Spring Cleaning to Control Pests

Spring cleaning means much more than looking shiny and new again.  The warmer weather is finally here, which also means the arrival of pests. Pests damage your health AND your facility. They can spread disease in a matter of days. Take control before an infestation begins!

·    It’s a great time to wipe out cabinets and discard food that has expired.

·   How about those areas in the Break Room / Lunch Room that get ignored? Clean behind the refrigerator, vending machines, microwave and other large appliances.

This is also a great time to do some general maintenance on your building:

·   Be sure leaky faucets/pipes are repaired; Pests love moisture. 

·   Check your screens, doors and windows- repair or re-seal where needed.

Too late and you already have a case of the creepy crawlies? Try Spartan’s CR-2 Roach and Ant Killer Spray. It kills ants, roaches, centipedes, spiders and other crawling bugs that I can’t even list now because I am starting to itch. CR-2 also provides residual control for up to 3 months!

Bring The Shine Back- No Refinishing Required!

Not sure how your floors are looking, but winter has got us like ARGH!  The ice melt and gravel tracking in along with the boot traffic can be hard on floors. Extra matting can help, but it doesn’t stop everything. I guess we will just have to strip and refinish them…but WAIT! There’s Spraybuff to the rescue!  

Cleans AND shines all at one time!

Spraybuff uses a floor finish polymer blended with a high-quality detergent- great for removing scuffs, black heel marks, and scratches without disturbing the finish on the floor.

Minimize maintenance costs!

Spraybuff minimizes floor care maintenance expenditures by reducing the amount of dollars and labor spent stripping, sealing, and refinishing. Spray buffing provides important preventive maintenance. You can use it to restore traffic lanes, remove scratches, or add a high gloss to an already waxed or finished floor.

How to use it:

IMPORTANT: Before use, read product label and SD sheet. Wet floors may be slippery. Prevent pedestrian traffic with signs or barricades.

1. Dust and damp mop floor

2. Spray Spraybuff lightly over a 4 ft. square area near the floor machine. Just mist the area.

3. Start buffing the Spraybuff area immediately, moving the machine left to right or back and forth. When floors have been buffed dry, turn pad over and buff to a high gloss. Spraybuff can be used with floor machines of all speeds.
