Office cleaning involves more than just the standard brushing, sanitization of surfaces, vacuuming, or making sure windows are sparkling clean. Professional cleaners go further than this. They understand the importance of carrying out a deep cleaning job. Why is this important? Well, a clean office has less clutter, which helps your brain to focus on the current task. This results in increased productivity for the benefit of all. Besides, some corners of your office are difficult to reach, which makes cleaning them a challenge. However, a professional cleaning service understands what it takes to clean such areas. Below are nine areas of your office that have hardly been cleaned in years.
 

1. Door Handles

Often when cleaning doors, handles are overlooked, and yet these are breeding grounds for germs and dirt. Since people use door handles often, the transmission of germs from one individual to another is common. In fact, research conducted by Worcester Polytech Institute found 1,323 colonies of bacteria on 27 door handles on a university campus with high human traffic. Luckily, having your door handles cleaned daily minimizes the risk of spreading germs in an office.

2. The Space Behind the Radiators

Cleaning the area behind the radiators is a tricky and difficult task. Yet deep cleaning this area is critical if you want to minimize dust in the office. According to the World Health Organization, about 11% of asthma cases are triggered by gas, fumes, and workplace dust. This translates into missed workdays as employees stay home to recuperate. Regularly hire cleaners to keep office radiators clear of annoying dust away.

3. Behind Computer Monitors

The dark corners behind employees' computer monitors are notorious for storing dust. This space is easy to overlook when wiping desk surfaces. A closer inspection is likely to reveal a build-up of dirt and dust, which could be a health hazard to staff with allergies.

4. Carpets

Because carpets are extremely filthy, 10% of the entire market is taken up by carpet cleaning, according to ComfyLiving. When cleaning your carpet, a professional cleaner will first spot-clean the stains and then vacuum to get rid of dirt, debris, loose soil, and dust. If this is not done, dirt will be moved around and pushed deep into the fibers. Special treatment is required to remove stains such as tar, pet accidents, and oil. For the best results, let a professional office cleaning company do the job.

5. Ceiling Fan Blades

These usually collect allergens, pollen, and dust mites that pollute the air quality in an office. However, most people forget the ceiling fan due to the fact that it's hard to reach. Nonetheless, professional office cleaners have tools that can fetch dirt and dust from these fans.

6. Window Tracks and Sliding Doors

Sliding doors and window tracks accumulate grime and dirt particles that are extremely difficult to get rid of. It's difficult to clean the tight space inside the tracks. As dirt and grime accumulate, sliding doors and windows become a challenge to open and shut. Again, professional office cleaners have the appropriate tools for taking care of this space.

7. Behind the Toilet

This often overlooked area is one of the most difficult to reach and clean. It requires a special mop that can reach the corners behind your toilet and eliminate dirt and accumulated dust. Fortunately, this is not the first time a professional cleaner has dealt with such a task.

8. Window Blinds

The slats of your window blinds are extremely difficult to clean. They can go for years without cleaning. A thorough office cleaning job must involve attending to this difficult-to-reach, often-neglected area. Given the fact that most people forget to clean this area, it's best to leave the task to a professional office cleaning service. They know exactly where to find areas that are usually ignored during routine clean-ups.

9. Cabinet Tops

This is another area that's often neglected during office cleaning, which is why you should let a professional do the job. Usually, grime, dust, and loose debris gather on top of cabinet surfaces that are not easily accessible.

There are many nooks and crevices in your office that have gone without cleaning for years. Usually, such places are hard-to-reach, which explains why they are often neglected. However, a professional cleaner has the tools and experience of cleaning such areas. They also have the expertise required to do a thorough job.
