Keeping Your Office Space Clean During the Winter

You do a lot to make sure you aren’t tracking snow or salt into your home, so why should your office be any different? During the winter, clean floors can mean a lot for safety, but there is much more that can be done for a clean office space this winter.

Throughout these snowy months, people will wear heavy-duty shoes and bring some outside in. The carpets and flooring at the entryways indicate when the weather is rough: snow and salt stains on the mats, and water or slush standing on hard surfaces. 

Properly maintaining the floors of your business won’t just make it look better, but it will help prevent any further damage from being done. We make good looking floors better when they are clean, and they will even lessen the risk of injury by removing possible slippery spots from bringing in the snow.

Germs and diseases can spread quickly in an office environment, regardless of the season. In the winter, the flu can spread around the workplace without the right preventative measures. Keep the bathrooms stocked with soap and have hand sanitizer throughout the office so your employees can prevent the spread of germs. Communal spaces also need to be properly cleaned. Spaces like kitchens and break rooms should be cleaned more regularly.

Also during the winter, daytime hours are limited. Bringing in as much sunshine as possible can work wonders for your team members. Be sure to keep the windows in your office building clean to allow as much sunlight in as possible. Keep the blinds and shutters open, and help boost the moods of every person.

Each employee deserves a clean office space and safe work environment, and even more so during the winter. Let Progressive Building Services help make that possible in every way. From janitorial services to carpet cleaning, we guarantee that we will satisfy you with the results.
