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.

A Family Legacy of Excellence

The janitorial industry is in Ms. Ordonez’s blood. From a young age, she was exposed to the business as her father owned a janitorial franchise.

Praised for Dedication and Responsibility

Reed Warren, Regional Director of Corvus of San Antonio, has nothing but praise for Ms. Ordonez. “She is a joy to be around; she always asks about how our loved ones are, and we do the same for her. Diana is very responsible with her accounts, making sure to QC them weekly and changing out employees when necessary. She even does a second walk-through with her crew before they start their first cleans,” Warren shared.

This attention to detail and her proactive approach to quality control ensure that every account receives top-notch service, setting Ms. Ordonez apart as a leader in her region.

Going Above and Beyond

Ms. Ordonez’s focus isn’t just on delivering exceptional cleaning services; it’s on building strong relationships with her customers. She goes above and beyond to show her gratitude for their trust and partnership. From her frequent and open communication to complimentary floor buffing services, she consistently exceeds expectations. Her kindness and dedication have made her a fast success in the Corvus community.

Looking to the Future

Using Your Tax Refund to Start a Commercial Cleaning Franchise

by

April showers bring May flowers! And if you’re like many Americans, April also brings the biggest “bonus” check of the year…aka your tax refund. Let’s be honest- the temptation to spend this extra chunk of change on frivolous, in-the-moment purchases is very real. But when used wisely, a tax refund can put you in the position to achieve long-term, financial success. What if we told you this success also includes perks like flexible hours and being your own boss? How, you might ask?

Answer: Start Your Own Commercial Cleaning Franchise.

Read on to discover five reasons why using your tax refund to start a commercial cleaning franchise is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make.

1. Experience the Perks of Entrepreneurship

As mentioned above, one of the major perks of starting a cleaning franchise is reaping the benefits of entrepreneurship. Sure, taking a job as a janitor requires zero cost upfront. It does, however, bind you to what many consider burdens of the traditional workplace (think: reporting to a supervisor, a set schedule, and challenging co-workers, just to name a few.)

When you invest in yourself, you become your own boss and can take control of your career. You can set your own schedule and decide which tasks to prioritize, allowing you to balance your work with your personal life. Additionally, you can take pride in building a business from the ground up and watch it grow and thrive over time. Sounds pretty great, right?

2. Become a Part of a Supportive Community

Perhaps there is a part of you that has always dreamed of being a business owner, but when it comes down to it, you have no idea where to start. And understandably so! Between finding customers, knowing what equipment and supplies to purchase, and managing billing, it is an overwhelming process to say the least. The good news is you don’t have to do it alone.

When you join a franchise, you gain access to a team of experienced professionals who can help you navigate the ins and outs of running a successful business. You don’t have to start from scratch and figure out everything on your own. Instead, you can rely on the support of your fellow franchisees and the franchisor to help you get started and succeed.

By starting your commercial cleaning franchise with a company like Corvus, you are joining a community of experienced professionals who will provide you with the marketing, accounts, financing, and other resources required to succeed. That way, you can focus on what’s most important to you: providing high-quality service to your customers.

3. The Demand Has Never Been Higher

If high inflation rates and talks of a recession worry you, know that you are not alone. Job security is needed now more than ever, and janitorial services are always in demand. In fact, the contract cleaning market size was valued at $343.34 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a rate of 6.3% from 2023 to 2030.

The effects of Covid-19 showed the importance of maintaining a clean and hygienic workspace, proving just how essential the work of a professional cleaner is. This trend is expected to continue, and according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be more than 236,500 new janitorial positions by the end of 2023.

4. Experience Job Satisfaction

Resting your head at night knowing that you’ve made an impact is a great feeling. By providing high quality cleaning services, you are positively affecting everyone who steps foot in that facility. Take Corvus of San Antonio Franchisee Jorge Rodriguez, for example, who recently received this (raving) review on Google:

“Our school is cleaner than it has ever been. I am so impressed. I am increasing our time to 5 days a week starting in June. I am a happy customer, and our teachers are thrilled to have their classrooms so clean. It matters!”

5. Achieve Financial Freedom

Becoming a Franchise Owner does not guarantee immediate financial success, but it certainly has the potential to become a lucrative endeavor. Franchisees often start their cleaning business as a way to earn supplemental income, but in the 20+ years that Corvus has existed, we’ve watched numerous men and women turn their franchises into full-time jobs by which they support themselves entirely. Whether you’re looking for a new side hustle or hoping to change your day job entirely, opening a cleaning franchise is a sure-fire way to do just that.

Conclusion

Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. The list above only begins to touch on the benefits of using your 2023 tax refund to open a commercial cleaning franchise with Corvus. Contact your local Corvus office today to learn more.

As the second Franchise Owner to partner with Corvus of San Antonio, Mr. Jorge Rodriguez has had a big impact on the market’s success. “I don’t know where we’d be without him,” states Mr. Reed Warren, Regional Director.

Mr. Rodriguez runs his business full time and can service accounts any time of day. He even performs extra work, such as carpet cleanings. His flexibility for taking accounts and his great customer service has helped Mr. Rodriguez expand his business and partnership with Corvus. While he continues to grow his business, Jorge sets revenue goals and works toward them by making informed business decisions. While he is always grateful for new accounts, he is selective to make sure he can fully commit to his customers and provide consistent top quality service.

It’s very clear that Jorge takes pride in his work and it shows by the way he takes his time cleaning all of his accounts. Two of his customers have left Google reviews, stating “We have been through many other cleaning companies in the past and have never experienced such excellent service and attention to detail. Always on time, outstanding performance and great communication,” and, “Our school is cleaner than it has ever been. I am so impressed. I am increasing our time to 5 days a week starting in June. I am a happy customer and our teachers are thrilled to have their classrooms so clean. It matters!”

Thank you Mr. Rodriguez for your commitment to your business and customers. We look forward to continuing this partnership for many years to come!
