A Comfortable Stay

Posted on: 18 November 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing crisis. As the pandemic continues, businesses must find a way to make ends meet. For many, this involves opening their doors to customers with new, improved safety regulations. A commercial cleaning service can help you keep your store clean to protect employees and staff members. Here are four specific things a janitorial cleaning company can do for you.

1. Sanitize counters, tables, and desks

Successful businesses receive a lot of foot traffic. With many customers coming into your store, you'll have many people touching various surfaces. Counters, tables, and desks can collect germs, especially if people touch their face before touching one of these surfaces. A commercial cleaning company can sanitize high-touch surfaces using anti-microbial cleaners. Schedule a cleaning service to sanitize your business at least once a day to reduce the number of bacteria and germs present.

2. Wear proper safety equipment

COVID-19 is primarily spread through droplets of saliva that are exhaled when a person breathes or speaks. Wearing the proper safety equipment can reduce a person's risk of transmitting the virus to others. Commercial cleaning staff will take precautions to avoid spreading germs around your facility. While cleaning, janitors will wear face masks and gloves. Some janitors may wear a face shield for additional protection.

3. Clean your store after-hours or during slow business times

It's usually best to schedule a cleaning service for a time when your business is closed. Vacuum cleaners can disturb customers who would prefer to shop without noise pollution. A commercial cleaning service will allow you to choose a schedule that is tailored to your business hours. If you own a business that is open 24 hours a day, you can still minimize the effect of cleaning services on customers; simply schedule your cleaning service for a time when you typically have few customers.

4. Clean windows and other glass surfaces

When cleaning your store, it's important that you don't neglect areas like your windows and computer monitors. These objects can harbor germs as well, so it's important to have them washed regularly. A janitorial service can wash your windows and other glass surfaces using products that disinfect while leaving a streak-free finish. As an added bonus, clean windows are more pleasant to look at. Customers will be more likely to enter your store when it looks pristine and presentable, and regular window-washing can help you accomplish that.
