December 14, 2018 | All Source | Commercial Cleaning

Last month we covered ways to prepare your business for the holidays. But, there are a few other areas that must be given special care during the cold and icy winter months. As the trusted name in commercial cleaning in St Louis Park we can help keep your business safe and clean all season long. Here are some of the important areas we will tackle both inside and out:

The Heating System

It is important to make sure all of your HVAC systems are routinely inspected and maintained, especially in winter. Make sure the filters are changed at least monthly, if not more often. This is an often-overlooked business cleaning chore, but it’s essential to the health, warmth and well-being of the building’s occupants and visitors.

Desks & Surfaces

It’s cold and flu season so be sure that surfaces like door handles are disinfected on a regular basis. This can help keep the flu and other viruses from spreading and making everyone sick. It is also important to use a cleaner that will not only clean but will also disinfect. The experts at All Source know all of the essential areas to hit where germs abound and have all of the right tools to help disinfect your office to help limit the spread of these germs.

Entryway & Floors

The entrance to your building is the bridge between the outdoors of ice and snow and the comfort of the indoors. It also sees a lot of foot traffic that drags in salt, water and mud. This area should be swept and mopped regularly to keep is from getting dirty, slippery and hazardous.

It is also a good idea to make sure your building’s doors stay closed all year round, but this is especially true during the winter. Not only will it help keep your building warm and keep your heating costs down, but it also helps keep the doorway free of leaves and other debris.

Keeping your floors cleaned means you should have them vacuumed or mopped or swept at least once a day, if not more often, depending on how much foot traffic your building sees and how much snow and ice your area has had. This can be a time-consuming business cleaning task but it’s an important one and All Source can help!

Walkways & Parking Lot

Now this is an important one. It is essential to make sure your building’s sidewalks, walkways and parking lot stays clear of snow and ice. Not only is this a safety hazard for anyone who is entering or exiting your building, keeping your parking lot clean can also help keep your office clean and make your business cleaning just a bit easier.
