Is November a Month to Reflect? Valuable Lessons from a Season of Gratitude

11/6/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, November naturally invites reflection — a pause between the rush of fall and the excitement of the holidays. At Executive Building Maintenance, we see this time as an opportunity to appreciate how far we’ve come, celebrate the people who make our work meaningful, and look ahead to how we can continue improving in the months to come

Gratitude Builds Stronger Teams

A clean, safe, and organized workplace doesn’t just happen — it’s the result of teamwork and commitment. November reminds us to be thankful for our employees, who bring dedication and excellence to every site we maintain. A simple “thank you” can go a long way in keeping spirits high and motivation strong.

Consistency Creates Trust

For 40 years, EBM Janitorial has remained committed to providing dependable, top-quality cleaning services. Our clients know that when they work with us, they’re getting a team that delivers consistent results — not just once, but all year long.

How to Maintain Carpets & Rugs in Wet Weather

10/9/2025

0 Comments

 
As fall settles in and the rainy season begins, carpets and rugs face an uphill battle against mud, moisture, and everyday wear. Wet weather often means more dirt tracked indoors, damp entryways, and the potential for stains or even mold if left unmanaged. But with the right care and regular maintenance, your carpets can stay fresh, clean, and long-lasting all season long.

Tips for Protecting Carpets & Rugs During Wet Weather:

Picture

1. Use Entry Mats Strategically

Place heavy-duty mats at all entrances to stop dirt and water before it reaches your carpets. Look for mats that scrape mud off shoes while also absorbing excess moisture.

2. Vacuum More Frequently

Increase vacuuming during rainy months to prevent dirt and grit from embedding deep into carpet fibers. Focus on entryways, hallways, and other high-traffic zones.

​3. Address Spills and Stains Immediately

Moisture and spills left untreated can cause lasting damage. Always blot (never rub) and consider professional help for stubborn stains.

4. Schedule Professional Deep Cleaning

Hot water extraction or steam cleaning removes built-up dirt, bacteria, and allergens that vacuuming alone can’t reach. Regular professional care keeps your carpets looking vibrant and extends their lifespan.

Resolved Case: Deep Cleaning Brings New Life to High-Traffic Office Space

7/10/2025

0 Comments

 
Client: Regional Financial Services Firm
Location: Downtown Vancouver
Service: Deep Cleaning – Full Office Reset
Team: 4 EBM Janitorial Technicians

​The Challenge

The client, a busy financial office located in a high-rise building in downtown Vancouver, contacted EBM Janitorial after noticing a decline in workplace cleanliness despite their daily cleaning routine. Over time, carpets had become dull and stained, break room appliances were showing signs of grime buildup, and high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, elevator buttons, and light switches had not been thoroughly sanitized in months. The company was preparing for a site visit from head office executives and needed the space to reflect their standards of professionalism and hygiene.

Our Approach

Picture
EBM Janitorial quickly deployed a dedicated team of four technicians specializing in deep cleaning. We started with a walkthrough of the entire office space to identify problem areas and create a customized plan. Our process included:
  • Carpet Extraction Cleaning using hot water and eco-friendly solutions to remove deep-seated dirt and stains.
  • Break room Deep Clean, including interior appliance cleaning, degreasing of backsplash tiles, and sanitization of countertops.
  • High-Touch Surface Disinfection across all common areas, boardrooms, and personal workspaces using hospital-grade disinfectants.
  • Washroom Refresh, focusing on thorough cleaning of toilets, sinks, mirrors, and floors to restore freshness and hygiene.
  • Window Spot Cleaning, whether ground level, low or high rise, our window washers may use squeegee, tucker pole or bosun chair.

Summer Cleaning Checklist: Is Your Workplace Ready for the Heat?

6/17/2025

0 Comments

 
As the summer sun begins to shine brighter, it’s the perfect time to give your workplace a seasonal refresh. Warmer months can bring increased foot traffic, more dust and allergens, and even a rise in pest activity. That’s why a solid summer cleaning strategy is key—not only for appearances but also for the health and productivity of your team.
Picture
Here’s your go-to Summer Cleaning Checklist to help your workspace stay spotless, safe, and summer-ready:

✅ 1. Deep Clean Carpets & Flooring

Summer means more debris tracked in from outside. Schedule a deep carpet cleaning and floor scrubbing to remove dirt, sand, and allergens that settle in over time.

✅ 2. Dust Those Forgotten Areas

Think vents, ceiling fans, baseboards, and behind equipment. Summer allergens and dust can hide anywhere—regular dusting makes a big difference.

✅ 3. Clean Air Vents & Replace Filters

Give your HVAC system a boost by cleaning vents and replacing air filters. This ensures clean airflow and helps keep indoor temperatures comfortable while improving air quality.
Picture

✅ 4. Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces

Summer flu? It's real. Wipe down light switches, elevator buttons, phones, desks, and door handles with eco-friendly disinfectants to help prevent germs from spreading.

✅ 5. Window & Glass Cleaning

Longer days mean more sunlight—and more visible smudges. Keep windows and glass surfaces streak-free to boost natural light and make your space feel brighter and more open.

Push Through the Mid-Year Slump: Why a Tidy Office Is Key to Effectiveness

5/20/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
As we reach the mid-point of the year, many workplaces experience a noticeable dip in momentum. The initial energy of a fresh year fades, and the summer months bring distractions. But there’s one powerful, often overlooked way to help your team stay focused and productive: a clean, organized workspace.
At Executive Building Maintenance, we know that a tidy office is more than just aesthetically pleasing--
​it’s a tool for success.

1. Clean Spaces Fuel Clear Minds

Clutter and mess create mental noise. A well-maintained office allows employees to focus on their work instead of being distracted by disorganization or dust. Regular janitorial services help reduce visual chaos and create an atmosphere that supports concentration and creativity.
Picture

2. Mid-Year Is Prime Time for Reset

By now, offices have been through half a year of foot traffic, spills, and accumulation. Mid-year is the ideal time for a deep clean—reviving carpets, refreshing break rooms, and tackling high-touch areas that collect grime. It’s a chance to reset not just the workspace, but also your team’s mindset.

Winter’s Toll on Your Carpets: Why Deep Cleaning is a Must This Season

2/11/2025

0 Comments

 
​As winter fades away, your office carpets might be showing the signs of a long, harsh season. Snow, slush, salt, and dirt have likely taken their toll, leaving carpets looking worn, discoloured, and even emitting unpleasant odours. At EBM Janitorial, we understand the importance of maintaining clean and fresh carpets year-round, and now is the perfect time for a professional deep cleaning.
Picture

The Impact of Winter on Carpets

During the colder months, heavy foot traffic brings in moisture, grime, and de-icing salts that can severely damage carpet fibers. These residues not only leave visible stains but also cause carpets to deteriorate faster. Without proper maintenance, dirt gets embedded deep within the fibers, leading to permanent damage and costly replacements.
Picture


​Health Concerns: More Than Just Dirty Carpets

Beyond appearance, winter can leave behind unseen health hazards in your carpets. Moisture from snowmelt can promote mold growth, while accumulated dirt and debris trap allergens, bacteria, and dust mites. Poor indoor air quality can impact employees’ health and productivity, making professional carpet cleaning a crucial step in maintaining a healthy workspace.
