Get Ready For Spring: 7 Ways To Prep Your Office For The Warm Months
The sun is hanging around a little longer these days, and there’s a light at the end of the tunnel that is Edmonton’s long winter! Before you know it, the tulips and crocuses will emerge from their winter sleep and that prairie summer will be upon us once again.
There’s a reason people get serious about the age-old concept of spring cleaning. The changing of the seasons is one of the best times of the year for a deep cleaning; you can wipe away the grime of winter and get things ready for the warm seasons.
Spring cleaning takes place at the office too! Now is the perfect time to schedule office cleaning services in Edmonton.
Here’s exactly what should be on your office spring cleaning checklist!
Deep Carpet Cleaning
Even if your employees or customers are diligent about wiping their feet at the door, the reality is that Edmonton winters are dirty! We track in lots of dirt, debris, and sludge on our winter boots, only to have most of it melt into the carpet. Yuck! Not a great look for your customers or your employees.
Spring is one of the best times to have your carpets professionally cleaned. A thorough carpet clean will get all traces of winter dirt and silt out, just in time to usher in the summer season.
Window Cleaning
Likewise, our windows can take a hit during the winter months with all the storms that disrupt the prairies. Sometimes you don’t notice how dirty your windows are until you’ve cleaned them!
Have the interior and exterior of your windows cleaned so you let all that glorious spring and summer sunshine come through. Plus, it looks great!
Clean Hard-to-Reach Places
Hard-to-reach places aren’t cleaned very often due to the difficulty and lack of visibility. But just because you can’t see these surfaces easily doesn’t mean they’re not dirty!
Dust can accumulate significantly in just a few months. So, you’ll want someone to come in and give these surfaces a good cleaning and sanitization.
These hard-to-reach surfaces can include ceiling fans, light fixtures, high shelves, blinds or shutters, windows and sills, upper walls, and more.
Scrub Untouched Places
Some areas may be outside of regular office cleaning for your Edmonton business. It’s one thing for your employees to empty their waste bins and sanitize their workstations at the end of the day, but other cleaning duties simply don’t fall into their job description – and that’s okay!
Spring is a good time to outsource deep cleaning services to scrub the place from top to bottom, so your employees stay happy and focused on their duties!
Areas that might not get cleaned regularly include walls, baseboards, doors, trash cans, shelves, etc. You want to get every nook and cranny!
Service Air Vents
Make your office or workspace as fresh inside as it is outside and service your air vents! Just like the surfaces in your office space, your air vents can also collect quite a bit of dust.
Cleaning your air ducts will greatly improve your office’s air quality and prevent dust from accumulating on surfaces in the first place!
Clean Office Exterior
Your office exterior may also need some work to get in shape for the warmer months! Between winter storms and a brigade of salt to stop all the ice, the exterior of your building, sidewalks, and outdoor structures can look a little dowdy after the winter.
Pressure washing gives the exterior of your property a much-needed facelift that will have it looking spick and span for the new season, which will make it that much more inviting for your customers!
Ask Your Employees to Declutter
In addition to hiring office cleaning companies in Edmonton to do the work, and keeping in mind the nature of your business and your employee’s roles, you can ask your employees to get involved by decluttering their own space.
Set aside time for everyone to go through desk drawers and get rid of items they no longer need or use. Recycle old papers and wipe down surfaces.
Your employees will notice an immediate change! A clean workspace can greatly improve productivity and clear the mind.
