Don’t Forget to Spring-Clean Your Business

4/30/2024 (Permalink)

When most people think of spring cleaning their minds go right to their own homes but businesses deserve an annual freshening up too! Spring cleaning doesn’t just apply to houses anymore, business owners can take advantage of this time of year to get organized and deep clean their home away from home. Customer-facing areas need more cleaning attention than you think. Behind-the-scene areas may seem fine but need regular cleaning and maintenance too. Consider the following tasks to elevate your spring cleaning routine:

Rearrange the furniture:

Transform your space effortlessly by reorganizing furniture. Consider removing bulky pieces to create more room and experiment with different layouts until you find the perfect setup. Utilize natural light by strategically placing mirrors or reflective decor to enhance brightness. If your space is an office or cubicle try moving your monitors around to give your space a fresh look.

Get a Duct Cleaning: 

Air ducts need routine maintenance. Commercial air duct cleaning should be added to your spring cleaning list. Clean air ducts will safeguard indoor air quality and mitigate the risk of mold and allergen exposure. Regularly maintained air ducts will help to extend your HVAC lifespan, yielding long-term cost savings.

Get Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned:

 Vacuuming your carpets will give them a clean look but if you want the deep dirt and grim gone you’ll need a professional. SERVPRO of Columbia, Montour, & Sullivan Counties has cutting-edge cleaning machinery and effective products that will give your carpets and rugs the deep clean they need.

Disinfect the Kitchen:

A company’s kitchen is a space that is often used frequently but rarely cleaned. Take the time to scrub the sink and clean the drain. Pouring one cup of baking soda followed by 1 cup of vinegar into the drain is an easy way to clean a drain. After 30 minutes don’t forget to pour plenty of boiling water down the drain to flush the mixture out. The fridge is another part of the kitchen that can quickly become out of hand. Address refrigerator clutter by removing all items and facilitating a coworker claim process, disposing of unclaimed items promptly. Clearing all of the food out of the fridge and freezer also allows for wiping down the surfaces. A simple hot soapy water concoction should do the trick!

Power Washing:

Enhance curb appeal and impress potential clientele by rejuvenating outdoor spaces with power washing. Consider renting a pressure washer to give your outdoor stained areas a makeover. A 1,000 square foot area can take anywhere from 1-3 hours to pressure wash so if you don’t have that kind of time on your hands remember you can always call in a professional!

Individual Tidying:

This is without a doubt the simplest task on this list but it can make the biggest difference in achieving a clean look. Encourage your team to go through and declutter everything on or in their desks. Consider making a communal pile for documents that need to be shredded. If you’re feeling ambitious and want to do a deep cleanout you can utilize SERVPRO Team McCabe’s dumpster rental service.

These suggestions are just the beginning— embrace the opportunity to elevate your workspace, cultivating a tidy and inviting environment that nurtures success.
