27-office-cleaners-in-seattleHow often should it be done?

Office deep cleaning is a single or regular set of activities, during which all the necessary works are performed to create a perfect order in the premises in accordance with the priorities of the customer. The deep cleaning of an office space may be required in some cases, such as rearrangement or severe “neglect” of the office premises.

It should be noted that the establishment of cleanliness and order in the office often increases working effectiveness and efficiency, serving as a motivating a stimulus for employees. Freshness, gloss and purity of the workspace demonstrate the company’s interest in good working condition of its professionals, so it is important to pay adequate attention to this aspect.

In order to determine the frequency of referring to experts, it is necessary to take into account the size of the premises, the amount of equipment, the number of people coming to the office every day, as well as the neatness of the employees. Of course, the latter is sometimes difficult to observe (and one does not exclude the probability of accidents), but sometimes without this point it is hard to determine right how often the deep cleaning should be done in the office.

Actions, included in office deep cleaning.
Of course, the works necessary for a complex cleaning of the office space, as well as the prices for cleaning, depend on the office size. The basic services of office deep cleaning usually include the following:

• removal of dust from floors, ceilings, walls as well as all the details of the interior;
• cleaning of windows, windowsills, radiators, heating pipes;
• cleaning of upholstered furniture and carpets with special equipment;
• cleaning of bathrooms and kitchen facilities;
• wet and dry cleaning of the items of office equipment;
• taking out the trash, and much more.

There are many cases when in order to save some money the company’s management hires for office cleaning “a cleaning lady”. Unfortunately, due to the low qualification, such a freelancer can damage the expensive equipment by, for example, picking the wrong agent for cleaning computer equipment. To avoid such situations, it is always better to use the services of professionals in the field of office cleaning, thanks to cooperation with which you will receive:

• saving time and effort that can be spent on the solution of strategic issues;
• reducing the risk and possible costs associated with unskilled cleaners;
• high quality services, which are guaranteed by professional experts.

Therefore it is always, and for any company, is more profitable and more rational to refer to specialists who will professionally clean the office within the shortest time.

Such cleaning should be performed at least annually. But if you decided to clean your upholstered furniture yourself, you may follow some professional pieces of advice.

To clean the upholstered furniture and not to damage it
To remove dust from upholstered furniture use dry cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. For this purpose time use a special soft upholstery nozzle and the average engine speed. The wet cleaning is used for deeper cleaning and stain removal.

Steam cleaning
If you are a happy owner of a vacuum cleaner with a steam cleaner, you can use it to perform a deep cleaning of upholstered furniture from dust and dust mites. It is important that the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a highly efficient multi-stage filtration system.

Chemical cleaning
You may use some special cleaning agents that are suitable for the upholstery material of your upholstered furniture. Before using a cleaning agent try it on a small scrap of upholstery and let it dry. If the upholstery was not damaged during the treatment, apply the cleaning agent to small areas and carefully rub with a soft brush or sponge within less than a minute. The backrest should be the first to be cleaned, and then – armrests. The bottom part is the last one to be cleaned. The remains of a cleaning agent are collected with a vacuum cleaner. No need to dry upholstery with a hair dryer! The material should dry up naturally.

Old wives remedy
If the previous cleaning methods do not suit you, use the old natural home remedy. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of vinegar in 1 liter of water. Soak in this solution a large clean piece of cotton or linen cloth and squeeze it out well. Cover the sofa or chair with this piece of cloth and begin to dust off with soft beats of a beater. Wash the dirty cloth, soak it again in the solution of water and vinegar and repeat dusting off, until the cloth remains clean after dusting.

Cleanliness and comfort to your office!

Professional Office Cleaning. What does it mean?

On August 18, 2015, in Cleaning industry, by admin

78-professional-office-cleaningProfessional, high-quality and inexpensive office cleaning by a cleaning company is a common phenomenon in a modern world. The cleaning process is more and more frequently entrusted to specialized companies. Well, and it’s needless to say that cleaning should be done regularly.
The principle “It’s clean not where people clean up, but where they don’t litter” allows only increasing the interval between bringing an office in order, but in whatever way there comes a time when you need to take up the dusters and carry out this wearisome process. The list of things required for cleaning the premises, especially for deep cleaning, is quite impressive. You will need mops, brooms, buckets, vacuum cleaner, dustpans, sponges and all sorts of cleaning agents.

One of the principal and seemingly inconspicuous problems is dust. It can adversely affect the health of your employees, who breathe it, and some can become allergic to it. For dust control you will need special wet and dry wipes, which should always be in excess. It is also desirable to have antibacterial sprays in stock for more qualitative cleaning of surfaces.

One of the extremely important points is also a proper cleaning of expensive office equipment by applying special suitable means, in order not to damage it and not to lose the information stored on the computers. Therewith, a regular cleanup of the equipment will extend its life. Office cleaning isn’t finished with this, to be more precise – it’s only the first stage of a long and hard work.

Before you start to wash the floors, windows and walls, you need to use a vacuum cleaner. Dry cleaning always precedes the wet cleaning.
Thus, cleaning assumes the possession of various expert skills. To perform this process with a high quality you will need to:

·    know the cleaning procedure;
·    know the types and application of various cleaning agents;
·    cleanup the office equipment carefully but thoroughly in order not to damage it.
In addition you need to possess certain skills to do it quickly and efficiently.

Personnel recruitment for cleaning

Well, you provided yourself with everything required for regular professional cleaning of the office premises in the company. But who will do it? Certainly not office workers. And it is impractical to organize your own cleaning department. Hence there comes a time to search for a cleaning lady who will thoroughly carry out her work. This is also quite a difficult problem, and the search for a reliable employee may drag on. And if you apply to a specialized recruitment agencies for personnel selection, you will have to pay them quite a large amount.

The cleaning lady that you find will come to the office at regular time intervals and will establish order and cleanliness while all the staff members are busy with their work. In order not to distract the manager she can ignore cleaning the workplace and the space around it. It’s obvious that with such a superficial way of cleaning the carpets and decorative components gradually fade, monitors become dull, a thick layer of dust forms in hard to reach places… Eventually even a cosmetic repair may be needed.

But the cleanliness of the office determines the reputation of the company. Clients, visiting your company, usually pay a close attention to the cleanliness and tidiness of the office.

It’s never too late to think about how to maintain the cleanliness of the office. Easier not to puzzle over this question but to entrust the deep office cleaning to the team, specially prepared for this, and the price of such service will be reasonable. Especially that the professionals will have with themselves everything required for a high-quality work. You may conclude a contract for cleaning with varying frequency – from once a day up to once a month (and less often). A good practice is also to do a deep cleaning once per couple of months or more often.

The benefits of cleaning done by specialists are obvious:

·    it takes minimum time;
·    its quality is much higher than if it were done by yourself;
·    it is carried out by a professionally trained staff, who will use the cleaning agents exactly as intended, so you need not be afraid for a damaged table, computer or any other valuable item you have in the office;
·    the price of premises cleaning is not too high, and you will be able to return to the working rhythm in maximum short terms.

65-maintain-office-carpetDo you have an office that meets lots of people daily? Do you want to extend the life and durability of your carpets? If yes, than this article is prepared just for you. Experts from Pro Quality Office cleaning have prepared several tips for you that will surely come in handy.

The number one aim for the janitorial companies in offices is to keep carpets clean, free from stains, but it is very important for managers and property owners to know what cleaning supplies are used in their office.

First of all, you can ask you janitorial company to provide you with the list of chemicals they use for cleaning stains. You need it because sometimes cleaning supplies do not work well and the stains appear again and become even worse.

What do you know about the methods of carpet cleaning? The most common methods include:

  • Water Extraction

Special equipment sprays water with special chemicals and at the same time vacuums it. The water dissolves dirt and a vacuum cleans it.

  • Steam Cleaning

Steam cleaning is good, but it cannot be used on man-made carpets or it can cause shrinking of wool carpets. The best thing about steam cleaning is that it kills dust mites, and removes almost every stain, but it will take about 8 hours for your carpet to dry.

  • Foam Dry Cleaning

Do not believe that it says “dry”. This method also requires usage of water. Cleaning machines of this type use foam to cover the surface and then it is vacuumed. Usually the carpet will be dry whining an hour. Disadvantages include damaging of the carpet by brushes and bleed lines from a shampoo.

Use entrance mats. We have said about it so many times, but again this tip is important.

You cannot believe, but door mats do wonders, they reduce the amount of dirt, moisture, sand, etc.
