3 Contagious Areas Inside Office & Why You Need Deep Cleaning

The emergence of the novel coronavirus has impacted our way of living and working in unprecedented ways. Life is no longer the same as it used to be. And now, with the discovery of the new mutated COVID-19 strain, it has sparked concern and fears due to its mass spread. While some organizations are opting for remote work, many companies require employees to work from office and operate the business. In such circumstances, deep cleaning your workspace regularly is pivotal for maintaining a healthy and hygienic working environment. By hiring professional office cleaning services in London, keeping a check on the spread of infections and viruses becomes easier and more effective. The reason? The professionals are equipped with premium quality cleaning supply, expertise and extensive knowledge on how to create a safer workspace during COVID-19.

Engaging professional office cleaning services implies thorough cleaning of the entire office building. Hard to reach places or frequently touched surfaces, the professionals are trained to clean the dirtiest areas in your office. In this blog, we’ll point out all the areas in your facility that require deep cleaning only.

Places Inside Your Office That Require Deep Cleaning

1.      Kitchen: Satiating the hunger pangs all day long wouldn’t have been possible if there was no kitchen in the office. And when it comes to the kitchen, you can’t overlook the awful food spills and stains. Worse still, the kitchen being a shared space, your employees will do little to keep it clean and tidy as they would do for their desks. As nobody is specifically responsible for cleaning the kitchen (not even the chef), it is a wise decision to engage professional office cleaning services to deep clean the dirtiest kitchen spots every month. The professionals will deep clean:

·       Cupboards: Inside or outside, back or front, the cupboards are one of the dirtiest kitchen areas for a reason. While dirt and dust will inevitably find their way inside the cupboard, the outer surfaces often have stubborn spots and stains. Deep cleaning will address these stubborn stains effectively and create more hygienic storage space.

·       Fridge: The fridge is the next messiest place inside the kitchen. It has left-behind food items, strange smell and rigid stains, both inside and outside. Deep cleaning ensures the fridge is in the cleanest and spotless condition. You don’t want your employees to fall sick after consuming contaminated food, do you?

·       Grout:  The importance of keeping the kitchen grout clean is undermined in many offices. Leaving it dirty speeds up degradation, requiring a replacement soon enough. Want to see the kitchen grout clean and sparkling always? Hiring expert office cleaning services in London will keep the grout well-maintained.

2.     Bathroom: The bathroom is the most unhygienic area that we come across every day.  The office bathroom is a public space, the breeding ground for disease-causing pathogens like streptococcus, staphylococcus, E.coli and norovirus that breed on toilet seats, floors, doorknobs, window panes and more. Offices with dirty bathrooms have higher cases of UTI, gut and skin infections. Regular deep cleaning is highly recommended to keep all diseases and infections at bay. Office cleaning professionals will clean:

·       Walls behind sinks, basins and toilets

·       Doorknobs, doors, floors and walls of stalls

·       The base of toilets, beneath the toilet bowl rim

·       Personal hygiene and garbage bins

·       Taps, shower, holders and faucets

3.     Walls & flooring: Walls and floors need much attention than necessary. Even if the floors are cleaned regularly, how often do you clean the walls? Dirty walls bestow the workplace with a messier look while inviting a range of health issues. Here’s where you need deep cleaning:

·       Walls of every room: Walls don’t get dirty as quickly as the floors but can easily become stained and discoloured if cleaning is ignored. Professional office cleaning services include wall cleaning that addresses dirt, stains and grime effectively. The professionals will deep clean the walls of every room, including the wall behind the furniture, appliances, desks and of course, the bathroom walls too.

·       Curtains: The interesting part about dirty curtains is that dirt and dust, after having collected for a long time, force the curtains to change their original colour and appearance. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Yes! Deep cleaning the curtains every month will bestow a polished look to the workspace while keeping the curtains in good condition.

·       Floor: Whether your office floor is of hardwood, ceramic tiles, carpet or marble, floor maintenance is a daunting task which is best done by the pros. Shoes bring in all sorts of filth from the outside and if not cleaned properly, can get embedded on the floor. Besides regular sweeping and mopping, there’s no better way than monthly deep cleaning to address the difficult-to-remove stains, grime and dirt while maintaining the floor material at the same time.

How often should you deep clean your office?

To maintain a clean look every day, it’s crucial to keep up with your regular dusting, sweeping and vacuuming routine at your workplace. However, your office requires thorough cleaning from time to time to keep the less accessible areas in an immaculate condition.

As a general rule of thumb, booking office cleaning services every six months helps to ensure the maximum level of cleanliness. Due to the ongoing pandemic, it’s advisable to hire professional office cleaning services once a month to maintain hygiene standards, keep the spread of infection in check and provide a healthier working environment to your employees, visitors and clients.
