June 2026 Newsletter

Your Trusted Partner in Commercial Cleaning Supplies & Equipment

Summer is here, and for many facilities that means it’s go-time. With schools letting out and foot traffic shifting outdoors, June is the season for deep-cleaning projects, floor refinishing, and getting ahead of summer’s heat and humidity. This month we’re starting with an important pricing update, then covering summer deep-clean season, restroom care and odor control, outdoor and entry-way prep, and a fresh look at hand hygiene and break room supplies. Let’s dive in.

📈  Pricing Update: Get Ahead of Rising Plastic Costs

You may have noticed prices moving on certain products, and we want to be upfront with you about why. With the recent rise in oil prices, petroleum-based products — including can liners, gloves, and other plastics — have seen cost increases across the entire industry.

⚠  Buy Early & Save

Placing your orders early is one of the best ways to get ahead of these increases. Buying ahead helps you lock in product, avoid potential stock shortages, and save money overall as costs continue to climb.

RMS is doing everything we can to keep costs down for our customers and soften the impact of these increases. We’ll continue to source competitively and pass along savings wherever possible. In the meantime, planning ahead on your plastic-based supplies is a smart way to protect your budget and stay ahead of any supply issues. Reach out to your RMS rep and we’ll help you stock up before the next round of increases.

☀️  Summer Deep-Clean Season Is Here

With schools out and many buildings running at reduced occupancy, summer is the ideal window to tackle the big projects that are tough to fit in during the busy months. Stripping and refinishing floors, deep-scrubbing, and large-scale maintenance all become far more manageable when hallways and classrooms are empty.

Now is the time to plan your summer floor program and project list. RMS has the finishes, strippers, pads, equipment, and supplies you need to get the job done right — and the expertise to help you build an efficient plan.

Floor Stripping & Refinishing — Strip away a year of wear and lay down fresh finish for floors that shine all year.
Summer Projects — Carpet extraction, high dusting, wall washing, and the deep-cleaning tasks that need an empty building.
Equipment & Supplies Ready to Go — Auto scrubbers, burnishers, pads, and chemistry from the brands you trust.

🚻  Restroom Care & Odor Control for the Heat

As temperatures and humidity climb, restrooms become the area where odors and bacteria are most likely to take hold. Heat accelerates everything — which makes a consistent restroom care program more important in summer than at any other time of year.

Why It Matters

Restroom cleanliness is consistently ranked the number-one factor in how visitors judge a facility. In summer heat, staying ahead of odor and moisture protects both your image and the health of everyone in the building.

Touch-Free Dispensers — Soap, towel, and tissue dispensers that reduce cross-contamination and cut down on waste and mess.
Air Care & Odor Control — Automatic dispensers, urinal screens, and deodorizers that keep restrooms smelling fresh around the clock.
Bowl & Surface Cleaners — Powerful daily cleaners and disinfectants that tackle bacteria at the source.

🌳  Outdoor, Grounds & Entry Season

Summer moves activity outdoors, and your building’s exterior and entrances are working harder than ever. Curb appeal, safety, and cleanliness all start at the perimeter — and a little attention here keeps soil and debris from ever making it inside.

Pressure Washing — Blast away winter grime, gum, and buildup from sidewalks, entryways, dumpster pads, and building exteriors.
Trash & Waste Receptacles — Indoor and outdoor containers, liners, and lids to handle increased summer foot traffic and volume.
Outdoor & Entry Matting — Scraper and wiper mats that stop dirt and moisture at the door, protecting your floors and reducing slip risk.

Betco Push: The Power of Probiotics for Everyday Cleaning

At Riley Maintenance Systems, we’re always looking for innovative solutions that make cleaning more effective, sustainable, and efficient. One of the latest breakthroughs we’re proud to feature is Betco Push — a probiotic cleaner and odor eliminator that works on a microscopic level to deliver long-lasting results.

What Makes Push Different

Unlike conventional cleaners that only remove surface soils, Betco Push uses natural, non-pathogenic bacteria that continue working long after you’ve finished cleaning. These probiotics digest organic matter such as grease, body fluids, food spills, and other odor-causing residues — leaving surfaces cleaner and fresher for longer.

Push doesn’t just mask odors; it eliminates them at the source by breaking down the organic material that causes them. The result is a truly clean, odor-free environment — ideal for restrooms, drains, carpets, floors, and more.

Proven Performance in Action

In Josh Enfield’s Betco demonstration video, you can see Push in action — tackling tough organic buildup and delivering noticeable improvements in cleanliness and odor control. Whether it’s used as a daily cleaner, a drain maintainer, or a carpet spotter, Push provides measurable results you can see and smell.

Environmentally Responsible Cleaning

Push is part of Betco’s commitment to green, sustainable cleaning solutions. Its eco-friendly formula reduces chemical load while improving performance, helping facilities maintain healthy, safe environments for staff and visitors alike.

Where to Use Betco Push

  • Restrooms: Eliminate lingering odors in urinals, toilets, and grout lines.
  • Carpets: Remove organic stains and deodorize fibers.
  • Drains: Keep pipes clear and odor-free with regular maintenance.
  • Floors and Tile: Break down grease and soils in kitchens, locker rooms, and more.

Available Locally at RMS

Riley Maintenance Systems is your local source for Betco Push — available for immediate delivery and support throughout the Southern Tier. We also offer product training, FastDraw dispenser setup, and demonstrations so you can see the results firsthand.

Betco GeneSys 20 Demonstration @ RMS

In a recent demonstration at Riley Maintenance Systems (RMS), Josh Enfield performed a demo to showcase the Betco GeneSys 20 automatic scrubber. This compact yet powerful machine is designed to tackle the toughest cleaning tasks with ease. 

The GeneSys 20 boasts a 20-inch scrub path and is equipped with a transaxle drive system, providing smooth operation and maneuverability. Its 13-gallon solution tank and 15-gallon recovery tank allow for extended cleaning sessions, while the HEPA-filtered vacuum ensures a cleaner environment by capturing fine particles. With a sound level of less than 65 dBa, it operates quietly, making it suitable for noise-sensitive areas. 

One of the standout features of the GeneSys 20 is the SoliChem™ Technology. This on-board chemical dispensing system utilizes solid chemical cartridges, eliminating the need for manual mixing and reducing chemical waste. A single solid can produce approximately 350 gallons of cleaning solution, offering both cost savings and environmental benefits. 

The machine also incorporates the Fortify™ Asset Protection Suite, which includes a wet battery protection system, programmable timer lock-out, and Armor™ telemetry for monitoring machine performance. Additionally, the Airoflex® squeegee system enhances vacuum performance by up to 40%, ensuring floors are left dry and safe after cleaning. 

For a closer look at the GeneSys 20 in action, check out the demonstration video from RMS!

Betco Smart Restroom System

After speaking with people that have been having issues with their urinals, mainly that they aren’t being flushed, I wanted to post a little information on here about Betco’s Smart Restroom System.

Here is a video with some media coverage of this system:

By converting your existing urinal into a water free urinal, you can potentially save millions of gallons of water per year, depending on the usage.  Betco has some testimonials at a couple of school districts, which can be seen here:
