As a commercial property manager you are responsible for the condition of those commercial floors. Maybe you have a maintenance department that takes care of the washing, waxing, buffing, stripping, and every other aspect of keeping those commercial floors looking sparkly and shiny every day of the year.
If you take a closer look at just about any commercial facility in, you will probably notice a pattern. While the floors in the common walking areas may be incredibly clean and well-maintained, what about along the edges, along the baseboards, and even partway up on the walls?
These have a tendency to be overlooked and can gather a collection of dust, cobwebs, and other foreign particulates that can then be transferred to the floor or even kicked up into the air where people will breathe it.
It’s a good idea to invest in the proper equipment to clean those baseboards properly. It’s also important to focus on what is overhead.
Take a look up in your commercial facility. You will notice the ceiling, whether it is a drop ceiling or some other surface, maybe some ceiling fans, but if you notice along the walls towards the top portion of the ceiling or in the ceiling itself you will see air-conditioning and heating vents.
If these are not cleaned on a consistent basis, the air quality inside your facility is not going to be as high as it could be. So while you’re spending all of this time focused on maintaining the floors in this commercial facility, it’s not doing anything to improve indoor air quality.
All of that dust and dirt that is accumulating on those air-conditioning and heating vents will also make their way back down onto the floor, maybe even during those overnight hours.
Make sure your maintenance personnel spend at least some time thoroughly cleaning those events every month.
