Depending on your type of business, you might have quite different requirements from your commercial cleaning services as the seasons change. Cooler months can bring more mud and slippery floors, for example, while the warmer months can bring dust and high traffic. As summer continues and evolves into autumn, here are some key commercial cleaning considerations for New Zealand businesses.
Addressing Increased Foot Traffic
The weather being at its best can bring out plenty of foot traffic for certain businesses. Retail, Industrial Warehouses, Childcare Facilities, and Coorporate Offices often experience inscreased activity during summer months. These demanding facilities require frequent cleaning services to maintain a safe and sanitary environment for all.
Particular areas of focus for your professional office cleaning services at this time might include cleaning floors, entryways and foyers, and deep cleaning any areas that are open to the public such as showrooms and washrooms.
Preparing for Business as Usual
With many taking a break from work over summer, there’s the unique chance for cleaning and maintenance tasks before things swing into full action again. Tasks that are often carried out at this time of year can include cleaning blinds or curtains, and dusting windowsills, fans and light fixtures.
Hay fever can still be triggered in late summer and into autumn, so vent cleaning and HVAC maintenance is a worthy step to include early in the calendar year. It’s also a good time for your cleaners to attend to common areas such as kitchens and bathrooms and ensure consumables such as liquid soap and paper towels have been replenished – particularly if you’ve had your cleaners in less frequently over the break.
When it comes to school cleaning, many of these recommendations remain the same whether you use a primary school, secondary school, high school or private school cleaning company. The warmer months before school returns are an opportunity to clean common areas that are usually busy such as classrooms and teacher lounges. Many schools will also use this time to refinish floors or treat them to a deep-clean, burnish and buff ahead of the school year.
Updating Business Cleaning Schedules
The changing of the season is the ideal time to adjust your cleaning schedule and check that all your cleaning needs are being met.
Over summer you might make an adjustment to your daily cleaning or weekly cleaning schedule to account for longer daylight hours, for example. You might also arrange for adjustments to your small office cleaning or large office cleaning services to suit your team shrinking or growing throughout the year.
Of course, another sector where cleaning needs can fluctuate depending on the season is in medical facility cleaning and day-hospital cleaning. Having a cleaning provider you trust is key if demand ramps up and you need to adjust your daily or weekly cleaning schedule.
