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.
