A new year deserves a fresh start, and that includes being able to return to work in an environment that is clean and safe after a well-deserved break. With a worldwide pandemic, business owners want to ensure their business maintains a clean and healthy image to employees and customers now more than ever.
If you want to maintain a clean and healthy commercial building, here’s how you can get started.
Why a Clean and Safe Commercial Property is a Good Investment
A commercial property that looks unclean and appears to be in a state of disrepair will struggle to attract clients. Most commercial enterprises rely on their appearances to attract paying customers and remain competitive.
Commercial properties that are clean and tidy will create an excellent impression and be a more attractive location for doing business.
If you need your commercial property to create a return on your investment, keeping it clean is an affordable strategy you can employ to ensure a steady stream of customers.
Keeping Your Commercial Property Clean and Safe
It’s not difficult or expensive to maintain a commercial property in good order with regular maintenance and cleaning. However, let things go, and you will eventually have a significant and costly job on your hands. Here are a few steps you can take to ensure your commercial property is always presentable.
Regularly Clean the Restrooms
Everyone appreciates a clean, fresh bathroom, but a dirty one is a good indicator of a low-quality establishment. Unfortunately, restrooms can get messy fast, so the trick is to clean them once or twice daily.
If possible, perform regular checks of the bathroom throughout the day. This way, the restroom, and toilet won’t degrade into an unhealthy environment for the people who need to use them.
Maintain Carpet and Floors
Fresh smelling clean carpets and shiny polished floors help enhance your brand image and employee’s health. It’s true! Unfortunately, the floors are the most overlooked area compared to other parts of the room. Having regular carpet and floor cleaning will also prevent the build-up of bacteria, mold, pollen, and allergens making a healthier office. With cleaner floors, you’ll actually be helping them last longer too!
When selecting a cleaning company to maintain your floors, opt for non-toxic cleaning supplies without artificial scents. Green cleaning products are not harmful to your indoor airspace or the environment and they smell fresh like the air after a rainfall.
Manage Trash
Trash needs to be handled daily to ensure your property does not become home to an infestation of cockroaches, mice, and the predators that feed on them. Ensure you have an adequate number of bins around the property, so there is no excuse for littering.
Not only will you need to ensure there are plenty of bins available, but you will also need to keep a ready supply of trash bags on hand. Ensure the bins are emptied regularly, especially where food scraps are concerned.
Certain types of discarded foods will go rancid when thrown in the bin, and it won’t be long before there’s a foul odor emanating from them. People will notice even a slight smell, and the customer experience will not be as favorable.
Keep the Parking Lot Tidy
Besides marketing material, the parking lot is often the first thing people will notice about your business. A clean and tidy parking lot will always create a great first impression.
If you have trees dropping leaves, or the property frequently has rubbish blowing in from the surrounding area, then a regular sweep of the car park is mandatory.
Outsource your Janitorial Needs
When you are busy running your establishment, finding the time to keep the place clean, tidy, and safe can be an impossible challenge. Plus, you and your staff are better suited to taking care of your customers’ needs. You would rather not have to worry about how full the bins are, whether the bathroom is clean, maintaining your floors, or how much debris has built up in the parking lot.
