What is the one thing that if you did it today would radically improve your commercial property’s ability to attract and retain the best tenants?

This is a question property managers spend a lot of time looking for answers to. But the truth is, there is no magical formula to instantaneously transform a commercial property into a magnet for businesses. Instead of one phenomenally successful tip, several small actions come together to make a commercial property irresistible to tenants.

Too often, however, property managers think they must invest all their energies on big things that cost a lot of money at the expense of small steps that they can take immediately. While your marketing, networking, and referral systems are important, they should not replace simple actions that impact the quality of the rental at a more basic level.

For instance, when was the last time you thought of using the cleanliness of your premises as a way to attract bigger and better-paying tenants? After you have spent hours polishing your company’s image and building innovative marketing programs, something as basic as how clean the building is can make or break your efforts.

From the viewpoint of the businesses that will rent or are renting your property, how clean the premises are weighs more than the promises you adverts make. Potential tenants often base their decisions to rent an office or commercial premises on how clean it is. They know that how neat a building is will affect their business’ performance.

How you approach cleaning in a commercial property:

• Defines the first impression the property makes on tenant’s employees and customers.
• Determines the caliber of businesses that are willing to rent space in your premises
• Impacts the productivity of your tenant’s staff.
• Helps customers feel comfortable and happy to spend time on the premises.

The sum of these benefits is the businesses on your premises make more money. If tenant’s businesses perform well, they will be less likely to leave and your property management business will be more profitable, as a result. Given how vital the cleanliness of your commercial property is to you and your tenants’ business, what is the best strategy for cleaning the building?

Should you clean it yourself or use amateur cleaners, as a way of saving costs? Or is it better to hire a professional cleaning company to handle all aspects of cleaning on the property? The best way to clean a commercial property is to let a professional cleaning company oversee the cleaning of the building. Why is this?

Reasons to hire a professional cleaner for your commercial property

The professional cleaner represents your tenant’s brand

The maintenance team in a commercial property doesn’t just represent you; they also represent the businesses that operate from the property. The quality of people you employ to work in the premises can attract or repel customers. Professional cleaning companies are very professional and will represent you and your tenants’ brands properly.

A professional cleaner maintains the highest standard of cleanliness

The people who work or do business in a building all have their different definitions of what cleanliness is. A professional cleaner will clean the premises beyond your tenants’ or their customers’ highest expectations. A professional cleaning company will implement the level of cleanliness usually seen in top restaurants and hotels.

Minimum interference with tenant’s business

Professional cleaners know how to clean the premises without getting in the way of your tenants, their staff, and customers. They will keep the entire premises spotlessly clean without interrupting the flow of business or disturbing anyone. This ensures a consistent level of cleanliness while enhancing the productivity of the businesses in the building.

They keep the premises sanitary

Because commercial buildings draw a lot of human traffic, it is easy for germs to spread in such buildings. A professional cleaning company has the skills and tools to keep all surfaces in the building sanitary. They will quickly and effectively disinfect railings, door handles, restrooms, and other areas of the building where pathogens tend to lurk.

Professional cleaners will save you money

Professional cleaners clean with speed without compromising quality. They can reduce wear and tear on the surfaces of the building. They know the best cleaning methods for all materials on the premises and will modify their approach, depending on what they are cleaning. This can slow the deterioration of the components of your building.

They let you focus on what is important

When you hire a professional cleaner, you don’t need to supervise them, as you would an amateur cleaner. A professional cleaner gives you the chance to spend time building your business rather than spending it mopping floors. By hiring a professional cleaner, you buy room to become more professional and profitable.

In summary, hiring a professional cleaning company helps you become a sought-after property manager because it lets you have the better of two worlds. You can give time to developing your core competencies while maintaining the highest standards in your commercial property.

Cleaning a medical clinic is not the same as cleaning any other commercial business. The standards and stakes are higher when it comes to ensuring medical clinics are properly clean. There are so many important things that go on in medical clinics and ensuring everything is clean and sanitized should be a top priority. Hiring a professional medical clinic cleaning company like Red Door Cleaning can ensure the clinic is clean and sanitized. Having a clean medical clinic shows patients that you are serious about their health and there are many things to ensure your clinic looks clean.

Using Gloves

Whenever you are dealing with patients or equipment you should always wear gloves. Disposable gloves are the best to use as you can dispose of them which will help prevent the spread of germs in the medical clinic.

Levels of Cleanliness

Different areas in your medical clinic may not require the same attention or level of cleaning as other areas. Patient rooms will probably require more attention and a higher level of cleaning than an administrative office that is not used by patients. Treatment rooms are not the only place that should receive extra attention. Patient waiting rooms should be cleaned regularly as they can attract germs from patients waiting to see their doctor as well as ensuring restrooms remain clean as well.

Wash Your Hands

Everyone should be washing their hand with soap regularly and patients who visit the medical clinic should be encouraged to do the same. Having hand sanitizing stations available in the medical clinic can also help prevent the spread of germs.

Using the Right Cleaning Products

Use a Checklist

For all our clients Red Door Cleaning can come up with a custom cleaning plan when we go in and clean. But during the day when the clinic is in use it will most likely be the staff who are responsible for ensuring certain areas of the clinic are clean. The staff at the clinic should check off a list of their assigned cleaning tasks they are responsible for during the day. This can also help Red Door Cleaning when we go in and clean and sanitize the entire medical clinic.

Keeping your office as clean as possible especially during a global pandemic is essential for the health and safety of the people in the office. Keeping high contact surfaces clean and disinfected is crucial as contracting pathogens like COVID-19 can be as easy as touching a n infected surface. Routinely making s

COVID-19 can survive longer on surfaces and this is especially bad for high contact surfaces. You can acquire the virus through physical contact, and it spreads further from person to person via droplets. In an office we use our hands everyday to complete our tasks. Our hands are the most accessible part of contact which is why it is important to keep a tidy office space and to ensure you are washing or sanitizing your hands. The best way to keep safe of the virus is to keep yourself and your workspace clean.

When hiring a commercial cleaning company, they may use the terms “cleaning” or “sanitizing” and you may think they mean the same thing since they are used interchangeably. The reality is cleaning, and sanitizing go hand in hand but there is also a difference between the two. Hiring a commercial cleaning company like Red Door Cleaning which provides both cleaning and sanitization is ideal in keeping your office clean and sanitized during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Office Cleaning

For some commercial cleaning companies, the word cleaning means to make things clear of anything dirty, but this does not mean that they will also sanitize those dirty areas. Cleaning includes tidying up objects or debris that can make a place messy. In an office setting this could mean cleaning up clutter and dust off a desk to clear up any loose items to make it clear again.

Office Sanitizing

Sanitizing does incorporate the same actions as cleaning about getting rid of impurities on a surface, but it is important to know the differences. Consider sanitizing as deep cleaning of a surface using disinfectant products. When sanitizing the endgame is to make objects, surfaces, and areas around your office free from pathogens as possible whereas with cleaning the focus is on getting rid of dirt or impurities that are visible on the surface. Sanitizing your office mean keeping it virus free by killing off microorganisms that will affect your health.

Building operators or managers understand that office cleaning can influence the individuals who work there during office hours. Therefore, some will opt for nightly office cleaning, but which is the better choice?

Day Office Cleaning Benefits

Day office cleaning comes with its own benefits including energy savings, workers efficiency, improves response time, and enhanced security during the night.

Increased Workers Efficiency

Offices will include washrooms, workplaces, and other high touchpoints where employees and clients will use throughout the day. Washrooms will most likely start the day clean but become dirty as the day goes by. The benefit with day office cleaning is dust and dirt get cleaned right away. Cleaner workplaces to have an effect on the employees and those who work in buildings with day cleaners find it more pleasant and work more efficiently in cleaner environments.

Better Response Time

As mentioned before places like washrooms, workplaces, and high touch point areas will get dirty during the day. Having day cleaners ensure that these high traffic areas are kept clean throughout the day. If you have ever experienced an employee spill their coffee on the carpet or deal with a malfunctioning air conditioning unit causing flooding in the conference room then the benefit with having day cleaners is you can have the spot cleaned fairly quickly. Also, garbage cans will be regularly emptied out throughout the day.

Night Office Cleaning Benefits

Day office cleaning has become popular among building operators and managers but many still opt for nightly office cleaning as it works better for them.

Reduced Disturbance

Cleaning equipment can be loud and make noise when used which can be distracting and cause problems for employees trying to focus on their work. Cleaning equipment like vacuums which are loud when in use can raise complaints from employees during office hours. There are other situations where your employees could be focused on a certain task and a cleaner enters the office and starts wiping things down and moving items while creating noise in the process. With night office cleaning disruptions like this are entirely avoided and your employees can be focused on their work. Cleaning things like carpets, upholstery maintenance, vacuum cleaning, washrooms, kitchens are best done when there is no one in the building.

Time Saving

Possible disruption does not only happen to employees with cleaners around it can also go the other way. While walking through the hallway of your building you may have come across a cleaner mopping the floor. There is no other way for you to get to your destination so you have to walk over the newly mopped floor leaving footsteps behind and in some cases making the cleaner clean that part of the floor again. You want your employees to enjoy a clean office, but you do not want them tripping over the cleaning personnel either. With nightly office cleaning, cleaners can work more efficiently and not have to worry about disruptions from others. Cleaning surfaces and mopping high traffic areas can be done faster with no disruptions.

Health & Safety

Cleaning crews will have the necessary protection for all scenarios whereas office employees will not. When cleaning in higher places such as ceiling fans or light fixtures the cleaners will be wearing the proper gear necessary for the task in case something was to fall. Office employees in the near vicinity will not and could be put at risk and nighttime cleaning saves them from that risk. Also, cleaners will be wearing gloves and safety goggles while they work while your employees will not. You will never have to worry about this with nightly office cleaning as your employees will not be affected by the cleaning.  Nearly 20 million people are allergic to dust mites so someone in your building might not appreciate daytime dusting due to health issues. Consider nightly office cleaning for better health and safety.

In commercial buildings and offices, your floors are constantly being walked on and used which can lead to them wearing down quicker if not properly maintained. Floor stripping and waxing services are one of the many methods used to make floors look new again.

Helps Prevent Scratches

With constant foot traffic combined with other actions like moving furniture or other large items can lead to scratches appearing on your floors. These actions can leave your floor looking very worn out however with regular stripping and waxing services you can get rid of any unwanted scratches and leave your floor looking great all the time. The wax forms a protective layer over your floor that will help protect it from sustaining scratches as people walk over it or when you move objects along the floor.

Helps Prevent Tile Lifting

Your floor tiles are constantly exposed to the elements like water and dirt which not only affect the way they look but over time can cause your tiles to lift and become loose. When this happens water can easily leak through the cracks that form which will then weaken the glue that holds your tiles together thus causing the tile to become loose. With regular floor waxing, you can prevent this from happening as the wax will help block any water from entering any cracks thus preventing the glue to become weak.

Helps Prevent Discolouration & Staining

Without the floor protection, you receive from routine waxing and stripping services your floors can lose their shine and be discoloured with constant traffic on the surface. This is caused by debris and dirt wearing down the protective floor coating however with regular waxing you can always maintain the shine.
