Dust is everywhere, especially if your office is located near a construction zone. It can be challenging to keep your office clean, healthy, and welcoming when you are tackling a constant stream of dust coming from the construction site.
Dust can quickly become a serious issue, especially if you experience a high volume of foot traffic each day. Exterior dust can get trapped on shoes and walked into the office, leaving surfaces dirty and unpleasant. While you cannot get rid of 100% of the dust when you have a construction zone nearby, there are ways you can reduce it, providing your employees and visitors with a clean and healthy environment.
You should vacuum your office daily. We do recommend vacuuming more if you experience high foot traffic. Carpets trap dust, which can release into the air every time someone walks on the carpet. The dust sits on surfaces. While regular carpet cleaning helps to eliminate dust in the office, it is also necessary to prolong the lifespan of your carpets, saving you money in the long run.
Your office furnishings should be treated with the same respect of your carpeting. Furniture can trap dust, releasing the dust when someone uses the furniture. We recommend vacuuming upholstery furnishing, and wiping down hard surfaces regularly, reducing dust.
Dust can settle anywhere, which is why it's important that your cleaning team focuses on high touch surfaces, such as door knobs, lift buttons, and light switches. These areas should be cleaned and sanitised numerous times a day, preventing the spread of dust through the office.
If the exterior dust from a construction zone is making its way into your office space, then you will want to protect you electronic equipment, including your computers, printers, and other expensive equipment. Equipment should be thoroughly cleaned, using the right cleaning products and a microfibre cloth, helping to reduce the risk of dust causing irreparable damage.
Chances are being within close proximity of a construction zone, your windows are dusty and dirty, which makes a bad impression on visitors, and can reduce productivity of employees. We need natural light to keep us awake and motivated. Dirty windows don't allow natural light to flow, and can cause expensive damage if not cleaned regularly.
Touching dust and it can become airborne, which is why we always encourage our clients to clean from the top to the bottom. This way any dirt or dust from higher surfaces will land on the floor, ready to be cleaned when you reach the lowest point.
Unfortunately, when your office is struggling with exterior dust caused by a nearby construction zone, it's really difficult to keep it completely dust-free. Installing an air purifier is a quick way to improve indoor air quality, while reducing dust in closed spaces.
