While many people are now vaccinated, the COVID-19 virus is still a threat to people's health. Because of this, it's important to maintain a high level of cleanliness in your commercial property. Professional office cleaners are a great resource to ensure you and your staff remain healthy. According to CleanLink, an online resource for cleaning professionals and sanitary suppliers, office buildings have the largest amount of commercial cleaning contracts, accounting for over 30% of total contracts. Here are a few ways a professional cleaning company can protect your workspace from Covid-19.

High-Level Equipment

When you have a professional cleaner for your office, they'll arrive with the best equipment available to get the job done right. Their specialized equipment allows them to clean surfaces to the highest level. Whether they are dealing with upholstery, carpets, or grout, they know the right equipment to use. Since they come with their own equipment, you don't have to worry about purchasing such items and keeping them in your office. Work with a local cleaning company that's locally and family-owned to guarantee you're working with a team who will make the work a top priority.

Disinfecting Practices

According to the World Health Organization, desks and tables need to be cleaned with disinfectant regularly since surface contamination by employees and customers is one of the main ways COVID-19 spreads to others. Your office cleaners only use approved disinfectants that kill at least 99.9% of germs and viruses. Their disinfecting practices also help protect your office equipment and floors. So, whether your office has hardwood floors, wooden or upholstered furniture, or stone or vinyl surfaces, you can rest assured your office cleaners know how to properly clean those surfaces without damaging them. Be sure to hire a company with decades of experience to ensure that they understand the proper cleaning methods for the surfaces in your office.

Thorough Cleaning Services

When it comes to thorough cleaning at work, there are some surfaces people may easily forget about. For example, there are items that people touch a great deal, such as remote controls, light switches, phones, keyboards, faucets, and door handles. A professional office cleaning company understands that those are some of the most high-traffic used parts of an office and can hold plenty of germs if they're not properly cleaned. If you're looking to work with a cleaning company you can rely on, be sure to hire one that uses no subcontracting labor. This will mean that they will have a staff of high-trained employees who will understand which areas of your commercial property require additional attention.

Carpet Cleaning Services

Does your office space have carpet or area rugs that haven't been cleaned in a considerable amount of time? If so, your office can easily have allergens, dust mites, and viruses buried in those carpet and rug fabrics. With each step, you could be releasing a variety of contaminants into the air that can have a significant effect on anyone inside your commercial property. Luckily, a professional cleaning staff knows how to deep clean or shampoo those carpets and rugs. By hiring the right professionals to keep those areas cleaned beyond vacuuming, you help to prevent problems and germs from spreading.

Flexibility

Another benefit of using professional cleaners is their flexibility when creating cleaning schedules for your company. Depending on the size of your company and staff, you may need daily or biweekly cleaning may suffice. The amount of cleaning you need depends on the level of exposure going on in your workplace. The right cleaner will work with your schedule and determine the cleaning frequency needed to ensure your commercial space has the sanitation and protection against COVID-19 it needs.
