Right Equipment Makes For Easy Day Cleaning

At night, when the cleaner is alone, noise and trip-and-fall hazards aren’t a problem. But, during the day a loud vacuum can disrupt business can cords can cause safety concerns. Low-decibel machines can help keep the decibel level under 68, making that vacuum no louder than the average office commotion. Battery-powered machines will also eliminate trip hazards as cleaners move throughout the facility.
Day cleaning programs can also benefit from improved efficiency and the use of wide-area, ride-on or cart-based vacuums with hoses that allow for quick cubicle cleaning.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is another concern with day cleaning. To reduce contaminants floating in the air and upsetting workers in the area, janitors should not use dust mops or hand-held dusters. Instead, hard-surfaces should be vacuumed or cleaned with microfiber mops or wipes.
Chemical choices also affect IAQ. Microfiber can reduce chemical usage but it is important to go a step further and choose low-odor, no-VOC products. Whenever possible, the safest bet is to use only neutral cleaners and water.
