Battling the Blizzard Blues: Commercial Cleaning Tips After a Snow Storm

By : Mister Kleen January 30, 2024 Comments off

For facility managers, the aftermath of a snowstorm can feel like a never-ending battle against slush, grime, and slippery surfaces. Commercial cleaning partners such as Mister Kleen are called upon to restore facilities to their sparkling glory.

Below are some essential commercial cleaning tips for navigating the winter weather:

Prioritize Safety First: Ensure all walkways and entrances are clear of snow and ice to prevent slips and falls. Be mindful of icy patches that may lurk in shaded areas.

Gatekeeping The Dirt: Place proper floor mats at all entrances and exits to remove salt, sand, and debris from the bottoms of shoes before it’s tracked into the facility.

Mop Up the Meltdown: Melting snow can create puddles and slippery surfaces. Ensure the cleaning regimen includes regular mopping of high-traffic areas with a floor cleaner designed for wet conditions. Pay special attention to entryways, hallways, and restrooms.

Deep Clean the Dirty Dozen: High-touch surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and elevator buttons become germ hotspots during winter. These areas should be thoroughly disinfected to combat the spread of illness.

Don’t Forget the Floors: Snow and salt can wreak havoc on floors. For carpets, consider a professional deep cleaning to remove embedded dirt and grime. For hard floors, scrubbers can be used in the battle against post-snowstorm grime. These machines can efficiently clean large areas and restore your facility to its normally pristine condition. 

Communicate and Collaborate: Keep tenants and employees informed about cleaning protocols and safety precautions. Encourage them to report any slippery areas or spills to ensure a quick and efficient response.
