Businesses often switch to hybrid office cleaning schedules during the summertime, as employees take vacation time and business is slower than usual. A reduced office cleaning schedule allows businesses to focus on deep cleaning tasks that aren’t performed on a daily or weekly basis. Summer is an ideal time to deep clean commercial floors, upholstery, office kitchens, public restrooms, and high surfaces. There are fewer obstacles and more dwell time available for the most effective cleaning. Whether your business has a reduced cleaning schedule or more time to tackle items on your to-do list, Clean Green Solutions is here to help your business stay in tip-top shape year-round.
Office Bathrooms
Public restrooms require routine cleaning and disinfection to prevent illness and maintain a professional brand image. Office bathroom partitions, door handles, dispensers, hand dryers, and toilets do not often get the detailed cleaning they need. An office bathroom deep clean during the summer creates cleaning consistency and establishes a healthy workplace. The summer is also a great time to make bathroom upgrades for easier cleaning, such as touchless bathroom appliances.
Office Kitchens
Office fridges rarely get cleaned out often enough, which can be a health and safety issue. A thorough summer clean—inside and out—can prevent cross-contamination and reduce health risks. Don’t forget to defrost the freezer for optimal efficiency. Wipe and sanitize all other office appliances and clean out cupboards, being sure to check for any signs of pest infestations. Summer is the perfect time for rodents and pests to weasel their way into your office space.
High Surfaces
Picture frames, shelves, ceiling fans, structural beams, and ventilation pipes can be the culprits of poor indoor air quality and cause chronic allergy symptoms. High surface dusting minimizes workplace hazards and prevents poor air quality during the summer, when it matters most. High surface dusting should be performed outside of office hours or in closed-off areas to prevent safety hazards. Prioritizing these neglected areas is especially important during the summer, when air quality tends to be more of a concern.
Office Upholstery
Summer work attire can cause sweat stains, and additional natural light can highlight imperfections on office furniture. Upholstery steam cleaning is advantageous during the summer for keeping office upholstery clean, odour-free, and well-maintained.
Commercial Floors
Office floors require cleaning year-round to extend their lifespan and ensure proper traction. Hard floor surfaces should be dusted, swept, vacuumed, and mopped daily to eliminate dust buildup, which can be a slipping hazard during the summer. Carpets, on the other hand, trap dirt, dust, and allergens—regular cleaning helps mitigate these issues and keeps pests at bay. Summer is also a great time for commercial floor services such as stripping, waxing, and sealing, which protect commercial floors from damage and enhance traction. Ongoing floor maintenance is more effective than annual deep cleaning, helping extend the lifespan of your floors and reducing long-term costs.
A reduced summer cleaning schedule doesn’t mean your office has to suffer. Use this downtime to tackle overlooked areas and prepare for a productive, clean return to full operations. Clean Green Solutions is here to support your summer cleaning goals—keeping your workplace clean, green, and in top condition all year long.
