As we head into fall, it is essential to start thinking about how to improve the health of your Vancouver workplace. Fall brings new seasonal challenges including slipping hazards, excessive moisture, and increased illness. Maximize efficiency and ensure a clean and healthy working environment by paying extra attention to these 4 commonly missed areas.
1.Office Kitchen Appliances
Office kitchen appliances are high-touch surfaces and germ hotspots that easily spread illness. They require a thorough wipe and should be sanitized to eliminate bacteria and germs. Cleaning is especially vital in office kitchens because they are a communal shared space. Consider office sanitization for your office kitchen to reduce illness and prevent cold and flu season from wiping out your office during the fall.
2. Door Knobs & Handles
High-touch surfaces are frequently missed. Door knobs and handles allow contagious viruses to spread rapidly. It is beneficial to place hand sanitizing stations nearby doors and entrances and clean and sanitize all knobs and handles throughout the office regularly. Electrostatic disinfection effectively eliminates airborne illness in offices and commercial spaces. The small particles can reach hard-to-reach surfaces more efficiently without the legwork.
3. High Surfaces
Dust can contribute to chronic illness and enhanced allergy symptoms in Vancouver offices. Vacuuming alone is not effective enough to remove dust. Consider upholstery cleaning, commercial carpet cleaning and high-surface dusting to ensure a healthy, dust-free workplace. It is important to dust from the top down to prevent dust from spreading.
4. Window Sills
Window sills can be especially dirty during the fall due to increased moisture. Wiping down windows and sills frequently is the best practice to avoid mould and mildew growth or deterioration of wood frames. Use a vinegar and water mixture in a spray bottle to remove bacteria and reseal windows when necessary.
Fall Office Cleaning Best Practices
Stay on top of office cleaning this fall to avoid damage and ensure healthy working conditions for staff and guests. Create a fall office cleaning checklist tailored to your business to prevent missed cleaning tasks and ensure all seasonal cleaning requirements are met. Communicate with your Vancouver office cleaners regularly and update them immediately when you notice issues. Doing so will create a healthy relationship with your office cleaners and ensure the best results.
