Why Hire Professional Cleaning Service

As the nation
shifts into reopening from the coronavirus pandemic shutdowns, many of us may
be wondering, “Is my workplace clean?”, “Is it safe?” Going back to the
office or any public location can be a scary time after fighting a year-long
pandemic. As the time is coming closer to officially move back into the
office, the opening of gyms, and or going back to campus. It’s important to
make sure our environment is disinfected and free of
germs.

How
Often Should a Workplace be Professionally
Cleaned?

It’s no secret that high-traffic areas such as
lobbies, bathrooms, desks, and door handles need to be cleaned regularly. But
how often should a professional commercial cleaning crew clean and disinfect
the workplace to keep you and others safe? Especially in the midst of
fighting a pandemic, Stratus Building Solutions suggests having your
workplace professionally deep cleaned once a month minimum, but it really
depends on how busy your facility is. For example, medical and or facilities
with children, it is recommended there should be a cleaning service every
operating day; or if you operate a building with multiple tenants, 5 days a
week is suggested. While germs love to play hide and seek, there are times we
must call in the professionals to find all the hiding germs and disinfect
thoroughly. 

Is
it Best to Disinfect Before Working Hours or After Working
Hours?

There is no “best” hour to disinfect the workplace.
There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration such as type
of facility, hours of operation, is there constantly high foot traffic, and
much more. Routinely cleaning and disinfecting high-traffic areas throughout
operating hours is important to maintain a healthy clean environment.
However, when hiring a professional cleaning crew it may be helpful for the
crew to have easy access to each room in the facility. This often makes
after-hours disinfecting a better choice, as it gives the cleaning crew
access to areas such as private offices, restrooms, and conference halls.
However, if you prefer before hours, Stratus Building Solutions franchisees
use Green Seal Certified
products with
low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to ensure safety for the staff and your
workplace. Meaning anyone can be in the facility during or right after the as
the green chemicals leave no harmful vapors. If you are an employee it is
always okay to ask what necessary steps are being taken to ensure your health
and safety. 

How
Can I Help Keep Myself and Others
Safe?

You can always help fight the germs by keeping your
surroundings clean as possible by simply wiping down your high-touch areas,
wearing a mask and keeping a safe distance between you and others. With
businesses and schools reopening in many places it’s extremely important to
make sure everyone feels safe and secure while in the workplace or in a
public facility. Remember there are certain cleaning supplies for certain
surfaces.  

Following the procedures suggested by the Center for Disease
Control and Prevent (CDC) will help maintain a healthy environment in your
workplace. The CDC has many cleaning and disinfecting procedures and
recommendations to help keep your facility clean. It is important to realize
all the small details to ensure the safety for yourself and others.
