Spring has sprung! The flowers are blooming and the sun is shining. Now that the snow is gone, it’s time to do some serious spring cleaning, both inside and outside.
When it comes to a commercial facility, spring cleaning refers to the cleaning and maintenance of those spots around your building that need special attention after the winter months – months where visitors and employees are bringing snow and salt into the facility.
We clean some of these areas during the winter months as part of our regular commercial cleaning services, but springtime gives us a chance to really get the dirt out, without the worry that someone will track snow, ice, and salt back in the next day.
In the spring, we focus our commercial cleaning efforts on a number of areas:
1.Carpet Cleaning
Carpets take a beating in winter. Snow, ice, salt, mud, and debris walk in on every shoe or boot that sets foot in your building. We make thorough cleaning, especially of high-traffic areas, a priority because it rejuvenates your carpet’s appearance, adds freshness to the air, and helps extend the life of your carpet. We address tough stains, too, to prevent them from turning into repair or replacement issues. This cleaning includes a thorough cleaning of your entrance mats, as well.
2.Floor Cleaning
Our regular commercial cleaning takes care of the flooring people see, but spring cleaning is the time to “get moving.” That means moving desks, file cabinets, large conference tables, etc. to get every last bit of dirt and dust. These are the spots where dust bunnies and grime hideout, which can contribute to allergic reactions, bacteria, and germs.
3.Window Cleaning
Winter snow and sleet leave a filmy residue on windows, and this is the time to clear things up and let the sunshine in! Low windows that may be in contact with salt used to melt snow will get special attention. We’ll also clean the windows on the inside. This is also a good time to deep clean your window blinds if you have them.
4.High Dusting
Dusting those hard-to-reach areas, such as high beams, the tops of light fixtures, ceiling fans, air vents, and tops of doors, can improve the performance of your HVAC system and reduce allergens that can cause illness.
5.Upholstery Cleaning
Spring upholstery cleaning rounds out your spring cleaning plan. Removing dust, dirt, stains, and grease from upholstery improves furniture’s appearance and extends its life.
6.Pressure Washing
Sidewalks, ramps, and entryways never look worse than after the last snow of the season has melted. A buildup of salt and sand, along with normal dirt and debris and staining, detract from a professional appearance and leave a less-than-positive first impression. We can pressure wash your sidewalks, walkways, and outside walls for a “new and improved” spring image!
