subject: Why Consistent Trash Chute Maintenance Is Imperative [print this page] If you're looking for a green-minded company for your sanitary services, look no further than Nasco International. If the chute cleaning is neglected, the tenants of businesses and homes can suffer. There are many unsanitary items we dispose of every day, like used feminine supplies, stinky diapers, and rotted food. And when you dispose of these things using a chute, it's only understandable that gross stuff would build up. This can leave your garbage smelling pungent, not to mention making it a breeding ground for bacteria and germs.
Nasco's specialized chute cleaning procedures take this problem and completely eliminate it in an environment and tenant friendly way. This process totally removes all the build-up that has accumulated in the trash chute over the years, meaning it poses less of a health risk and doesn't smell terrible. And since these chutes already smell awful, Nasco goes the extra lengths to eliminate adding more harsh fumes by revolutionizing their cleaning process. The employees who perform the cleaning know exactly what to do to ensure a chute gets the most efficient cleaning as possible by inspecting the chute beforehand and customizing their services to best fit the owner's building layout.
The process is pretty basic. First, the cleaning equipment is taken up to the top-most floor, where the highest trash chute entrance is. The other trash chute doors are safely closed and sealed in order to ensure the process runs more efficiently. A specialized winch cable is then lowered down all the way to the bottom. Next, a device called a Whirly Bird is attached to the cable. This mechanism sprays extremely hot, highly pressurized water in order to cut through thick grime and build-up.
Insects, waste, and bacteria are blasted away with a non-toxic, EPA approved detergent. These three components are what create the nasty smell that lingers around a garbage chute, making an unsanitary and putrid experience for the tenants of the building. Once this detergent has cleaned and sanitized the walls of the chute, these pests are effectively eliminated, and new growth is hindered.
After the detergent has been applied to the chute, is then lowered spraying clear water that is less pressurized. This washing removes any of the dislodged build-up, basically serving as a rinse cycle. In addition to this water, a deodorizer and sanitizer is sprayed on the walls in order to ensure the chute stays clean and smelling fresh for weeks.
Once the final washing is done, the winch cable is then reeled back up. The other chute doors are unsealed and the used water flows right out of the floor drain in the dumpster room. Also, the dumpster itself gets a nice cleaning.
