An Office Cleaning Guide to Winnipeg’s Winter
In Winnipeg, we never know what kind of sh*t is going to happen with the weather. Some days, it will be warm and sunny and we’ll all be saying “What a nice day for January! There’s hardly any snow on the ground!” Yeah right…You wake up the next morning with 4ft of snow, your car won’t start, the windows are frosty, you have to shovel your driveway and to top it all off it’s -40 C.
We all know how terrible Winter can be in Winnipeg, but we’re here to talk about the mess that comes with it. You know exactly what we’re talking about, the sand and the salt that keeps you from slipping, the snow that sticks to your pants as you’re trudging through piles of snow, and the sloppy wet boots, the puddles of muddy water that you step in with your socks on - the list could go on forever. We’re not here to complain all day… Instead we want to give you some cleaning tips to help the Winter days be a little bit better!
Clean up your office entry-way.
When you get to the office in the morning, the last thing you want to do is trip over a bunch of shoes. Put away any shoes that you’re not using for the colder months. If you don’t have the space, try and keep things organized by having a place where you can slip off your Winter boots as soon as you enter. This can be as simple as putting shoes against a wall or even better a separate rack just for outdoor shoes!
Muddy shoes can bring in a lot of dirt and germs which is something that nobody wants because it can make you and your team feeling unwell, leading to more sick days, less productivity and an overwhelmed team.
Disinfection and Sanitization
The colder months usually bring colds and other respiratory viruses. You don’t want your team to get sick or if they ARE sick you don’t want it spreading to anybody else. By regularly cleaning and sanitizing shared surfaces you are eliminating harmful bacteria and germs.
Mop those floors!
Dust and dirt can find its way onto your floors even if you’re taking your shoes off when you get inside. Sweep and mop your floors regularly so everything can remain squeaky clean!
Now we know that the people in your workplace probably don’t want to be the ones mopping the floors and sanitizing surfaces when they have a list full of tasks. That is why, an easy and efficient way to keep your office space clean is to hire a cleaning service! What better way to increase workplace productivity than to work with people who love to clean.
