5 floor cleaning essentials

Having clean floors is important and these floor cleaning essentials are very necessary for a healthy office. Sweeping and mopping a floor has to happen frequently or else debris and stains build up, making the job that much harder. Yet, we cannot create a clean floor with dirty cleaning tools. That is why it is essential to replace the mop pads frequently. Having enough reusable pads will allow us to launder the dirty ones and maintain the clean we desire.

Most of us have a mopping device that uses these style of mop pads.

So, we can use the mop system we already have with fresh and new mop pads.  We can also take care of those outdoor floor needs.  But most importantly we need to make sure to take care of our back so we won’t go wrong creating a clean and inviting space.

You want comfortable clothes that don’t hinder your range of motion and help protect you from potential workplace hazards. We all know that clothing is no substitution for construction PPE. Yet, some construction work clothes are made with OSHA safety standards in mind and can help comply.

One thing that really grinds anyone’s gears is construction work clothes that aren’t made to last. There’s nothing more frustrating than the inseam tearing on a pair of pants you’ve had for only a few months. Really great construction worker clothes last at least a few years. Depending on your job, you might wear them out sooner, or you might get 10 years of use. There’s no guarantee how long a set of clothes will last, but if you go with one of these brands, you should get a good two to three years of use out of them. Not only that, you’ll be comfortable and look great.
