An effective, quality janitorial program is not just about appearance but, more importantly, includes creating a safe environment that protects assets, employees, and enhances profitability. Although cleaning has traditionally been viewed as a cost, cleaning is connected to an organization's bottom line. Even relatively modest investments in cleaning produce substantial financial returns. Investments in quality cleaning programs and practices lead to reduced operating costs through occupant wellness and productivity, asset preservation, as well as sustainability. Social returns are also increased as cleaning improves the company's image and customer satisfaction.
The three top areas germs, viruses and bacteria can be found are:

• floors
• horizontal surfaces
• touch points

Consequently, CCS is committed to and focused on keeping these areas clean: handrails, doorknobs, key card scan pads, light switches, countertops, tabletops, water faucets and handles, elevator buttons, sinks, toilets and control handles, restroom stall handles, toilet paper and other paper dispensers, door handles, and push plates, water cooler, and drinking fountain.
