| | Commercial Cleaning

Beyond just appearance, however, here are 5 reasons to schedule your commercial window cleaning!

1. Extended Life Span of Windows

Over time, the build up of dirt and debris on your windows can begin to etch itself into the glass, causing scratches and permanent damage to the windows themselves. These scratches can decrease the longevity of your windows, creating risk of chipping and cracking that regularly cleaned windows do not experience.

By keeping your windows clean, you can help keep them protected for their expected life span, allowing you to save money by not replacing the windows prematurely.

2. Reduced Allergens

Have you noticed a layer of dirt or dust on your windowsills? Allergens will begin to accumulate on or near your windows over time, leaving employees susceptible to illness or severe allergies in the workplace. This can cause them to experience negative symptoms, such as itchy eyes, headaches, fatigue, sneezing, coughing and more – all of which can decrease productivity as employees become distracted by feeling unwell.

Routine, professional commercial window cleaning can prevent the buildup of allergens, allowing your employees to work without risk of severe, preventable allergies.

3. Increased Productivity

Studies have shown that natural light helps improve the mood and productivity levels of employees. Dirty windows block the entrance of natural light into the office, reducing productivity and even in some cases increasing eye strain. Clean windows offer employees extra sunlight and great views, helping them feel more focused and increasing productivity!

4. Improved Safety

When you choose to hire a trusted company for commercial window cleaning, you also remove the risks to your employees that are associated with window cleaning. Especially for offices with more than one story, window cleaning can be a significant risk to those who are not trained and outfitted with the proper gear.

Professional commercial window cleaning is done by cleaners who are trained and skilled in this task, removing the potential risk of window cleaning becoming a liability.

5 Benefits of Professional Commercial Cleaning Services

| | Commercial Cleaning

Cleaning standards have continued to remain improved in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many businesses are facing extra steps required to ensure cleanliness and sanitation to protect their employees and customers. However, all of this extra time cleaning can take away from the rest of the work at hand. That’s why, here at All Source, we offer commercial cleaning services to Brooklyn Park and the surrounding Twin Cities area!

Our commercial cleaning services come with a range of benefits to both you, your employees and your customers.

1. Improved Health and Safety

Especially after the pandemic, health and safety has been a major discussion for many businesses. How can business owners best protect their employees and in turn their livelihoods? The answer: proper cleaning and sanitation!

Hiring a professional for commercial cleaning services allows you to sit back and relax, knowing that the best practices in the cleaning industry will be used at your business to protect the health and safety of all who enter. Professional cleaning ensures that the majority of harmful germs and bacteria are eliminated, allowing everyone peace of mind at work!

2. Decreased Maintenance Cost

One of the most overlooked benefits on this list is that proper cleaning can actually decrease costs of maintenance over time! Inadequate cleaning habits can lead to a range of issues that are more expensive to fix. For example, air conditioning units perform at their best when filters are regularly cleaned. Forgetting to clean those filters can lead to issues greater than simply a harder time cleaning the filter, but can overall cause a business to require entirely new units.

The same can be said about other equipment, flooring and more! A lack of proper cleaning can shorten the average lifespan of many investments into your business, costing you even more money in the long run.

3. Increased Productivity

When employees aren’t expected to maintain the cleanliness of the whole office on top of their other duties, they are able to be more productive in the role that you hired them for. Cleaning can eat up extra time that you and your employees don’t have to spare during an already busy work week.

Plus, when employees remain healthy thanks to proper cleaning practices, there are fewer risks of employees getting sick and requiring time off to rest and recover – leaving them feeling happy, healthy and productive!

4. Improved Customer Satisfaction

As a customer of another business, have you ever entered an office that was dirty? Did you want to give that company your business? Chances are, if you host customers in your office, cleanliness plays a large part in whether that customer decided to continue giving you their business.

A clean office can leave customers feeling more at ease about the choice to work with your business, increasing their satisfaction with the overall experience.

5. Personalized Cleaning Plan & Schedule

Here at All Source, we can completely tailor our commercial cleaning services to the needs of your business. From what we clean to how often we are there, whether you want us to manage stocking consumables or not – every inch of our approach is customized to you!

New Year, New Business Cleaning Habits

| | Commercial Cleaning, Office Cleaning

It’s time once again for New Year’s Resolutions! Instead of only making resolutions in your personal life – why not have some business resolutions this year? One simple resolution to make is to keep up with business cleaning in the Twin Cities area. The easiest way to succeed in this resolution is to hire All Source for all your business cleaning needs, however, here are some tips from the experts on how to personally achieve better business cleaning habits!

Stop Messes Before They Start

One of the best ways to keep messes from getting out of hand is to clean as you go. Notice papers piling up? File them away properly as you go! Notice a spill? Wipe it up before it dries or becomes sticky. While getting in the habit of cleaning as you go may seem annoying at first, it will save everyone time and leave things nicer in the long run. Plus, a habit of putting things away can help you keep things tidy in your personal life too!

Properly Dispose of Food

In an office space, one of the worst things to have to clean up is food that wasn’t disposed of properly. Whether leftovers were left in the fridge until they went bad or plates with food remnants were tossed in the sink and not rinsed – leaving food to sit and spoil makes a bad atmosphere for everyone. By cleaning up food properly – discard food into proper trash receptacles, rinse plates, put everything away – you create a cleaner, happier environment for everyone else around you. No more smelling rotting food every day when you just want to heat up your lunch.

Keep Entrances Clean

Do you sweep at the entrance of your building? Or wash away de-icers or mud that has accumulated? How long has it been since any rugs or mats were washed? All of these things can contribute further to mess inside your building. As employees and customers alike walk through pollen, de-icers, mud and more, it gets stuck to their shoes to be left anywhere they walk throughout the building. While it is impossible to guarantee that no dirt ever comes inside, regularly cleaning the entrances can help minimize how much dirt is brought inside.

Hire a Professional

If this sounds like too much to keep up with on top of your normal job duties, you aren’t alone. That’s why we at All Source are proud to offer business cleaning services to the whole Twin Cities area! You can simply check off your New Year’s Resolution of keeping your business clean by giving us a call today to schedule your regular cleaning services!

Fall Cleaning Tips from Office Cleaning Professionals

| | Office Cleaning, Tips and Tricks

As fall begins once again, it’s time for change. Changing colors in leaves, changing around our closets to feature warmer clothes for colder weather, and changing our office cleaning habits! While many only associate deep cleaning with spring, fall is the perfect time to complete another round of deep cleaning to make sure your offices shine and impress potential customers.

We specialize in office cleaning services for Minnetonka and the surrounding areas. This fall, we’ve consolidated a list of cleaning tips from our professionals.

1. Purge and Declutter the Office

Each season, create more space in your office with purging and decluttering. If items don’t work or won’t be used – get rid of them. If they can be donated or recycled, even better! Once everything you can not or will not use is out of the way, focus on cutting the clutter. Cluttered offices can leave more spots for dust and dirt to become trapped, leaving your employees extra sneezy.

2. Spot Clean Furniture

If you have noticed any stains on furniture that you’ve been meaning to take care of, now is the time! While spots are easier to treat if you do so right away, you can still take the time to use your favorite cleaning product or hack to try to scrub out those stains.

3. Clean Light Fixtures, Thoroughly

Light fixtures can easily be overlooked when performing your own office cleaning, but they are a hotspot for dust and bugs. Each season at minimum you should ensure that they are being thoroughly cleaned to best protect the health of your customers and employees.

4. Clean Computers

While you are already in a cleaning kick, take a look at your computers! Chances are your screens, keyboards and mouses have some dust and dirt built up. These can be easily cleaned by following our guide to cleaning office equipment!

5. Clean Carpets

If your office has carpets, they are probably long overdue for a thorough cleaning. With employees and customers tracking in dirt from their shoes every day, carpets can house a lot of dirt. We recommend having full carpet maintenance performed, or at minimum using your best carpet cleaner to get out what dirt you can.

6. Wash Walls

For offices with painted or wood paneled walls, seasonal cleaning is a great time to wash your walls as well. Employees and customers may lean against or slide their hands against walls while walking along, which can cause dirt to get stuck to them.

7. Wash Windows

Additionally, fall is a great time for a full window washing service! We highly recommend hiring a professional for this step, as washing the outside of second-story or higher windows can be dangerous without the proper equipment and training.

8. Hire Professional Office Cleaning Services

This list may sound like a lot to complete on top of your normal tasks at work, but don’t worry! The professionals at All Source can take care of most of your seasonal checklist for you, without you having to lift a finger. Let us manage your seasonal office cleaning checklist.
