In every busy workplace, there are areas that see constant foot traffic — places where dust, dirt, and germs love to hide. Even with regular janitorial service, these spots often go unnoticed, slowly impacting your office’s cleanliness and overall health.
At Red Door Cleaning, we specialize in thorough, detail-oriented commercial cleaning in Edmonton and surrounding areas. Here are the five high-traffic zones that most cleaners overlook — and how our team ensures they’re spotless every time.
1. Elevator Buttons and Door Handles
These small surfaces are some of the most frequently touched areas in any building. From morning arrivals to end-of-day departures, dozens (or even hundreds) of hands touch the same buttons and handles daily.
While many cleaning crews focus on floors and desks, these touchpoints often receive a quick wipe at best.
At Red Door Cleaning, we use hospital-grade disinfectants and touchpoint cleaning protocols to sanitize high-contact areas multiple times per service. This helps prevent the spread of germs and keeps your workspace healthier year-round.
2. Office Kitchens and Break Rooms
Coffee spills, crumbs, and microwaved lunches — your break room is a magnet for bacteria. Many cleaners give it a general wipe-down, but appliances, cabinet handles, and refrigerator seals often get missed.
Our cleaning specialists deep-clean kitchen surfaces, sanitize appliances inside and out, and even clean behind and under equipment to eliminate hidden grime. A clean kitchen means happier, healthier employees — and fewer unwanted odors.
3. Under Desks and Behind Office Equipment
You’d be surprised what hides beneath desks or behind computer stations. Dust, cords, crumbs, and even discarded papers can pile up unnoticed, affecting air quality and appearance.
Our team takes time to move lightweight furniture and vacuum thoroughly, using HEPA-filtered equipment to remove dust and allergens. We make sure even the spots you can’t see stay spotless.
4. Stair Railings and Light Switches
Just like door handles, stair railings and switches are touched constantly throughout the day. However, many cleaning crews skip these details during routine service.
We include detailed touchpoint disinfection as part of every visit — not as an add-on. By targeting railings, switches, and other commonly missed areas, we help reduce germ transfer across your workspace.
5. Entryways and Floor Mats
First impressions start at the front door. Entryways collect dirt, salt, and moisture, especially during Alberta’s long winters. If not cleaned properly, they can quickly wear down floors and carpets.
Red Door Cleaning provides routine mat cleaning, floor mopping, and polishing designed for high-traffic commercial spaces. Our team ensures your entry always reflects the professionalism of your business.
Why Red Door Cleaning Does It Better
We believe commercial cleaning should be consistent, customized, and accountable. That’s why our services are tailored to each client’s building layout and workflow. Our staff are trained to notice what others miss — because details matter.
Whether you manage an office, retail space, or multi-unit building, Red Door Cleaning delivers spotless results you can see and feel.
