Top 10 Commercial Cleaning Tips for Office Buildings

Cleaning the exterior areas of office buildings is just as important as cleaning the inside. A well-maintained office building enhances its curb appeal, looks more attractive for future tenants, and makes employees look forward to working there. Office buildings have heavy foot traffic and are constantly exposed to different kinds of dirt that can be hazardous to the occupants. This can affect their productivity and, eventually, create a negative impact on their operations.

If you’re a business owner or you’re managing an office building, here are some tips on how commercial cleaning services can maintain tidy and healthy living office spaces for employees, guests and customers.

1. Exterior building washing

A building’s exterior is constantly exposed to dirt, dust, smog, and other pollutants. A dirty-looking building gives off a bad impression that will turn off future investors. Building washing by outdoor cleaning services can effectively remove the accumulated dirt on the walls with the appropriate cleaning methods and equipment. This will also help to extend the life of the building.

2. Dusting common areas

Dust can carry harmful elements that can trigger health hazards or allergies. Use disinfectant wipes to remove the dust on exterior fixtures that are located in common areas of the office building, such as door handles and outdoor tables and chairs. This can also help reduce the risk of compromising the occupants’ health.

3. Cleaning out trash bins

Accumulated trash from an office building can cause a stench and can even become a breeding ground for germs if they’re not cleaned out properly. Make sure the trash is collected regularly and the bins are washed clean. Consider adding more bins and distribute them strategically so trash won’t pile up too quickly. It’s an eyesore to see trash spilling out of the bins, especially at office entrances.

4. Window washing and wiping

A clean window not only looks more appealing but it also plays an important role in promoting energy efficiency. Dirty windows can block out natural light. This results in the increased consumption of electrical interior lighting. Window cleaning on high-rise buildings will require the professional services of an outdoor cleaning company. Their workers are certified to clean at certain heights and have the right equipment to clean the windows safely and efficiently.

5. Driveway and car park cleaning

These areas tend to accumulate grease, grime and other kinds of dirt tracked in by tires. Car parks are also susceptible to oil and exhaust stains. Carelessly discarded trash also appear in these areas as well which can cause tripping accidents, obstructions, or even become fire hazards. A professional outdoor cleaning crew can handle car park cleaning by washing out hard-to-remove stains and clearing out trash for a much cleaner and safer environment.

6. Washing metal panels

Some office buildings have metallic panels as part of the architecture. Dirt from environmental elements can cause it to corrode over time. Cleaning services that provide pressure washing for commercial buildings have the expertise to remove stubborn grime on these panels, without damaging the surface. This will help restore its original lustre and preserve its condition for a longer duration of time.

7. Washing off graffiti

Graffiti can ruin the appearance of an office building which can have a negative impact on the professional image of the company. An expert cleaning crew can provide graffiti removal services using high-pressure washing equipment.

8. Removing dirt in brickwork

Moss, mud, mould, and other forms of dirt can accumulate on the surface and crevices of brick structures. Eventually, this can cause discolouration of the bricks. Outdoor cleaning services can ensure the removal of trapped dirt, use treatments to eliminate mould, and restore the rich, vibrant colour of the bricks.

9. Applying hard surface sealing

Hard surface sealing can help maintain the building’s structural integrity. It can revitalise the original colour, prevent dirt from getting trapped, and makes the surface easier to wash and clean. An outdoor cleaning company can apply the right kind of sealant that’s appropriate for the surface.

10. Removing leaves, weeds, and debris

Dried leaves, animal waste, and other debris scattered all over office building grounds can make it look unsanitary and unwelcoming. Weeds that grow between the pavers of sidewalks can cause slipping accidents. Outdoor cleaning services have the expertise and equipment to remove all of that, without disrupting your business operations.
