Sparkle Janitorial still 'sparkling'

Over a year & going strong

Posted

Robert Gilling likes to make people happy after he sees their faces gaze on his cleaning results.
"I leave people happy and I can sleep at night," said the 56-year-old Gilling. He and his wife Sylvia have been toiling days, evenings and weekends, but finally after a some business-invigorating contracts they were able to hire a few part time employees to lighten the burden.
He states he can sleep now because his previous occupation as a loss prevention manager kept him worried night and day and theft, being called into work on his off days and a myriad of other issues.
Now he is his own employee with a flexible schedule, something most workers don't have.
"I chose this line of work because it is not something that I need to worry about becoming obsolete in a few years," Gilling said.
He refers to other industries and occupations that are subjected to the stress of technology replacing what humans currently do.
"I think I can safely say I will not be replaced by a robot, at least for the foreseeable future, so I expect to stay in this line of work until I retire," Gilling said.
Gilling is a real go-getter and wasn't about to quit so easy, even though it was a rough start as he relied one individual jobs, one after another, to keep the business going.
"The hardest aspect of running the business now is learning to juggle staffing depending on the workload," Gilling states.
Those who have met Robert know they are dealing with a man of integrity. He is licensed, bonded and insured and willing to tackle your dirty floors, bathrooms or what have you in the evenings and weekends as well as regular business hours.
Gilling states, "A clean home or work environment is conducive to more production as well as employee and family morale."
Gilling said he welcomes more office cleaning contracts, but is always willing to do single day jobs such as folks who want to tidy up before or after they entertain for a holiday or special occasion.
"We clean houses, storage spaces, offices or whatever is needed. It would be great if a real estate firm put us on their "go-to" list when houses are put on the market and need a last minute thorough cleaning," he said.
Whatever your business size or home needs, Robert is ready to put some "Sparkle" in your life.
