Cleanliness plays an immense role in keeping you healthy and safe. You change your bedsheet, mop the floors, wipe the dust off the furniture everyday. All for what? To ensure you and your family live a healthy life. Similarly, cleanliness at your business works as a tremendous boost factor. In fact, a spic and span office has been scientifically proven to improve employee productivity. Regularly cleaning keeps your workplace organized, hygienic and imparts an aesthetically appealing look.

Rather, doing a DIY cleaning can save a lot of money.

Performing a DIY office cleaning is fine as long as you have the manpower and expertise. But even if you have these two, there’s a greater risk of executing it all wrong and risking the health of your employees, clients and visitors.

The following are the common mistakes of DIY office cleaning. And yes, all these can be easily trounced by hiring expert commercial cleaning services.

Office Cleaning Mistakes You Can Avoid With Professional Commercial Cleaners

1.      Using wrong cleaning tools: That’s more likely to happen if your office is being cleaned by inexperienced and amateur professionals. We have found offices that perform self-cleaning, use the wrong tools and products for a particular type of material. While stains have to be scrubbed off the surface, it must be done properly to make sure the surface is not left with scratches and marks. Also, using the wrong chemicals to clean upholstery and carpets can leave them damaged, requiring a replacement.

Professional commercial cleaners are adequately trained and have the right knowledge of cleaning products and tools. They know which cleaning chemicals and equipment are best suited for carpets, floors and furniture.

2.     Carpet cleaning: When you accidentally spill ink or coffee on the carpet, your first instinct is to scrub it off. You might use any tool or cleanser to somehow remove the stains. But the result? Stains remain as they were and on the contrary, the carpet fibers are twisted and damaged. If the carpet material is such that it returns to its original form, then that’s great! If not, it’s time to welcome a new, fluffy floor rug.
Professional commercial cleaners in London employ a wide variety of carpet stain removal treatments. This includes encapsulation, hot water extraction, dry cleaning, shampooing and bonnet cleaning. All the methods require specialized tools and cleaning products which are difficult to obtain if you’re cleaning the carpet yourself.  

3.     Cleaning visible areas only: Also known as spot cleaning, it means to clean only the visible areas and not beyond. Cleaning your workspace is a time-consuming task and when you’re short of time, cleaning of the ‘out of sight’ areas goes ignored, right? Apparently, your office may look spic and span but bacteria, allergens and viruses will be accumulating in hidden corners, beneath and behind furniture, computer monitors, keyboards and so on. Dust and dirt accumulating in the infrequently cleaned areas can eventually lead to health risks.

When you’re pressed for time, it’s always better to engage experienced and trusted commercial cleaners. The professionals will clean every nook and corner of your office, from the frequently touched areas to the hardly used places, without you telling them.

4.    Not disinfecting: People often equate ‘disinfecting’ with cleaning. But actually, both are two different stories. Disinfecting or sanitization is more than just cleaning with soap and water. It’s a procedure to remove germs and viruses from the frequently used surfaces like tabletops, furniture, computer screen, keyboard, mouse, elevators, buttons, doorknobs and more. All these surfaces are touch by various people throughout the day. Thus, these surfaces must be regularly wiped with alcohol-based chemicals to eliminate disease-causing pathogens. Professional commercial cleaners are equipped with the best disinfectant tools and chemicals to check the spread of harmful viruses and create a healthy work environment. 

5.     Dry dusting: You will find dust particles on the chair, desk, computer, in between the window blinds and other surfaces. Removing dust from all these places with a soft cloth can be effective. However, for some places, dry dusting isn’t as effective as it should be. Hence, those areas must be cleaned with a damp cloth. For places like behind and underneath furniture and office equipment, where there can be several thick layers of dust, wet cleaning will always produce better results than dry dusting and that’s precisely what commercial cleaners do.
