Flu Season is Here: Keep Your Commercial Building Clean

Well, just like it does every year, flu season has descended upon us. To keep your customers and employees safe by reducing the spread of germs, here are some tips to ensure your commercial building in Nashville area remains clean throughout winter. And as always, if you don’t have the resources to do this yourself, hire a trusted commercial cleaning company in Nashville, TN to do it for you. 

Use Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer is a quick, easy way to keep your workers’ hands clean as they go about their business, typing on their computers, talking on the phone and shaking clients’ hands. Place sanitizer dispensers in high-touch areas and encourage everyone to sanitize frequently. 

Wipe Down Desks, Phones, and Door Handles

Desks, phones, and handles are all considered high-touch areas. Phones are the worst because people put them to their mouths and faces. Routinely wipe down these high-touch areas after use, keeping proper hygiene practices in mind during flu season.

Encourage the Use of Personal Water Bottles

Public water fountains and bubblers are teeming with germs, from the spout itself to the button people press to dispense water. Ask your employees to bring their own water bottles to work, and frequently clean public water fountains for people who continue to use it.

Don’t Use Sponges

When cleaning high-touch areas such as countertops, fridge handles and microwave handles, use disposable disinfecting products such as wipes, paper towels, and disinfectant spray. Stay away from sponges, which can harbor bacteria.

Vacuum Often

To remove airborne allergens, be sure to vacuum regularly with state-of-the-art HEPA filter vacuums that can trap dust, mold, and bacteria more efficiently.

Hire a Professional Commercial Cleaning Company

It can be time consuming and unproductive to handle the cleaning of your own commercial building. You likely don’t have the proper cleaning supplies and equipment to do a thorough job. While you can encourage your employees to sanitize their own work areas and desks, the task of cleaning the entire facility should fall to a professional.

Professional commercial cleaning companies bring the right equipment and supplies to properly clean the space and make it germ-free throughout flu season. They are trained in the proper techniques and can get the job done quickly and efficiently so you can remain productive. 

They can even use eco-friendly green cleaning supplies to keep your employees and customers as safe as possible. With your time freed up, you can concentrate on growing your business and ensuring you have healthy employees to help you.
