We’ve all heard the “tried and true” cleaning tips passed down through the generations. But what if some of those methods are actually making your cleaning more difficult, or worse, damaging your surfaces? At Circle A Janitorial, we’re dedicated to providing effective, professional cleaning services, and we’re here to bust some common cleaning myths.
Myth #1: More soap equals a cleaner floor.
It seems logical, right? More suds mean more cleaning power. But in reality, using too much soap, especially on commercial floors, can leave behind a sticky residue. This residue not only attracts dirt and grime, making your floors look dirty faster, but it can also become a slipping hazard. Our professional floor care services use the right balance of products and techniques to ensure your floors are genuinely clean and safe.
Myth #2: Wiping down a surface with a dirty rag is okay.
You wouldn’t wash your hands with a dirty sponge, so why would you clean a surface with a soiled rag? Using a dirty cloth simply spreads germs and bacteria from one area to another. This is especially critical in high-traffic commercial and worship facilities. Our teams use fresh, sanitized cloths and towels for each task, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring a truly hygienic clean.
Myth #3: One cleaner works for every surface.
The idea of a “one-size-fits-all” cleaner is appealing for its simplicity, but it’s a surefire way to damage your property. Harsh chemicals can be too abrasive for certain surfaces, while a mild cleaner might not be powerful enough for others. Our construction clean-up and industrial janitorial services utilize specialized, professional-grade products designed for specific materials and messes. This ensures a deep, effective clean without causing damage.
Myth #4: Cleaning and disinfecting are the same thing.
Many people use these terms interchangeably, but they are very different. Cleaning removes visible dirt, dust, and grime from a surface. Disinfecting, on the other hand, kills germs, viruses, and bacteria. You must clean a surface before you can properly disinfect it. Our comprehensive daily and detailed cleaning services ensure both steps are taken to create a truly healthy and sanitized environment for your employees and customers.

We use proven, professional methods and the right tools for every job, whether it’s commercial cleaning, complete carpet care, or a custom cleaning service. Leave the hard work and myth-busting to the experts and experience the difference a professional clean can make for your business.
