An annual deep cleaning does not only tidy things up, it eliminates viruses and bacteria on the germiest of surfaces. While bathrooms and kitchens are breeding ground for germs, so are any regularly touched surfaces like light switches, water fountain handles or buttons, telephones receivers, and keyboards. If more than one employee regularly touches anything, it’s a magnet for germs, and an investment in cleaning can pay off in fewer worker sick days taken.
An office deep clean is like spring cleaning for your office space, only it can be done any time of the year or as many times as necessary to keep your workspace in top shape and encourage your employees to maintain healthy and productive habits. While any professional’s regular cleaning schedule aims to maintain the condition of carpets, surfaces, and kitchen and bathroom fixtures and decrease wear and tear, a deep cleaning is for those overlooked spaces that with the passage of time build up clutter as well as dirt and grime.
While modern office interiors are more open than they ever have been, reducing potential cubby and cupboard detritus, modern office workers are still likely to leave their mark on even the best of interiors. This is why an annual or semi-annual deep clean is needed: clean and tidy surroundings increase wellness and morale and can even boost your business’s sales over time.
What exactly is involved in a deep cleaning? Every office environment is unique, but typically we at First Choice will:
- Move all furniture so that carpets and floors can be thoroughly mopped, scrubbed, or vacuumed.
- Empty all kitchen cupboards and appliances and clean them inside and out.
- Wipe down all surfaces not normally tackled, including light switches, mop boards, and door handles.
- Thoroughly clean and disinfect all bathroom surfaces and polish mirrors.
- Vacuum out vents and drapes and dust all surfaces including window ledges, tracks, and blinds.
- Wipe down or vacuum all furniture.
- Clean and sanitize computer keyboards and screens as well as telephones.
First Choice can also arrange to wash windows, clean ceilings, and shampoo carpets as a part of an office deep clean. If the above does not seem thorough to you, we can arrange cleaning of any type or degree, to your specification.
