URBANA Demolition of the old Hanford Inn & Suites in north Urbana is expected to begin this spring, said Kelly Dillard, whose company will take it down.

The project will be a bit of deja vu for Dillard, who last winter and spring tore down another abandoned hotel a one-time Holiday Inn in north Champaign that later became the Gateway Studios apartments.

In both cases, Dillard plans to market the properties for redevelopment. Both are located along the Interstate 74 corridor, with the Hanford just north of the Cunningham Avenue interchange and the Gateway on the south side of the Neil Street interchange.

At the Hanford site, Dillard's company, Dig It of Champaign, has already cut down weeds and trees. He plans to start demolition of the 140-room hotel in March or April.

"It's more costly to demolish things in wintertime," he explained. "It's harder on men and machines. Machines break down more, it takes longer for them to warm up, and metal is weaker in cold weather. It's generally 25 percent more expensive to do anything in winter than in the summer."

Plus, the Hanford will need asbestos abatement. Asbestos was used to strengthen paint sprayed on room ceilings, he said, and the paint will have to be scraped off and put into special dumpsters.

Total cost of demolition is expected to be about $400,000, with the city of Urbana slated to reimburse Dillard for $300,000 of that once the building is demolished and the lot is clean.

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) November 30, 2014

Star Clean Services, one of the premiere office cleaning businesses in the Greater Toronto Area, is proud to announce that the company now uses only ecologically friendly cleaning products. These cleaning products leave behind no eco-footprint and can replace all chemicals used in the cleaning process.

The use of these eco-friendly products allows the professionals at Star Clean Services to create a clean workspace that is also completely clear of any hazardous chemicals. This creates a healthier work environment for employees and a safer home environment for residences. Chemicals used in cleaning sprays may be absorbed by a persons lungs and, in heavy doses, may lead to the development of breathing problems. This is just one way in which using chemical cleaners can create health issues or damage the environment. Many green products come in recyclable bottles, too, which further helps the environment.

These cleaners can be used for a wide variety of different tasks. Eco-friendly cleaners can be produced that mimic the effects of traditional window cleaners, restroom cleaners, and more. Upholstery, carpet, and other types of flooring can also be cleaned with safe cleaners. Star Clean Services uses these eco-friendly cleaners in warehouses, office buildings, homes, and even construction areas in order to guarantee that all surfaces are clean, yet also chemical-free.

The manufacturing of these chemicals often involves the creation of toxic waste that leaks into the groundwater or soil near the manufacturing location. By promoting the use of only ecologically friendly cleaners, Star Clean Services hopes to send a message to those that create chemical cleaners: theres a better way that does not involve damaging the environment. The company also hopes that businesses in the Toronto area support this message and hire one of the only cleaning companies that uses nothing but eco-friendly products.

The cost of environmentally friendly cleaners is often on par or actually much less than the cost of harsh chemical cleaners. Many of these eco-friendly products can even be created using items available in a regular grocery store. This means that Star Clean Services is able to offer cleaning services that are budget-friendly. Because it takes no more time to use a green cleaning supply than it does to use a traditional one, theres no additional time involved.

Star Cleaning Services offers businesses that are interested in these eco-friendly services a free estimate. Those interested may call or submit a request online.

The business focuses on providing the best quality services that meet and exceed clients expectations while staying within budget. Cleaning staff is available 24/7.
