As summer temperatures soar, so does the potential for unwanted pests to invade facilities. A commercial cleaning company such as Mister Kleen will help provide a clean environment that is aesthetically pleasing and will establish a critical defense against summertime pest infestations. Implementing a comprehensive cleaning strategy can significantly reduce pest problems.

Cleaning Protocols

• Deep cleaning: Summer is a prime time to implement a deep cleaning program. Mister Kleen can target areas that attract pests, like kitchens, break rooms, and storage areas, paying close attention to crumbs, spills, and food debris.
• Routine sanitation: Mister Kleen can maintain a regular cleaning routine throughout the summer months. This includes frequent trash removal, wiping down surfaces, and mopping floors. 
• Focus on Food Service Areas: In kitchens and break rooms, Mister Kleen can implement stricter cleaning protocols during the summer. This includes sanitizing food prep surfaces regularly, cleaning out spills immediately, and ensuring all food and beverage containers are properly sealed.
• Waste Management: Overflowing trash cans and dumpsters are an open invitation for summertime pests. Ensure all receptacles have tight-fitting lids and implement regular collection schedules to prevent overflowing bins. Maintain a clean and sanitized storage area for waste containers, away from building entrances.

In addition to these cleaning protocols, facility managers can encourage tenants to declutter storage and other locations to eliminate areas where pests can take up residence. Another area to address would be leaks or condensation build-up, as pests are drawn to moisture. 

By prioritizing these cleaning strategies, you will significantly reduce the risk of summertime pest infestations in your facility. Mister Kleen can help maintain a clean, healthy, and pest-free environment for staff and occupants all year round. Let us help you create a summer of productivity and peace of mind!
