The Summer of 2011

It's been a long hot summer and most of us have forgotten what rain is. The weather man calls it a cool front when we are in the low 100’s. These conditions have turned our carpets into one giant walk off mat. With dirt and dust everywhere outside, all the foot traffic has brought it all inside for the fall.

Don’t make the mistake of just throwing water at your carpets.  You will end up with a bigger problem than you have now,  and could damage your carpet(s). Entrust One and its partners' at Host have developed the “Green, Clean and Dry Floor Cleaning System" for all your floor care needs. Using as little as 1 teaspoon of liquid per square foot, we can do restorative cleaning on your carpets and tile.  Deep cleaning starts with removing the dirt that has found its way into your building. After that, Entrust One can bring your floors back to life. Call us for your free Host demonstration today.

Don’t hate the player; hate the game!

Did you ever wonder why when you open a new bag of potato chips, its half empty? Don’t look now but the same thing is happening to your cases of towels, tissue, and liners. All major manufacturers are reducing case size and product content instead of raising prices to the appropriate level. What used to be the industry standard in toilet tissue was 96 rolls of 500 sheets, 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches.  Today’s  new cases from all major manufacturers are, 80 rolls of 500-600 sheets, 3.25 inches by 4.05 inches at the same price.

Switching to the latest high capacity systems in jumbo tissue and hard wound roll towels, can turn back the clock on your supply budgets. Jrt Tissue, EnMotion Roll Towels, and Rite-Sized Liners are just a few products that can put the Bang back in your Buck. At Entrust One, we offer our customers the latest in High Capacity Systems as upgrades in their facilities. Let Entrust save you time and money with our “Green Zone High Capacity Systems Today.

Get Off the Rollercoaster

Have you ever wondered if there was a better way to clean your building? Standard janitorial service focuses on cleaning at night with little if any emphasis on maintaining the cleanliness of the building during the day when in use. This creates an extreme cycle of up and down levels of cleanliness.

Entrust One has developed our Green Zone Cooperative Day Cleaning Program to bring an end to this cycle. Using the latest in LEED accredited procedures and working during the day while the building is in use; we can provide a cleaner environment and maintain that level of cleanliness with less drop off. This will save money in the long run since it takes less labor to maintain a clean building than to restore a dirty building to acceptable levels of cleanliness.

At Entrust One, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our cleaning procedures. No matter what type of service your building needs, Entrust One can provide the solution. Remember; “If it’s not clean, it can’t be green”.  

“Old School” can be “New School”

20 years ago when wax technology was in its infancy, it was the norm to strip and wax every three months. Put down three coats of wax and it will wear off in a few months. Then came new non yellowing waxes that can stay down indefinitely if maintained properly. Today we have the new generation of “Green Floor Care Products” which are back to a three month cycle since they are not as durable.

At Entrust One, we look for the option which produces the smallest footprint at the end of the day. Is stripping and waxing every quarter “Greener” than “Old School” methods in which you strip every two years?  Old school methods use less water for stripping, less energy, less labor, produce less trash in the waste stream and provide a long lasting result. We believe that this leaves a smaller “environmental footprint” in the end.

Entrust One uses our “Green Zone” cleaning program for all our customers which includes looking for ways to decrease your “environmental footprint”. At the end of the day, if it’s not clean, it can’t be green.   

Green Cleaning for Healthcare Facilities

Despite a difficult economy, you may  have noticed there continues to be new construction in the Metroplex. Most of these new buildings are Healthcare related. With the Healthcare Market primed for growth, Building Service Contractors (BSC) have an expanding market to explore. More and more facilities are looking to outsource cleaning operations and focus on “GREEN CLEANING” for their facilities. As this market explodes, it is important for the BSC industry to be prepared and understand the new LEED designation for Healthcare Facilities offered by the U.S. Green Building Council.

LEED for Healthcare, is for new or newly renovated Healthcare Facilities. It follows the LEED for New Construction, basic guidelines but is tailored for Healthcare Industry. Focusing on eliminating cross-contamination, fragrance free cleaning, and overall sustainability of your cleaning program; LEED for Healthcare is designed to improve over all cleanliness and indoor air quality. There are even rumors of the long anticipated “Green Disinfectant” as well as an expanded product line for Healthcare Facilities.

Entrust One has been a pioneer in “Green Cleaning” in Healthcare since 2008. With the introduction of color coded microfiber cleaning systems to “Green Seal” cleaning chemicals, we have customized our “Green Zone Cleaning Program” for our Healthcare customers. Poised to take LEED for Healthcare to the next level, Entrust One is ready to change the face of your Healthcare Facility as you “GO GREEN”.
