As we approach Christmas, many businesses will be shutting down in order to get some much-needed rest and relaxation. Lights off, doors locked; your staff head home to enjoy the Christmas break.
But what next? Many office buildings will be left empty for days and even weeks, which if left unattended can lead to an unpleasant and unclean environment to return to in the New Year.
The solution? A Christmas office deep-clean, of course.
Why do we need an office deep clean?
A deep clean is a professional standard of cleaning that is more extensive than everyday cleaning tasks. It is usually used in commercial settings where hygiene standards need to be met and there is contact with the public.
Our previous blog, which outlines the differences between domestic and commercial cleaning, highlights the fact that commercial cleaning often needs specialised, commercial grade equipment and products in order to complete a thorough clean.
Some of the benefits of deep cleaning include:
Minimising the spread of coronavirus
Cleaning services now have to include coronavirus measures in order to reduce transmission, minimise risk and comply with government guidelines.
Reducing the risk of foodborne diseases and pests
Regular deep clean vastly reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses such as E. coli, Norovirus and Salmonella. Pests are also an issue for mismanaged commercial kitchens. Stagnant food waste and bacteria build-up will attract rodents and insects. Identifying high-risk areas and addressing these within a deep clean will mitigate any pest infestations developing.
Ensuring compliance with health regulations
Compliance with health and safety regulations is important in reducing risk and protecting both employees and the public. The regulations are developed by local authorities, the food standards agency, trading standards and are monitored by environmental health officers. These organisations have a responsibility to ensure that these regulations are met, and can enforce closures if they are not.
Increasing customer confidence and reputation
Providing a clean environment for food preparation and dining spaces will create happy customers as well as happy employees.

Providing a clean and sanitised workplace can also be beneficial for your business. We outlined this in our previous blog: Productivity and perception: how a clean workplace can benefit your business.
