"Anyone can provide janitorial products, paper products and cleaning supplies and deliver them for a few dollars plus or minus, there's nothing special about that. We differentiate ourselves by being a service company and problem solver first. We build trust with our clients by understanding their needs, what they value and how we can help them. Often times we can reduce their costs significantly, but none of that is relevant unless we are able to provide the services and products that help them achieve their goals. Whether they want to improve their restroom's image, simplify their inventory needs, buy green and save green, or all of the above, we want to be a trusted partner they can count on." - Mark Sims, CEO

Lara Holmes and Brandon Goosen took the Pillar Properties maintenance team to Topgolf this week. Seattle Kraken ticket raffle, good food, and a few hours away from the buildings.

These are the people who show up every day to keep things running. They don’t get nearly enough credit for it. Getting to be the ones who say thank you for that? That’s the best part of what we do. 🙌

Thank you to the Pillar Properties team for trusting us to be a part of yours.

The water going in tells you what's in the chute. The water coming out at the compactor level tells you how long it's been.

An interior washdown on a trash chute isn't complicated. Hot water, appropriate pressure, full contact with the shaft surfaces, enough dwell time to break down the grease and organic buildup on the walls. What makes it effective is the sequence. We work top-down, section by section. A surface-level rinse from a single floor doesn't do the same job.

This frame is mid-washdown. The water is hitting the interior surfaces, working through the buildup that's been sitting on the shaft walls. What you don't see is what came out the other end.
If your property is in WA, OR, or CO and your chute hasn't had a full interior washdown in the last 12 months, it's time.

That chute hopper door has been opened thousands of times. The seal around the frame. The self-closing tension. The latch that's supposed to click shut every single time.

When a hopper door doesn't close properly, the smell from the chute shaft moves into the floor corridor. Residents notice. They complain.

A chute hopper check takes less than 10 minutes per floor. We've found doors on 6th floors that haven't latched correctly in months because nobody checked.

The trash chute in your building has been opened hundreds of times in the last month. Nobody has looked inside the shaft in longer than that.

A trash chute shaft picks up grease, organic debris, and airborne particles from every floor it passes. Sealed vertical shaft, no ventilation, years of buildup. That's where the smell that never goes away is actually coming from.

Fikes does top-down interior cleanings. Roof access in, full shaft washdown, recovery at the compactor level. If your building's chute hasn't had one in over 12 months, it's overdue.

The underside of a commercial toilet rim is one of the most consistently skipped surfaces in any cleaning program.

The inlet holes where water enters during a flush collect biofilm, mineral deposits, and bacteria over time. A standard bowl brush doesn't reach most of them. That buildup becomes visible, and the restroom starts telling on itself.

An Under The Rim Detail Clean uses specialized tools designed for the rim inlet channel. Proper dwell time on a commercial-grade disinfectant, full contact with each flush hole, and a rinse that actually clears the deposits.

What does 'restroom cleaned' mean in your building's current scope? If it doesn't include the fixture detail, the clean is incomplete.

Nobody looks up.

Your restroom exhaust vent has been cycling air through the room for months. Or trying to — once the fins coat over with dust and bioaerosols, airflow drops and odors stop leaving the room.

A restroom that smells like a problem is a problem, even when the floor is spotless.

This is a Vent Detail Clean. Extended reach tools, proper dwell time on the vent cover, full inspection of the surrounding ceiling area. The surfaces that get skipped when nobody looks up.

When's the last time your building's restroom cleaning scope included anything above the paper towel dispenser?

This year's Spectrum Trade Show with Multifamily NW was one for the books 🤩

There are few things more energizing than being in a room with hundreds of multi-family professionals for a day of learning and connection. We're grateful to everyone who came by our booth last week to see all the different ways we support our Oregon communities, from keeping spaces smelling fresh to being a resource for a property's deep cleaning needs 🧼

Thank you to everyone who made this event successful! Until next time 👋

You hear us talk about our relationships in Washington a lot, but the ones we've built in Oregon and Colorado are just as important to us 🫶

One group we've had the opportunity to grow with is Cushman & Wakefield in Oregon, and last week we got to spend some time with their regional team at the beautiful Portland office learning about their properties and the goals they have for making them even better ✨

Thank you to their team for a great afternoon of connection 🤝 We can't wait to visit and get to know your property teams in the coming weeks!
