    How to Keep Your NYC Office Clean

    If you’re trying to learn more about how to keep an NYC office clean, it’s important to focus on the essential elements of office cleaning. These include mopping, dusting, vacuuming, and sanitizing. The best practices for cleaning offices include a floor-to-ceiling approach customized to the size and type of office.

    At SanMar Building Services, we provide commercial cleaning services for all New York City offices. Our know-how and efficiency make us an affordable choice if you’re ready to outsource your office cleaning. When some companies take a one-size-fits-all approach, we listen to our clients and customize.

    Daily checklists and an understanding of usage matter because cleaner offices don’t happen by accident. We also understand that some seasons may be busier for you than others, and we will adjust our services as needed. The goal is to ensure you always have a clean and comfortable work environment.

    The 3 Major Parts of Cleaning Offices

    Maintaining things well requires daily service covering the three major parts of cleaning offices. All are needed to make an excellent impression on employees and visitors. Your company’s reputation depends on details like neat and tidy premises, including your offices.

    Mopping, sweeping, and vacuuming for office floors.

    Floor care includes hard floors and carpeted areas that need equal attention. Floors are the most visible elements. Hard surfaces require mopping and polishing, while carpets and rugs need daily vacuuming.

    Cleaning surfaces above the floor such as desks, countertops, and cabinets.

    Above-the-floor cleaning covers things at eye level and includes dusting and wiping down desks, countertops, workstations, conference rooms, and reception areas—things people touch and notice if left dusty or dirty.

    NYC restroom cleaning services. Sanitizing and disinfecting.

    Sanitizing restrooms is essential and one of the most talked-about areas of commercial cleaning. People expect clean, fresh-smelling restrooms that are disinfected routinely with antimicrobial products.

    Our technicians are trained to cover all three areas, and we’ll adjust the service level to meet your needs. For example, if you have a high-end interior with wood furniture, we’ll add specialized products and furniture polishing to the above-the-floor cleaning plan.

    Cleaning Hard Floors Right Takes Know-How

    When linoleum became obsolete, the trend in office floors was toward increased use of terrazzo, natural stone (slate, marble, etc.), concrete, and newer vinyl products that look better. The changes brought an update to floor cleaning products and methods because linoleum was uncomplicated to maintain.

    Our floor care experts have the know-how and equipment to clean and maintain office floors of all types, including slate and marble, that require specific techniques. If your hard floors have been damaged by improper cleaning, we also offer restoration services to return them to their original beauty.

    SanMar Crews Arrive Well-Equipped and Knowledgeable.

    Time of year and weather conditions also impact. If employees and guests track in salt and ice melter, it can stain and damage floors unless appropriately cleaned. When our technicians visit your office daily, they’ll keep up with all the needed hard floor mopping and polishing.

    Clean Furniture and Counters Get Noticed

    Visible dust and dirt at eye level make an instant impression, and that’s why the above-the-floor portion of office cleaning is crucial. Therefore, we wipe, polish (and sanitize if requested) all visible surfaces. Eradicating dust mites reduces allergens, and it’s more sanitary and pleasant to touch clearer surfaces.

    • Dusting desks and workstations
    • Wiping down workstations and keyboards
    • Polishing wood surfaces
    • Removing fingerprints and smudges

    You can help the process by decluttering surfaces and avoiding practices like using your conference room tables for storage. Spaces free from clutter allow cleaning technicians to do their jobs better. Also, many non-wood hard surfaces can be sanitized if you want to add them to your daily checklist.
