Commercial Cleaning Tips for the Fall Season

10/7/2021

October is the great month for professional cleaning companies and property managers to review cleaning procedures and begin making cleaning and maintenance plans for the coming fall and winter. Building safety is improved for tenants, occupants, staff, and the general public, helping to reduce ownership liability. 

To help our customers stay clean and green – this fall, we offer the following tips for making this seasonal transition seamlessly. 

Carpet Cleaning

Many businesses don’t consider to clean carpets before and during the fall-winter months. This can be a mistake as the carpets can become laden with ground in dirt and impact indoor environmental quality. Be sure to clean your floors and carpets before winter which will help to extend the life of the carpet.

Window Cleaning 

Winter is coming, which means it’s time close your windows up and turn your heaters on. When this happens, all the accumulated dust and dirt from the summer season gets locked inside of your home. When pollen and dust are locked inside & accumulated throughout your home, it can make your seasonal allergies worse. Cleaning your windows this fall can prevent the accumulation of dust that has built up over the summer.

Install Mats:

With all that wet weather coming, customers and employees will be tracking in water and mud into entryways. If things have frozen over, they’ll probably bring in corrosive salt on their shoes, too. Place large, absorbent mats at all main entrances and invest in heavy-duty door mats for unit entrances. Not only will your floors and carpets stay clean, but they’ll keep your everyone from slipping and sliding on uncarpeted floors.
​
Install 15 feet of matting inside each entrance to capture ice melt, salt and sand before it is tracked throughout the facility.

HVAC

Heating and air conditioning systems should be inspected twice a year before summer and winter begin.
​
  • Test the operation of interior and exterior units, including all safety controls.
  • Clean or replace air filters as necessary depending on the level of use, usually monthly or quarterly.
  • Check refrigerant levels and oil levels.
  • Verify the condensate drain pan is draining as designed.
  • Check piping and insulation, inspect air compression lines, and check for leaks around tubing and fittings.
  • Clean the air intake and ductwork when needed, securing loose guard screens or panels, and checking flexible duct connectors.
  • Inspect exhaust fans, condenser motor bearings, and all electrical connections and hardware.

Interior Of Your Building 

  • Check the condition of paint, flooring, and light fixtures for wear and tear that could create safety hazards such as slipping or tripping.
  • Examine plumbing lines for evidence of leaks that could lead to mold growth, water damage, or pest infestation.
  • Test interior fire alarm and smoke detector systems, replacing batteries as needed.
  • Inspect electrical outlets and light switches for missing or damaged receptacle covers.
  • Test timers and photocells and controls to ensure they are functioning correctly.
  • Check door locks and window closures for proper operation, and ensure that exits are not partially blocked or obstructed.

Exterior Of Your Building 

  • Walk the exterior of the property and look for safety hazards such as exposed electrical wire or standing water caused by improper drainage or water leaks.
  • Check the condition of paint and walls, look for broken windows or doors, and examine the condition of stair railings and fencing.
  • Remove weeds and debris from around the building and foundation, and remove tree branches that appear ready to fall.
  • Examine the condition of sidewalks, driveways, and the parking lot, including storm drains and removal of any broken glass or accumulated trash.
  • Inspect the roof, clean drains and gutters and verify they are securely anchored, and test downspouts by flushing them with water.

Prepare For Snow Now

There’s nothing worse than heading out to the equipment shed after a big storm only to find a loose blade on your snow blower or a faulty wire on the plow for your truck. That’s why it’s so important to audit your equipment now. Take stock of what you have, order what you need and replace older or worn out parts before they break to save money.
​
​If you use a snow removal service, touch base with them now. Make sure your contract hasn’t expired and it’s up-to-date with the latest rates. Plowing services book up quickly, and if they don’t show with the first snow, there’s a good chance you’ll be getting out there yourself with your shovel to help your residents. 

With our highly efficient snow removal services, you can rest assured during the snowfall knowing that you won’t have to go out in the cold to clear a path yourself. Just leave it to us and stay cozy inside. Get the best commercial snow removal contract. Keeping your property safe and accessible all winter is our main concern.

This is really helpful. We are approaching summer now, so I bet some tips will not be applicable but there is no strict rule though when it comes to cleaning.

For windows, using the same cleaning products used in tables and surfaces may work. Assuming that it is made of normal glass, it won't do any troubles.

First, remove any surface filth with a cleaning brush to stop it from becoming firmly embedded in the upholstery. When stains do occur, you may attack them with eco-friendly cleaning supplies or DIY solutions, such as using warm water and an egg yolk to remove coffee stains off office furniture.

It got me when you said that it can be a mistake to neglect cleaning the carpets in the winter or fall season, because they can get lots of dirt that can impact your indoor's environmental quality. I can imagine how hiring janitorial cleaning services for your establishment or office can prevent having that kind of issue, especially when you are in your peak season. Because of that, the owners should find a company they can invest in and partner up with them for as long as they can.
