Inventory ManagementLet our Nichols staff manage your inventory for you.

Green and Clean ProgramGreen Cleaning is more than a new product or piece of equipment. Nichols’ Green and Clean Program is a complete approach to creating healthier, more productive facilities without harming the environment. Although Green Cleaning is defi ned as: “cleaning to protect health without harming the environment”, it is much more than simply using environmentally preferable cleaning chemicals. At Nichols we believe that Green Cleaning should be a complete program that includes an understanding of the needs of the building occupants, the building structure, furnishings & equipment, cleaning personnel, the organization’s mission, and the local environment. Whether exploring green operational strategies or needing assistance with LEED or green building

standards, Nichols should be your #1 resource.

Training and SupportThe success of any organization is dependent on quality people. Our educational programs and staff will help you not only implement cleaning programs but also provide training and on-going support to ensure a trained and qualifi ed staff and continued professional growth and success. Training workshops in core competencies like hard fl oor care, carpet care, restroom cleaning and custodial safety as well other custodial and specialty

management workshops are available.

Operational Effi cienciesProcedure steps, work area assignments and other organizational and training tools are available through the Nichols ‘Client Resource Center’ at www.enichols.com. There you will fi nd a variety of forms and procedures that can be customized to fi t your building operations, as well as training videos and podcasts on basic custodial tasks and much more. You First service is our objective. Our helpful and friendly drivers will deliver to multiple
