Keeping the little things clean during winter makes all the difference.
Maintaining office cleanliness becomes a much larger job once the winter months set in. Dirty boots, vermin, flu bacteria, and hermetically sealed buildings can all be contributing factors to a dirty working environment. And although the large steps can be left to your cleaning professionals such as Showroom Janitorial Inc., there are simple activities individuals can implement which will help the office stay cleaner during the colder months.
Have a pair of ‘indoor’ footwear. Entryways are guaranteed to be a total mess when the snow arrives, but this mess doesn’t need to be tracked throughout the entirety of the building. Remove outer footwear upon entering the building and specify one specific piece of footwear as your ‘indoor’ shoes.
Make sure employees wash their hands on a regular basis, especially during the winter months. Bacteria need warmth to survive so they will be settling in on every surface of your workspace.
If you or other employees are sick, STAY HOME! Colds and cases of flu will spread like wildfire in an enclosed office space. Ensure sick day policies are enforced.
Inspect the office for signs of vermin. Rodents are looking for places to live out the winter season. You can do your part by inspecting the office interior and exterior for signs of ‘critters’. If you do find evidence, setting traps in strategic areas can help remove the office guests quickly.
Understand your individual business and specific cleaning requirements. Different businesses will need different cleaning, especially in the winter and spring months. Make sure your cleaning provider understands what your needs are and what they are following through with them.
Request that your cleaning provider Disinfect those frequently shared spaces. Restrooms and kitchens can be some of the dirtiest areas, but any highly trafficked areas will need special attention. Help control toxins and dirt by paying special attention to phones, tables, handles, computer keyboards, and mice.
