Bed Bugs??

After Hours at Excel and Benefect October 5th

We will be hosting Mr. Bill Coy of Sensible Life Products on October 5th starting at 5 p.m. to introduce the amazing products they produce. Join us for drinks and light hors d' oeuvres to learn about their line of Green Products. Benefect Disinfectant has been the fastest growing product in our store this past year in the Water Restoration and Mold Remediation market. I attribute this to the awareness of a "green safe" disinfectant and the increase effectiveness without all the potential exposure.

Benefect is the First and Only Botanical Disinfectant in North America. It is ready to use and Kills over 99.9% of Bacteria, Fungus, TB and HIV. Also what makes this product so special is that it requires NO Rinse or Wipe down saving the contractor $$$$$ on time and labor. To top it all off it is approved for ULV fogging and is EPA approved for Air Ducts.

For more information please contact us at 1-800-909-3590 or email us at Matt@ExcelSupplies.com We will have a drawing for free products the night of the class. Sensible Life Products manufactures other "green" chemicals that will also be discussed so please join us.

Hello to all restores and remediation contractors. I am currently up in Atlanta attending the Planning To Win class that is designed to help better prepare you the contractor approach insurance agents, insurance adjustor's, plumbers, trades and more. Learn how to not only get in the front door but possibly position your company to gain trust or competancy thus potentially leading to referrals. This class is full of great information that I personally feel that if you don't attend at some point that those who do will grab a larger share of the market. Interlink Supply has created this class and brought in some industry leaders to train you there specific sales and marketing techniques that will make you start thinking outside of the box with your approach and business model when it comes to increasing your profits and market.

If you would like to know more please visit www.planningtowin.biz or call on myself or Justin at 1-800-909-3590. We have both attended and have gained priceless information that relates to the water restoration and mold remediation contractor.

Florida Legislation and the New Mold Regulation Starts July 1st, 2010

Are you prepared for the New State of Florida Mold Law effective July 1st, 2010? If you don't know about this law you need to act fast. Last week they finalized the "grandfather" clause to finalize "who" will be accepted or qualified by the State of Florida's Standards. For more information on this please click on this link to learn more.

We here at Excel Cleaning & Restoration Supplies have been working hard on staying on top of what is expected with the new law. That is why we have scheduled and hosted already Certified Mold Remediator (CMR) and Certified Mold Assessor (CMA) classes at our location. The state has been very proactive on researching a "certifying association" that meets their standards. They have looked at the other states that require licensure already and are following suit and then some.

On June 8th we are hosting a CMR and CMA class instructed by BestTrainingSchools.com at our facility. We hosted a class back in April and I must say that they run a first class operation when it comes to education. For more information on this class or attending please go to www.BestTrainingSchool.com

Are you prepared for the Storm Season if it comes?

Are you truly prepared for a active hurricane season at home and for work? Sure enough the season is upon us and according to all the weather organizations out there it is going to be in the top 5% most active seasons ever! Do you have contingency plans for family, pets, your home, bank accounts and more? Most of us put it off until the last minute but this year could be the one. I personally am a little worried with the forecasts that are coming out ontop of the other catastrophes that we have seen as of late; Earthquakes, volcanos, heavy flooding, and more. Dont forget our current tragedy with the oil spill!

What we recommend to our customers for there business is that they start making plans to have increased credit lines, cash, equipment, and access to extra equipment so that you can go out and secure that job. We here at Excel Cleaning & Restoration have over 600 pieces of drying equipment in stock ready to go and thousands more available within 24 hours. We have a firm rental policy for catastrophes here requiring a minimum of 3-days rental and payments up front. We try to spread the equipment around as much as possible but it goes fast.

Most important, make sure you have plans for your family and pets. For more information log onto www.NOAA.gov Stay safe and plan ahead!

Flooding in Tennessee

The crazy flooding in Nashville had many storm chasers going crazy. I have been in contact with many restoration contractors in the area of Nashville and it sounds as if it will take a LONG TIME to clean up and dry out the region. The stories I have heard are horrific at best and we wish them all a quick recovery and safety.

If you are in the region stop by and see Interlink Supply in Nashville and ask for Trey. They have been providing equipment, chemicals and support to all the local and traveling restoration contractors. Excel Supplies has shipped a 53' foot tractor trailer to Interlink Supply of Nashville loaded with 420 blowers and 180 dehumidifiers to help out.


Good Luck to all living in and working in Nashville!

Thanks to all of those who joined us for some hands-on training. We had a great response to those who participated in upholstery, leather, spotting, and odor control this week. We are looking at scheduling a 2-day hands-on stone cleaning and restoration class utilizing the Spinergy Pads and Diamond Resin Pads. Stay tuned for more details.
