In our last article, we discussed the benefits of daily sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, and sanitizing high-touch surfaces in midsized commercial facilities. In today’s article, we’ll discuss the additional services the Sonlight Cleaning Services team provides to our daily janitorial cleaning clients.
Disinfecting common areas is important because it goes a step beyond sanitizing. Sanitizing only lowers the number of pathogens on a surface. Disinfecting, on the other hand, kills a large percentage (number dependent on the cleaner but typically 99.9%) of germs on a surface. Disinfecting is most successfully done “after hours” because products require a certain amount of dwell time (i.e. time the product is on a surface) in order to kill the advertised percentage of germs.
Removing trash is another crucial daily janitorial task performed by the Sonlight Cleaning Services team. Nothing says unprofessional like an overfilled or fragrant trash receptacle. Each trash can containing waste must be emptied daily or even more frequently in high-traffic areas such as entryways and reception areas. A clean restroom says a lot about a facility. Ensure yours has only positive things to say!
Window and glass cleaning is important for making positive first impressions. Daily janitorial team members wipe down glass on entryway doors, reflective surfaces, and anything that shows fingerprints and smudges. Most people do not notice when glass is clean, but everyone notices when glass is not clean! Make a shining first impression with daily care of your reflective services.
Cleaning and restocking restrooms is absolutely a necessary daily task. Janitorial care in restrooms ensures that paper towels and toilet paper dispensers are well supplied, floors are clean of debris and fall hazards, and toilets are (shall we say) sanitary for the next person.
In closing, one benefit we haven’t touched is that of improved air quality and, therefore, morale. The combination of the services we have discussed offers dramatically improved indoor air quality in your facility. Dust, allergens, and irritants can land on surfaces in your building and then be disturbed and re-launched into the air. The higher the concentration of these irritants, the more likely they will end up back in the air again and again, increasing distraction and illness and decreasing the likelihood of a productive work environment for your team. Both tangible and intangible benefits are provided by hiring a professional daily janitorial cleaning care specialist; Sonlight Cleaning Services is the expert in daily janitorial care for the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex!
