The Importance of Cleaning Consistency

The New Year is the best time to implement new cleaning practices. It lets your business start with a clean slate and helps establish positive long-term habits. Outsourcing your office or commercial cleaning services to a professional cleaning company creates cleaning consistency. Cleaning consistency impacts brand image, workplace health and safety, employee morale, and customer satisfaction. A clean, organized working environment contributes to a business’s success and makes a company stand out among its competitors.

Set the Tone for the New Year

The Effects of Chronic Illness During the Holidays

Prioritizing health and wellness during the holidays contributes to a successful New Year. A hygienic working environment boosts morale, fosters productivity, and ensures business runs smoothly and efficiently. Neglecting commercial cleaning at the beginning of the year can negatively impact your business and cause staff to consider changing career paths in the New Year. It can also create poor-quality work and cost a company thousands of dollars. Hiring commercial cleaners to maintain your business can help create a stress-free January. 

Increased Downtime

Productivity is often low at the start of the year due to staff taking vacation time, personal commitments, holiday events, and end-of-year workload stress. Chronic workplace illness halts employees from doing their jobs, which can cause increased downtime…

New Year, Clean Office

A cluttered working environment increases the likelihood of workplace accidents and creates the ideal environment for bacteria and germs to thrive.

The Importance of Cleaning During an Office Move

The New Year is a popular time of year for office move-outs. A couple of things are vital when planning a big move. Coordinating an office move well in advance will allow your business to run smoothly before, during, and after the move. Hiring the same office cleaning company to clean your current space and new office creates consistency and is more efficient. Make an office move-in/out checklist and ensure your staff and cleaners are aware to avoid timeline delays, missed cleaning tasks, and miscommunications. It is best to have your office cleaners clean an empty space instead of cleaning around boxes and other obstacles. It will not only ensure a better cleaning but also be more effective. Here are some tips for your next office move!

Office Upholstery Cleaning Tips for the Holiday Season

Maintaining clean office upholstery during the holiday season can be a challenge. Frequent events, heavy foot traffic, and lenient office rules over the holidays can cause staining, discolouration, and bleaching on upholstered chairs and couches. Infrequent office upholstery cleaning creates permanent wear and tear, making an office appear dirty and unprofessional. Commercial upholstery steam cleaning is beneficial for refreshing dull-looking office chairs and sofas and helps eliminate bacteria. Give your commercial upholstery the gift of a deep clean this holiday season!

Spot Clean Spills

Some fabrics stain more easily than others. Spot cleaning immediately after a spill is paramount and prevents the stain from being absorbed deep within the upholstery fibres. It is best practice to refer to the manufacturer’s…

Eco-Friendly Ice Melt Alternatives

As global warming continues to rise, it is critical to consider your impact on the environment. Implementing waste sorting programs, creating a bring-your-own-dishes-to-work policy, using motion sensors for soap dispensers and hand dryers, and going paperless are a few of the many ways you can minimize your business’s impact on the planet. Another green initiative includes using eco-friendly ice melt alternatives. Salts and chlorides present in most chemical-based ice melts negatively affect our ecosystem by entering our waterways. When ingested by animals, ice melt can cause severe harm. There are many store-bought eco-friendly ice melt alternatives; however, these items you may have in your cupboard will also suffice.

Why Commercial Floor Maintenance is Crucial in the Winter

Commercial floors are meant to withstand heavy foot traffic but are not designed to withstand harsh winter elements. Commercial floor care helps extend the lifespan of commercial floors and protects them from wear and tear. Sealing hard floor surfaces and using anti-slip mats in high-traffic areas minimize the dirt, moisture, and mud tracked into a business.

Winter Office Safety Hazards You Should Be Aware Of

Every season has its unique challenges. The winter brings cold temperatures, more precipitation, and less daylight. Recognizing potential office safety hazards can prevent workplace injuries, and health risks, and boost employee morale. Make safety a priority this winter by hiring office cleaning professionals to maintain your business.

Wet Floors

Wet floors are the number one cause of slips, trips, and falls. Hard floor surfaces are especially slippery when moisture is present. Winter in Vancouver can be wet and rainy, making it difficult to keep commercial floors clean. Use absorbent, anti-slip mats in entrances and other high-traffic areas and consider waxing hard floors to enhance grip. Utilize hazard signs around the office to remind staff, customers, and guests of potential slipping hazards.

Holiday Carpet Stains & How to Remove Them

Tis the season of stains! Enjoy the holiday season and its festivities without taking a toll on your office carpets. Tending to stains immediately prevents a stain from being deeply absorbed into carpet fibres and makes it easier to remove. Spot testing is critical when cleaning commercial carpets, especially when unsure about the material. Consider low-maintenance commercial floor options when designing your office space. There are a variety of common holiday carpet stains we often come across. Keep reading to learn more!

Red Wine

Red wine or mulled wine can be tricky to remove from carpets because of its dark pigment. Avoid rubbing the stain, as it will only deepen it.

Encouraging a “cleaning-up-as-you-go” policy in the workplace is a positive habit that can make all the difference during the holidays. Before we enter December, it is beneficial to communicate with your current office cleaning company and inform them of any expected changes in foot traffic, meetings, events, and problem areas, so you are both on the same page.
