Small Business Weekly Podcast — Episode 515 (15:33)
Running a small business in Michigan means juggling a lot – customers, employees, schedules, budgets. One thing that often gets overlooked? The quality of your workplace environment. Cleanliness isn’t just about appearance; it directly impacts efficiency, professionalism, safety, and even employee morale.
In a recent episode of the Small Business Weekly Podcast, host Michael Rogers sat down with Ronald Dwyer, president of RCS Janitorial and proud VIP member of the Small Business Association of Michigan. Founded in 2016, RCS Janitorial has grown into a trusted provider of commercial janitorial services, carpet cleaning, and facility maintenance across the state.
Certified Expertise Small Businesses Can Trust
One of the standout advantages of working with a team like RCS Janitorial is their IICRC certification for carpet cleaning. This ensures:
- Carpet care that meets or exceeds warranty requirements
- Environmentally conscious cleaning solutions
- Modern methods designed for long‑term results
For small businesses, that means peace of mind – and carpets that last longer.
How to Make Cleaning Easier (and More Effective)
Ronald Dwyer shared practical, straightforward tips that every small business owner can implement immediately. Whether you work with a janitorial service or handle cleaning in‑house, these best practices help ensure the job gets done thoroughly:
- Keep floors clear of clutter. If the team can’t reach the space, they can’t clean it.
- Tidy kitchen areas before cleaning day. Want a sparkling sink? Don’t leave dishes piled up.
- Organize your desk. Stack papers neatly so surfaces can be wiped down properly.
- Create a simple end‑of‑day routine. A 3‑minute clean‑up habit makes a huge difference.
These small adjustments help janitorial teams deliver their best work – and help your business shine.
Why Cleanliness Matters for Michigan Businesses
From Detroit to the U.P., small businesses are the backbone of Michigan’s economy. A clean workplace signals professionalism to customers and creates a healthier, more focused environment for your team. Whether you run a retail space, office, workshop, or service center, maintaining a well‑cared‑for facility is a smart investment.
