Get Tips For Keeping Your Office Germ-Free

At Clean-Slate, We have composed a few simple tips to ensure your office is as germ-free as possible. 

  • Desk germs: If you have a big office, where staff constantly change desks, you will need to ensure that all objects on the desks are thoroughly cleaned every day. Telephones and keyboards are perfect hiding and breeding grounds for germs.
  • Clean Hands: It sounds obvious, but making sure there is a constant supply of soap in toilets could minimize the risk of sickness. Also, whilst you’d hope everyone does this, make sure you remind staff with notices in toilets to wash their hands.
  • Clean Handles: Door handles are one of the main places where germs like to hide. Think about it, how many people use the front door every day? Imagine if they’ve just been holding a tissue full of germs and then use the same hand to open the door. Germs will instantly transfer to the handle and can live for several hours. 
These tips are reduce the number of illnesses within your workforce.

Three Most Common Janitorial Mistakes



Cleaning has never been an easy task for anyone who does it for someone else. You will always find complaints and scope for improvement if you are a janitorial services professional. Different people (allow me to talk about every one of them) have different opinions about how a particular thing or area can be cleaned. This stands especially true in case of commercial janitorial services. We will see the most common mistakes that amateurs and professionals make in the following paragraphs.



Washroom Cleaning


It is a universal fact that people are finicky about using public toilets. Many take lot of time inside just for preparing their seat, i.e. ensuring they don’t even accidentally touch the toilet seat surface while ‘at it.’ Agreed that the practice is for staying away from diseases and infections but the volley of complaints and suggestions about it just doesn’t seem to end.

So, here’s the deal, the below mentioned factors are to be highly avoided when you are engaged for cleaning services. These are the common mistakes pointed out by the administration and individual users.

-         water leakage and wet floors

-         clogged toilets

-         smelly floors

-         overflowing trash bins

-         no soap dispensers

-         running out of toilet tissues


Floor Cleaning


Nothing seems as disgusting as a floor with hair and bits of food strewn all over. Hair looks good only on the head, not on floors. Imagine you going to work on a Monday and you still feel the weekend treat smell around you as you enter, only difference being that the odor is stale! Janitorial services are responsible for keeping the area infection free, especially in health care facilities.

Different types of floors different handling and cleaning. Experts should be prepared and acquainted with the floors they have to clean. A wooden floor needs different type of stripping and cleaning routine than marble flooring.


Odor Management


Another of the most common complaints from users is bad odor. Be it the washrooms, toilets, wash basins, public bathrooms, office floors, industrial floors, clinics, etc. presence of bad smell is directly associated with unhygienic conditions. This doesn’t indicate that a sweet smelling room is fully disinfected and clean. Bad smell often stems from unclean cleaning materials, for example, the cloth or mop with long fibers that is used for mopping the floors will obviously smell if it is not washed properly after cleaning.


These were the three most common mistakes that are highlighted in every complaint forum about commercial janitorial services. Keeping a regular tab on the cleaning routines will ensure to avoid these problems. The job of cleaning is not as simple as it may seem so contribute your bit when you use a clean toilet by ensuring you leave it as you found it.

Some Tips For Choosing The Right Janitorial Services

Areas for Cleaning: Over the years I have learn to distribute cleaning work department wise. Different areas of the office demand different cleaning practices and of course, varying frequencies of cleaning. Even the cleaning agents and instruments are different. For example, the cafeteria needs different washing detergents than the bathroom floor.

Things to Clean: Carpets can make or mar the look of your office and we don’t realize how important it is to maintain the clean carpets. They are possibly the best house for mites and play an important role in spreading them. Same applies to dust or room freshener sprays that are used to camouflage bad odor. To say the least, it may lead to allergies or breathing troubles.

Save Money: Little did I realize the amount of money I can save by engaging professional carpet cleaners than giving away my old carpets for resale. The team went about examining the carpet stains and the fiber damages. They explained me the causes of damage and also gave tips on how to tackle different fresh stains to avoid stubborn stains.
