Have you ever wondered how often your commercial office is being cleaned and if it’s being done correctly?
Since returning to the office post-covid, it is important to know the cleaning practices that are implemented in your office to ensure that your working environment is clean and well-maintained. Having a clean commercial space not only does it allow for the office to look clean, but it also has many other benefits that will be further discussed.
Every commercial space will always be cleaned differently. Different factors that determine how often it is cleaned are foot traffic and property type. Questions to ask are the number of employees that utilise the space and how often, how often you get visits to the office and the size of your commercial space.
These are all questions that can determine the cleaning routine that needs to be implemented. Once determining these factors, it is important to know that two types of cleaning should be carried out; regular commercial cleaning and deep cleaning.
What is regular commercial cleaning?
Regular commercial cleaning is the basic cleaning of floors, toilets, desks, and the kitchen. When cleaners perform regular cleaning, they are dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and wiping down surfaces. These areas and surfaces must be regularly cleaned due to them being high-touch surfaces and are regularly used.
Did you know 10 MILLION bacteria live on the average desk, making it 400 times dirtier than the average toilet seat and 7,500 bacteria are on an average office keyboard? (- Research by JHMA).
Due to these areas and surfaces being high-traffic areas, it is very essential that routine cleaning is implemented. This cleaning must be done regularly to prevent the build-up of dust, dirt, grime, and the spread of germs and bacteria.
Below we will provide a summary of how often you should be cleaning:
What is deep commercial cleaning?
Deep commercial cleaning is the in-depth cleaning of the workspace and is usually in areas that may be missed during daily cleaning. Deep cleaning is done less often than regular commercial cleaning as it’s very thorough, and usually involves deep carpet cleaning, external windows, in-depth floor cleaning and scrubbing and washing.
The purpose of deep commercial cleaning is to tackle areas and surfaces that have hidden, dust, germs, and bacteria. The ideal frequency of deep commercial cleaning is weekly, monthly, or fortnightly, depending on office size and foot traffic.
The benefits of cleaning your working environment?
The obvious benefit of cleaning your workspace is having a clean working environment however there are more benefits than that. When your employees are in a clean working space it minimises distraction and their productivity increases.
A study by the Staples Corporation found that 94% of workers reported feeling more productive in a clean workspace. In comparison, 77% said they felt they produced a higher quality of work in a cleaner environment.
By having a cleaner environment, you provide a safe and healthier working environment and are also preventing the spread of germs and bacteria, helping reduce sick leave. Not only are you helping improve the health of your employees, but a clean environment also provides a good brand image to visitors and clients, showing that your company takes pride in their appearance and the level of cleanliness.
By maintaining a clean commercial workspace, your office is also saving costs. By routinely cleaning, you are also preventing the need to spend more money to deep clean all the time. Maintenance cleaning also preserves the quality of your equipment and surfaces in your commercial space. When you’re constantly cleaning it, you’re preventing the build-up of dirt, dust and grime that could potentially damage your products if not cleaned regularly.
