Spring has arrived and so it is time for spring cleaning. At home, everyone has their own cleaning routine and this sometimes causes certain spots to be overlooked. However, Cleaning Masters‘ cleaners who operate in companies, shops, schools, hospitals and so on are well aware of these hidden dirt accumulations. Whether it is the kitchen, washrooms or the outdoor environment, there are always places that are easily forgotten and require extra attention during spring cleaning.
Spring cleaning in sanitary areas
The sanitary areas of your home or building require regular thorough cleaning. Not only in places where many different people use the toilets and showers, but also for your own personal hygiene. Even in these areas, there are a lot of hidden places where dirt, dust and moisture can accumulate.
When cleaning floor and wall tiles during spring cleaning, it is important not to forget the joints between the tiles and the silicone kit edges. Over time, cracks and gaps can appear in these, allowing dirt, dust and moisture to find their way in. When this happens, repairing damage only becomes more difficult.
When cleaning a toilet, are you aware of what to look out for? Not only the toilet seat and the inside should be clean. It is also important to clean well under the toilet seat and around the fixing points. The same principle applies to a shower: not only the floor and tiles, but also the shower head and hose should be cleaned regularly to prevent limescale.
Spring cleaning in the kitchen
Apart from the toilet and bathroom, the kitchen is also an area where hygiene is crucial. Not only the kitchen worktop and cabinets deserve attention during spring cleaning, but also the less obvious details require the right approach. Think about the filters and edges of the extractor hood, the handles of cabinets and doors, the rubber edges of the dishwasher, fridge or oven and the areas under your kitchen equipment. Grease, dirt and dust can accumulate in these areas, making your kitchen quickly less hygienic.
In the common areas
General office cleaning is a weekly task for a lot of companies. Just think of polishing the floors, tidying the office spaces and vacuuming the mats. But do you also pay enough attention to the details? Dust and dirt also accumulate behind or under your office furniture, as well as on the tops of skirting boards and door frames.
In addition, electronic devices, such as computer mice, keyboards and remote controls, are breeding grounds for bacteria. Regular and thorough cleaning of these surfaces contributes to a hygienic working environment.
In the garden and beyond
A good first impression on customers, visitors and employees starts with a well-kept outdoor environment. Ensure a neat appearance by maintaining your greenery well and placing your waste bins and containers discreetly out of sight. However, remember that these also need to stay clean. Ensure regular thorough cleaning to avoid stubborn dirt, mould and pests.
It is also important to maintain the doormats at your entrance well. Dirt, dust and moisture often enter via this route and can leave an unhygienic impression. With a well-maintained entrance, you contribute to a neat and professional appearance!
