Sonia and Juana have been employed with All Clean Services since February of this year working in the Janitorial Department. This mother and daughter team go above and beyond what is expected. Whenever they are called at the last minute to fill in for someone, they are always willing and ready to go help out whether it is at night or on the weekend. A few months back they helped work at the College putting in full days and then going out to do their regular clients at night. If their schedule needs to be changed to accommodate others, they have no problem with it. This team is a great asset to the Janitorial Department and we appreciate them very much. Thank you for all of your hard work.

All results were negative - Way to go! Our No Drug Policy is for the safety of our clients as well as the safety of our employees. Thank you to everyone for making All Clean Services a safe place to work.

JULY 4thThe office will be closed on this day and most jobs will be closed. BUT MAKE SURE TO CHECK WITH YOUR SUPERVISOR TO SEE IF ANY OF YOUR ACCOUNTS WILL BE OPEN AND NEED TO BE CLEANED.
Supply Sign - out PolicyEffective immediately, there are some changes regarding the way you will get supplies. You will need to fill out a Supply request form for anything that you will need. Then your supervisor or any office staff will be able to fill your order. Janitorial employees need to give your supervisor at least 1 week notice if you are running out of something and need it. When you come into the office on Pay Day and you plan on getting supplies, please make sure you have enough time set aside in case there are others before you that are placing orders, or picking up orders. If your identification number is twelveeightyfour let Melissa know to receive your prize.
Caution!!
When you are at an account and need to plug something in, please make sure you are not disconnecting any computers. Try to find an outlet that has nothing in it, I realize this is not always an option but if there is one available, please use it.
Using Insect Repellents Safely
Mosquitoes, biting flies, and ticks can be annoying and sometimes pose a serious risk to public health. In certain areas of the U.S., mosquitoes can transmit diseases like equine and St. Louis encephalitis. Biting flies can inflict a painful bite that can persist for days, swell, and become infected. Ticks can transmit serious diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. When properly used, insect repellents can discourage biting insects from landing on treated skin or clothing.
Using Insect Repellents Safely
The EPA recommends the following precautions when using insect repellents:
Repellents should be applied only to exposed skin and/or clothing (as directed on the product label). Do not use under clothing.
Never use repellents over cuts, wounds, or irritated skin.
Don't apply to eyes and mouth, and apply sparingly around ears. When using sprays do not spray directly onto face; spray on hands first and then apply to face.
Do not allow children to handle this products, and do not apply to children's hands. When using on children, apply to your own hands and then put it on the child.
Do not spray in enclosed areas. Avoid breathing a repellent spray, and do not use it near food.
Use just enough repellent to cover exposed skin and/or clothing. Heavy application and saturation is unnecessary for effectiveness; if biting insects do not respond to a thin film of repellent, apply a bit more.
After returning indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water or bathe. This is particularly important when repellents are used repeatedly in a day or on consecutive days. Also, wash treated clothing before wearing it again.
If you suspect that you or your child are reacting to an insect repellent, discontinue use, wash treated skin and then call your local poison control center. If/when you go to a doctor, take the repellent with you.
WelcomeThis month we have no new employees to welcome but want to THANK all of YOU, our employees, for doing such a great job. The managers and supervisors greatly appreciate it.
