Milwaukee businesses face unique challenges in maintaining clean and healthy workplaces, especially during winter months along the shores of Lake Michigan. Seasonal flu outbreaks, cold weather, and indoor air quality concerns make professional disinfecting essential for employee health and productivity. Here are tailored disinfecting tips and insights into how Coverall’s commercial cleaning services can support Milwaukee businesses in creating healthier environments year-round.

Why Disinfecting Matters in Milwaukee Workplaces

In Milwaukee, winter weather and close office quarters can amplify germ transmission. Snow, ice, and salt tracked in from outdoors add to the challenges of maintaining cleanliness. Poor indoor air quality during colder months further exacerbates health risks, with increased sniffling creating a storm of germs in the office. These factors underline the importance of disinfecting frequently to reduce illness, improve air quality and keep employees healthy and productive.

Common Areas to Prioritize for Disinfecting

Whether it’s a government building that needs cleaning, or a corporate headquarters, certain spaces in your Milwaukee office are more prone to germ accumulation and require consistent disinfecting. Door handles and light switches, for example, see constant contact throughout the day and can harbor bacteria and viruses if not cleaned regularly. Breakrooms and kitchens are another critical focus area, as shared appliances like microwaves and refrigerators often facilitate cross-contamination among employees. Similarly, restrooms, with their high usage, demand thorough disinfecting to maintain hygiene and minimize illness.

Desks and shared workstations also deserve special attention. These spaces not only collect personal germs but also transfer them among coworkers when shared equipment, such as keyboards and phones, is used. Finally, reception areas are essential to keep spotless. As the first space visitors encounter, they reflect your business’s professionalism while simultaneously reducing germ transmission in a high-traffic zone. Coverall’s Core 4^® Cleaning Process ensures each of these areas is cleaned with precision and care, leaving your office clean and welcoming. 

Best Practices for Disinfecting Your Office

To keep your office clean and employees healthy, Coverall professional cleaning protocols include these gold standard practices:  

1. High-Quality Disinfectants

Coverall uses EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants proven to eliminate 99.9% of germs and bacteria. These products are highly effective against viruses that thrive in indoor spaces during Milwaukee’s winters.

2. Cleaning Expertise

The knowledge of professional cleaners is princess. For example, commonly used spray-and-wipe techniques can be ineffective. Coverall professionals allow disinfectants to sit on surfaces for the recommended dwell time to ensure maximum germ-killing power.

3. The Core 4^® Cleaning Process

Coverall’s Core 4^® Process ensures thorough cleaning:

• Color-coded microfiber cloths to prevent germ spread.
• HEPA vacuum cleaners for improved air quality by trapping 99% of particles.
• No-dip flat mops to avoid cross-contamination.
• Hospital-grade disinfectants for maximum germ elimination.

4. Clean Frequently

Regular cleaning schedules are critical during cold and flu season. Frequently used areas should be disinfected multiple times a day, while less-used spaces should still receive regular attention.

Tips for Employees to Keep Their Spaces Clean

Encouraging employees to maintain cleanliness in their personal and shared spaces can complement professional cleaning efforts. Here are actionable steps employees can take:

• Use hand sanitizer regularly.
• Wipe down personal desks, keyboards and phones daily.
• Avoid leaving food waste in communal areas.
• Properly dispose of tissues and sanitize hands afterward.
• Encourage clean desk policies to simplify daily cleaning routines.
