Over the last four years Swan has invested a great deal into our plant and equipment. This has resulted in a 7% decline in our electricity usage, 10% decline in our water usage and 17% decline in our gas usage.
First working with IESO we upgraded the lighting throughout the plant. Then we upgraded our hot water tank, water heater and water softeners, allowing us to be more efficient and reduce our energy costs in heating and treating our water. We removed four of our oldest washing machines and installed two new state of the art machines. On our other four washing machines, working with Gulter Industries, we invested heavily in a water recycling process. With this process, we are able to reduce our water usage when washing our mats and mops. We are proud of our team and the work they continue every day to be environmentally responsible.

The first step to ensuring your customers are safe from slips and falls is to place matting in entrances and heavy-traffic areas. However, not just any mat will do the job right. For instance, you don’t want to purchase mats that curl in the corners and cause customers to trip. Our rental mats are specially manufactured with premium high quality materials to provide an outstanding performance at your facility. Here are some of these materials:
Anti-skid nitrile rubber backing customized for hard floor surfaces or carpeted floors
Rubber backing helps prevent curling and cracking, and allows the mat to lay completely flat
Rubber borders facilitate transition and cart traffic
Cut pile yarn allows dirt to penetrate and hide in between fibers until the next service from Swan
Super absorbent 100% nylon cut pile carpet surface resists packing and crushing

Why are mats and mops so important during the winter months?
Fall is coming to an end and the temperature is starting to slowly drop. Winter weather is creeping up on us, and soon businesses will need to start thinking about ways to keep the snow and salt off of their floors. Without proper matting, the risk of customers slipping and falling is much higher. This is obviously something that should be avoided at all costs as the safety of your customers should be the top priority. Plus, having mats and mops available to remove the salt stains off of your floors helps maintain a professional looking image.
Here are some of the many ways in which mats can keep your staff and customers safe during the winter months:
Prevent slips and falls, and reduce the risk of liability
Reduce daily cleaning costs by substantially minimizing tracked-in soil. Research shows that overhead costs associated with cleaning greatly increases during the winter months.
Extend the lifespan of flooring surfaces
Help maintain a great impression with your customers.
With Swan, your soiled mats are picked up at your location for each service cycle, and then exchanged with clean ones. The soiled items are brought back to our plant for professional cleaning. It’s as easy as that.

During the long winter months when it’s wet and slippery outside, it’s crucial for businesses to ensure that they have proper safety precautions in place to prevent customers from slipping and injuring themselves. According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), most general industry incidents involve slips and falls. Sadly, an estimated 20-30% of people who experience a slip or fall will suffer moderate to severe injuries.
Let’s not wait until an accident happens before we take the proper steps to create a safe environment for both customers and employees. Swan has several options to help keep your floors clean and your customers injury-free. We provide rental mats, which reduce the dirt, mud and moisture tracked into the building. We also provide scraper mats which provide a slip-resistant surface, and work wonders for high-risk and wet areas.
Finally, we have treated mops which help keep floors looking shiny and professional.
Prevent potential safety issues and liability- call Swan today!
When a customer walks into a business, they instantly make a first impression based on what they see. For instance, if they look around and see messy floors with salt stains and dirt, they may assume that the business lacks professionalism. The person may wonder, ‘If they show so little respect for their workspace, then will they treat customers in the same manner?’
Cleanliness also impacts the health and safety of those who come into contact with the building. Obviously, a customer will not want to return for a second visit if they feel their health and well-being are at risk.
At Swan, we strive to help businesses create a safe and professional looking workspace where both staff and customers know they do not have to worry about their well-being. We want to increase the likelihood of customers returning for a second visit because they were greatly impressed with the service and the cleanliness of the business.
Give Swan a call and let us help you make a great first impression with your customers. We provide both rental mats and mops, which work wonders at removing dirt, dust, and even stains!
Summer is coming to an end, and it is time to plan for the fall, which can include wet weather, and more dirt entering your place of business. With children returning to school, and vacations over, is your business ready for the additional traffic through your door?
It is important to think about first impressions of your business, and also the safety of both your customers and staff. Swan Dust Control will place mats in the high traffic areas, and entrances, so that dirt, dust, and wet weather are captured by the mat. Every two weeks the dirty mats are removed and replaced with clean mats, so that your business stays clean, and you can focus on what you do best, which is to serve your customers.
In the fall people start to spend more time indoors, and with kids back at school, cold and flu germs are spread more easily. Adding a Purell anti-bacterial dispenser can kill these germs and keep you and those around you healthy.
