Okay, I’m here with our pre-Chinese New Year cleaning, and this is a tradition here in Chinese culture, to clean before the new year, once a year. We actually have a cleaning contest to see which floor can do the best job cleaning.
I really think it’s kind of a neat thing to have, an organizational cleaning in the office. Because what happens is, usually in America, there’s no such organized cleaning, and then things just pile up, and they just, they start to look unprofessional, and it looks real sloppy around an office.
So, but uh, this is good not only for the organization, but also personally, because we accumulate things that we don’t need. Think about your desk—you’ve got stuff there for two, three, four years that you’ve never even looked at—you don’t even need. It’s time to get rid of them.
Go through your stuff now, and look at it. If there’s anything you haven’t even used in six months, you might want to think about throwing it out.
And, uh—I’ll tell you about accumulating things. Alex, you can show them some of the cleaning here, and see all the work that’s being done—right.
So, anyways I want to show you something. There’s an office in Scott Township where my father used to work. What they do—they don’t throw anything out—they actually have started to put garbage bags over chairs. (Come on Mabel.) And they actually use the garbage bags as, like a filing system. And their whole—they’ve got this big room full of these garbage bags. Of course, the tables are all piled up with things. And, uh, it’s really embarrassing; one, it’s embarrassing, it doesn’t look professional; two, I don’t know how they find anything, in this atmosphere.
So, don’t let your office get to this point. Have an organized cleaning once a year. We do it here in Asia, so do it back there in America.
Goodbye!

Hello Friends,
If you have decided that cleaning offices is a good way to make a living, then you need to get good information about what is involved with this type of work. There are different sources that you can use to learn how to make money office cleaning. We also provide Office cleaning Los Angeles at: www.prestigepropertyservices.com
Construction clean up services involve ground up construction, corporate modifications, remodels, and upgrades or new addition. When you're planning to start this relatively unfamiliar kind of business, you first need to have necessary permits and license. Also, just like other services, you need to train your staff before starting your business. There may also some hazards and accidents that could happen during clean up jobs, so it is better to have insurance and special protection for your staff. For this business, you need to have vehicles like trucks and other equipments specialized for clearing debris and garbage from the construction site. You need to clean up every rubble and waste in the office or building, remodel it, or add new designs and furnishings to make it more presentable. Risk is much higher in this venture especially when cleaning debris, so you may ask higher fee to your clients compared to other type of cleaning service. For more details just visit us at Cleaning UK.
