Can a Commercial Cleaning Company Help with Air Quality?

An office, store and/or place of business can suffer poor air quality. This condition negatively impacts the company, the employees and the customers. Proper cleaning techniques can improve and/or prevent poor air quality. The following are the common causes of air quality issues and some ways that a commercial cleaning company can help your business. 

• Mould harms products and irritates the eyes and lungs of employees and customers. A commercial cleaning company will undertake regular surface cleaning (desks, kitchens, bathrooms, floors, other surfaces) with a carefully selected cleaning product to prevent and/or remediate a mould problem. They’ll also use a HEPA filter vacuum (high-efficiency particulate air filter) which removes mould spores from the air significantly increasing your air quality. 

• Dust collects on all surfaces and, if not removed, finds its way into the air. A commercial cleaning company will do regular surface cleaning with carefully chosen products, microfiber cloths and the use of a HEPA filter vacuum to capture dust and improve your air quality. 

• Strong smells are unappealing to customers and employees. A commercial cleaning company will use a HEPA filter vacuum when cleaning. This will collect particles that may be causing the problem.

• Germs: A commercial cleaning company can help reduce sick time and protect the health of your employees through regular surface cleaning and the use of a HEPA filter vacuum. 

• Improperly cleaned/seldom cleaned air ducts and air conditioning vents contribute to poor air quality in the workplace. A commercial cleaning company will schedule regular air duct, furnace and air conditioner cleaning. They’ll periodically replace the filters in your HVAC system. 

• Toxic cleaning products: Some cleaning products contain toxic substances that irritate the eyes, throat and nose, cause headaches, allergic reactions, respiratory difficulties and contribute to health problems. Many commercial cleaning companies offer a non-toxic/green cleaning option. 

Good air quality is essential to protecting the health of your employees, customers and clients. A professional cleaning company can have a big impact on the air quality of your business. They have the equipment, products and techniques to prevent and/or resolve air quality issues. They know the signs that deeper, more frequent cleaning or alternative products and specialized equipment are needed and are equipped to provide these. Contact a local commercial cleaner to discuss your air quality needs.
