If you are a contractor or business owner, and you need the services of a commercial cleaning company, then you should understand why every commercial cleaning company must comply with proper cleaning audits and SWMS.

A SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement), is an important document that defines and outlines the risks and hazardous activities that are to be carried out at various work places, and the measures that need to be taken to control and manage those activities safely.

Duty holders, referred to as PCBU (a person conducting a business or undertaking), such as commercial cleaning companies that will undergo any high risk activity in connection with a construction project, are required to submit a SWMS to the principle contractor, before any activity or work begins. Duty holders are also to keep a copy for themselves, so that it can be readily available for inspection to ensure they are being compliant.

For the sake of everyone, the SWMS will state the established requirements to be carried out to conduct hazardous work in a safe manner. It is constantly updated and evolves over time according to the high risk work that is needed to be done. In this way, a SWMS is living document, as the SWMS must be updated prior to each new high risk job.

Because of the availability of ready-made templates, it is easy to customise and update a SWMS to meet specific needs.

Every Commercial Cleaning Company Must Comply with an Onsite SWMS

The importance of an onsite safe work method statement (SWMS) can’t be over emphasised enough, as it is there to help workers, supervisors, and contractors, such as
commercial cleaning companies, to understand the vital requirements that have been established to conduct high risk work safely.

Because nearly every commercial and industrial construction project have professional commercial cleaning contractors onsite conducting many types of tasks, the SWMS is a vital instrument that ensures their safety, as it identifies potential hazards, describes control measures for hazardous work and outlines work activities in efficient, safe, and logical sequences.

Every commercial cleaning company or PCBU must comply with an onsite SWMS, as it will provide construction supervisors, contractors, property owners, and workers with contact information and pertinent details of persons that are carrying out any hazardous work. This includes the specific names of workers who will be directly engaged in any high risk work, as well as those responsible for ensuring the monitoring and compliance of said work.

People everywhere love to barbecue food, but when it comes time to clean up, no one looks forward to cleaning a dirty, gritty grill. Of all the jobs around the house, cleaning the BBQ grill is the most difficult, that is because most people put it off until it becomes absolutely necessary to clean it.

Because cleaning a dirty grill is tough work, many people turn to metal scrapers and wire barbecue brushes to get the job done. However, there are some serious health concerns when using wire brushes to clean BBQ grills. For example, after cleaning, wire bristles from barbecue wire brushes have been known to get on food that people eat. This has resulted in serious abdominal pain that requires an emergency room visit to remove wire bristles from the stomach.

A much safer, cleaner, and easier way to clean your barbecue grill, rather than use a wire brush, is to use Mako cleaning blocks.

Mako Cleaning Blocks Make Cleaning Barbecue Grills Easy

If you have a party or family get together planned, and you want a safe and easy way to clean your BBQ grill, to make it look like new, then use a Mako cleaning block. There is nothing that works better than Mako cleaning blocks, as they can scour through even the toughest baked on grease and the worst grime, much easier than any barbecue wire brush.

You will be amazed at how easy and effective it is to use, as you watch baked on grease and grime just peel away with every stroke the Mako cleaning block makes over your dirty grill. To use, simply wear a pair of rubber dish washing gloves to hold the Mako cleaning block, and then press it firmly against your grill and begin sliding it forward and back to remove built up grease and grime, it’s that easy and safe to use.

Mako BBQ cleaning blocks are made from 100% recyclable materials, contain no harmful chemicals, and are environmentally friendly, effective, and simple to use. Made from reprocessed recyclable glass that is finely crushed and pressed into a block form, the cleaning blocks are specially designed to bite through even the toughest baked on grease.

Not only are they safe to handle and use, but Mako BBQ cleaning blocks can also be used on hot surfaces, which makes it possible to clean BBQ grills shortly after finishing cooking.

You can obtain Mako BBQ cleaning blocks at Australian Commercial Maintenance – premier commercial cleaners in Melbourne.

Keeping a community clean is of paramount importance, for a number of different reasons. Not only is it necessary to ensure the orderliness of an area, it is also the first line of defence against diseases. Keeping an entire community clean isn’t all that difficult, if everyone in the community does their part. However, even working together, the accumulated trash that is cleaned up will still require disposal.

One of the most difficult things to dispose of is hard rubbish. Basically, all types of trash that comprises old, worn-down, and non-reusable items, as well as the bulk of still usable, but already discarded (i. e. un-donated and un-repurposed) items like couches, old refrigerators, old washing machines, and the like.

Compared to conventional rubbish (the likes of which can be repurposed, reused, or recycled), hard rubbish is often far too large to be disposed of in the conventional means.

To prevent unwanted cluttering of a community’s environs, most local government councils offer council cleanups. Unfortunately, these are often infrequently scheduled and the services limited, which provides councils with the opportunity to hire a hard rubbish collection and removal service.

In fact, there are a number of advantages and benefits of utilising a hard rubbish removal service, as it is often more effective than relying on scheduled council services to get rid of built-up household waste.

Here are just some of the advantages and benefits of utilising a hard rubbish removal service:

Councils and homeowners that are looking for an excellent hard rubbish collection company will find that Australian Commercial Maintenance provides reliable hard rubbish collection services.

Maintenance and care is needed to maintain the protective layer of vinyl called the sealer, which gives that distinctive shine that it is known for.

Public restrooms are notorious for being places where germs and diseases lurk, with very busy public bathrooms being avoided altogether if they appear unkempt. Even when bathrooms look clean, it doesn’t mean that they are really as clean as they look, deep down they can be a breeding ground for germs and diseases.

In fact, many surveys have revealed that most public bathrooms are not as clean as they look or should be. With that said, it is highly advised that facility managers hire professional commercial cleaners to maintain the cleanliness of their public restrooms, for the sake of everyone who uses them. Another consideration that surveys have revealed is that many public bathrooms are often neglected and not cleaned thoroughly.

Beyond Visual Dirt and Grime – Unseen germs

When cleaning public bathrooms there are two types of cleaning that needs to be done – cleaning for health and cleaning for visual appearance. While maintaining a clean bathroom appearance is important to make people feel comfortable and positively influencing people’s perception, it does not guarantee that harmful microorganisms are eliminated.

Microorganisms such as E. coli, Influenza, Hepatitis A, Salmonella, and Shigella are routinely found in public bathrooms, and their presence risks a disease outbreak. The main purpose of keeping public bathrooms clean and disinfected is to prevent illness-causing microorganisms from developing and spreading. This is why when it comes to cleaning public bathrooms, facility management should hire professional commercial cleaners.

Commercial Cleaning in Public Bathrooms can Prevent Disease Outbreak

Commercial cleaners have the training and experience to prevent the spread of diseases by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting public bathrooms. Using the right cleaning materials, commercial cleaners can effectively eliminate most illness-causing bacteria and pathogens from touch point surfaces, such as bathroom door handles, facet handles, toilets, and urinal handles, to prevent disease outbreak.

Hiring commercial cleaners also protects the reputation of businesses, as it guarantees that public bathrooms are not only hygienic and clean, but that they always look clean to customers and clients.
