The way the industry world is going now a days without knowing if the job you have that you may feel is secure, may not be there till it is time for you to retire, or may not be there for you next week. There are no promises with industrial jobs or any job in these times. If your job is gone tomorrow do you know what you will do ahead of time? Don’t you think you should prepare something for yourself to fall back on? If your first answer was no, and yes to the second question you picked the right book. This is an easy to understand book, it is all in plain everyday talk, written by a plain everyday talking man. It is a good feeling that you will have something to fall back on if you are laid off or your place of employment shuts down, or if you happen to get fired. I am going to show you an easy to learn trade or more or less 3 trades in one. It is a good idea to work part time in some part of this business first to learn more about the work but many people that are confident in themselves just jump right into it. Working for yourself and building up a business on your own is also a good feeling of pride too, and something to be proud about. This book will help you with that confidence. It will be good for you to know that you have the knowledge of a good much needed all over trade, this work is needed in residential homes, also in small and large businesses. With this type of work you can keep your present job and do this on a part time basis. Like I previously said you can work with a Janitorial Service at first cause after reading this book it will give you enough know how to impress your Janitorial Service boss. Later you can make up a name for your business get cards made up. You can choose what you want to do all the services or maybe just concentrate on one or two Janitorial, Floor Maintenance, Carpet Cleaning, Office Cleaning, Home Cleaning, and Window Cleaning. You will like the feeling of later working for yourself in your own business. This is a business you can start out small and slowly build it up and later get people to work for you, or maybe if you want just one person to work with you so the whole work load is not on you. Let me tell you right up front this business is work good honest work. It is not a get rich quick game. Then again you will not really be killing yourself either. You take good care of your customers and they will take care of you. Do a great job for your customers on their floors, or whatever work you are doing for them, and you will have repeat business with them weekly, bi weekly, or monthly whatever the deal is you make between you and the customer. Lot of work I done was just verbal contact and it worked out OK, it is better though to have something in writing especially with the larger businesses. We will first start out learning about many phases of floor care such as stripping and refinishing some people call it waxing, but what we now use on tile is called floor finish. You will be told about general weekly or bi weekly maintenance of floors.

About the Author
My name is Richard S. Takasch, I am a partner of Bud’s Maintenance Service Company, L.L.C. Janitorial Supplies and Janitorial Paper Products. I started in Janitorial in 1972. I worked part time for two Janitorial Services. One of the services I worked in 4 ½ hours an evening I done office cleaning and Spray Buffed floors I done General Office cleaning for two small companies. In the year 1973 I got a job in a chemical factory. I purchased 17 inch in diameter floor machine for $300.00. In the early 70’s many of the floor waxers used paste wax. I have done a few taverns and luncheonettes in the start of my business. In 1975 I was laid off. I done floor maintenance and store front window cleaning. After a 2 year lay off I got back to my factory job. It did not last long in 1978 it was over. I added carpet cleaning to my part time business as I also worked for other established Janitorial businesses.. I worked full time in other factory jobs thinking that I may find a secure one. In the mean time I also worked for other janitorial services on a part time basis. I keep on working on my own service till I built it up till I felt it would be secure enough alone without the need of another job. I then added Carpet Cleaning to my offered services. In the late 80’s and early 90’s I was a member of CMI they printed some of my ideas in the monthly magazine. In the early 90’s I belonged to the local Chamber of Commerce. My only regret is I should have started in my own business and got it off the ground sooner. I have 30 years in the Janitorial trade.
