Make Your Facility Sparkle and Shine for the Holidays with Commercial Cleaning

A clean facility always gives off an excellent first impression. However, with the holiday season officially here, there are more specific challenges you have to face when trying to maintain the cleanliness of your premises. From all the decorations here and there to the wetter and colder weather, there are plenty of considerations to make sure that your facility is sparkling clean all the time.

Of course, there is more to cleaning than aesthetics alone. When your facility is clean from top to bottom, it also assures you that every nook and corner is safer. Here are a few pointers to prepare your facility for the coming holidays:

Dust-Off Those Holiday Decorations

Holiday decorations give your facility a more festive cheer and serve as a warm welcome to everyone. But one thing you have to remember is that these decorations require some extra cleaning.

Depending on the specific holiday decorations you have, you need to clean and sanitize them just like the rest of the items and furniture pieces in your facility. This way, you can be sure that they will continue to shine brightly and spread cheer instead of making your space look grubby and a germ spreader.

Keep Your Floors Hazard-Free for the Holidays

The holidays mean your facility will be getting more foot traffic than usual. Add the wetter weather season, and you’ll have a hard time keeping your floors clean and safe.

The following are just some of the most common problems that facilities often deal with:

• Rain or snow outside often means that people’s shoes will bring water inside, aside from the run-off from waterproof clothing and umbrellas.
• Increased foot traffic means your carpeted floors will have more caked-in dirt. Meanwhile, tile floors will end up with muddy tracks, turning them into potential slip hazards at the same time.
• The entrances of your facility may also incur water damages because of frequently opening doors when there are heavy rains outside.

Your commercial cleaners must monitor the floors often, especially at your building’s entrance points to ensure that they are clean all the time. Wet floor signs must be displayed as well if necessary to ensure the safety of your visitors and store.

It is also essential to regularly mop wet spots and to keep the space looking spick and span. Aside from wet spots, you might also need to sweep additional debris.

Sanitize to Say Goodbye to Pathogens

Finally, it has become more important than ever to take your sanitization and cleaning efforts to the next level during colder months to keep your visitors safe and healthy and reduce cases of employee sickness. Aside from the usual sickness bugs, cold, and flu, there are still many types of germs and viruses out there that you need to watch out for.

Pathogens can survive on different surfaces, spread, and get transmitted from there. People touch all kinds of surfaces every day and your facility, in particular, has tons of hotspots that require sanitization to prevent the spread of bacteria and germs.
