We think you’ll agree, the standards and expectations for workplace cleanliness have never been higher. But where do you start? It can be a daunting task for any office manager or custodial team to identify their facility needs, especially when maintaining a clean workplace for everyone. Protecting the integrity of a variety of surfaces while focusing on appropriately supplying restrooms can seem like two very different tasks. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one source for everything? What if an expert could help you identify what makes sense for your space and offer the assist?
We’ve been managing facilities and working with custodial teams for decades. Let’s walk through some of our most popular product categories when it comes to office cleaning.
Air quality is crucial for maintaining a healthy workplace. Effective air and odor control not only enhance comfort but also improve productivity and well-being. Since Covid, we all are much more aware of the ways in which we can protect ourselves and each other. FriendsOffice provides a range of air fresheners, deodorizers, and air purifiers designed to neutralize odors and ensure a fresh, clean atmosphere throughout the office.
Maintaining optimal climate conditions is essential for both employee comfort and operational efficiency. Our climate control solutions, including HVAC filters and maintenance products, help keep your systems running smoothly, ensuring a consistent and comfortable indoor environment.
The right tools can make all the difference in your cleaning routine. From durable and antimicrobial mops and brooms to specialized brushes and buckets, our selection of cleaning tools is designed to withstand heavy use and make your cleaning tasks more efficient and effective.
In today's health-conscious environment, effective disinfection is paramount. Again, in 2020 we all learned the most important components of any disinfection routines.
