There are a few facts of life that just can't be denied, and one of them is that, no matter how hard you try, your carpet is going to get stained one way or another. When it comes to cleaning those stains up, their "origin stories" make all the difference--which means that you don't have to stress out about carpet stains, because they're going to happen; all you have to do is know what caused them, and then you have the power to get rid of them.

When you're in charge of making sure that everything runs smoothly, cleaning can be a little difficult to organize, budget, and follow through with.

Winter brings a lot of unique challenges to cleanliness and health, but there's no place as deeply affected as the office. It's not just about so many people sharing a small space--it's the snow that gets tracked inside, the recirculated air, and the winter germs that everyone is bringing to work with them.

When you think about cleaning, there are probably some specific areas that come to mind--bathrooms, floors, doorknobs. Human beings have been cleaning these places since we designed them in the first place. However, the truth is that there's one more area that needs regular cleaning but often gets overlooked: the walls. It's a big deal. In fact, you might be surprised by just how much of a difference clean walls can make.
