CovingtonCares 7 “Our jobs are super, super important.” “When it's done right, nothing beats that feeling.” – Monty Lee, Director of Environmental Services In general, Lee feels confident in his team's ability to get the job done efficiently, even without direct supervision. About those floors: Lee himself handles most of the floor work at the Arrington Living Center. Hinton takes care of the hospital’s floors. Their secret for super shiny floors? “Maintenance,” he said. “Most people think it's the initial scrubbing and waxing. But maintaining them, that's the key. The mopping, the buffing, mopping, buffing. We have to keep them maintained. And if you maintain them right, voila. That's what they look like.” Rewaxing Once a Year The team strips and rewaxes the floors once a year. For daily cleaning, they use a chemical called Zing. “It pulls the dirt out of the wax so the wax won’t look as dull as fast.” Environmental Services has one simple goal, Lee said: doing their jobs the right way. “When it's done right, nothing beats that feeling.” Monty Lee, Director of Environmental Services
