27-office-cleaners-in-seattleOffice is a place where there are lots of people come in and out. Because there are lots of people in the office you need to think about the cleaning from different aspect. It seems to me that cleaning crew should be used in the office because:

  1. Clean environment affects the productivity of workers.

Dirty environment can be distracting. Professional cleaning crew knows how to create positive conditions for work.

  1. Clean environment attracts more customers.

It goes without saying that customers look for a professional service. And no one will argue that professional service can be available in the office that is dirty and dusty. Office is the first thing that impresses the customer. Make this impression positive.

  1. Clean environment is safe environment.

Cleanness means safety. Germs spread very quickly in the office causing different kinds of allergies and diseases. Professional cleaning crew knows what methods of cleaning to use in order to remove hazardous germs and bacteria.

  1. Clean environment is less distractive.

Probably, no one at work wants to think about cleanness, workers should think about work at work. They shouldn’t worry about their health. By the way, the cleaning crew should come to clean the office after the working hours, because this will also be less distractive for employees.

  1. Clean environment should be supported by all the employees.

Workers should also understand that they need to clean after themselves. No papers should be accumulated on the table.

Of course there are many cleaning companies in Seattle, but you need to understand that professional cleaning company will provide the best results for your business. Professional company uses new techniques and new cleaning products.

Lots of things that you keep on your desk may be a haven for germs. What should be done? The answer is simple – CLEAN IT! Again use special disinfecting wipes. Experts recommend cleaning your desk as often as possible.

  • Door handles

Door handles or knobs act as magnets for germs and bacteria. Ask a cleaning crew to disinfect and clean not only the door handles but also doorframes of your office.

You need to remember that lots of people use it and all of them leave bacteria and germs on the buttons of a copier. In order to avoid getting sick wear plastic gloves. Ridiculous? Yes…So, what should we do? After using shared office equipment wash your hands with soap and warm water.

Be healthy and think about your safety even at work!

It’s very important to understand that every office worker needs a trash can, because the further a worker should go to throw the garbage, the less often he does throw it. Don’t think that it should be something large…no, just on the contrary, small trash cans will suit perfectly.

How to Motivate Office-Workers to Clean-Up after Themselves?

3-how-to-motivate-workersIt’s worth noting that the working place of your workers is so to say the “face” of your company. None of the customers wants to see piles of papers and dust on the desks of your workers.

A messy workplace is not one of the most productive places. And it happens so that in this mess the workers loose important documents and disorganize the work of personnel as a whole.

But to tell you the truth, it’s very easy to motivate your employees to clean-up after themselves, and there are several ways how you can achieve good results.

First of all, you need to voice out loud that everybody in the office must clean up after himself. You can also assign special cleaning tasks to different employees.

But you can not forget about yourself, you also need to clean up and show them a role model how to act. You shouldn’t grumble while cleaning, do it with a smile, showing to the co-workers that it’s not difficult to keep you workplace clean and well-organized.

Your colleagues shouldn’t also forget about the food leftovers that rot and smell horribly. Explain to the workers why it is important to clean up, tell them that dirty office gives to the customers the idea of non-competitiveness.

It’s also a great idea to have a system of rewards and penalties. The boss may reward them financially or giving free lunch, etc. And employees who do not clean up for themselves may clean after everybody as a kind of a punishment. Hopefully, in such a way they will be able to understand that it’s much easier to clean up only after yourself.

A special cleaning schedule should be developed; it will give the employees a special time that is especially dedicated to the cleaning. Usually this time is given at the end of the day, 5-10 minute is quite enough to arrange the workplace.

It would also be nice to have special organizers for papers, pens, pencils, documents, etc. Try to encourage your workers to eat their lunches in a special canteen and not at the desk, where they leave lots of stains and crumps.

Very often people just forget to clean because of the busy day they have, that’s why it’s good to have special reminders.

If these ways don’t help you with the coworkers, our company would love to clean your office. Pro Quality Cleaning provides all kinds of  commercial cleaning services for your business in Seattle.

How to clean your computer from dust and dirt?

On August 23, 2013, in Cleaning electronics, by admin

Computer equipment has been firmly established in our lives and it has become a necessary part of our lives. We cannot live a day without our gadgets. Nowadays people use computers and other gadgets everywhere and all the time…

But it should be noted that all the computers become dirty as other things in our house and they require systematical cleaning.

Usually we do not pay attention to the cleanness of the computer and eventually it becomes the dirtiest object in the house. Usually the dirtiest parts of the computer are the monitor, the keyboard and the mouse. In addition to the accumulated dust on these parts of the computer, you will also be able to see stains and fingerprints on the monitor, dirty and greasy stains on the mouse and lots of crumbs in your keyboard, etc. System unit starts to sound strangely because of the dust.

If the above mentioned description reminds you of your computer, then you urgently need to clean your computer.

ATTENTION!

Before cleaning the computer turn it off and disconnect from the power supply!

Cleaning of the monitor

In order to remove stains, use special screen wipes for the monitors or special chemicals that can be purchased at specialty shops. If you don’t have these special wipes, you can use an ordinary soft terry cloth. Moisten it with warm water and wipe the monitor.

IMPORTANT!

Do not wipe the monitor with material or solutions that contain alcohol, toluene, ammonia liquid or acetone. They will cause irreparable damage to the monitor.

Cleaning of the keyboard

While cleaning of the keyboard, you can use a damp cloth, a vacuum cleaner or a hair dryer in order to blow out the crumps and the dust that were accumulated in it. If the vacuum cleaner doesn’t help, you will need to remove all the keys in order to clean the inside of the keyboard. It should be noted that you will need to remember where each key was located. We recommend taking a picture of your keyboard before you start cleaning it from the inside.

Cleaning of the computer mouse

It is the easiest part of the computer as for the cleaning. It can be cleaned with anything. Of course, you shouldn’t imbathe it with the water, because you will damage the device and will have to buy a new one. If the mouse has the roller, don’t forget to clean it.

Cleaning of the system unit

The most difficult thing to clean is the system unit. If you do not know what is inside the system unit and you have never cleaned it before, it is much better to step aside and to allow the professional to clean it.

If there is no much dust in the system unit, you can blow it out with the help of the vacuum cleaner or a hair dryer through the holes in the computer casing. From the outside the system unit can be cleaned with the help of a cloth. Be careful with the wires that are connected to it.

But if your system unit is filled with dust, your computer will work slowly, coolers will sound strangely and will poorly ventilate the most important parts of the system unit.

Before you clean the system unit, make sure it is turned off and only then take the cover off. If there is much dust inside, then use a vacuum cleaner. You can also use a brush, but be careful using all the equipment for cleaning. Be sure to clean the coolers thoroughly and then apply machine oil for their better work. After cleaning you will enjoy the excellent work of the computer with computer pending.

How often to clean your computer?

At least once a week you need to clean the monitor, the keyboard and the mouse. As for the system unit, it should be cleaned at least once or twice in a year.

If you are not sure how to clean your computer, our specialists will help you with this.

Office cleaning ideas: How to keep your office clean at all times

On August 14, 2012, in Cleaning advice, by admin

What an interesting office cleaning idea to incite employees to keep their office clean and tidy at all times. Below we will provide you with few creative office cleaning tips on how to maintain the office tidy and clean without any significant inconvenience.

Keeping a workplace clean is important to any company whether it receives costumers at their business premises or not. Many companies hire professional office cleaning services to clean their offices while others prefer to divide the cleaning responsibilities between their employees. In this way employees are encouraged to keep their offices sparkling clean at all times.

The best place to start introducing cleanness is employee’s workstations and desks. Every employee should be responsible for its own work space; employees should strive to keep their desks uncluttered and speckless.

It’s recommended to not allow employees to eat at their workstations. Also, it’s nice to incite employees to wash their hands every time they return from a snack specially if they went out to eat.

Unfortunately the offices that allow employees to eat at their desks tend to turn their keyboards into bacteria’s hives. Also, it’s better not to allow your employees to store food in their workstation drawers and make sure they keep them tidy and clean as well. It would be good to provide files and folders so employees can store their paper work and avoid paper clutter on their desks.

If you hire an office cleaning company make sure their cleaning specialists disinfect keyboards and phones every time they come to clean your office. In addition, make sure they use appropriate cleaning solutions, because using the wrong products may lead to damaging electrical equipment.

Implement random audits and penalties for those employees who don’t keep their workplaces organised and clean. In this way you will incite your employees to maintain their workstations clean and tidy most of the time.
