Every industry and organization has unique cleaning requirements that require scheduling flexibility, especially in a post-pandemic work environment where anything can occur, which is why Vanguard Cleaning Systems of the Ozarks customizes its services and schedule to fit the specific environment of each customer and site.

Smells elicit strong emotions, memories, and impressions in humans that studies have correlated to job performance and occupant satisfaction, as well as customer satisfaction and shopping habits.

Returning to Pre-Pandemic Concepts of Facility Perception as it Relates to Odor Control
During the pandemic, most facilities focused on cleaning and disinfecting over nearly every other function of cleaning.

The size of the janitorial company contracted to clean your facility strongly correlates with their ability to provide a full range of services, adapt to changing conditions, respond to emergencies, and meet your organization's health and wellness needs now and in the future.

Routine facility cleaning and disinfecting is critical year-round, but even more so during the challenging cold and flu season, especially in buildings housing vulnerable demographics--young, old, and immunocompromised occupants.

Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Facility Every Day and When Someone is Sick
Maintaining surface cleanliness and hygiene levels is critical for ensuring occupant health, safety, and productivity all year long.

Like the mythological Goldilocks, commercial office cleaning customers often struggle with challenges stemming from the size--whether too large or too small--of their janitorial provider's business and corresponding capabilities.

Size Matters When Hiring Commercial Cleaning Services
When considering prospective commercial office cleaning providers, time invested in assessing the size of the entire business and the team(s) that will be cleaning your office building(s) can be beneficial.

Before COVID-19, cold and flu season negatively impacted learning environments and student attendance, often due to a combination of low levels of hand hygiene compliance coupled with seemingly unassailable challenges with the cleaning and disinfection of large buildings and numerous classrooms.

Supporting the local communities serviced by Vanguard Cleaning Systems of the Ozarks' many independently owned franchise janitorial companies is an honor, privilege, and responsibility we take pride and pleasure in being part of.

Improving Communities Through Local Outreach Programs
Members of Vanguard Cleaning Systems of the Ozarks routinely commit both time and money to charities in our local community that focus on:

Increasing food security.

Due to COVID, facility occupants and consumers are more concerned with cleanliness, hygiene, and safety than in years past, placing pressure on many financially strapped organizations to deliver high-quality results with little overhead on tight budgets.

Custodial work, once considered unskilled labor, is now a highly technical profession requiring a wide range of skills from both service providers and management to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness, occupant safety, and customer satisfaction.

Entryway matting helps maintain the professional image of the facility, protects the built environment from wear and tear, protects occupants from slips, trips, and fall accidents, and reduces the amount of soil tracked into the facility, resulting in lower overall cleaning costs.
