Keeping Your Facility Clean in the Winter
Tuesday February 21, 2017
During the Colorado winter months, it can be especially difficult to keep your commercial facility clean. With the constant rollercoaster of weather changes, it can be easy to put off cleaning maintenance items until the spring. However, it is important to not do this. A clean facility has the ability to boost the health and moral of your employees and increase sales. A little extra effort will go a long way for you and your business. We have put together a few tips to help you prioritize your maintenance schedule this winter and keep your business running efficiently.
- Disinfecting
During the winter, the flu and other viruses run rampant! It is important to schedule regular cleaning services to wipe down countertops, desks, phones, door handles, etc. This will help you minimize the number of germs your employees are exposed to and significantly decrease staff absences. The floors should not be overlooked either. With winter comes snow storms, and with snow storms comes lots of dirty footprints throughout your facility. Sweep, mop, and vacuum you’re your floors weekly and schedule 1-2 carpet cleanings throughout the season. You will decrease the amount of dust and germs in your facility, again keeping your staff healthy and your business looking and smelling great!

- Windows
It can be really easy to skip the window cleaning during the winter. However, keeping your windows clean can have a huge impact on your business in ways you may not expect. Clean windows allow natural light into your space, boosting employee moral as well as letting in residual heat from the sun. This can help keep your heating expenses down and your staff feeling energized and positive. Your facility will look bright and clean and help maintain your professional reputation you have worked so hard to build.
- Air Quality
During the winter, the windows tend to stay closed. This diminishes your air circulation and lowers the air quality within your facility. A very easy way to fix this issue is to bring in live plants. Plants release oxygen into the air and replenish your great air quality. Choose low light plants like Ficus or Golden Pothos to spread throughout your facility. Not only will your air be cleaner, but you will also add a little life to your space. In addition to potted plants, you can install an air cleaner to ensure air quality.
