Fall means back to school for the kids and back to work after summer vacation for adults, too. And while we usually think of the term, “spring cleaning,” fall is an equally preferred season for workplace and office cleaning because many organizational chores and cleaning tasks were put off during the summer months.

Although spring is commonly considered the best time to do annual cleaning, even in the workplace, summer cleaning makes more sense—when workloads are generally lighter, and many employees are away from the office on vacation.

When it comes to cleaning and maintaining your commercial property, the focus may often be more on your facility’s interior. However, the exterior of your building and surrounding property requires equal attention, especially because it is often the first impression made on visitors and customers.

In a busy workplace, office kitchen cleaning can often be overlooked or difficult to ‘keep on top of’. Employees focused on their work schedules are generally too rushed during breaks to take the time to clean up properly. The kitchen area can quickly become an unsanitary and unattractive environment with dirty dishes, food debris and overflowing trash. The office kitchen can sometimes become more unhygienic than the washroom.

When your building switches its HVAC system from heating to cooling this spring, it’s also a perfect time to schedule air vent cleaning to ensure healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) for this season and the summer, fall and winter months ahead.

There is growing awareness within all industries today that conventional attitudes and logistics around protecting and preserving the ecological integrity of the planet must change to address escalating environmental crises. Sustainable or ‘green’ cleaning is now the top trend in residential and commercial cleaning, as customer awareness of these issues accelerates the demand for sustainable and environmentally safe products and services.

Spring is a time of renewal and when we get to finally say goodbye to winter and slush season. It’s also the perfect time to give your office a refreshing spring clean to improve appearances, boost morale and maintain the health and safety of your workplace.
