This guide is designed to help you thoroughly refresh your environment, from decluttering and deep cleaning to adopting eco-friendly practices.

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.

7. Schedule Regular Maintenance Post-Spring Cleaning

Once your spring cleaning is complete, maintaining the cleanliness and organization of your space is crucial. Consider setting up a regular cleaning schedule with Corvus Janitorial Systems to ensure your environment remains inviting, clean, and healthy year-round.

May’s Franchisee Spotlight Series features Corvus of Cincinnati Franchise Owner Mr. Ricky Watson. Read on to learn more about the standout Franchisee who goes above and beyond to Make Lives Better!

To keep up with the Franchisee Spotlight Series and all things Corvus, follow us on Instagram! @corvus_janitorial_franchising

Mr. Ricky Watson, Franchisee of Corvus of Cincinnati, is one of the market’s biggest success stories. In June 2007, Ricky started his franchise with Corvus. Looking at his business now, you wouldn’t guess that he struggled a bit in the beginning. Now, almost 15 years later, Mr. Watson is a Corvus Super Star!

For Ricky, his franchise started out as a side hustle. Once he got over the initial struggles he faced, his business took off. He started to grow quickly and soon had to hire a few employees to keep on top of his accounts! Eventually, Mr. Watson turned his side hustle into a full-time job. His wife joined in and started helping him with his business and they are both now fully involved in running it. Now Ricky has an incredible team and many happy customers- and he’s still growing his franchise.

Not only is Ricky Watson very successful himself, but he’s also been a great help to other Franchisees. When new Franchise Owners were starting up their franchises, Mr. Watson was there to help train them and get over some of those starting hurdles. Many other Franchisees and the Cincinnati Corvus Team have formed close friendships with Ricky because of his “Team Player” attitude. He’s always willing to lend a hand to those who need it!

Thank you, Mr. Watson, for embodying Corvus’ mission to Make Lives Better and for your decade-and-a-half partnership with Corvus…we couldn’t do it without standout franchise owners like yourself, and we look forward to many more years of partnership!

Corvus Janitorial Systems Commercial Cleaning Customer Reviews

by

Reviews from Corvus Janitorial Customers:

Corvus of Charlotte:

“We started working with Corvus in July 2015 and to date, have had a great experience with them. They had some local management changes a couple of years ago and that went well with no change in service (which can happen!). When we ask for something, the response is quick and efficient. We had a COVID-19 potential exposure in our office and they were able to come out the next day and do a thorough sanitizing of our office suite. All of their folks have been great but Jodean climbs to the top of the list – she is there for us! We thank you, Corvus!”

Corvus of Chicago:

“Corvus has been servicing our Elk Grove facility for over a year and we are pleased with the quality of service and their communication. Regular visits from a local Manager are a welcome addition and provide a platform for us to submit specific feedback regarding the scheduled service, special requests and explore additional services that we may require.”

Corvus of Cincinnati:

“Very detail oriented. I requested specific things. The first time the crew came they missed something. I made a phone call to Christine one time and they went above and beyond my expectations. Fantastic crew!!!”

“I have worked in child care for years, never satisfied with any of our janitorial companies until now. Charles is amazing at what he does and very responsive. They provide a log book for daily communication and quarterly evaluations, asking us what they can improve on. Spencer, the supervisor, is very easy to speak with and always checking in. Not only do they provide great cleaning services, they are now offering electrostatic disinfecting – which we did today in our classrooms. I am very satisfied with Corvus services and would recommend them to anyone!”

Corvus of Lexington:

“The company I work for has used Corvus for a number of years and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the team on the ground to management, we were taken care of on every aspect. If there was ever a question or an extra request, the team was always accommodating.”

Corvus of Little Rock:

“Top notch service. Shayna and Jennifer are great. You can count on them to always follow up to ensure that you are pleased with the service. Had a couple of “emergency” cleans come up over the last couple of years and they have always gone out of their way to cover my poor planning and made me come out looking like a star when visitors arrived.. Would recommend to anyone. A+++”

Corvus of Louisville:

“So glad to know David Villafana and Corvus! They use green products, well trained employees, and methodical cleaning.”

Corvus of St. Louis:

“Zion Lutheran School has been with Corvus since 2000. I love the communication we have with Corvus. They are so responsive to our cleaning needs at school. It is nice to have cleaning issues taken care of, and not have to deal with that during a busy school year. Corvus has been a great partner in our school growth.”
