How Have Office Cleaning Services Changed Pandemic Began

Everyone
learned a lot about how to clean and where germs hide in 2020. So how has the
definition of clean changed? What will people expect now from a commercial
cleaning company as they return to the office? What will no longer be ignored?

With the emergence of the coronavirus at the beginning
of 2020, office cleaning businesses had to quickly adapt to meet the needs of
customers, making sanitization an urgent priority beyond even the highest
standards of a pre-pandemic world. With the virus unlikely to disappear any
time soon, office cleaning services will continue to implement the tools and
practices that are essential to provide businesses with the safest, cleanest
environments for their employees and customers.

A New Kind of
Clean

It’s hard to even remember a time before COVID-19,
when flu season wasn’t a year-round concern. As we continue to learn more
about how the coronavirus spreads, our needs have shifted beyond standard
office cleaning services. The health of our employees has always been a
priority, but the increased risk of contagion posed by working in enclosed,
communal environments requires more meticulous action than ever
before.  

Living and working in a world faced with the
coronavirus means that office cleaning services have had to up their game to
provide the highest level of care for their customers. Deep cleaning with an
emphasis on sanitization and disinfection have become much more routine, and
cleaning services have adopted cutting edge tools and products to fit the
growing needs. Stratus Building Solutions uses top-notch cleaning tools like
Electrostatic Sprayers which sanitize surfaces using 65% less chemicals than
traditional methods. These kinds of new technology mean more efficiency and a
higher level of care.

Focus on
Health

Pre-Covid, standard office cleaning services involved
emptying the trash, vacuuming and mopping the floors, dusting and wiping
surfaces, and the occasional deep clean. Now, for offices that are able to
remain open in any capacity, routine sanitization and disinfection is
required to maintain a healthy workspace.

Cleaning companies are now expected to have a
meticulous attention to detail, with the ability to evaluate the cleaning
service needs of each customer on an individual basis. High-traffic offices
may require more frequent deep cleaning than a business running with a
skeleton staff. High-touch surfaces like doorknobs and light switches should
be paid closer attention when used on a more regular basis. Office cleaning
services are no longer one-size-fits-all.

Office managers will seek out cleaning services that
equate cleanliness with health. While still expected, emptied wastebaskets
and dust-free blinds are no longer the top priority. Stratus Building
Solutions has focused on maintaining a germ-free workplace well before
coronavirus became a concern, so their highly trained staff of cleaners was
well-prepared to meet the challenges of the pandemic, and will continue to
offer cutting-edge cleaning services even as the prevalence of the virus
diminishes.

Thinking Long
Term

While prioritizing employees’ health, cleaning service
customers are still mindful of the impact that cleaning products may have on
the future. A disinfected and sanitized workspace doesn’t have to involve
short term solutions that will be toxic to the environment down the line.
Stratus Building Solutions is proud to offer commercial certified green
cleaning services, effectively providing immediate health protection while
supporting long term environmental
sustainability.
