Winter Office Cleaning Checklist

Here are some essential winter cleaning tips for your office facility:

  • Prevent slip and fall accidents – Rain, melting ice, and snow can quickly become hazardous when tracked into your building. The best way to prevent slip and fall accidents in the workplace is to know how to handle them before bad weather hits. Maintain a protocol for salting or sanding icy areas to reduce the risk of accidents. Place non-slip mats at all entrances to reduce slippery surfaces. Our professional cleaning services will ensure all these measures and more are taken to reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents.
  • Sanitize work environments – Your employees are more likely to get sick during this time. That’s because winter is the flu and cold season. Therefore, your office needs to be regularly disinfected and sanitized to prevent the spread of germs and viruses. This includes door handles, workstations, keyboards, and other office supplies.
  • Wash all windows – Extra traffic during the holidays means more fingerprints on doors and windows. Exposure to the winter elements such as rain and wind means dirtier windows. Therefore, regular window cleaning is essential for your facility.
  • Keep floors and carpets clean – Winter means that water, mud, and salt are tracked into your building on a regular basis. Regular cleaning prevents slip and fall accidents, as mentioned above, and it can prevent long-term damage to your tile, hardwood floors, or carpet. Mildew, mold, and waterborne bacteria are also potential problems.

At Gateway Cleaning Services, our professional office cleaning team is dedicated to meeting all your expectations. Our experience allows us to clean and sanitize your facility efficiently every time.
