Make sure your office is up to the cleaning standards for you and your employees.

Blooming flowers, cute springtime outfits, warmer weather, sunshine, and no more snow! Spring is here and so many wonderful things come along with the season. But there is one aspect that is dreaded. Spring Cleaning. When it comes to your office keeping it clean is so important for both your employees and your customers. Cleaning the office regularly reduces the number of harmful germs and bacteria present. Fewer sick days mean more productivity. And speaking of productivity, a clean office is clear of distractions and obstacles that make work more cumbersome.

COVID-19 has changed so much about how we live and do business, including how deeply and how often office cleaning is recommended. Deep cleaning is important, especially if you suspect or have confirmed a COVID-19 case in your workplace. Deep cleaning in the office revitalizes your workspace by going further than the normal weekly cleaning procedures.

When to Schedule?

On average, an office with light traffic or few employees may need a deep clean once or twice a year. Medium traffic may need a bit more attention; twice a year or every other month. However, carpeted offices with heavy traffic may need deep cleaning as frequently as once a month. Regardless of your office’s size, a deep cleaning can be done any time of the year. With the current going-on in the world, you also need to deep clean after any COVID-19 outbreaks.
