Much like hard surface floors, if you have carpet in your office it requires not only regular daily maintenance to keep it looking (and smelling) fresh and clean, it also needs a regular deep cleaning program. We recommend you implement a seasonal program that includes spot treatment/stain removal, extraction and steam cleaning to restore your carpet’s appearance and help extend its life in your facility.

UPHOLSTERY STEAM CLEANING.  Frequency: Once annually.

Think of how many people visit your office every day – add to that the number of employees working with you. That’s a lot of people using your furniture. Can you even remember the last time you had upholstered surfaces deep cleaned? Did you know it was even a thing? Set some time aside every year to have a professional cleaning company come in and deep clean your upholstered office furniture – you’ll be surprised how refreshed your whole office will look and smell!

WASHROOM DEEP CLEANING AND DISINFECTING.  Frequency: Start of every season.

There is literally no other space in your office that works as hard as a washroom – and it can be one of the most difficult spaces to maintain. It’s imperative that you implement a regular cleaning program to deal with daily messes, but equally as important is a deep cleaning schedule to get to the hard to deal with stains, smells and dirt that accumulates over time no matter how thorough the regular cleaning is.

CLEANING OF INTERIOR WINDOWS, PARTITIONS AND LIGHT FIXTURES.  Frequency: Once annually.

There’s a good chance that your regular cleaning program includes window cleaning at some frequency, but it’s still a good idea to have someone come in and focus on a thorough cleaning (think sills, frames, glass etc.) to remove the accumulation of dirt and debris. The same applies for partitions (if you have them) and especially light fixtures. Have a look right now – see any shadows of dead flies or dirt particles? Because of their height they are often not part of a regular cleaning program and thus require special attention. You might not see them everyday, but guaranteed a visitor to your office will notice.

There you have it – a list of our most recommended areas to focus on with a deep cleaning program. Now that we’re approaching the season changeover from summer to fall it’s a great time to check a few of these things off your list.
