Inspect Daily

Clean the Fixtures
Dust settles on covers. Wipe them down. Use a soft cloth. Increase light output. Improve store appearance.
Maintain Your Flooring

Repair Tiles

Deep Clean Regularly
Hire a professional. Scrub the grout. Steam the carpets. Remove stains. Protect your investment. Clean floors last longer.
Fix Drywall and Walls
Walls take hits. Carts bump them. Customers lean on them. Scuffs look bad. Holes look worse.
Patch Holes
Clean the edges. Apply a mesh patch. Spread joint compound. Let it dry. Sand it smooth. Then apply more compound. Sand again.
Paint the Surface
