We provide janitorial services to businesses throughout NYC. Our services allow your employees to focus on the jobs they were hired for, while sufficiently ensuring that all areas of your office will be cleaned and sanitized. As a means to make cleaning easier for janitorial staff, it is important to try and have employees follow five of the below tips on keeping a tidy office space.
- It is not unfair to ask your employees to keep a semi-tidy workspace. If need be, create a 15 to 30 minute time at the beginning or end of the day where workers are given a chance to clear and organize desks and draws. Not only is this a great way to keep desks clean, but it also allows employees to remind themselves of tasks they are supposed to finish.
- Encourage your staff to keep paperwork organized and filed. If something is taken out, try to have employees replace books or files after they are done. This will substantially reduce clutter in an office.
- If possible, try to digitize as much paperwork as possible. This will further reduce clutter, while also adding extra room to your space (fewer filing cabinets).
- Place welcome mats at all entrances to try and catch dirt and debris that will otherwise be brought into the office.
- Set up hand sanitizing throughout the office (or at least by bathrooms) to help keep the office disinfected.
Small things done in conjunction with full janitorial services in NYC can go a long way. Let us help you keep your office space clean and bright.
Get Rid of Germs and Bacteria in your Office
Unfortunately, wherever there are people, there are germs. The dirtiest places in the world are often the areas we frequent the most. Office buildings are filled with germs that employees unknowingly carry around the office. Desks chairs, computers, and door handles are all subject to bacterial and viral growth from one sick employee. Fortunately, with frequent cleaning from a professional office cleaning in NYC office sickness can be drastically decreased.
The places that have the highest accumulation of germs are known as touch points. Touch points are any area of an office that people touch directly. For example, a touch point can be a computer mouse, screen, counter, coffee pot, water fountain, and so on. These areas need to be disinfected regularly because they are such a hot spot that encourage the growth of germs and pathogens. A nightly janitorial service in NYC is able to disinfect touch points and reduce the likelihood of office-based sickness.
Another hot bed for viral and bacterial growth is the bathroom. Bathrooms are inherently dirty, and are filled with touch points that can cause sickness. The sink handles, doorknobs, toilet flushers, and paper towel dispensers all have the ability to harbor unwanted germs. It is important to have a well-trained janitor disinfect bathrooms on a daily basis.
