Congratulations! On behalf of The University of Georgia Alumni Association, we are delighted to notify you that The Service Fort, LLC. is a member of the 2012 Bulldog 100: Fastest Growing Bulldog Businesses. Hundreds of companies, representing businesses from across the United States, were nominated for this distinction. Companies were ranked by a three-year compounded annual growth rate of revenues and were required to meet the following criteria:

• in business at least five years
• verifiable revenues of at least $100,000 for the 2008 calendar year
• a UGA alumnus owns at least 50 percent of the company or serves as CEO, president, or managing partner
• operate in a manner consistent with the University of Georgia’s “Pillars of the Arch” character statement of Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation

The announcement of the 2012 Bulldog 100 will be celebrated at a special event hosted by the UGA Alumni Association on January 21, 2012 at the Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta. The evening will begin with a reception, followed by dinner and the awards ceremony. Keynote speaker, Deborah Norville ’79, Emmy award winning television journalist, will lead us to the highlight of the evening – the countdown of the Bulldog 100.

Roughly five percent of the world’s fresh water is used to carry away urine. On average each Falcon Waterfree urinal saves 40,000 gallons (151,000 liters) or more of fresh water per year.

Commercial cleaning can be broken down into three main areas that customers will want maintained: office and public space; bathroom and kitchen areas; and floor maintenance. A working knowledge of each area will make a cleaning technician a valuable asset to any client.

Public and Office Space

In these areas, basic vacuuming and dusting is key. All top areas of dust and cobwebs, will be removed (especially in the winter months when cobwebs seem to appear practically overnight). Dust or wipe down counters, computer monitors and desks.  Papers, documents or personal items left by the daytime office workers will not be disturbed. All trash receptacles will be emptied before vacuuming or mopping the floor as appropriate.

Kitchens and Bathrooms

Cob webs and dust from top areas will be wiped and removed. Mirrors, counters and tile will be wiped down with the appropriate cleaners. All soap and paper dispensers (including every toilet stall) will be checked and and refilled as necessary. All trash emptied. Hand bowls, toilets and urinals will be cleaned and sanitized. Floors will be mopped with a sanitizing solution.

Floor Maintenance

A floor buffing machine is a necessary piece of equipment for the commercial cleaner. Not only is it imperative for hard floor maintenance, but by purchasing the right set of attachments, it can quickly convert to clean carpets with a shampoo or bonnet cleaner. All hard floors will be buffed as needed to remove scuff marks several times a week in busy corridors. Carpets are cleaned at least once a year. However, high traffic areas may need quarterly or monthly cleaning depending on the client’s preferences and standards.
