Many businesses today have returned to normal office operations, though some still work on a hybrid working environment. As a result, it's imperative to ensure your office is gleaming and healthy, meeting high cleanliness and sanitisation standards.
While many London offices have in-house cleaning teams, there are office areas that are often overlooked that require regular cleaning, reducing the spread of germs, improving indoor air quality, and reducing absenteeism.
Overlooked areas can quickly build up with germs, bacteria, dust, and dirty, which can increase health risks and structural damage. When you know what areas are often overlooked, you can focus on these areas, incorporating them into your cleaning schedule.
Let's get straight to the point. The most common overlooked office areas that require regular cleaning include:
While some of these areas require daily cleaning to avoid the spread of germs and bacteria, others can be done weekly, even monthly. How often these areas should be cleaned is determined by your office layout and size, number of employees, and how busy your office is during the day. Businesses operating hybrid environments will need to clean these areas more often, due to the constant change over of staff.
Did you know that over sixty percent of employees feel safer when they see cleaning teams regularly in their office environment?
There is a big difference between dusting and cleaning, and disinfecting, yet both need to be done to create a clean and healthy working environment. Partnering with professional office cleaning services ensures your office is cleaned thoroughly, using the right equipment ad products. At Sloane Cleaning Services, we use eco-friendly cleaning products that are tough on dirt, along with proven disinfectants, and energy efficient and water efficient equipment.
Consistent cleaning is key to providing a healthy working environment that improves staff morale and productivity, lowering absenteeism. Ignoring everyday cleaning, such as cleaning and disinfecting high touch areas and high traffic areas, will increase the build up of germs and bacteria.
Establish a cleaning schedule that your in-house cleaning team can follow to reduce the risk of overlooking office areas that need regular cleaning. It is also important to take seasonal factors into consideration. Winter time brings cold and flu, meaning high absenteeism rates. Reduce this risk by cleaning and disinfecting more frequently, reducing the spread of germs amongst employees.
