Everyone makes mistakes, even businesses. It’s okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and try to do better. If your business continues to make mistakes it will cost time and money. Busy Bee Cleaning & Janitorial Service outlines some common cleaning mistakes you can avoid by hiring professional janitorial services.
What is the Most Common Mistake of People when Using Cleaners?
1. If it looks and smells clean, it’s clean. It seems like a good way to judge how clean an office is. The only problem is that there still might be a huge number of germs, bacteria, pollen, viruses, pollutants and other disease. These agents can thrive on surfaces that appear to be clean. Businesses need to be sanitized to remove the majority of these. This can be done by using a disinfectant. Neglecting to disinfect properly, especially during flu season is not a good thing. When an office is sanitized, there will be fewer sick days and greater productivity.
2. Not disposing of garbage regularly. This can be a common office cleaning mistake. Every day, employees leave food scraps, drinks and other forms of trash in their garbage cans. Even if the amount of trash is small, it’s important to throw it away every night. Garbage that is left to accumulate for a few days will become clutter and can attract pests that will breed in your office.
3. Using the wrong cleaners. There are many floor surfaces in an office and regardless of what those surfaces are, they need to be cleaned correctly and with the right products. Neutral cleaners are usually all that’s needed, and you should only use neutral cleaners when you’re unsure of the material that make up you floor. Stone floors should be cleaned with a rayon mop, hot water and diluted neutral floor cleaner. This can be followed with a microfiber dust cloth. Damage can be prevented when the correct products are used, and you’ll have a shiny clean office that your employees and customers will appreciate.
4. Cleaning surfaces too aggressively. It may seem like this would be a good thing to do, but let’s take grout, for example. Grout will become dingy and grimy over time and won’t look as good as it once did. The number of times you’ll have to clean grout will depend on the foot traffic it receives. When floors are maintained, you won’t have to clean the grout separately. It’s all about being efficient and productive. Spend time cleaning correctly to avoid damage you will have to pay to repair in the future.
5. Not maintaining cleaning equipment. Cleaning equipment can’t be neglected. If it is, it can’t do its job. A mop used on a small job may not need much rinsing, but for larger jobs, it will need to be rinsed if you want good results and to maintain the mop. Create accountably so there will be motivation because the longer equipment lasts, the more money you’ll save.
