COVID-19 has shaken longstanding socio-cultural and ethical norms, forcing humans to evolve to a ‘new normal.’ CDC’s guidelines recurrently highlight the importance of “cleaning and disinfecting areas…routinely.” Traditionally recognized as an invisible service, professional cleaning is now deemed an essential business amid the global health crisis.
These underappreciated workers risking their lives to provide reliable house cleaning services to people are no less than the frontline heroes of 2020. Cleaning, once considered tedious, mundane, and an inconvenient task taken for granted by many, is now reckoned to be of utmost importance.
Let’s look at a few ways the pandemic has highlighted the need to clean.
Residential Cleaning
Deep cleaning is essential to keep bacteria, allergens, and pests out of the house. It’s equally important to use proper protective equipment to avoid cross-contamination.
Make sure to wipe off all electronic gadgets, particularly your cellphones, with disinfecting wipes. While you can’t use sprays on them, alcohol wipes work best in killing bacteria from tech gadgets.
Always wash your clothes immediately once you enter the house. Use warm water and disinfectants to regularly wash bed linens, blinds, towels, curtains, and upholstery.
Hiring a house cleaning service is recommended as they know how to vacuum and scrub the floors thoroughly. Most people almost always forget to clean the skirting boards, appliance handles, doors, trash cans. They also adopt several DIY cleaning rituals and buy popular cleaning agents, but professional maids always stick to a routine that allows them to cover everything thoroughly. With better cleaning solutions and sanitization techniques, professional maids can make houses spotless, germless, and odorless!
Professional Cleaning
Organizations that still need to operate from office premises are taking sufficient steps to keep their facilities sanitized to maintain a safe work environment in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Walking into a workplace with a neat and clean carpet, pristine desks, no clutter or overflowing trash, and no bad smells creates a subtle impact leading to a good impression on customers and higher confidence in your business.
EPA reports have alerted that indoor air quality pollutants are among the top five risks to human health in the USA. Contaminated air not only makes employees recurrently sick but also affects productivity. Clean, pure, pleasant-smelling air significantly increases productivity by escalating human cognitive function.
Pathogens, dirt, mold, debris, and allergens in the air duct need systematic advanced cleaning systems. Businesses have also shown concern and are choosing environmentally-friendly cleaning agents. A professional cleaning service, such as Budget Maids, always uses ‘green’ products so that no toxins that can potentially trigger reactions in employees linger in the air.
