Summers Can Stink. Stay Proactive with CITY Facility Services

The sun is out, the sidewalks are full, and your business is likely seeing more foot traffic than it has in months. Spring is officially here, and with the Midwest’s long-awaited warm-up comes an important reminder—this is the season to double-check your business essentials, especially when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene. Whether you’re running a restaurant, managing a manufacturing plant, or welcoming guests into your facility, CITY Laundering is here to make sure your first impressions meet all visitor expectations.

“When the weather gets nice, people are more active—and that means your business spaces get busier. It also means there are more employees perspiring and more odors across all business areas,” said Mark Ballo, Director of Service at CITY. “You don’t want to run out of essentials or worry about odors and supplies when you’ve got more important things to focus on.”

More People Mean More Demand

As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, businesses naturally experience an uptick in visitors. Increased foot traffic means restrooms are used more often during peak hours. That’s when items like toilet tissue, hand soap, paper towels, air fresheners, and even first aid supplies start to disappear faster than usual.

The last thing your team needs is to scramble for restroom supplies in the middle of a busy afternoon—or worse, hear complaints from customers about cleanliness or low stock. With CITY Laundering, our trained Route Service Representatives keep your supply closets full without overstocking or waste, helping you maintain a fresh, clean space all season long.

Save Time, Stay Focused

Managing restroom and janitorial inventory isn’t just a chore—it’s a time drain, especially when vacations and staff shortages hit. When you partner with CITY, you free up your team to focus on customer experience instead of counting paper towel rolls or refilling soap dispensers. Our proactive approach means we take the responsibility off your plate completely—no more forgotten refills or last-minute store runs.

Protect Health with Proper Supplies

Warmer temperatures and humidity may be great for patio season, but they also speed up the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. If your cleaning supplies aren’t up to the task, this can quickly turn into a health risk for your staff and guests. Maintaining proper restroom and cleaning protocols reduces germ spread, lowers absenteeism, and protects your business’s reputation.

Here’s why CITY’s restroom and sanitation products are essential during the warmer months:

Some of summer’s worst offenders aren’t visible—they’re detectable by the nose. Warmer weather activates odor molecules faster, and our noses are more sensitive in the heat. Here’s how CITY helps you stay ahead:
