With Christmas just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to consider options for your business’ annual clean. You might have daily, weekly and even monthly cleaning organised for your business space, but you mightn’t realise that these are just maintenance cleans and you’ll still need a commercial cleaning service annually.
An annual clean, particularly over the Christmas period, ensures that your business is cleaned spotless from top to bottom and side to side in preparation for starting the new year fresh and in style. Even with a regular cleaning service, a number of unhygienic things happen throughout the year in your business space.
Throughout The Year
- Your carpets will have grease and soiling embedded deep, beyond what a regular vacuum could pick up
- There are likely some stubborn stains on the flooring and carpets
- If you have vinyl flooring, it’s likely that the high traffic areas are looking dull and have lost their glossy finish
- Cobwebs build up on walls, particularly along edges and spaces close to the ceiling
- Dust, dirt and crumbs have been pushed deep into carpets under tables and into keyboards by accident
- Bacteria builds up in bathrooms, kitchens and on surfaces, particularly door handles
- Tiled areas have grime build-up and are not looking as bright
- Windows have greasy film and dirt built up which can hinder the view and restrict light access
- Kitchen areas and bathrooms could have build up of dirt, grease or grime and would be in need of a deep clean
Not only can these things make your business look less professional, uncleanliness can impact the health and happiness of staff working in such an environment too. This is the reason why it’s so important to have a deep clean annually – to benefit hygiene, presence, health, happiness and business success.
An annual clean is very thorough and will usually require the premises to be vacant for 2-3 days while products dry and the smell of chemicals subsides. An annual clean can include a number of procedures, some of which are listed below.
