What are the Steps to a Clean Office?

How to Clean Office Floors

Work environments feature a mix of flooring types, each with unique benefits. Office carpets add warmth and reduce noise, ideal for comfortable and quiet spaces. Hard floors, such as vinyl, laminate, and stone, offer a sleek look and easy maintenance, perfect for high-traffic and hygiene-critical areas. Proper cleaning, that can be achieved with our professional cleaning machines, are essential to preserve the appearance and durability of each flooring type.

What is the Difference Between a Carpet Cleaner and a Carpet Extractor?

In the realm of professional carpet cleaning, understanding the distinction between a carpet cleaning machine and a carpet extractor machine is crucial for selecting the right equipment for your needs. A carpet cleaner typically refers to a machine that applies a mixture of water and a cleaning solution to the carpet to break down dirt and stains before vacuuming up the liquid along with the dislodged debris. This process is suitable for general cleaning and maintenance of carpeted areas.

On the other hand, a carpet extractor goes a step further by employing a more intensive cleaning method. It injects water and cleaning agents deep into the carpet fibres under high pressure, then extracts the solution along with deeply embedded dirt, grime, and allergens. Carpet extractors are particularly effective for heavily soiled or stained carpets, providing a deeper clean than standard carpet cleaners. Both machines play pivotal roles in carpet maintenance, with the choice between them depending on the specific condition and cleaning requirements of the carpeting.

How to Clean Surfaces in Offices

Cleaning surfaces not only enhances their appearance but also preserves their value and is crucial in preventing some contact infections. Wiping with a damp cloth and spray is an efficient method for removing loose or partially adhered dirt from desks, sideboards, or cable ducts. It conserves time, cleaning agents, and water, while ensuring high hygiene levels. Cleaning agents can either be pre-dosed to avoid waste and environmental harm or sprayed directly onto the cloth—three sprays are usually enough—before wiping surfaces. For tougher dirt, wet wiping with a preconditioned cloth is effective, moving the cloth in arcs across the surface or vertically from top to bottom. The cloth can be folded to create multiple clean sides for use, and once all sides are used, it should be replaced with a fresh one. Protective gloves should be worn based on the cleaning agent.

For surfaces with settled loose dirt, dust-binding cloths, especially those impregnated with adhesive, are effective for dust removal without the need for water or chemicals. Regularly cleaned surfaces can be maintained with a single dust-binding cloth across multiple rooms. These cloths also work well on smooth floors, and gloves are not required for this type of cleaning.

Cleaning The Touch Points

Critical “touchpoint” treatment focuses on frequently used surfaces for cleaning or disinfecting. When chemical disinfection is necessary, various disinfectants can be used, some of which are effective against enveloped viruses depending on their specific formulation. Additionally, steam cleaners and steam vacuum cleaners offer a highly effective and efficient means of maintaining hygiene and combating germs and viruses, thanks to their high cleaning temperatures. The advantage of steam is its ability to penetrate hard-to-reach areas, ensuring a comprehensive clean. We recommend the Kärcher SG4/4 Steam Cleaner which offers deep and hygienic cleaning.

Sustainability and Office Cleaning

The cleaning industry is progressively embracing sustainability and innovation, recognising the inherent value of cleaning in preserving the functionality and value of buildings, facilities, and machinery. This shift towards sustainable management aligns efficiency with environmental stewardship, focusing on reducing operational costs while enhancing cleaning outcomes. The adoption of power- and water-saving technologies, alongside modern procedures, and ergonomically designed machines, illustrates the industry’s commitment to reducing environmental impact and supporting worker well-being. Some examples are energy efficient machines, including battery operated machines, eco-friendly detergents, and self-operating machines that can work at an optimum use of energy.
