ABCO’s Top 5 Tips To Get Facilities Ready For Spring Break

With spring break quickly approaching, facilities across the country are gearing up for an influx of visitors. ABCO Cleaning Products, a provider of sustainable cleaning tools, shares tips to help facilities prepare for the spring break rush.

“Spring break is one of the busiest travel seasons. Preparing a facility in advance is crucial,” ABCO Cleaning Products Vice President of Operations Carlos Albir, Jr., said. “With the right tools and strategies, facilities can ensure a clean, welcoming environment for guests.”

Consider the following:

1. Prepare floors for heavy foot traffic — Increased foot traffic can cause dirt buildup and wear over time. Regular sweeping and mopping with high-quality tools help protect flooring and maintain their polished appearance.
2. Deep clean restrooms — A clean restroom leaves a lasting impression. 85% of consumers say an unclean restroom negatively impacts their perception of a business. Increase cleaning frequency and stock up on essential supplies to keep restrooms fresh and sanitary.
3. Create a waste management program — More visitors mean more waste. Place trash and recycling bins in high-traffic areas and schedule frequent disposal to prevent overflow. Such steps help maintain a clean environment.
4. Train your cleaning staff — A well-trained custodial team is key to managing the spring break rush. Provide refresher training on best practices and product usage to improve efficiency and maintain high cleaning standards.
5. Stock up on sustainable supplies — Plan ahead for the busy season by stocking up on essential cleaning supplies. Opt for environmentally conscious, third-party certified supplies, such as Green Seal, to ensure safety for both customers and the environment.
