Pak-it Revolutionary Cleaning Products

Pak-it cleaners Pak it

Pak-it products are cleaning pods in over 30 formulas for janitorial, housekeeping, breakroom and facilities maintenance. They are the same concept as dishwasher or laundry detergent pods, and just as easy to use.

The pods are color-coded and there is no need to measure anything or cut them open. You simply fill a spray bottle (or bucket depending on the product) with water, drop in the pod, and it dissolves within 2 minutes.

The pods are a great choice for businesses that want to save money, reduce waste, and conserve storage space. Instead of purchasing individual bottles of cleaners that take up a lot of spaced in the janitorial closet, simply purchase a pack of small pods to use only when needed. No special training is needed to use the pods. They are color-coded to match the proper bottle. There is no worry about measuring, spilling, or coming into contact with the chemicals because the pods do not need to be opened.

Pak-it products are all made in the USA by Big 3 Packaging located in Philadelphia. They create less waste than traditional cleaning products because the spray bottle is designed to be refilled and reused, and the packets dissolve completely, so there is nothing to throw away.

The packaging makes the system easy to use. The pods are color-coded to match the bottles. The text on the bottle is in Spanish and English. Pak-it has created an easy, efficient, less expensive, and less wasteful way to clean!

Pak-its are available in formulas for just about any cleaning need. These include glass cleaner, floor cleaner, multi-purpose cleaner, car wash, boat and deck wash, deodorizer, carpet cleaner, disinfectant, window cleaner, laundry detergent, and many more.

Sponge Blog Cleaning Pants!!

Sponge got grunge?

It is important to clean the break room on a regular basis. Have you ever stopped to wonder how many germs live on a kitchen sponge? From cleaning up break room spills, to dirty dishes those sponges see a lot of germs daily. Here is how you can keep those community break room sponges sanitary for everyday office use. Do this weekly to make those sponges last longer and prevent them from becoming moldy (and prevent that smelly odor they can get!)

  1. Rinse sponge thoroughly to remove all remaining soap in hot running water squeezing the sponge until the water runs clear.
  2. Dip in clean water and make sure it is completely wet.
  3. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until hot. This ensures the sponge doesn’t dry out and catch fire.
  4. Use tongs to remove from microwave and rinse.
  5. Let completely dry.

You Should Be Cleaning This More Often

With cold and flu season upon us, we all want to do what we can to be prepared and evade those weeks stuck at home in bed. Knowing places where viruses and bacteria love to hang out and how to properly clean these places are a vital part of the evasion process. Here are the top 5 places that you should be cleaning more often in the office and home.

1. A Shared Computer

Anything that gets a lot of direct finger and hand contact tends to be a hot spot for germs. All it takes is for you to contract something is for your fingers to touch a germ infected mouse or keyboard then proceed to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Be sure you are cleaning these shared spaces with an electronic cleaning wipe before and after each use!

2. The Refrigerator Door

Whether it is in your home or the one at the office, this handle gets a lot of action. And if there are even the tiniest bits of foods on it, bacteria can feed and multiply. Once a week (or daily if someone around you is sick) you can wipe down this door with Windex Touch-Up Cleaner which kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria.

3. Your Cell Phone

Considering all the handling it gets with your germy, food-laden hands and fingers, and the fact that food helps bacteria thrive, its a wonder this device doesn’t grow mold. Your cell phone is begging for a daily cleaning! Cleanse that bacteria away with an alcohol-based cleaner meant for digital devices.

4. The Inside of Your Car

Run a Clorox Disinfecting Wipe along your dashboard weekly, which gathers germs thanks to the heater or AC being on. Be sure to wipe down the cup holders as well, they tend to be another hotspot for bacteria to gather.

5. Your Purse

Think about it, your purse gets handled every day and goes everywhere you do. You sit it on the dirty bathroom floor, or place it on the kitchen counter, both places germs love to hang out. You take it all these places with you during the day and then bring them home on that beloved accessory risking the spread of said bacteria. Be sure to spray this or wipe it down daily with a fabric safe sanitizing spray.

Another good tip, always keep Purell handy, it kills 99.9% of germs you possibly come into contact with daily.

Being prepared and taking action to help evade the cold and flu season is something we all try to do in these cold winter months. SunDANCE can help you keep those bacteria at bay!

Starting the New Year Organized

A New Year always brings in new things. Paper, files, magazines, and receipts sometimes just flutter on from on year to the next. It is a good idea to help your sanity and to help get rid of some clutter if you get all of last years things all nice and organized.

Organized

Clean Out The Files

It’s important to take time once a year to purge the old to make room for the new. Ask yourself whether or not documents will be relevant to your work in the coming year. If not set those aside and make an archive file. Some files that you should go through are:

  • Desktop files
  • Client files
  • Financial files
  • Receipts
  • Reference files

I like getting new files for a new year so I can just transfer my old ones to our keep file drawer.

OrganizedThese Smead file folders are awesome because I am able to color code my file drawer.

Take A Look At The Office

Office clutter can take over throughout the year - you get busy, create a few pile here, and a stack over there, and suddenly you are not able to see your desk! Go around the room and find a home for all of those piles and you will be able to see your desk in no time. Having an assigned space for everything makes it easier for you to maintain order throughout the year, and at the end of the day it will just take a few minutes to put everything away.

OrganizedMagazine racks are a great way to keep things in a specific place.

LLR37526This is another one of my favorites as I can keep things I am currently working on at an arms reach.

Make Some Plans

Plan what you would like to accomplish this year and write it done somewhere you see it everyday so you will constantly remind yourself what your goals are. The best part is you can do these things for your home and your work environment!

We hope everyone has a great 2015!
