 According to the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, over 26lbs. of dirt can  be tracked into a facility in one month by just 1000 people. The cost of removing that dirt can be up to $500 per pound! If you want to avoid extensive cleaning  costs, your best bet is an efficient matting system.

 Matting systems are designed to stop dirt, soil, dust, residue, grime, and  other foreign materials from entering your facility. The benefits of installing  matting are endless- from a better facility appearance, to increased safety for your  workers, an easier daily cleaning routine, less damage to products, a lower cost of carpet care, and decreased frequency in replacing carpet and flooring. 

There are three types of matting systems:

1) Outside Matting- Outside matting is durable, long lasting, and stain resistant. We recommend non-backed mats so that dirt and moisture can pass through the mat for easy clean-up. 

2) Foyer & Entrance Matting- The mats need to be durable and non-slip. We recommend the 3M Entrance Floor Mats because they come in different sizes and construction depending on traffic. They are also attractive and look nice in a foyer, with colors like Brown, Slate, Ebony and Grey.

3) Inside Matting- Inside Matting  is usually made of nylon or polypropylene with a vinyl backing to hold moisture and dirt off the floor- backless mats are a no no for indoor use because you will stain your floor! The vinyl back will also make sure the mat stays in place and doesn’t move along the floor. 

Not only should you consider what type of mat to purchase, but you also need to think about what size is necessary. Many factors come into play when deciding what type of mat you need- how much traffic, how much moisture, and what type of mat you prefer.

Sometimes it’s the little things that get us through the day. Even in dark times, we can gather the strength to carry on just by laughing at a joke or marveling at a nature scene. However, there’s simply nothing better than picking up an enchanting scent. It elevates our moods, making us more inclined to get things done, and that’s why air fresheners are great to have on hand.

Air fresheners will make your home environment much more pleasant, filling it with a fragrance that will both excite and inspire you. When things become stale, it’s important to inject a little flavor to get them moving again, and a fresh scent is an excellent way to accomplish this. Additionally, if a foul odor ever stages an attack, you’ll be able to stave it off with little effort. So, always keep a can on hand; you never know when it can bring you out of a rut!

Breast Cancer affects 1 in 9 women today. Whether it’s a family member, a friend, or an acquaintance, we all know someone who has fought this deadly disease. Thankfully, with increased awareness and studies, breast cancer is no longer a death sentence. My own grandmother has fought breast cancer for over 10 years, and is still winning to this day because of amazing medical advances in the treatment of cancer.

With your purchase of VendPink Tampon Dispenser and Tampons, the company will donate 20% of the proceeds to Y-Me, a National Breast Cancer Organization. With that money, Y-Me will help fund research, form support groups, and spread awareness about the disease.

Additionally, the dispensers and tampons are made by Hospeco, a well known manufacturer of janitorial supplies. Not only will your purchase benefit a great cause, but they are useful, high quality products. If you need a tampon dispenser anyway, why not purchase one that contributes to a good cause? 

Personally, I feel very strongly about this cause. My grandmother is currently undergoing radiation treatment and continues to battle the disease. Hopefully, someday, we can eradicate cancer. Do your part and buy a VendPink Tampon Dispenser from CleaningProductsWorld.com.
