The art of gamifying commercial cleaning

If you’ve been a regular reader of our blog, you already know we’re into cleaning… big time. You might be asking, “What keeps you sane while doing something the rest of us have no desire to do?” Well, wonder no more. Here are a few things we do to keep our job interesting:

The quest for perfect vacuum lines.

We groove to those satisfying, straight vacuum lines on carpets. In fact, they’re like the Holy Grail for commercial cleaners. Achieving this level of perfection takes the precision of a brain surgeon. One wrong step, and it’s back to square one.

The paperclip and staple safari.

If there was a competition for finding the most bizarre items in the strangest places, commercial cleaners would win, hands down. To us, we make a game out of it. It’s like an Easter egg hunt. Heck, we even found a full stapler in a potted plant once. Don’t ask.

Solving the mystery of never-ending dust.

No matter how often we dust, it always comes back with a vengeance. You know, kinda like a bad sequel to a horror movie. We like to challenge ourselves to figure out why this phenomenon happens. When we figure it out, we’ll let you know. In the meantime, we consider it job security.

The chair maze game.

Office chairs are like mischievous toddlers – they never stay where you leave them. One moment they’re tucked neatly under a desk; the next, they’re scattered like they’ve been in a high-stakes game of musical chairs. Navigating this obstacle course is a skill only seasoned pros like us can master without losing sanity.

The next time you walk into a sparkling clean office, spare a thought for the unsung heroes behind the scenes. What we do isn’t sexy. But it matters. And how we go about it makes it fun. We not only sweep floors and empty trash cans. We navigate a labyrinth of unusual challenges to keep your space pristine. Who knows? With the stuff we encounter, we might just make a sitcom out of it. Or perhaps a game show.
