Nightly Janitorial

Nothing feels better than walking into a clean, refreshed space to start a new day. KB provides nightly janitorial services with dependable team members that consistently deliver quality services to meet your expectations.

KB understands that the most important aspect of nightly janitorial service is trust and security. KB has mandatory processes in place, such as uniforms, ID badges and nightly checklists that help ensure a secured facility, as well as scheduled check-ins by the KB Office Team.

Nightly janitorial service includes such duties as:

Dusting
Vacuuming
Disposing of trash & recycling
Sweeping & mopping
Glass cleaning
Kitchens
Restrooms

Day Maker Services

In high traffic facilities it is sometimes necessary to have a day maker present to ensure your facility is cleaned and stocked during regular business hours. KB day makers are trained and highly experienced in making your facility look well maintained all day.

Day maker services include such duties as:

Restocking products
Restrooms
Kitchens
Entryways
Common Areas

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

KB has a LEED Green Associate on our team that has concise training and continuous education to help you create a green workplace that is both environmentally friendly and socially responsible.

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

Microfiber cleaning towels & mops
GreenSeal certified cleaning chemicals

Environmentally friendly paper products/consumables
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

Whether building a new space from the ground up or renovating an old space, KB can clean up the mess and prepare the new space to be move in ready.

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.

KB Building Services (KB) understands that in today’s world, a major precedence has been placed on daily, weekly and monthly disinfection.

KB offers multiple options for janitorial services that provide a stronger emphasis on sanitation and disinfecting. We can incorporate these disinfection processes into day maker services, nightly janitorial services and as one-time cleaning events, both in proactive methods and reactionary post positive pandemic case situations. KB is here to partner with your company to ensure your employees are provided with a safe and healthy environment to work in. Trust Us, It’s Clean.

Hand Wipe Disinfection

KB utilizes the Oxivir Tb RTU spray chemical as our general purpose cleaner.

This chemical is sprayed onto a microfiber cloth and disinfects all surfaces it touches within 1 minute. KB focuses on sanitizing high touch points & surfaces on a nightly basis using this chemical. We also recommend our partners provide the Oxivir Tb wipes for their employees to use to sanitize their own personal workstations on a daily basis.

High Touch Points:
• Door knobs
• Light switches
• Cupboard handles
• Drawer handles
• Fridge handles
• Microwave handles
• Toilet flushers
• Urinal flushers
• Soap pumps
• Faucets
• Elevator buttons
• Hand railings

Clorox Total 360

KB offers disinfection services using the Clorox Total 360 system.

This system uses an innovative electrostatic sprayer that creates a charge to adhere to surfaces with a force greater than gravity. Once sprayed, the chemical (which is more like a misted charge) latches onto everything around it. It provides uniform coverage throughout, allowing us to complete disinfect & sanitize everything top to bottom, including employee’s personal spaces (i.e. computer, keyboard, computer mouse, desk chair, etc.).

This machine is great for disinfecting a large area in a shorter amount of time in both a proactive way and in a COVID-19 positive case situation. The chemical lives on the surfaces sprayed for up to 7 days, meaning the chemical helps fight off the COVID-19 virus continuously. We have partners that utilize this service on a weekly basis, bi-weekly basis and monthly basis in order to keep their facilities sanitized. In order to utilize this system in your facility, the building will need to be completely cleared of all people during the spraying and for 15 minutes after, and then can be occupied as normal again.

Disinfection Programs

KB can work with you to create a proactive disinfection program for your facility.

We can assist with obtaining sanitizing products, creating specific disinfecting processes and providing literature for your employees to better understand how to protect themselves. We can also be a resource in the event that you have a confirmed positive COVID-19 case and need immediate assistance with disinfection, either in hand wipe form or the Clorox Total 360. KB’s employees are all equipped with the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to provide these types of services, and are also fully trained on how to disinfect in both a proactive way and a post positive case way. KB also requires all of our employees to wear face masks whenever working in a KB serviced facility.
