Making The Decision To Reopen Post-Pandemic
Should we re-open? What do we need to consider?

A Cleaning Solution Lands In The Collective’s Lap
Unexpected benefits.
Rather serendipitously, Lauren Engel, the collective’s operations manager, received an email from Slate NYC as the non-profit pondered the possibility of reopening post-pandemic. And Slate was just the cleaning service Lauren had been looking for. “Slate stood out,” she said. “I really liked the reassurance that you guys gave us kind of about not only just cleaning but again because of COVID and the pandemic we were really feeling we needed that assurance coming back here that we would have a clean school and a safe school.”

Going Beyond Expectations
Not having to think about cleaning is a game-changer..
Beyond just an impeccably clean space, Lauren also wanted cleaners with experience, an affordable service— and she wanted to work with nice people! “Slate checked all the boxes with that,” she said. Not only does she love the service, she found herself incredibly grateful for the clear communication she received. “You don’t feel you’re talking to a void,” she said. “We have good communication with [our Keepers] so if we need something— to change something, to update something—they always respond immediately and do their best to accommodate us.” For Lauren, the decision is easy, “If you need someone to come clean, you should hire Slate.”

The Problem
Do I Know You?
Spinning up a cleaning team for such a large, intricate space as the New Children’s Museum takes time. When the museum started having issues with their former cleaning services consistently changing who would show up and when, The New Children’s Museum realized they needed a cleaning service that provided more reliability.
The Solution
Going Steady with Slate
When The New Children’s Museum met Slate, they knew it was a match made in heaven. Slate provides the museum with four consistent Keepers, 5 days a week, for top to bottom cleaning after hours. Additionally, the museum loves that Slate’s Keepers are available to stay into the early morning hours to clean after the one time events the space frequently hosts.
The Results
Running Like A Well-Oiled Machine
With four consistent Keepers from Slate, The New Children’s Museum never has to worry about retraining cleaners again. The Keepers stay in constant contact with the daytime facilities employee at the museum and provide impeccable daily cleanings to all the museum's exhibits, offices, event spaces, and beyond.
