The vaccine is here! What does that mean for workplace cleanliness?

You may employ the needs of a professional cleaning service and here we are to give some advice on that. Cleaning your office and work space is now more important than ever before. Not only has the public become more germ conscious as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, but with work spaces being the host of many familiar faces, it is expected that many people coming into and from work would be potentially carrying germs diseases or just plain want to come into a professionally cleaned workspace.
Now that a vaccine has been announced, it is expected that more people will start going into work and with a more cautious mindset.

It is essential that cleaning of a workplace or building be the most pristine to ensure anybody entering the workplace will feel safe and assured and focus on their work rather than their health and the general cleanliness.
The same applies to any guests of the building as well. In fact, if your business is one of which works with the public, you should be ensuring that your office space is as professionally clean as possible as to not only properly represent your business, but also to ensure the safety of any and all guests that come into and out of the building. It should be seen as a necessity to get professional cleaning services for your business and help aid the healthcare crisis already going on.
Many consider work their second home, and unless they’re working on a farm, most want to come into a spotless place and not worry about having to call out sick. With many offices having closed for the pandemic where employees are working from home, many desks and chairs are accumulating dust. With the New Year around the corner and spring approaching, many suffer from seasonal allergies. With some fearing covid, an employee coming into work, having sneezing attacks and other such reactions from an unclean workplace could cause a lot of stress and unwanted obstacles for everyone involved. Not only could that employee feel discouraged from the lack of cleanliness, but also could result in a loss of productivity if he ends up sick at home as a result of poor cleaning guidelines.
At all times gloves should be worn by the cleaning crew when handling anything in the workplace to reduce anything that could contaminate the workspace by outside factors such as cross contamination and virus spreading. In addition to wearing gloves, the cleaning crew should also rely on their chemicals and cleaning supplies to make sure to eradicate any viruses or germs that are on the desks or in and around the workspace. According to the department of homeland security,

Several chemical germicides, including chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, detergents (soap), iodine-based antiseptics, and alcohols are effective against human viruses if used in proper concentration for a sufficient length of time.

All of this cleaning ideally has to be done when the business is not operating at its normal hours. Ideally the professional cleaning service should work at night or on the weekends so as to not disturb any productivity.
Luckily here at JNC, we do our cleaning for your office at a reasonable time so as to not disturb any work productivity. Furthermore, we offer electrostatic spray allowing for a more thorough and deep cleaning.
