The Essence of Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is a tradition rooted in the desire for a clean and orderly environment, symbolizing a fresh start. It’s a chance to eliminate the clutter and dirt that have accumulated over the year, especially in the hidden corners that often get overlooked during routine cleaning. For businesses, it’s an opportunity to present a welcoming and professional face to the world, enhancing customer and employee satisfaction. The benefits of spring cleaning are manifold, including improved air quality, increased productivity, and a sense of well-being and calm.

Step-by-Step Guide to a Thorough Spring Clean

1. Create a Customized Cleaning Plan

Start with a comprehensive plan tailored to your specific needs. Inventory the areas of your home or business that require attention, and list tasks for each room or section. Prioritizing tasks ensures that you focus on areas that require the most work or are critical for your day-to-day operations.

2. Declutter Before You Clean

A clutter-free environment is easier to clean and maintain. Sort through belongings, paperwork, and inventory, deciding what to keep, donate, or discard. This not only simplifies the cleaning process but also contributes to a more organized and efficient space.

3. Focus on Deep Cleaning for Health

Spring cleaning is an excellent time to focus on areas that affect the health of your environment. This includes deep cleaning carpets, upholstery, and air ducts to remove allergens and dust mites. Pay special attention to sanitizing surfaces in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-traffic areas to minimize the spread of germs and bacteria.

4. Tackle Overlooked Areas for a Comprehensive Clean

Don’t forget about the places that are easy to overlook during regular cleaning. This includes the tops of cabinets, light fixtures, baseboards, and behind appliances. Cleaning these areas not only contributes to the overall cleanliness of your space but also helps in preventing the accumulation of dust and pests.

5. Invest in Professional Cleaning for Optimal Results

Certain tasks, such as window cleaning, carpet and upholstery cleaning, and high-dusting, can be challenging and time-consuming. Corvus Janitorial Systems offers a range of professional cleaning services that can help you achieve the best results. Our trained professionals use the latest techniques and eco-friendly products to ensure your space is not only clean but also safe and healthy.

Corvus Thanks Our Veterans

by

As we observe Veterans Day this year, Corvus would like to express our wholehearted gratitude and deepest respects to all our Nation’s veterans and their families. The courage, heroism, selflessness, and love of country of those who have served allows all of us to sleep peacefully at night and to wake up every day in a free society.

Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11th in the United States, is a day for reflection, remembrance, and respect. Veterans Day was originally celebrated as Armistice Day on November 11th, 1919, to mark the end of World War I on the “11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month”, established by the Treaty of Versailles, in 1918. Initially declared by President Woodrow Wilson, the purpose of Armistice Day up until 1945 was to honor the fallen warriors of WWI. Armistice Day was officially made a federal holiday on May 13th, 1938.

In 1945, Raymond Weeks, a veteran of World War II, led a delegation to General Dwight D. Eisenhower proposing expanding Armistice Day to recognize and celebrate all American veterans. He organized the first ever Veterans Day celebration in 1945 and continued to do so until his passing in 1985. Weeks is considered the “Father of Veterans Day” and he was awarded the Presidential Citizenship Medal in 1982 by President Reagan.

Armistice Day officially became Veteran’s Day on May 26, 1954, when now President Eisenhower signed a bill presented by U.S. Representative Ed Rees of Kansas amending the 1938 act by replacing “Armistice” with “Veterans”. 1954 also saw the creation of the National Veterans Award, and the first recipient was Congressman Rees for his efforts to make Veterans Day a federal holiday.

Veterans Day is an opportunity for all of us to reflect upon and honor the contributions – past, present, and future – of American Veterans. Their service to our country does not stop when they leave the armed forces. There are approximately 19.5 million veterans in the United States; they are community leaders, business owners, coaches, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. They bring their sense of honor, duty, and loyalty to the common good with them to civilian society, and we are a better nation because of the veterans in our midst.

A special thanks to:

Ryan Patrick, U.S. Army Cavalry Scout
Regional Director – Corvus of Louisville

Marshall Dickerson Jr, U.S. Marine Corps
Franchise Owner – Corvus of Baton Rouge

Djuanyel Lewis, U.S. Navy
Franchise Owner – Corvus of Chicago

Tommy Lee, U.S. Army Combat Engineer; VA Hospital
Franchise Owner, Corvus of St. Louis

Dan Luna, United States Navy SEAL
Executive Partner, Founder – Team 3LX Consulting

In addition to the above, Corvus extends our humble appreciation today to all our veteran partners, teammates, stakeholders, and their families; it is the highest honor and a great privilege to work alongside you – you personify Corvus’ mission to Make Lives Better.

We would also like to express our appreciation to the International Franchise Association and the IFA Foundation for their support of veterans through their VetFran initiative, which aims to “facilitate the transition of veterans into franchising by encouraging franchisors to offer discounts and incentives to veterans…and to assemble resources, tools and a database of franchising opportunities for veterans”. Corvus is proud to be a VetFran member organization and to offer a 20% discount to all our veterans.

Please take the opportunity today to thank the veterans in your life for their service – they risked their lives for our fundamental freedoms with honor, bravery, and an unwavering commitment to their country. Check out the resources below to learn how you can help support our former service members this Veterans Day.
