World Leader In Cost-Effective Facility Housekeeping Systems

Soil is a substance found where it is not wanted.  Nature places microorganisms in soil to conduct the process of digesting soil and returning its nutrients back into the earth.  Some of the microorganisms can make living things sick and are therefore referred to as germs.  Living things have immune systems that keep the "microorganism/germ count" under control.  Buildings do not have immune systems to battle germs.  Therefore, it is imperative that building managers and custodians focus on minimizing the availability of germs by following residue-free cleaning practices.

The essays below identify a host of facility problems and then explain how to proceed in dealing with them.  We invite you to suggest a topic for a future article.  Send your comments to gabesr@gabrielfirst.com
