Winter messes at work are common … but summer brings its own set of commercial cleaning challenges.
It’s easy to overlook the importance of maintaining a clean commercial space during the summer months, but the truth is it’s as crucial as industrial cleaning during the winter. While Northern BC’s snow and ice demand obvious attention during the chilly months, nasty workplace germs and bacteria persist year-round and summer brings its own set of challenges like pollen, humidity and dust. A pristine work environment not only impresses clients but also boosts employee morale, so having a robust protocol—for cleaning your business in Prince George, Quesnel or Williams Lake— in place is imperative.
Jani-King of Northern BC’s professional commercial cleaning teams excel at efficiently tackling the buildup of messes in your workspace, but here are some steps your employees can take to contribute to the effort:
Promote healthy workplace habits by encouraging all staff members to enjoy their snacks in the break room rather than at their desks or other work areas. Crumbs and leftover food items attract bugs and rodents, and it’s best to keep food away from office keyboards that can be quite filthy. Basic office cleaning tasks like removing food wrappers will also keep the entire area looking more professional and organized.
Unsightly dust is attracted to just about everything, so have your employees wipe down their work areas regularly. Speaking of filthy, keyboards, phones, and computer mice will harbour germs and bacteria as well, so encourage the use of disinfectant wipes on a regular basis to help prevent the spread of illnesses. High-traffic light switches, door handles, and kitchen appliance handles need a good cleaning, so make sure those are wiped consistently as well.
Even though you’re not dealing with slush and snow, maintaining the floor cleanliness and safety of your workspace in Prince George remains essential during the summer months. With warmer weather, more people walk to work, which inevitably tracks in dust, dirt and mud if it’s been raining. Sharing the responsibility of floor cleaning with a little vacuuming – or a brisk mop when necessary – will significantly contribute to keeping them shiny and safe.
Summer can also be a great time for decluttering, so engage everyone to work through the workspace to remove any extra items, such as old pieces of furniture or tools. A tidier, more organized environment will reduce stress and increase productivity across your entire team.
While your employees can certainly handle some light commercial cleaning tasks, it’s best to leave the intensive deep cleaning to the professionals for optimal hygiene and cleanliness in the workspace.
