Kansas School District Superintendent

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing a letter of support for Gabe Zanche, Sr. and the Gabriel First Corp. on behalf of USD 208 WaKeeney Public Schools. For a number of years our schools were cleaned by a professional outside cleaning company. When the decision was made to once again begin cleaning our over 131,000 square feet of building space with newly hired employees, Gabe was a huge help. I had contacted Gabe from a mailing we received showing glossy floors.

 Our district did not even own a mop bucket at the time of the changeover so all equipment and supplies needed to be purchased, and the staff needed to be trained. I do not know how many times Gabe has helped our staff with advise, but it is well over 100 times on the phone and once in person. He is quick to explain the chemistry behind why something is working or not, and what can be done to fix the problem. Gabe tells you what you need to use whether he sells it or not, and gives ideas where to get it if he doesn't.

The Gabriel First Corporation is a service company that sells cleaning supplies. Service and satisfaction are the business model and the rule. I believe that their cleaning products are the best on the market without question, but nothing will work if the people who use it don't know how.

I recommend Gabriel First products and service without reservation. I had a University "School Plant and Facilities" class tour our buildings last weekend as part of their class. The graduate students who attended commented on "how clean our buildings are". I was very proud. They were there to view our new construction first hand, but the lack of graffiti, pleasant smell, and glossy floors and lockers stole the show. Thanks Gabe for all you have done for our head custodian Frank Welch and the students of USD 208 WaKeeney Public Schools.

Sincerely,
Rob Scheib
