At STAR Building Services, we know that providing top-tier janitorial, concierge, and handyman services isn’t just about showing up — it’s about delivering consistent, high-quality results that enhance the value and appearance of every building we service. That’s why continued training with our operations team is a priority.
One area where ongoing training makes a direct and measurable impact is the proper dilution of cleaning chemicals. It might seem like a small detail, but the way we mix and use chemicals has a major effect on both the client’s bottom line and the overall look and feel of their property.
Why Proper Dilution Matters:
1. Cost Savings: Using the correct dilution means using only the amount of product needed to get the job done — nothing more, nothing less. Overusing chemicals leads to waste and unnecessary spending, while underuse means ineffective cleaning that requires more time and effort to correct. Proper dilution is the most immediate and effective way to reduce overhead costs for our clients.
2. Better Results, Longer-Lasting Surfaces: A cleaning solution mixed too strong can leave behind a sticky residue, cause streaking, or even damage finishes over time. Too weak, and it won’t clean effectively. Properly diluted chemicals ensure that surfaces stay clean, shiny, and free from damage, improving the overall appearance of the building and extending the life of floors, countertops, and other finishes.
3. Safety and Compliance: Incorrectly mixed chemicals can pose health and safety risks to staff and building occupants. Proper training ensures that our team understands the right mixing ratios and handling procedures to keep everyone safe.
Investing in the continued education of our operations team means better outcomes for our clients, greater efficiency, and a more polished, professional appearance for the buildings we care for. That’s the STAR standard — attention to detail, a commitment to excellence, and a focus on value at every level.
