Day maker services include such duties as:

• Restocking products
• Restrooms
• Kitchens
• Entryways

Utilizing a day maker in your facility also provides an on-site KB employee to assist with emergency needs that occur during the day.

Green Cleaning

Green cleaning is an overall change in cleaning practices, including such items as:

• Microfiber cleaning towels & mops

• Overall cleaning process

In addition, KB was recently re-certified with the ISSA’s CIMS-GB with Honors certification, which ranks KB in the top 1% of 70,000 janitorial companies in the country.  This certification reinforces that KB’s green cleaning practices are in alignment with the requirements from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED and the ISSA.

Carpet Cleaning

Whether you have coffee and soda stains, or your carpet is in need of a cleaning maintenance program, KB can provide carpet cleaning services to your facility.

Full Carpet Cleaning
Full carpet cleaning consists of edge to edge carpet cleaning, including high traffic, individual offices, cubicle areas, etc.. Full carpet cleaning should be completed on an annual to bi-annual basis, depending on the usage of the space.

Spot Carpet Cleaning
Spot carpet cleaning consists of treating and extracting carpet stains from various spills and usage. Spot carpet cleaning should be completed as maintenance between your scheduled full carpet cleanings, or on an as-needed basis in regards to stains.

Types of Equipment:
Truck Mount
KB offers truck mount carpet cleaning. The vacuum blower lifts the dirty water from the carpet. The high pressure water pump pumps heated water and chemical onto the carpet which is then extracted. Truck mount carpet cleaning is popular because of the power and flexibility it offers.

Portable Extraction Machines
KB offers portable carpet cleaning. Portable machines provide carpet cleaning through both low moisture encapsulation & heated water extraction. Portable carpet cleaning machines provide ease of use (no large amounts of hose running through a building or doors needing to be propped open) and offer maneuverability in order to access higher floors.

Hard Floor Maintenance

Maintaining your hard surface flooring extends the life of the floor. The maintenance necessary depends on the type of flooring and the amount of foot traffic the floor encounters. KB employs hard floor experts that can create a floor maintenance program specific to your needs.

Strip and Wax
Stripping and waxing applies to Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) and should be completed on either annual or every other year basis. For a strip and wax, all previous coats of wax are removed from the VCT flooring, the floor is scrubbed and then all new coats of wax are laid. The wax protects the flooring and also provides shine.

Scrub and Recoat
Scrubbing and recoating applies to Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) and is completed on the opposite rotation of a strip and wax. For a scrub & recoat, the top two layers of wax are removed from the VCT flooring, the floor is scrubbed and then two new coats of wax are laid.

Burnish
Burnishing applies to Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) and is meant to bring back the shine and “new-ness” of the flooring. Burnishing re-ignites the top layer of wax and makes the floor “pop” in between the strip & wax and scrub & recoat floor services.

Marble Polish
Marble polishing applies to marble flooring and should be completed on an annual or bi-annual basis. Marble polishing buffs the marble and brings back the luster of the natural marble.

Rotoscrub
Rotoscrubbing applies to all types of stone, ceramic tile and non-finish flooring types. This type of tile is most common in restrooms and should be completed on a quarterly or bi-annual basis. Rotoscrubbing is the use of a low-speed floor machine with an intensifying chemical that allows a deep scrub of the tile, as well as grout.

Seal Grout
Sealing the grout applies to all types of stone or ceramic tile, or any tile that is grouted. Sealing the grout should be completed annually and in conjunction with a rotoscrub. Sealing the grout provides a barrier on the grout for potential stains, which in turn prevents discoloration in the grout.

Construction clean-ups are designed to occur during a construction project to upkeep day to day, as well as post-construction/ pre-move in.

Ongoing Construction Clean-Up

For an ongoing construction clean-up, the KB team helps maintain the cleaning on a day to day basis during construction.

Final Construction Clean-Up

For a final construction clean-up, the KB team completes a full wipe down, top to bottom of the area/facility, ensuring all remaining construction dust and debris is fully removed. KB always recommends a final construction clean-up because it is a great way to wipe the slate clean before employees move into the new space.
