Fall Is Here! How To Prepare Your Business For The Cold Months
When the leaves put on their display of iconic Fall colours during this time of year, it’s a friendly reminder that it’s time to prepare for the incoming wintry weather. As Edmontonians know, the cold can swoop in fast, so it’s a good idea to get started as soon as possible!
While it’s easy to winterize the home, the office can get a little tricky. From insulating windows to changing floor mats, here are all the unsung ways you can clean and prep your Edmonton office for the winter.
Wash Exterior and Interior Windows
Over the summer, dirt and grime from outside can turn windows into smudgy nightmares. But, with the sun setting earlier, every bit of light and ambience that can make its way into the office is a must-have for your employees and customers.
Taking the time to wash windows ahead of the winter season ensures that your office will have fresh, clean, and clear windows to look through. While freeze-resistant cleaning products help, you’ll want to wash windows before the temperatures dip below freezing.
Depending on your windows, you may also want to remove window screens and have them deep cleaned as well before the winter season. As well, adding extra insulation along windows can also keep the cold out and heating costs down!
Clean Outdoor Areas
If your workplace has an outdoor area for employees to enjoy during their breaks, you’ll need to perform a tidy-up before the winter. Clean all outdoor furniture and store it away properly to avoid any damage from storms and snow. Next, winterize any water features, such as decorative fountains.
Sweep the ground of leaves and debris. Use a power washer to remove stains and grime from the pavement. Call in a professional to clear gutters of leaves to ensure proper drainage. Also, look for any potential entrances for mice and other rodents to shelter inside your building for the winter.
Cleaning the exterior can also make a lasting impact if you have a storefront or want to make a great first impression on customers. Your place can look like new again this fall!
Deep Clean Floors
Tracking in dirt happens year-round, but it’s a good idea to get your carpets professionally done by an Edmonton office cleaning service bi-annually.
The changing of the season is the perfect reminder to get this done. Clear away the stains, dirt, debris, and lingering pollen from the summer by thoroughly cleaning your carpets and area rugs. You may also want your hard flooring polished.
Inspect HVAC Systems
The heat’s about to be blasted! Schedule a maintenance appointment to check your heating system before the cold season. This way, you’re less likely to deal with an emergency when you need the heat the most.
Make sure to have your air ducts professionally inspected and cleaned. This cleaning ensures the air quality is healthy, just in time for everyone to spend most of their time inside.
Deep Clean the Office Interior
In addition to your regular office cleaning services for your Edmonton business, schedule a one-time deep clean.
Deep cleaning includes areas that might not get cleaned regularly like baseboards, ceiling fans, blinds, inside cupboards, under furniture, floor mats, storage rooms, upholstery, appliances, and more.
