What are Signs of a Fraud Cleaning Company and How to Avoid Them?

commercial cleaning services in Atlanta

Today deceiving has become common in all walks of life as it is thought to be the easiest way to earn money. But as quickly the amount comes in fraud, the faster the money goes into the drain. Even the cleaning profession is used to do fraud, and the honest commercial cleaning services in Atlanta get trapped in the trickery used by the frauds.

Signs Commercial Cleaning Services in Atlanta Are Doing Fraud?

An important question that clients often ask is how to determine that a commercial cleaning business is doing fraud. There are some signs that clients have to look into. You will come across a few of these signs after hiring the cleaners, but others will be there during the initial hiring process.

They Disappear After Receiving Fee

The basic fraud that everyone does is taking the complete payment in advance and afterwards not attending your calls or calling you back. When you visit their physical office, you will find that it has been abandoned.

Companies Delay in Providing services

Some companies have genuine reasons for delaying providing the services like they have a shortage of staff and cleaning supplies because everyone is hiring cleaning services. But the companies doing fraud will always give you the same explanation for the delay in services.

Not Giving the Decided Cleaning Services

If you have decided to have your commercial space cleaned using robots and alcohol-based products, the cleaners have not fulfilled the promise. Sometimes it might happen because of a misunderstanding, but if it becomes consistent, this could indicate that the company is fraudulent.

Extra Cost Demanded

It has been mentioned in the contract that no extra amount will be charged for services. Even in the case of an accident as the company is insured. If a cleaning business is demanding more money even after receiving the full payment, immediately leave such companies’ services.

Inconsistency in Quality of Service

If your commercial space looks dirty even though the cleaners have just finished and this has happened quite more often, then it means that either the staff is not trained or old products, tools, and techniques have been used.

Tips by Commercial Cleaning Companies in Atlanta to Avoid Fraud

Genuine commercial cleaners like Jan Pro Atlanta will never become a part of something that will affect their business. In addition to this, they will help their clients on points to keep away from the fraud companies.

Audit of Company Background

The main thing to be checked is whether an employee has a past criminal history. This inspection has to be done for the freelancer cleaners hired as well.

Cleaning Businesses are Licensed and Insured

To know whether the company is insured or not is vital because the damages done to the cleaning machinery will be covered by the insurance company and not the clients who hired the services. Knowledge of license is important because it signifies that the cleaning business is legit.

Knowledge of Services you Require

All commercial cleaners provide mainly three types of cleaning services: daily, monthly, and deep cleaning done once or twice a year. Confirm with the commercial cleaners if they will provide all three services.

Confirm the Products Used

Today, scientists have recommended using alcohol-based products because they have been known to be effective against Coronavirus and its variants. Confirm if the company is using the recommended products.

Reading Reviews and Comments

Reviews and comments are important to consider as they tell a lot about the cleaning company, services they provide, products, tools, and techniques they use. Businesses hiring commercial cleaners should also contact the previous clients to confirm if the comments and reviews are genuine.

How Much Experience the Company Has?

The clients have to consider the experience in two terms; one is the overall years of the company in the cleaning trade, and the second is the experience of an individual employee of the commercial cleaning services in Atlanta.

Businesses can avoid contacting fraud companies only after considering these signs and tips.

Below are three questions that will further help understand the concept of commercial cleaners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a cleaner do in 2 hours?

The completion of the number of tasks in two hours depends on the commercial space area, the number of cleaners hired, and what things to clean.

What should I look for when hiring a commercial cleaning business?

The company’s experience and its employees, what latest techniques, tools, and products are used, the price for the services, and if they will follow safety precautions.

How much do you pay for commercial cleaning?

The cost determination depends on the area of the commercial area, the number of cleaning employees required, tools, cleaning products, and techniques used, and the time the cleaners will arrive.

13 Tips to Lose the Stubborn Belly Fat Quickly

Belly fat is quite harmful to your health. It can cause serious diseases like diabetes and heart conditions extra. Being overweight can affect your skin as well. Therefore, it is very important to lose that excess abdominal fat if you want to stay healthy. I have been using my Cox gigablast package to watch healthy recipes on “Food Network.” These recipes and some healthy habits have made me lose belly fast within a month.

So, here are a few tips that you help you fit in your old clothes easily:

Increase Your Intake of Soluble Fiber

Soluble fiber is a great food source to lose weight. It absorbs water and makes you feel full for a long time. In this way, you end up eating less. Therefore, eat plenty of flax seeds, brussels sprouts, avocados, blackberries, and shirataki noodles daily to get rid of that belly fat within no time.

Don’t Consume Too Much Alcohol

Drinking too much alcohol can make you gain weight easily. It can also increase the risk of heart diseases and diabetes. Therefore, keep your alcohol consumption to a minimum if you don’t want excess fat storage around the waist.

Keep Stress Levels Low

High levels of stress can cause your body to produces an excess amount of cortisol. Cortisol is commonly known as the stress hormone. It can increase your appetite and make you gain weight quickly. To avoid that from happening, engage in activities like yoga, meditation, painting, and reading extra.

Stop Eating Sugary Foods

Sugar is not good for your health. This is because it contains fructose that can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and liver diseases extra. Therefore, keep sugar consumption levels to a minimum to avoid obesity. Use even healthier sugars like honey once in a while to avoid belly fat.

Do Cardio

Doing cardio along with a healthy food intake can do wonders for your body. It can help you burn calories and keep dangerous diseases at bay. Make sure to do it routinely if you want to gain maximum benefits. However, don’t it more than 5 days a week as excessive exercise can also damage your body.

Don’t Consume Refined Carbs

Excessive carbs can also make you gain weight easily. Therefore, people who are at risk of developing PCOS, diabetes, and heart disease should lower their carb intake to stay in shape. This doesn’t mean that should stop eating carbs altogether. You can still eat unprocessed carbs like whole grains as they are healthier than refined ones.

 Avoid Beverages

Beverages like soda and punch are filled with fructose that can make you gain belly fat quickly. Consuming beverages can also increase the risk of liver and heart diseases. So, you should avoid beverages like sweet tea and soda at all costs if you want to stay healthy.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Not getting a good night’s sleep can help you gain weight easily. So, always get more than 7 hours of sleep every night to stay in shape. Not doing so can also make you develop “sleep apnea” which can make breathing stops intermittently during sleep. So, buy a good pillow and keep your environment comfortable to get quality sleep at night.

Eat Fatty Fish

Fatty fish is filled with good proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. These can keep dangerous heart diseases at bay. Omega 3 fatty acids can also make you lose belly and liver fat fast. So, eat salmon, sardines, anchovies, or mackerel two or three times a week to gain maximum benefits.

Don’t Drink Fruit Juices

Fruit juices are not healthy ways of getting vitamins and minerals. This is because they are filled with high amounts of sugar that can make you gain weight. It is better to drink water, iced tea, or lemon water instead of fruit juices to reduce excess fat.

Try Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is a great method of losing belly fat. Instead of 24 hours of fasting once or twice a week, you can fast for 16 hours four times a week to lose weight. However, if you experience nausea or vomiting during the fast, you should stop fasting immediately and consult a doctor.

Drink Green Tea Everyday

Green tea is a great beverage to lose belly weight fast. Caffeine can help reduce stress by reducing the production of cortisol. Green tea also contains epigallocatechin which can boost metabolism and help you lose belly fat. To reap maximum benefits, it is advisable to combine green tea with exercise.

Lift Weights

Finally, lifting weights can help you in gaining muscle mass. Doing strength training and aerobic exercise at the same time can help in decreasing visceral fat fast. I even recommended it to my friend who was suffering from this. She followed the regime – went as far as upgrading her internet plan to Cox Gigablast Silver to stream and follow fitness routine videos on YouTube!

These changes in my life have helped me save gym fees and lose belly fat while staying at home. Totally worth all the effort!

Women Entrepreneurs, The Future of business

Whenever you come across the word woman entrepreneur, what comes to your mind? As for me, an image of myself comes to my mind where I see myself as a busy entrepreneur, with a messy hair bun, papers in one hand, a telephone in one hand trying to hear the rep’s message related to my Cox Internet plans. But obviously, it is not a simple thing.

Although a lot has changed over the past decade, there still are females who are still struggling to make their mark in the male-dominated industry. And if we look back, women of this decade have seriously come a long way to achieve every right they have today. Many factors contribute to the success (and failure!) of women entrepreneurs, but they are moving in the right direction.

Women Entrepreneurs: Confidence is their Second Name

The 2018’s Bank of America Women Business Owner Spotlight (Published by Bank of America) issued research regarding the revenue growth of women entrepreneurs. The statistics show improvement, but this needs to move up a bit, as the ratio of women making money in the past year is 20% less than the males making money statistics. Women have still a long way to go. Some of the prominent figures were:

  • 21% of women entrepreneurs have planned to hire more employees in the year 2019.
  • 49%of the entrepreneurs want to contribute to their local economy in a better way
  • 48% of them want to contribute to the bigger picture, i.e., their national economy.
  • 56% (that makes more than half of them!) want to expand their businesses within the next 5 years.
  • 58% of them believe their revenues are going to increase by the end of this year.

Women Entrepreneur’s Success Rate: The Real Picture

While women entrepreneurs are adding billions of dollars to the world economy right now, and are the inspirational forces for so many good changes that are happening in the world economic scenario, there is still a lot that needs to be done. It is also a sad reality that they have to face double the problems, as compared to male entrepreneurs. Inequality is one of the biggest obstacles to the progress of women business owners all around the world. When it comes to safe investments and secure credit accounts, they are far behind their male counterparts.

This often ends in a situation that puts their creditworthiness in question or makes them quit everything altogether. ‘Go Big or Go home’, phrases like that speak volumes about how failure has been considered synonymous with being a woman.

Finding a Male Stakeholder – Not a Myth

It might come as a surprise to many of you (and not a good one!) that even in 2019, women are required (sometimes, blatantly asked!) if they have any male member as a partner in their business. It is almost as if having a male name adds to the security of a transaction, or gives some extra credibility to a new venture. But again, that time is not even a century old when it was downright difficult for a woman to even open a bank account of her own!

So most of the time now, it is quite a good sight to see women who are self-dependent enough to take care of their finances, and flaunt their credit cards for a change! Women have come a long way. And women entrepreneurs are a step ahead.

Multi-Tasking is the Only Way!

Sadly, this part is true, as far as women entrepreneurs are concerned. When we talk about the barriers faced by women entrepreneurs, we forget that we are not just talking about happy, single women. Often statistical data collectors ignore the statics like the number of family members who need constant emotional and moral support from their mommies. Those mommies, unfortunately, happen to be entrepreneurs too. But they are mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters too.

You cannot expect equal output and dedication from two different people. In our case, most males are expected to earn, and just tend to do that. Whereas, female entrepreneurs (stay an entrepreneur or not, not their headache!) are expected to do the unpaid chores too, simply because they are ‘supposed to as they are females, the stay-at-home gender.

The Future of Female Entrepreneurs

As for now, female entrepreneurs do not enjoy an equal share in the business revenue pie, but the numbers are growing with each passing day. And it is very promising. Now when I see myself in the future as an entrepreneur, the messy hair bun is still there, I am still making a call this time from my Cox home phone. But it is to check my bank balance, not just for a laundry inquiry!
