    Could a simple pair of gloves be your business's best defense against costly fines and legal troubles? Explore the critical importance of providing proper personal protective equipment (PPE) for cleaning techs with us, Shannon Miller, and my co-host, Jamie Runco. We dive into the essential responsibilities of ensuring your team is equipped with the necessary safety gear, such as gloves, to protect them—and your business—from potential OSHA involvement. Through real-life stories and personal anecdotes, you'll learn how a small oversight could lead to significant consequences.

    New to the cleaning industry and feeling overwhelmed by the "ick factor"? You're not alone. Many newcomers experience a heightened aversion to germs, impacting their performance and glove usage. Jamie and I share practical strategies to tackle this challenge, from leveraging noise distractions during tasks to managing glove supply efficiently through subscription services. We also discuss the importance of considering employees' comfort levels and potential allergies, ensuring a smooth operational flow and addressing common hurdles faced by cleaning businesses of all sizes.

    Discover the essentials of setting up an efficient cleaning kit, whether you're a solo cleaner or managing a team. We cover everything from reliable cleaning products like rubbing alcohol and white vinegar to the practical equipment that ensures quality and consistency. Learn why microfiber cleaning cloths and the Hoover Portavac are our favorites, and how choosing the right tools can significantly enhance your cleaning efficiency. Join us for insights and practical tips that promise to elevate your cleaning business success to new heights.
