Spring cleaning can be done in many ways depending on the environment and the end goal. Within commercial environments, spring cleaning needs to be thorough to ensure full sanitation is successful. Here are a few spring-cleaning tips you can carry out a successful start to the year.

Importance of Spring Cleaning

Commercial spring cleaning is crucial for eliminating the germs that would have accumulated over the cold and flu season. A deep and thorough spring clean will help create a clean, healthy, and productive workspace.

A study by Dr.Gerba showed that the average desk carries 400 times more germs that the average toilet seat. Facts such as these not only show how important daily cleaning is but also how crucial deep cleaning is to improving employee health.

 

Declutter

Decluttering is key to a good spring clean, refreshing your files, cleaning out drawers and even removing unnecessary equipment. Decluttering has many benefits, from general stress relief, company security and even hygiene level benefits.

Often, files and equipment can gather in certain areas of a workplace and be forgotten about. These cluttered areas can become bacteria hotspots, bacteria and dust will begin to collect and be hidden away from the naked eye.

By sorting through these piles, our employees are then able to effectively remove all bacteria from the area, creating a cleaner, safer and visually appealing environment.

Combing through file cabinets and drawers to dispose of unnecessary or relocate important papers will help you manage important documentation, creating company security by streamlining operations and reducing the risk of misplaced or lost information.

Whilst our employees will not remove any equipment or items in the workplace, general tidy up and removal of waste will be removed by our teams.

 

Flooring

The winter months are often particularly harsh to property flooring, with individuals can be seen to wear heavy-duty winter shoes, this causes flooring to be subject to harsh wear and tear. With mud, grit and moisture being regularly tracked in by visitors, carpets can be discoloured, and hard flooring can be scratched.

With proper equipment and machinery, seasonal periodic cleaning can restore the damage caused by environmental damage. Our teams use premium equipment and techniques to lift the debris within the material.

It is recommended that flooring is cleaned daily, however periodic deep clean is also recommended to maximise longevity.

 

Sanitisation

After decluttering and rearranging has taken place, it is important to conduct a full sanitisation throughout the whole property. Sanitisation can be performed whilst rearranging and can also sometimes ne easier and more efficient for time allocation.

Within commercial properties, there are often high-touch areas such as doorknobs, elevator buttons, light switches and communal appliances which need to be disinfected thoroughly. As well as disinfection, it is also important to deep clean these areas for a full effective commercial spring clean. For example, kitchen appliances are disinfected within daily commercial cleaning, however, some appliances can be deep cleaned when dismantling, such as ovens and kettles.

As part of our sanitation, we ensure all areas are disinfected and with eco-friendly products. Eco-friendly commercial cleaning will not only protect the environment but also provide high standard results.

 

Windows

Clean windows are not only just for visual appeal, but they are also known to boost employee morale. Over the winter months, harsh weather conditions can environmental pollutants to damage windows and surrounding materials.

Whilst windows should be cleaned throughout the winter months, it is important to include window cleaning within a spring clean to effectively remove the built-up grime from winter.

 

A commercial spring clean is an investment to employee health and wellbeing as well as an investment to the commercial property itself. Protecting both employees and property material.
