals are dripped on floors — and sometimes the work that happens within the workplace is messy. With time, it all adds up to unsightly floors that can lead to slips or falls, aggravated allergies and creates an unkempt look for employees and guests.
Rental workplace supplies like dust mops for sweeping and dusting, wet mops for cleaning spills and microfiber that reaches into small surface pores and enhances a mop’s ability to pick up dirt and moisture are all crucial tools when it comes to workplace cleaning.
Vestis takes the work out of managing your mops by providing hassle-free, hygienically clean mops delivered to your location. At the same time, we’ll pick up dirty mop heads and take them back to our facility for laundering. This reliable solution helps ensure that you have clean, effective tools on hand to maintain cleanliness throughout your facility. Plus, mop solutions from Vestis are cost effective without large, up-front investments and support sustainability efforts by eliminating the need for disposable mop heads.
Having the right supplies on hand makes spring cleaning (or workplace cleaning at any time of year) more effective and efficient. This is particularly true when it comes to towels. Clean, ready-to-go, job-specific towels are invaluable in industries like hospitality, healthcare, automotive, gyms, salons or any other field that heavily relies on a steady stream of clean towels.
Vestis works with a wide variety of industries and supplies them with the appropriate towels to help complete tasks safely, hygienically, efficiently and with greater ease. We handle the laundering of soiled towels, while delivering clean ones on a weekly basis — freeing your time up for more important tasks.
Much like a mop service, a rental towel service has many advantages including convenience, efficiency, sustainability and reliability — without an upfront financial investment.
If there’s one area of a business that both employees and guests expect to be clean it’s the restroom. In fact, 64% of people surveyed report that they would avoid an establishment based on a negative restroom experience and 90% of employees surveyed feel appreciated when their place of employment has tidy and stocked restroom.1
Bathrooms require regular cleaning. But equally important to a well-maintained restroom is keeping it stocked with supplies. A rental company like Vestis will make that job seamless by delivering new supplies such as soap, paper towel dispensers, air fresheners, sanitizer, bath tissue and more on a consistent, weekly schedule. Your dedicated RSR will also check your inventory to make sure your supplies run consistent with use.
Spring is the perfect time of year to make sure safety standards are being met around the workplace. Do you have what you need in the case of an emergency? Are supplies up to date? Are they easy to find when needed?
When it comes to first aid kits, you can’t take chances of running short or being left with products that are past their expiration date. Take that task off your spring cleaning list when you partner with Vestis to supply and manage your first aid cabinets. For a flat weekly rate, your Vestis RSR will inspect your first aid cabinets every week for items that are running low or expiring. They’ll replenish any necessary supplies and record their service, so you know you’re prepared when the need for first aid supplies arises.
Spring is a great reminder that cleanliness matters. A study conducted in the U.S. reveals that 99% of 1,004 adult customers surveyed would refuse to go back to a poorly cleaned store. Fifty-two percent surveyed will avoid a store entirely if it looks dirty and unappealing from the outside.2 Is this a chance you want to take with your business? You don’t have to with rental workplace supplies from Vestis. We’ll help make sure your business is ready for a cleaner, more prepared spring.
