Winter Cleaning Tips For Your Property

Commercial cleaning services can help keep things looking professional. Although you can try to do it yourself, the workload is higher in the winter and is best left for after hours, when everyone has gone home. Doing it yourself means longer days. Executive Building Maintenance is available to handle the extra load brought on by the cold weather.

Cleaning practices in the winter months can help address several issues including the transfer of infectious germs such as cold and flu. As COVID-19 continues to create challenges for businesses throughout B.C., we at Executive Building Maintenance will continue to protect customers and employees with our Professional Cleaning Services. Ensure you have a reliable Janitorial Company you can trust.​ Here are some tips to keep things clean, safe and hygienic:

Exterior Maintenance

When the temperatures drop, ice and snow can prove hazardous if not properly maintained. In the winter, it is very important that you pay close attention to the outside of your property if it is your responsibility. You have to ensure the paths and parking lot are cleared of snow and that salt is used to protect people from falls. And don’t forget those wet boots! People will be tracking in snow, ice, and salt on their boots. The cleaner it is outside, and the less you have to worry about the additional mess being dragged inside.

One thing experienced business owners will tell you about the holiday season is that you should never, ever underestimate the power of a great window display. Window displays can melt the hearts of even the most stressed  shoppers, but they won’t be moved if they can’t see it.  Professional window cleaners can keep your windows crystal clear throughout the winter months. That way, people will be able to see your amazing displays and be enticed to come in a spend some time in your establishment. Without the clean windows, however, people may be turned off and even think your store is rundown, dirty, and not worth venturing inside.

When grime, dirt, snow, and ice all beat against your windows every day, they can start to harm the window, its casing, and the window frame. Since the snow can melt and refreeze against the windows, dirty windows can actually fall apart faster in the colder months than in the summertime. Professional window cleaners thoroughly clean entire windows, including the frame and casing, to ensure that they remain clean and well-maintained. This will help your windows last longer, reducing replacement costs, and save you from having broken and dishevelled windows.

Flooring

People will be tracking in more dirt including salt, slush, and mud. When left to melt, that additional moisture can damage your floors, especially if they are hardwood. Carpet stains from tracking in the extra dirt can also be a real mess. Your first priority should be to add mats in your entryway to collect all that extra wet and salt. This can save you time and money while keeping your entry looking clean. It will also help you avoid slips when people step onto a slick surface with wet shoes and boots. The wet can also allow mildew and mould to grow and the mats will help sop up the damp.
You will also have to keep an eye on the buildup of salt that can still be tracked through the building. Daily vacuuming and cleaning is a must to reduce the buildup. Keep a mop handy, so you can swoop should you see a lot of water build up from melted snow. All this additional residue adds up over time, which will wear down the finish of just about any floor.

Special machine scrubbing by our professionals, will not only clean the floor but also remove mild imperfections to help avoid collecting further dirt build up.

With proper care and maintenance from Executive Building Maintenance, you will ensure the long-lasting durability and professional appearance of your floors for many years to come.

Provide a Healthy Environment

The reality is that businesses are better prepared to meet many of the unique set of demands that operating amid a pandemic brings.
