Businesses know how vital it is to keep their spaces clean. But what types of services can commercial cleaning companies provide to help achieve this? We’re breaking down the list of services you can expect from a professional commercial cleaning company and exploring why these services are imperative to your business.
Everyday Commercial Cleaning Services List
Dusting
Proper dusting is one of the most standard cleaning services and should be done frequently. Dust may appear harmless, but it is a leading cause of indoor air pollution, which increases the risk of allergies, asthma and illness, ultimately reducing employee productivity. Not only does dusting improve the cleanliness of your environment, it results in a more positive and appealing image to building visitors and occupants.
Dusting should be performed daily on frequently used surfaces such as tables, desks and blinds. Other vertical surfaces, such as filing cabinets, air vents and light fixtures, should be dusted once every two to four weeks, and more often if needed. If a surface is between eye level and knee level, the general rule of thumb is to dust it weekly to prevent build-up.
Disinfecting Wiping
Disinfecting wiping is necessary to eliminate germs and bacteria. Any shared spaces, surfaces and equipment should be wiped down with a powerful, EPA-approved disinfecting solution daily. A commercial cleaning provider like Coverall® offers disinfecting wiping as a part of our everyday general cleaning services to consistently help minimize health risks to employees.
Vacuuming
Studies conducted by the International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA) have shown that foot traffic from just 1,000 people can generate up to 24 pounds of dirt over a 20-day period—that’s a lot of dirt being embedded into your carpet or coating your hard floors. This is why vacuuming should be a priority for any cleaning routine, and why many commercial cleaning providers include it in their standard cleaning services. With that said, how often do your carpets and floors need to be cleaned?
In high traffic areas, vacuuming should be done daily using a HEPA-filtration vacuum to greatly reduce the amount of dirt that collects in carpets and to improve the air quality of your indoor environment. Failing to vacuum regularly can allow soil to build up, which will damage and wear down carpets over time.
Keep in mind that not all commercial cleaning companies use HEPA vacuums, but it’s important to make sure you choose a provider, like Coverall, that does. HEPA filters trap 99.7% of airborne particles, keeping irritants and allergens out of the air and improving overall air quality.
Mopping
Hard floors that have any foot traffic should be mopped at least once a week to prevent build-up of dirt and grime. Be aware of the type of mop your commercial cleaning provider uses for this, however.
Several studies, including one conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency, have shown that traditional string mops are more likely to spread bacteria instead of removing it. While some commercial cleaning services still rely on string mops, Coverall employs a no-dip flat microfiber mopping system, which has undeniable benefits that make it a safer option for cleaning. With this system, a Coverall Franchise Business Owner releases just enough clean water and solution onto your floor’s surface to disinfect it and uses a flat mop to properly remove dirt. This system means the water and solution is never cross-contaminated, and none of the disinfectant solution is wasted.
Trash Removal
Regular trash removal is important in keeping your workplace clean and safe. Trash should be taken out daily and trash bins wiped down on handles and outside areas that get touched to avoid hazardous conditions in the workplace. Commercial cleaning companies are familiar with the many laws and regulations for safely removing and disposing of trash, and will be more committed to following them.
