Main entrance

The first thing clients see when they enter a building is the entrance and foyer. Make the best impression by investing in a spotless entrance, cleaned regularly by a professional.

• Windows must be cleansed of grease marks and water staining; for this, a specialist window cleaning fluid is applied to make for perfectly transparent glass.
• Doors in modern buildings are often made of sleek glass and stainless steel and therefore need cleansing of fingerprints and grime in much the same way as windows – with a specifically formulated cleaning detergent.
• Surfaces, such as coffee tables and reception desks, are important to keep clean and not just for appearance’s sake; cleaning these vital areas maintains a high standard of hygiene.
• Floor mats stop people from tracking mess into the rest of the building, and as such require a good vacuuming everyday; either before or after business hours is best.
• Refuse bins are crucial for maintaining a tidy appearance. Bin liners must be removed and disposed of appropriately on a daily basis to avoid unpleasant sights and smells.

Stairs

Stairs are busy areas in the building and require care and attention when cleaning. They are worth the time and effort, however, because so much traffic passes through the stairwell.

• Stair and landing carpets are a first port of call because these areas collect the most dirt from people’s shoes. A thorough vacuuming and the occasional stain removal can make a world of difference.
• Hard floors require mopping with a quick drying detergent, as well as using the correct safety signage while the floor dries; once completed, all the grime and dirt is gone and is replaced by an impressive sheen.
• Glass panels give a contemporary and clean look, but only when washed regularly with warm water and cleaning solution.
• Bannisters, railings and dado rails benefit from dusting and a wipe down with antibacterial solution, since these fixtures are regularly handled to aid people up and down the stairs.
• Light fixtures become conspicuous when they are dirty and any build up of cobwebs and insect debris must be removed to maintain a hygienic environment.

Lifts

If you have a lift in your building, it probably does a great job of making your business more accessible for everyone. Because of heavy foot traffic, you get the most from your lift when it is kept spotless. A lift is typically a small space, so its level of hygiene is always noticed quicker than any other larger space in the building.

• Keypads and buttons are pressed by hundreds of people over their lifetime; without a thorough scrub, they can become dirty and unappealing.
• Walls and ceilings, especially those made of glass, stainless steel and mirror fixtures require dusting and wiping down multiple times to remove dirt and avoid streaking.

The team at JMS Cleaning Services have put together some of the jobs that will benefit the most from our professional office cleaning service so you can go home and get some rest instead of giving it a go yourself.

Window Cleaning

Making sure that your windows come out streak free and completely clear is difficult to achieve without professional tools and know-how. A large office will mean many panes of glass to clean, which takes time, dedication and technique to ensure every window is expertly dealt with.

It can also be treacherous to attempt to clean your office windows if you’re a few stories up. You likely don’t have substantial equipment at the ready and your confidence in heights might falter quickly, so having the professionals deal with your office windows will remove the risk. They will come fully prepared and outfitted for the job and will make both sides of the glass clearer than you could have imagined.

Carpet Cleaning

Giving your office carpet the once over with a vacuum cleaner might catch some of the mess lying on the surface, but over time an immense amount of dirt, grime and stains will build up and become embedded in the fibres. Dirt that has taken hold like this requires a lot of attention and only a professional cleaning service can ensure that every crumb, spill and stain is fully removed.

If it’s been a long while since the carpet underwent a full, proper clean, a professional office clean will get it back up to scratch. Periodic or daily cleans will help maintain your carpet so it will look constantly clean no matter what. You will certainly notice the difference when you bring in the professionals.

Kitchen Cleaning

There’s no telling how much grease, stains and food residue can build up in the office kitchens. Trying to clean up every surface, plate, cup, knife and fork would be an exhausting way to use up the rest of your lunch break, and the last thing you want to do after finishing up at work is wash the dishes and clear up bits of food before heading home and doing the same thing there.

It’s likely that you don’t have the proper equipment in the first place; a kitchen seeing constant use by many people can lead to thick grease, grimy walls and carbon or fat deposits which form a bacteria breeding ground. To fix up your kitchen and help prevent the buildup of hard to spot and remove layers of grime, a professional clean with specialist products is by far the easiest, most effective way.

Large scale cleaning

If you were to spend time after work trying to clean the entire office on your own, you’d be there into the next working day. Keeping your entire office clean is tough and needs the regular attention of those able to focus their energies on the different cleaning processes required. You will have the luxury of an entire team of cleaners when you choose a professional office cleaning service, and the work will be taken care of when you leave, so by the time you come in the next day, everything will feel much cleaner than when you left.

Deep cleaning

Sometimes you need something even more comprehensive than what’s on offer during a daily clean. If it’s been awhile since the last thorough clean, a one-off deep clean will help rejuvenate your office space. Don’t even think about trying to deal with this on your own; a deep clean requires stronger, more specialised equipment and needs to be handled with complete care. A deep clean is something only the pros can do, so if your office is in need of something drastic, it’s best to pick up that phone now!

JMS Cleaning Services are the North West’s leading professional cleaning company, providing a variety of cleaning services to suit the needs of any client. Our office cleaning services are comprehensive and can be performed daily or periodically.
