Maintaining office cleanliness during cold and flu seasons is paramount. Viruses, like the flu, can linger on surfaces for extended periods. Common areas such as doorknobs, shared equipment, and break rooms can become breeding grounds for germs. Regular cleaning, especially of these frequently-touched surfaces, is a proactive approach to reduce the risk of infections spreading.
The Role of Deep Cleaning
Routine cleaning is a given, but during cold and flu season, the benefits of deep cleaning sessions cannot be overlooked. Deep cleaning ensures a thorough sanitization process, covering even the often-overlooked nooks and crannies.
You may also want to talk to your commercial cleaning or janitorial partner about optimizing cleaning routines at your office.
We recommend adjusting the frequency in these key areas:
-
High-Traffic Areas: Entrances, lobbies, and corridors.
-
Equipment: Devices like computers, TV's, printers and phones
-
Kitchens or Break Rooms: Ensuring cleanliness after every mealtime is vital
- Vents: Don't just clean the surfaces that people touch during cold and flu season. Check the air vents and their filters, and clean those too. Keeping vents clean can help rid them of dust and dirt, and this can reduce respiratory irritation and allergies that lead to colds and infections.
Maintaining a clean and hygienic office environment is crucial for the well-being and productivity of employees.
Good hygiene practice at the workplace goes a long way in building a good reputation for any business. Every part of the organization, including the washroom, flooring and windows, and kitchen areas must be cleaned, at regular intervals to stop the spread of harmful germs and bacteria. Maintaining a good workplace environment is crucial both from a regulatory and a hygiene and safety point of view.
