Freshly polished floors – they shine with a radiance that rivals the sun. A coat of wax makes old and worn-down hardwoods and tiles look brand new. As a business owner, you want your clients to enjoy your commercial space – if your floors are sparkling and spotless, they’ll take notice. It will set your company apart as one that takes the experience of your customers seriously. There are many ways that shining and sanitary floors can help your business:
The wax treatment will protect your floors and preserve them for a longer time. Several coats of wax put a barrier between floors and the shoes they come into contact with. Wax coatings will protect your floors from damage if water is spilled. When it comes time to clean your floors, having an even surface will make the job easier. The extra layers will make tiles more durable. Sealing your floors with a protective wax makes it easier to maintain them.
Employees will appreciate it. Any worker is familiar with sometimes feeling exhausted when walking into their office – some days are harder than others. But when employees enter to find freshly waxed floors, it will put a pep in their steps; they’ll know that you took the time to improve the appearance of their workspace. A clean workspace can even boost productivity, so your investment in a floor treatment will be worthwhile.
Waxed floors are less slippery. Wiping-out on a greasy floor can cause injuries and embarrassment. Since waxed floors aren’t slippery, fewer people will slide when walking across them. This is a benefit to anyone that sets foot in your place of business, whether they’re an employee or a client. Prevent accidents by having your floors cleaned regularly.
It smooths away imperfections. Damages and dents are a natural part of aging for hardwoods and tiles – but with polish, you can make your floor’s history less obvious. Waxing is like an anti-aging treatment – but for floors! Who will notice a few scuffs and scrapes when their eyes are drawn to an illuminating, shiny finish?
Customers will feel at ease when they know your space is regularly cleaned. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, many people feel stressed about being in public spaces. Pandemic anxiety is affecting many people. If they can tell that your space is looked after, it will reassure them that you’re taking the pandemic seriously. A clean floor is a sign that your business is staying on top of the new protocols. Customers will feel more comfortable inside your place of business when the floors are freshly polished.
It creates a sophisticated and professional impression. Have you ever visited a company where the floors were dusty and sticky? If so, you probably didn’t think very highly of them. It might have made you decide to take your business elsewhere. This will be the experience of your customers if you allow your floors to fall into disarray. On the other hand, radiant floors will make them think more highly of your company.
Want to give your floors a facelift? Anago offers commercial cleaning services. Impress your customers and improve employee morale by hiring our team to make your floors sparkle. We’ll take the time to make sure your business is spotless!
Cleanliness has been at the forefront of people’s minds since the outbreak of COVID-19. As employees begin returning to work, it has become paramount that businesses take sanitary measures more seriously than ever. To protect the health and safety of staff and clients, public workplaces need to be disinfected regularly and deeply. But how is deep cleaning different from regular maintenance, and should your office invest in it?
The term “deep clean” refers to a thorough and detailed sanitization job. It involves the use of disinfectants to eliminate bacteria that can cause disease. A deep clean is more time-consuming and comprehensive than typical janitorial services. It seeks to eliminate all traces of dirt and germs from surface areas. These cleaners will remove dust from hard to reach places, like behind the fridge, under desks, or on light fixtures.
Your office might be cleaned regularly by a janitorial crew; in that case, you might be asking yourself why you should pay more for a deep clean. The answer is that regular maintenance cleaning doesn’t usually offer the same extensive and comprehensive service that a deep clean does. Sure, your janitorial staff might wipe your counters and change your garbage – but when is the last time that your vents, baseboards, or window ledges were scrubbed? Neglecting these areas causes a build-up of dust, and allows for the growth of dust mites. These tiny bugs are a common trigger for allergies and asthma, which are the second most common reasons that people call in sick. A deep clean can help promote higher air quality in your workplace, which means fewer sick days and more productive employees.
Deep cleaning has become a necessity in workplaces since the start of 2020. Typical cleaning services won’t be able to keep up with the new demands and strict regulations that have been put in place since the pandemic began. Workplaces that fail to meet these standards won’t just pose a safety hazard for employees – they might also get bad press. Customers or staff members who notice that cleaning details have been missed will not be impressed with your business, and may bring public attention to it. Preserve the safety and the image of your company by keeping your workplace spotless.
An office deep clean involves a multitude of tasks. The trash bins will be emptied, and supplies like paper towels and soap will be restocked. The windows will be washed and polished until they gleam. Attention to detail is critical in spaces like restrooms, kitchens, and break areas; these rooms are high-traffic areas where many employees interact. As such, a diligent deep clean is required. Surfaces will be wiped down and disinfected using products that are proven to eliminate viruses. This is especially important with high-contact surfaces like phones and keyboards. Carpets will be cleaned and hardwood floors will be swept and mopped. This is just an overview of some services offered for office deep cleans.

Our franchisees have the patience and experience to complete these time-consuming jobs and exceed expectations.

While cleaning for the coronavirus is not that different from disinfecting for other viruses, WHO guidelines for health and safety at workplaces require commercial spaces to step up in their cleaning protocols. Surfaces play a major role in the spread of this virus. Here is how: when an infected person coughs or sneezes, droplets of infected fluid fall on nearby surfaces and objects. In an office set up, we are talking about different surfaces – from desks, telephones, door knobs, computer parts, etc. If someone else touches the contaminated surfaces then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth, they’ll likely catch the virus. This is why deep and frequent cleaning in offices is mandatory during this period.
Your office most likely receives regular cleaning but in this season, commercial spaces need more than just regular cleaning. To keep your employees and customers safe, a combination of basic cleaning and disinfecting is critical. Let’s first differentiate the two, so we see how each plays a role:
Cleaning means physically getting rid of dirt and germs from surfaces. Disinfecting, on the other hand, means using chemicals to kill germs on the surfaces. While cleaning can remove the virus, it will not necessarily inactivate it. However, before disinfecting a surface, one should first clean it. This is because cleaning reduces the soil load on the surface and this increases the effectiveness of the disinfectant.
Deep cleaning an office space includes washing down, vacuuming, mopping, and sweeping. It starts with dusting which involves the removal of dirt particles from every surface in the office. Floor cleaning involves using fiber mops and the right cleaning solution that doesn’t damage the floors. All carpeted floors are vacuumed to remove dirt and dust particles. Toilet cleaning should include cleaning basins, showers, splash backs, and mirrors. Deep cleaning the kitchen includes cleaning the worktops, kitchen door units, and basics. For walls and ceilings, periodic cleaning will do. Our team usually pays particular attention to the most neglected areas in the offices that harbour the most germs. Our cleaning services also include some maintenance activities such as emptying and cleaning bins, picking up litter, and washing of coffee/tea cups.
Our team is trained to bring back the sparkle on every surface they touch. But during this period, more frequent cleaning and disinfection may be required. High-touch surfaces including light switches, tables, door knobs, desks, faucets, keyboards, and sinks need to be wiped with disinfectant regularly. One way to have surfaces disinfected regularly is to have a standby cleaning professional who constantly disinfects high-touch surfaces. Also, provide disposal wipes to your employees so they regularly wipe down high-touch surfaces such as desks and computers. WHO also recommends putting sanitizing dispensers all around the workplace where employees, contractors, and visitors can access them with ease.

If you don’t take measures to prepare your floors for winter, they’ll end up enduring a battle between salt, dirt, and moisture. Depending on your workplaces floor type, the end result will be distorted and warped hardwood floors, broken tiles, stained floors, and/or heavily stained carpets. Here’s how you can go about protecting your workplace for winter:
Guard Against Moisture
During winter, moisture is one of the biggest risks you should guard against. For laminate flooring, if the moisture in the tile assembly freezes, it can stress various tiles components, causing them to crack. Hardwood floors, when exposed to moisture seepage, end up warping and eventually, they lift. As winter approaches, making sure your drainage system is in tip-top condition will prevent waterlogging that can cause seepage into the floors.
Floor Mats
As winter approaches, you can never have too many floor mats. During winter, our shoes drag moisture and water indoors, and the longer water and salt sit on the floor, the more likely they are to damage them. To protect your floors you need to make sure mats are placed at all entrances. The water, dirt and grime will stay on the mat while your building stays dry and safe, all the while, decreasing the chances of slips and falls. The entranceway of your office will also be safeguarded from scuffs or scratches. The best mats to purchase are those that can be laundered or those that can be hosed off within minutes.
Increase Vacuuming
In winter, carpets soak up moisture, dust, and allergens. If your workplace floor is carpeted you need to increase vacuuming to prevent salt damage. A carpet that has already soaked up moisture will begin to smell bad if not vacuumed regularly. Unattended wet carpet is also prone to mould and mildew. Apart from causing allergies, mould and mildew can cause discolouration. Rather than waiting for the moisture and mould to permeate the carpet, call a cleaning company before the carpet becomes too damaged to restore.
Guard Against Temperatures
Fluctuations in temperature can adversely affect hardwood and laminate flooring. During winter we tend to shut all the doors and windows and increase the indoor temperatures, turning heaters on. This ends up reducing the indoor moisture levels. As a result, if your flooring is hardwood tiles, they suddenly begin to shrink and gaps appear between the tiles. On the other hand, if yours is laminate flooring, fluctuations in temperatures may result in tile curling, peeling, and other forms of damage. The solution is to try and maintain a consistent indoor temperature. To increase humidity in the air, you can install a humidifier. As long as you can maintain a humidity of between 40%-60%, your floors will survive well through the winters.
Regular Mopping
With winter’s wet weather, footwear carries a lot of dirt which ends up on the office floor. The build-up of mud dulls hardwood floors and salt debris will scratch polished floors leaving marks. This is where commercial cleaning services in Winnipeg come in handy. Professional cleaning will clear the sand and salt and keep the moisture at low levels to prevent people from slipping and falling. To remove all the salt and debris, a professional company will clean all the areas around your office including the most neglected areas like under the desks.
Floor maintenance before and during winter doesn’t just protect the floors against wear and tear but also promotes employee safety.
