Winter brings a lot of unique challenges to cleanliness and health, but there's no place as deeply affected as the office. It's not just about so many people sharing a small space--it's the snow that gets tracked inside, the recirculated air, and the winter germs that everyone is bringing to work with them.
The work fridge is infamous for being a food battleground. Whether it's unmarked and unclaimed meals, spilled food that no one wants to clean up, or tiny bags of condiments; the work fridge is always full of something or other. Unfortunately, an untidy fridge is a problem for more than just the office clean-freak; plenty of nasty things- like mold- can grow in a fridge that isn't properly maintained. If the first thing that comes to mind when you open that door is health hazard, then it might be time to get some expert advice on cleaning and maintaining the work fridge. After all, you get out of a fridge what you put into it--a metaphor that works on multiple levels.
Cleaning is sort of like a battle. We fight on many fronts; we wage war on hundreds of different kinds of enemies; we have sprays, wipes, sponges, mops, brooms, and thousands of other cleaning supplies that act as our weapons arsenal. Winning the battle means beating the germs and casting an approving eye over a now-sparkling workspace, bathroom, or break room. Losing the battle means allowing germs to take hold of the places we frequent, and that can lead to the spread of disease, a drop in morale, and an overall uncomfortable workplace. It's important to win the cleaning battle, but how you'll win depends on what you're trying to clean, and certain things require more care than others--like the sink.
Spring has sprung! It's time to catch up on seasonal cleaning!
This month, we’ve talked a little about the emerging trends within the cleaning industry and how exactly one could go about being more environmentally conscious when cleaning their office or home. The next topic to discuss should then logically be to talk about some of the benefits that can be realized when using green supplies and habits when cleaning. Being a Boise commercial cleaning company has given us some very special insight to this growing trend.
