Anticipate Changes in Your Office This Year: Hire Commercial Cleaning Services

February 3, 2020

Have you ever heard of such thing as proactive mentality? This is a process wherein you prepare for the unforeseen circumstances before they actually happen. For instance, if you have guests coming over – you will not wait for the actual head count before you prepare snacks. The best thing to do is to prepare multiple ones enough for those you invited as well as for any potential increase of visitors. This same mentality applies to maintaining a clean workplace. You have to be proactive since there are many factors that affect the condition of your office. You have to anticipate changes, and in doing so, hiring commercial cleaning services is a must.

Consider Weather and Foot Traffic

Many businesses see an increase in foot traffic at predictable times of the year.  For example, the warm spring season brings about an army of landscapers. This often leads to outside debris bring tracked indoors.  In addition, the change in weather often energizes employees for more outdoor breaks and lunch activities.  This means more outdoor-to-indoor foot traffic. Aside from that, roads and walkways may be covered in salt.  This can be tracked into your building and wreak havoc on hard floor surfaces.  It can even cause dangerous slipperiness. 

Thus, it’s important to proactively plan for these changes.  You can increase the winter time floor cleaning activities with your commercial cleaner. To avoid delays in the cleaning services, you must schedule professional carpet cleanings well in advance. Also, to maintain office cleanliness – you should increase the commercial cleaning appointments.  For example, add Saturday’s during the spring season.

Potential Construction Projects

Office building construction projects can greatly complicate office cleaning success. If your facility is having remodelling or repairs performed, you can expect all types of debris from drywall dust, wood shavings, paint splatter, to all manner of dirt. This is especially evident after large scale construction work.  Not being able to prepare for these types of project, can leave an office space covered in drywall dust, even in areas where the construction is not active.  The impact of this can be catastrophic for medical office environments, data centres, labs, and other critical environments in your building.

The first thing to do is to notify your cleaning company of the upcoming construction.  Work with them to ensure a solid plan for the construction.  Even the smallest amount of construction can have an impact on customers and patrons. It is necessary to avail of post-construction cleaning that requires several cleaning phases of the same area. This is because dust will continue to settle on surfaces many days after construction is complete. Special attention must be given to high reach areas, HVAC systems, computer rooms and more.

Prepare for the Cold and Flu Season

Having the proper cleaning supplies and cleaning rotation is paramount. There are many types of cleaning agents, but not all are designed to deal with cold and flu germs.  Make sure you have proper disinfecting and sanitizing cleaning agents.  Also, make sure they are used correctly.  Areas like lobbies, bathroom touch points, lunchroom touch points, doorknobs and the like need to be consistently sanitised.
