Did you know? Weather changes not only impacts your wardrobe but it also impacts how you maintain cleanliness in your commercial spaces! From heavy rains and snow to dry summers, every season brings with it new and distinct cleaning requirements.
Just like an all-weather friend, an all weather clean and hygienic cleaning strategy not only reflects professionalism but also protects the health of your employees and customers against seasonal infections and diseases. In this blog, we will explain how changing weather affects your commercial cleaning needs and how adapting to these seasonal shifts can benefit you.
Seasonal Cleaning Challenges
Every season brings with it its own set of cleaning needs that require specific attention and strategy.
Fall
Fall season means tackling fallen leaves and dirt. Leaves can create hazards when they enter the area, while dust and debris can build up in entryways and office spaces. Leaves and mud can also get trapped in carpets and flooring, thus requiring deep cleaning.
Spring
Well, spring means the air springing up with pollen, allergens, and muddy footprints. This increases the need for a deep carpet and upholstery cleaning. During this season, carpets and upholstery are exposed to higher moisture and mud that can leave lasting stains and odours.
Windows which were tightly closed all throughout chilly winters open in the Spring, so make sure they shine and let all the sunlight in with window cleaning.
Summer
Summers means that you will spend a lot of your time inside the office so as to avoid the scorching heat, so keeping commercial space clean and fresh during summers is an essential thing to do. Dry weather may cause dust to build up on surfaces and floors. Increased humidity might also cause mold and mildew, especially in poorly ventilated areas. Air duct cleaning makes sure that air circulation remains clean and fresh.
Monsoon or Rainy Season
Waterlogging, mud, and wet floors are common issues that need to be dealt with during this season.
Winter
Snow, salt, and slush dragged indoors will damage flooring and carpeting.
These seasonal challenges make it necessary for you to have a specific cleaning schedule.
Weather Impact on Cleaning
Variations in weather conditions affect both the frequency and intensity of cleaning required in your commercial space.
Increased Foot Traffic
During Rain or snow there is a lot of dirt which gets tracked indoors, thus requiring more frequent mopping, vacuuming, and disinfection.
Mold Growth
Humid weather accelerates mold and mildew in restrooms, air ducts, and kitchen areas, demanding specialized mold cleaning.
Air Quality
Seasonal changes, especially during autumn and spring, can introduce pollen and pollutants, impacting indoor air quality. Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems and vents must be cleaned more often.
Window and Exterior Maintenance
Rain, snow, or dust storms leave streaks and grime on windows and facades. The frequency of window cleaning increases in these seasons. Also if your windows haven’t been cleaned then summers are a great time to have them professionally cleaned as the sun exposure will highlight any smudges or dirt present.
Understanding how changing weather alters the cleaning needs helps you stay proactive and tackle dirt effectively.
Cleaning Requirements
By now the importance and advantages of having cleaning requirements as per the season’s requirements must have become clear.
Regular Checks
Conduct seasonal assessments to spot such areas in your space which are most affected by weather, these generally include the entrances, lobbies, restrooms and windows.
Deep Cleaning
You need to schedule timely deep cleaning sessions to address dirt buildup in carpets, vents, and upholstery caused by seasonal pollutants.
Floor Care
During the rainy season it is wise to invest in mats to prevent slip hazards and also protect flooring. Also, schedule polishing or waxing services more frequently during winter and monsoon season.
In winters, mats help to trap moisture and salt before it spreads throughout your space. This will greatly reduce slip hazards and protect floors from damage. When you don’t maintain entry mats properly, then these soaking wet mats create more problems. Moisture buildup can lead to mold, mildew, and unpleasant odours. It is wise to use high-quality, absorbent mats, this will handle moisture effectively and get the mats cleaned properly and rotated and replaced with dry mats to prevent any water buildup.
Disinfection
With winter comes flu season this calls for a thorough disinfection. This could include full facility disinfection with a 360-degree spraying with special attention on disinfecting high touch and high use areas like doorknobs, desks, and elevators. These touchpoint areas, if left unchecked tend to become hotspot areas spreading diseases to those who come in contact with it.
