Reducing dusts and allergies are
one of the serious tasks that any office or home
cleaning business must be aware of. Seasonal
allergies and airborne irritants are mostly the
problems that create an unhealthy environment for
residential owners and office employees alike. Since
these dusts cannot be simply cleaned only through
sweeping and dusting, it’s time to let office or
home cleaning services to come in.
This is where owners of office or home cleaning get
their earnings: through getting rid of these dusts
and irritants. Take note that clients are relying on
you to get rid of those unnecessary dusts that will
hamper their health, so it’s a must that you perform
a good, quality work to ensure your client’s safety.
Clients don’t have any idea that one effective
strategy to control any amount of dust in the air is
prevention. You might want to suggest your clients
to use walk off mats. This allows people to grim and
walks off any dusts before entering the place. Most
walk off mats is available in janitorial supply
stores, wholesale clubs, and home décor stores. And
as a cleaner, you may vacuum or shake out the rug to
clean off any dirt.
Another preventive measure that clients overlook is
the cleaning of HVAC filters. Once the air filters
cannot absorb all the unwanted dusts, they start to
circulate within the area, and this creates more
problems for those who come into the area. When you
clean a filter, remove it from the system and
inspect it for any damages. Remove excess dusts
using a damp cloth. Suggest this to your client that
they should clean filters for at least a month; or
change them every six months to a year.
Aside from these preventive measures, as an office
or residential cleaning service owner, you may do
the regular cleaning program such as dusting of the
space to naturally keep airborne irritants and dusts
low. Also, to prevent yourself from getting these
allergies and inhale it, use a mask to protect your
health, and your business as well. You may use
feather dusting – a simplest method where you have
to clean hard to reach places; or a slightly damp
microfiber towel for dusting, which absorbs dirt and
reduces the amount of dust into the air.
Wipe all surfaces: from the ceiling fans to the
light fixtures. Be sure that you won’t knock out any
objects. Don’t forget to clean also wall art,
furniture, and other items around the room.
When dusting is done, do vacuuming. Make a pattern
when doing this task. Start from the furthest corner
and smaller corners. Be sure that you don’t miss any
part of the room as you leave it.
Once cleaning is done, you can now relax and be
thankful that another efficient job is done.
