Facility Maintenance: Step Stools, Ladders, and Everything Else a Business Needs to do Business

Facility maintenance is a term that covers everything from office supplies to janitorial services for a businesses. Many companies order office supplies from one company, housekeeping supplies from another, tools from yet another company, and janitorial supplies from still another company. That's four different shipping invoices to decipher. At ShopCleaningSupplies.com, we have it all in one place and on one shipping invoice.

Hotels, foodservice/restaurants and medical/healthcare facilities will be pleased with our complete line of housekeeping and janitorial supplies. Our ladders and step stools, service carts, safety signs and other safety equipment are available at discount prices. Insure that your employees can work safely and efficiently without worrying about your clientele slipping on a wet floor or wandering into a work zone. We sell safety products and brands that you already trust and you'll feel comfortable knowing that you are getting good value for your money.

At ShopCleaningSupplies.com, you do not need to buy more batteries, flashlights, locks, or light bulbs than you need to receive a discount. We sell at wholesale prices, allow you to buy the exact quantities you need, and help you receive great value on your business supply purchases.

Churches,schools, educational facilities,offices and small businesses enjoy stretching their budget dollars when they purchase our first-aid products, office supplies and our storage units. Owners and managers of these businesses do not have the time to track down every sale for the business supplies they need, while simultaneously taking care of students, parishioners, or business needs.

Larger industries that contend with multi-department facility maintenance concerns can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that all their needs can also be met with one order. Purchasing managers of these businesses can order everything from safety equipment to industrial strength cleaners to bathroom products - hand dryers, paper towels and much more. Even baby changing tables and ADA signs are available for your restrooms. Additionally, we carry brand-name cleaning products in wholesale sizes to help you save on your cleaning supplies. Whether you need Rubbermaid carts or laundry carts, tools or toolboxes, ShopCleaningSupplies.com has it all.

For special events or parties, there is a chance that you'll be renting folding tables and folding chairs. Then, someone will have to go to a store to buy table covers. If you are going to feed the group, you'll also need paper napkins, plates, warming trays, service carts and more. When you buy food service products from us, you will save time, frustration and money. Instead of paying a rental fee and getting used, beat-up items for your event or company party, you can own quality products and feel more confident about your events. When the event is over, you can store it all away for the next time. With the discount prices at ShopCleaningSupplies.com, your out-of-pocket expense will be comparable to renting, with the added benefit of it being a one-time expense rather than a recurring expense.

Our business is to make your business work better. When you call our customer service lines, a real person answers the phone and is prepared to help you right away. Our customer service representatives will help you place your order quickly and efficiently.

Sigh ...

 

There is too much happening. We have Clinton wanting to fund the troops and al-Qaeda playing to Bush stupidity and Right-wing American egos.

 

Al-Qaeda number two, Ayman al-Zawahri, came front and center, to comment on recently vetoed troop/withdrawal funding bill, saying: "This bill reflects American failure and frustration ... this bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap."

 

OK, ego twist. Iraq id an "historic trap" which has caught everyone. Al-Qaeda is emasculated. Bin Laden has not appeared and might well be dead. Certainly Bin Laden has lost control of the situation.

 

Still the Bush marching orders have been issued, and we can expect he will, as he has dutifully done in the past, attempt to follow them. In this case, al-Zawahri has specified that we "only get out after losing 200,000 to 300,000 killed."

 

Ok, Bush will do all he can to achieve that goal for al-Qaeda; but we lost less than 60,000 in Vietnam, and after four years of this nonsense we are down less than 3,500. At this pace, we will need to remain in Iraq for another two hundred twenty-five years.

 

Yea, Bush has been building the permanent bases, but are we really going to play this game for as long as we have been a nation? Time for a bit of reality on the al-Qaeda side. They are incompetent.

 

It is self apparent that al-Qaeda lacks anything approaching the competence of the Vietnamese. These al-Qaeda guys have delusions of grandeur, they have been beaten on their own turf.

 

Al-Qaeda can not tell the difference between Moslems and Americans; they have killed six hundred thousand of their own.

 

They can not even take credit for the American wounded; we know those came about because Rummy did not have the brains necessary to provide proper armor. Rummy and Bush get the full credit for American dead.

 

Ayman al-Zawahri is a joke. All his a-Qaeda forces can do is kill unarmed civilian women and children doing their shopping. Even the famed 9/11 was a sneak attack on unarmed civilians; and they couldn’t carry that out without the loss of ALL their forces.

 

As a military force, al-Qaeda are little better than kindergarten girls playing with matches. Except that the children would probably have had the sense to leave the fire scene.

 

What is disgusting about this whole thing? Our incompetent president doe not have the brains to accept victory and allow the Islamic jerks to argue their sectarian war over whether there have been eleven or twelve prophesied leaders since Mohammad.

 

Any "decider" with a brain worthy of being educated at both Harvard and Yale would decide to get out of the way.

 

Any "commander" worthy of the rank would know to leave the petty bickering to those jerks; a "commander" would simply lock them in to fight it out.

 

What is the worst that could happen? Al-Qaeda takes control of Iraq? How would they govern? What would they govern?

 

All they know how to do is kill unarmed women and children. One would think the husbands and fathers would get really pissed and wipe out al-Qaeda.

 

Where is the reality check? We have some petty thugs, without a homeland, being treated as if they are a valid nation with the right to declare war on United Nations member states.

 

This Homeland Security clown, Michael Chertoff, has granted them nation status. Get that, a clerk has granted the al-Qaeda mafia nation status. Since when does any government grant criminals, who are little more than mass murderers, statehood status?

 

OK. We are talking Bush Administration and Right-wing thinking; so what else could we expect? Certainly not intelligence.

_____________________________________________________

While most of the world is focused on Iraq, many have forgotten about an ongoing battle in Afghanistan involving a few thousand Canadian troops and other allies. Canadians grieve the loss of at least 3-4 soldiers a month, though very little is said about it anywhere, other than the Canadian news channels.

 

The reason I mention it is because a number of men from Nova Scotia have been killed in these battles. They heroically have been battling the Taliban and searching for Bin Laden for over 2 years now. Most of the world doesn't know they are even there because of the focus on the larger and more political war, at least that is my guess.

 

In February 2 people very dear to me head into the fight in Afghaistan. Until now most of the war has seemed fairly distant to me, but last month I lost a cousin, and now I send off his replacements with people even closer to me. The fight has moved into my own back yard, so to speak.

 

I often have wondered about the saying I hear about fighting a war abroad so it won't be fought "on our soil". It seems to me, and perhaps I am wrong, but to anyone with a loved one in such a dire place, the war is right here before us. It's in every thought, prayer, news story, newspaper, fear, and dream. Just because the milage is far away, does not make the fighting any farther away than one's heart.

 

I will pray for my loved ones and hope I see them again, safe and sound, and without the long term agony that war costs to physical and mental health.

Mostly I pray for peace, and for every parent or relative that bares the weight of fear while their dear one is away.
