Deep Cleaning Your Business and Fitting it into Your Cleaning Regimen

First Impressions are Important, Aren’t They?

The way a commercial property looks to its customers and visitors can speak volumes. Failing to deep clean your business can be noticeable to current and potential customers. Utilizing a professional deep cleaning company to perform this work will guarantee the work is done properly and professionally. It will also ensure that the work will be done within the business’ scope.

There are multiple benefits to having professionals deep clean your business. The most obvious is to ensure your employees and customers are welcomed into a healthy environment. This means disinfected surfaces, dust-free corners and crevices and clean carpeting and fabrics.

Another benefit is – pardon the pun – starting with a clean slate. If you are planning to contract with a new janitorial service, we recommend starting with a deep clean. This will help launch the partnership between your business and the janitorial service with a standard of cleanliness. The janitorial service can then maintain that level ensuring your standards are met.

Deep Cleaning – What is it and Why is it so Important?

Many businesses hire janitorial services to perform daily or weekly cleaning services depending on their needs. To promote a neat, clean and hygienic work environment, we recommended conducting a deep clean at least every six months for commercial settings. In the wake of COVID-19, we also recommend disinfecting your facility regularly. In this environment, it is excruciatingly important that businesses take extra caution to ensure the health and safety of their employees and customers.

When professionals conduct a deep clean, they will remove rooted dirt and grime from a commercial setting. At Cleantec, our team utilizes environmentally friendly, high pressure and steam techniques to address buildup. In addition to floors and tops, a deep cleaning is performed on all surfaces including walls, windows, lights and elevators.

Your cleaning professional should clean everything from top to bottom, wall to wall and corner to corner. This includes:

• Pulling out furniture to clean behind it

• Wiping down and disinfecting chairs

• Cleaning and disinfecting kitchenettes and bathrooms

• Cleaning out window railings

• Deep cleaning flooring in accordance with its texture

Your cleaning professionals should perform most of these deep cleaning tasks throughout the year. Other aspects, such as deep cleaning carpets and flooring, should be performed on a regular basis such as quarterly, semi-annually or annually, depending on your facility’s volume of traffic. All of these specifications should be discussed when negotiating your contract, creating a tailored cleaning regimen for your company.

Tools Used for Deep Cleaning

Janitorial staff uses a majority of deep cleaning tools on a regular basis. These include (obviously) mops, mop buckets, dusting supplies, cleaning supplies, etc. However, deep cleaning also requires some professional-grade tools for surfaces such as flooring. For example, vinyl composition tile floors require stripping using a stripping agent and then waxing using a swing arm buffer and waxing kit. Professional carpet cleaning requires a hot water extraction machine. Ceramic tiles are scrubbed using a swing arm and a brush, as well as chemicals to make the grout white.

Make sure your janitorial professionals discuss deep cleaning with you and that it fits your business’ scope of cleaning. If not, you may consider adding this service or giving another janitorial services company a call to discuss it.
