We are in the midst of 'Salt Season'

Late January…we are in the midst of winter and also "Salt Season". In Michigan this is a common site when we walk into a building, either an over-zealous service thought that it would be better to dump an entire bag of salt right outside your business door, or your greeted by those less than attractive residue marks (Salt Stains) on your hard surfaced floors and carpeting.

GOOD news…there are things that can be done prior or in-between Royal Services coming in to make that continual GREAT first impression. A few easy tips to assist in the continual great first impression includes having a vacuum near the main entry door for a periodic vacuum patrol during the work day. Carpet runners and runner service should be YOUR best friend this time of year. Human nature of walking on a carpeted runner is natural, like walking on a runway, and at the same time, a lot of the moisture and ice repellants are left there, on the carpeted runner and not all over your building. Take a moment to leave a carpeted runner or door mat outside the door too, you'll be amazed at how much snow and slop will be left outside of your building. Keep a wet floor sign near that door, just as an extra reminder that caution is needed.

Contact Royal Services for other useful tips. On request, we will use salt stain neutralizer weekly to assist in those heavy salt stain areas of your hard surfaced floor. We are dedicated to our business partner network, and in working together to make that GREAT first impression in Winter, Spring, Summer or Autumn. How can we help with your salt stains?
