Every time you do ATP swabbing, you should do two swabs on the same surface. With every ATP swab, there's a 20% chance that the swab is wrong by a factor of two. But if you use two swabs, that frequency of failure rate becomes less than 1%. Suddenly you've lifted your likelihood of good data to a much higher level. - Dr. Greg Whiteley

The topic for today's discussion is whether or not there really is going to be a 9% growth in the custodial/janitorial cleaning market over the next decade.

This report says: Global Janitorial Services Market Report 2023: Growing Demand for the Real Estate Industry Fuels the Sector Link to the report: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-janitorial-services-market-report-2023-growing-demand-for-the-real-estate-industry-fuels-the-sector-301849394.html

Javier starts the conversation by telling us what his Tampa-based, Modern Cleaning Solutions is doing and some of the services they are providing outside of servicing the normal, routine cleaning tasks that everyone thinks about.

Bobby from GEM Supply looks at it differently as maybe this 9% is just riding the inflation wave of business. He points out that in Florida, building is booming, and cleaning operations are most likely outpacing the rest of the US.

Don, a facility advisor for GEM Supply has a completely different take on the subject. His belief is that this growth is due more to the generational issues of "someone else" doing the cleaning because they don't want to do that. He also points out that rental properties in Florida are booming and are the growth sector janitorial operations should be looking to for their business growth.

Work-life harmony is more the correct way of looking at our lives rather than the old, Worklife Balance of before, says Mickey Anderson.

In this episode of our podcast with Dave, she explores the reason we never really achieve a balance, but a harmony within our lives of all the parts of who and what we are.

Do you prioritize your value tasks for the day?

Are you spending your $100 an hour day on $10 tasks?

If so, you need to contract those tasks out. Mickey talks about a "Time or Calendar Audit".

Every time you put a task on the calendar, put a $ figure by it.

At the end of a month or quarter, see how your day is filled with the right $ figures.

You just have to listen to get the full picture here but Mickey gave us a quote from the book, "Double, Double"

R&D - Rip Off & Duplicate

So, instead of you spending all the your time researching, USE AI.

Now, when it comes to using CHAT, here is some of what they talked about.

First, you have to tell CHAT what you want. "Write me a...." If you don't tell it what you want, then it can't CHAT with you! The more you talk with it, the more it learns what you need. Mickey says, "The more you train it the better it gets."

Second, be specific in your request. The more you tell it exactly what you want or what to change in the message, the more it can search the internet for the best response.

Mickey says there are AI tools that help you target the right tool for the right needs. Maybe you need to look at https://www.jasper.ai/

Sean DeVore talks about some of the challenges he faces when the manufacturer of the material is called out to address the issues the client is having.

Many times, Sean explains, it is as simple as WATER and a white cloth to show them that the process they are using is leaving a film of chemicals and soils.

Keagen Hadley is an occupational therapy doctor specializing in using psychological treatments such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with his patients.

When injuries happen, most often it is the emotional scares that are left behind that are the most problematic.

As Keagan explains in this podcast, it is the loss of identity for many athletes and it was for him. This makes him uniquely qualified to be an expert in changing the way the recovery of ACL trauma is dealt with.

In “Torn”, Keagan hopes to provide you with the unique guidance to move past your injury in a realistic way, dealing with both the physical and mental trauma in the best way possible.

Sean DeVore schools us on the issues that arise when a carpet is flooded and then has to be removed.

In the case he presents today, it also required abatement as there was asbestos found in the layers of tile under the carpet.

Sean then talks about the main issue of 2022 was utilizing quality installers for vinyl flooring.

Most of the issue was, and most likely still will be, that most installers are not professionally qualified to lay these flooring materials down.

Thus, his advice.

Make sure you have the right contractor with prior experience installing all types of Luxury Vinyl and sheet goods.

Don & Javier continued the conversation to discuss the movement between in-house services and contracted services.

You don't want to miss the discussion on the use of automated equipment when there are not enough people to do the tasks.

Is automation the use of robotics?

Don states that: Automation is “the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system operate automatically.” Here is an article you may enjoy on the subject: https://www.issa.com/articles/robotic...

Marketing * Dave mentions a recent podcast with Mickey Anderson https://beyondcleanwithace.podbean.co...

Tom Sauvage has been an Assistant Superintendent at Meramec Valley R-lll for 5 years and says it is all about people, no matter what.

Meramec Valley is the first district in Missouri to use Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) for a new renovation of an old building of 8 classrooms.

So just what is ICF, foam surrounded by poured concrete is the short answer as Tom explains. 

Less expensive, faster to build, and locally sourced.

At the time of this podcast taping, Hurricane IAN had just passed through the state of Florida.

Our thoughts are with those less fortunate, who have lost everything to the storm including those who lost family.

For Sean and I, it was just wind and rain, and a few limbs to clean up.

We taped this on Monday after, and the internet was a bit spotty, so pardon the glitches.

Sean and I both presented at the recent FSPMA conference held here in Orlando.

Our session was on Understanding Luxury Vinyl flooring.

It was well attended and we answered quite a few questions.

The following week, this podcast was in Missouri at the MSPMA conference. At both conferences, we presented the Rock Star Custodian program and as always, NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN.

www.RockStarsofCleaning.com

As always, Sean and I did talk about the maintenance of flooring or the lack of it.

Listen to the complete podcast to learn what the issues with floor maintenance are and how simple it can be if you want to change that is!

Today we join Paul Noe at his retirement party held at GEM Supply in Lakeland, Florida. (pardon the background noise, but it was a party!)

Since 1978, Paul has been working with his family in the cleaning industry here in Lakeland, after leaving Pittsburg in 1977 when steel mills were closing.

Paul talks about how much money could be made, Back in the Day, by just taking on the cleaning jobs. In 1980/81, the family gave up the cleaning side of the business and focused just on selling supplies.

He tells about working weekends, and holidays and getting those 2-3 AM calls, not to mention the call on a Sunday afternoon during the football game!

NO ONE WILL HAVE HIS CELL # ANYMORE!

Paul reminisces about learning what a buffer was and how to "Buff the Floor" as the client wanted. Hey, that was in the days before GOOGLE!

Punch a time clock! Heck no, not in 40+ years.

There are just too many things we talked about as we tripped through Paul Noe's memories. You'll have to listen to catch them all.

However, we will tell you that he is leaving the continental US as soon as he can, that's his retirement plan.

Thank you, Paul Noe, for what you and your family have given the cleaning industry, your customers that became family, and the friends you made along the way.

WE RAISE OUR GLASS

"Cleaners make lousy disinfectants. Disinfectants make lousy cleaners and Cleaner/Disinfectants are the worst," says Graeme Marsh our guest this afternoon on Beyond Clean With ACE.

Graeme Marsh is President of ZBioscience.

The biological attack on surfaces is continuous, so must be the products used.  Can we not use beneficial bugs to counteract the bad ones.

We use probiotics within our bodies to balance, displace the bad bugs within.

"Check out the TED talk by Dr. Jessica Green," says Graeme.

Why not clean with a probiotic and transfer them around instead of bad bugs?  We need good microbes in our environment.  Use them!

Three Key Things you need to be doing as a CEO to get your business to Profit, Cash Flow, and Wealth as well as be recession-proof in 2022, according to Kirsha Campbell, our guest speaker today.

  1. Be Aware of All Costs - Being aware helps you manage the changes by having systems in place.
    • Know the real numbers - labor is highest, fixed costs must be itemized
    • Track them - then you see them
    • Are income streams leading to cash?
    • Profit & Cash - Cash is King
  2. Business Health - Don'ts
    • Don't put money into the business for basic expenses.
    • Don't have accounts receivables of high value.
    • Don't have enough sales coming in.
    • Don't have one client responsible for 90% of sales.
  3. You'll have to listen to the last tip.

Kirsha says, "Have systems in place that are effective. Never compromise your standards because of the microwave mentality that is so widespread in our society!"

Steve Fredlund asks,

  • ”What causes leaders to be unhappy?"
  • "Have you been a happy leader?"
  • "Just what do you mean when you tell someone you’re not having a ball?”

Are you making decisions by default? Most leaders do. Listen as Steve explains how we just go along with the easiest path not really knowing why.

15 years ago Steve began a quest to become a happier leader. While that journey has been up, down, and sideways, he has learned some of the major forces behind leader unhappiness.

These insights are bringing clarity and hope to many leaders he had the fortune of sharing with because the good news is that there is a cure to our unhappiness; it is not too late to reverse the effects of years contributing to our growing unhappiness.

Steve Fredlund spent 25 years in Fortune 500 companies including Medtronic, 3M, Thrivent Financial, and Allianz; he has an MBA and is a fellow of the society of actuaries. Steve is a 2 Time TEDx speaker and East African Humanitarian.

Mike Ward, a Facilities Manager at a school district in Ohio says, "There are a few options on how to handle Face-to-Face meeting situations."

  • Use surveys to set up the meetings prior to going into the particulars.
  • Take a direct services staff member with you; ie. a plumber, electrician, custodian, etc.
  • Show the super or principal what you know is happening from surveys you have done, maybe even how to use the system fully.
  • Do a building walk, be sure that a service staff member is with you.

Mike says these will change depending on the age of the buildings and can range up to an hour or more. Principals know what they want to show you.

Always ask what they feel needs room for improvements. Some of the challenges is knowing your principals as they change, depending on how large the district is.

Mike says, "You're never done with customer service."

J. Darrel Hicks presented a 2-hour class on COVID-19, risk assessment, processing of surface, what W.A.S.T.E. stands for and the value of being certified to handle the issue which comes with infection prevention in both the workplace and at home.

In today's podcast, the guys talk about the use of hand sanitizer vs. hand washing, knowing your personal space and controlling your environment. Did you know that you touch entrance points on your face over 19 times every hour? These are the places (eyes, nose, mouth) where infectious agents gain entrance to your body and can cause infections and sometimes death.

Here are a few links to the information Darrel and Dave spoke about.

Becoming an Infection Prevention Expert starts with a positive proactive mindset. There are plenty of resources easily available to help schools get on the right track to be proactive and not reactive. Join us on this podcast as we discuss this topic further.

Podcast Topic: The importance of being an Infection Prevention Expert at Schools. Every year it is estimated that over 60 million school days lost every year to influenza and norovirus according to ISSA, costing schools billions of dollars in lost federal funding.

And, according to the CDC, this year’s flu season is currently the worst over the past 10 years! And consider this, according to a Keep Kids Healthy research conducted by Victory, over 40% of school custodians and administration admit to not having any infection prevention protocols. Knowing these statistics, something needs to change!

The way schools are cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting is not working.

We want to help! Becoming an Infection Prevention Expert starts with a positive proactive mindset.

There are plenty of resources easily available to help schools get on the right track to be proactive and not reactive. Join us on this podcast as we discuss this topic further.
