As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time for commercial property managers to assess and revamp their cleaning and disinfection protocols. A clean, healthy workspace is vital for maintaining tenant satisfaction, reducing absenteeism, and keeping your property in top condition. Here’s what every commercial property manager should prioritize cleaning-wise at the start of the year:
1. Review and Update Cleaning Protocols
The beginning of the year is ideal for reviewing your current cleaning and disinfection strategies. Ensure that:
- Cleaning schedules are up to date and frequent enough for current occupancy levels.
- Disinfection protocols align with health guidelines, especially for high-touch areas.
- Proper cleaning products and equipment are being used for maximum effectiveness.
2. Deep Clean High-Traffic Areas
Kick off the year with a comprehensive deep clean, focusing on areas with the most foot traffic, such as:
- Lobbies and entrances
- Elevators and stairwells
- Restrooms and break rooms
- Conference rooms and shared workspaces This sets a baseline for cleanliness and can help prevent the spread of germs as winter illnesses circulate.
3. Focus on Indoor Air Quality
During the colder months, buildings are often sealed up tightly, leading to reduced airflow and potential indoor air quality issues. Ensure your cleaning efforts contribute to healthier air by:
- Regularly cleaning HVAC filters and vents.
- Using HEPA filters in vacuums.
- Incorporating green cleaning products that minimize chemical pollutants.
4. Reinforce Disinfection of High-Touch Surfaces
High-touch surfaces are hotspots for germ transmission. Make sure your cleaning team is prioritizing surfaces such as:
- Door handles and push plates
- Light switches
- Elevator buttons
- Handrails
- Shared technology (keyboards, phones, touchscreens)
