London is a bustling city where offices experience a constant flow of people, from employees to clients and couriers to contractors. High footfall areas, such as your reception, meeting rooms, lifts, corridors, kitchens, and washrooms are vulnerable to bacteria, dirt, and general wear and tear. Maintaining hygiene in these spaces is essential to your employee well being, reducing illness and absenteeism, while ensuring everyone entering your office has a positive experience.
How do London offices maintain hygiene in high footfall areas? Here are some tips from our professional team at Sloane Cleaning Services:
This is the first step to maintaining hygiene in your high footfall areas of your London office. These areas require regular cleaning with a structured approach and should include:
Bacteria and viruses can survive on surfaces for hours, if not days. In busy London offices, the most important high touch surfaces include:
When these surfaces are regularly sanitised throughout the day, you reduce the risk of illness, thereby reducing employee absenteeism.
When your London office has many people passing through the doors daily, general cleaners are not strong enough, which is why you need to invest in industry-grade cleaning products. This includes antibacterial disinfectants, high quality sanitisers, eco-friendly solutions, along with fast drying options to reduce disruption.
London's air carries pollutants into the office environment, mixing with allergens and dust. Maintaining good indoor air quality is essential to office hygiene. In order to improve your indoor air quality, we recommend:
Since the pandemic, employees are more conscious when it comes to personal hygiene. Introducing accessible hand sanitisation stations throughout the office helps to improve hygiene in high footfall areas. Easy access areas can include entry points, meeting room entrances, lift lobbies, kitchen and break rooms, along with close proximity to shared equipment.
Ensure your reception area is always neat and organised. This doesn't only create a good first impression, but clutter collects dusts, making effective cleaning more difficult. This can be creating a minimalist reception with regular wiping of the desk, while cleaning and maintaining the seating area. It's also important to focus on daily vacuuming and/or mopping.
