The Essence of Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is a tradition rooted in the desire for a clean and orderly environment, symbolizing a fresh start. It’s a chance to eliminate the clutter and dirt that have accumulated over the year, especially in the hidden corners that often get overlooked during routine cleaning. For businesses, it’s an opportunity to present a welcoming and professional face to the world, enhancing customer and employee satisfaction. The benefits of spring cleaning are manifold, including improved air quality, increased productivity, and a sense of well-being and calm.

Step-by-Step Guide to a Thorough Spring Clean

1. Create a Customized Cleaning Plan

Start with a comprehensive plan tailored to your specific needs. Inventory the areas of your home or business that require attention, and list tasks for each room or section. Prioritizing tasks ensures that you focus on areas that require the most work or are critical for your day-to-day operations.

2. Declutter Before You Clean

A clutter-free environment is easier to clean and maintain. Sort through belongings, paperwork, and inventory, deciding what to keep, donate, or discard. This not only simplifies the cleaning process but also contributes to a more organized and efficient space.

3. Focus on Deep Cleaning for Health

Spring cleaning is an excellent time to focus on areas that affect the health of your environment. This includes deep cleaning carpets, upholstery, and air ducts to remove allergens and dust mites. Pay special attention to sanitizing surfaces in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-traffic areas to minimize the spread of germs and bacteria.

4. Tackle Overlooked Areas for a Comprehensive Clean

Don’t forget about the places that are easy to overlook during regular cleaning. This includes the tops of cabinets, light fixtures, baseboards, and behind appliances. Cleaning these areas not only contributes to the overall cleanliness of your space but also helps in preventing the accumulation of dust and pests.

5. Invest in Professional Cleaning for Optimal Results

Certain tasks, such as window cleaning, carpet and upholstery cleaning, and high-dusting, can be challenging and time-consuming. Corvus Janitorial Systems offers a range of professional cleaning services that can help you achieve the best results. Our trained professionals use the latest techniques and eco-friendly products to ensure your space is not only clean but also safe and healthy.

Spring Cleaning 2025: Tips and Checklists

by

Spring is in the air, and while most of us are familiar with the concept of spring cleaning in our homes, the practice is just as, if not more, important in office spaces, schools, daycares, and other commercial facilities. Spring cleaning in 2025 presents some unique challenges; many businesses that have been working from home or hybrid-working for three-plus years are returning to the office in full-force. But don’t fret! Corvus is here to help your business kick-start its spring-cleaning regimen with our updated Spring 2025 Cleaning Tips and Checklist!

The Importance of Commercial Spring Cleaning in 2025

Commercial spaces are arguably germier and require more frequent cleaning and disinfecting than our living rooms. So, why is commercial spring cleaning talked about and prepared for so much less? Surely, it’s just as important, if not more so.

There are plenty of reasons to add spring cleaning to your office or school’s to-do list, and some of them might surprise you. Sure, it’s no surprise that cleaning improves the air quality in your commercial space. This improvement will likely freshen up the space, making you, your employees, students, customers, patients, and other visitors feel better.

But did you know that spring cleaning is also shown to increase productivity? It’s no gimmick, they’ve done studies. Getting rid of things that you no longer need and reorganizing the things you do need makes it easier to find what you’re looking for, naturally enhancing productivity.

Dusting things off and cleaning up shared spaces not only improves air quality and reduces the spread of germs, but also helps improve efficiency. With fewer items cluttering up your space, there will be fewer distractions and less time spent searching.

Other Benefits of Commercial Spring Cleaning

We all know that a freshened-up space looks better and feels better. It improves the air quality, increases productivity and efficiency, and provides an opportunity to declutter after a season of things staying mostly the same.

Here are a few additional benefits to consider:

• Spring cleaning removes allergens from the air when they’re at their worst; left to linger, these allergens can trigger asthma and other breathing problems.
• On top of boosting productivity, spring cleaning can make you happier; studies show that clean rooms and spaces elevate your endorphins, those feel-good chemicals we could all use some more of these days.
• Spring cleaning reduces stress; who can focus long enough to be productive in a space that looks and feels like it’s crawling with germs and allergens?
• Spring cleaning increases concentration.

Spring Cleaning Tips 2025: Where to Begin

Spring cleaning at the office and spring cleaning at home might be similar in some ways, but there are also plenty of differences. Knowing what to do in one space won’t necessarily translate into knowing what to do in the other.

If you’re not sure where to start, we have some suggestions:

• Dust, vacuum, or wipe down any blinds, curtains, or other window covers
• Clean the windows from the inside and outside
• Dust the corners of the ceiling, tops of doors, and light fixtures
• Clean and sanitize all high-touch surfaces (doorknobs, faucets, equipment, handles, desks, conference room tables, shelves, phones, etc.)
• Deep-clean any carpets or floor mats
• Sweep and mop hardwood floors
• Rearrange filing cabinets, desks, and other large pieces of furniture so that any hiding dust bunnies can be scooped up or wiped away
• Vacuum the baseboards
• Inspect areas where the paint looks chipped or cracked to determine if it needs to be touched up
• Deep-clean the upholstery of your chairs, couches, desk chairs, and other sitting areas

Spring Cleaning Checklist: Bathrooms

Now that you’ve cleaned, swept, aired out, and sanitized all of the primary spaces, it’s time to move into everyone’s least favorite room to clean: bathrooms. Here are some suggestions:

• Scrub the grout between the tiles
• Clean surfaces with soap and water
• Use products containing bleach to sanitize all surfaces and the inside of toilet bowls
• Wash the floor, giving special attention to the areas around the toilets and urinals
• Wash and dry trashcans
• Refill toiletries, including soap, paper towels, and toilet paper
• Post hand-washing protocols signs by the sinks to ensure that everyone knows the best practices
• Search for and eliminate any signs of spreading mold or mildew

Spring Cleaning Tip: Don’t Forget the Exterior – Power Washing and Spring Pollen Build Up

One of the (few) drawbacks of spring is the arrival of pollen season. Pollen season, which generally lasts from mid-March into early September, can throw a wrench into cleaning plans. Because the pollen season lasts into the fall, one deep clean of exterior windows is not going to cut it. If you wait all season for pollen to build up, it can be a tricky task to remove. At Corvus, we recommend working in exterior cleaning and/or power washing into your monthly cleaning regimen. Addressing pollen build up consistently throughout pollen season will make your end-of-season deep clean much less painful.

Getting Started with Spring Cleaning in 2025

As you can tell from our handy commercial cleaning checklists, commercial spring cleaning calls for greater organization and an in-depth cleaning process. Whether you’re cleaning alone or with help, you should send out a notice to any employees so that they know what to expect, especially if the cleaning is taking place during regular business hours.

In your office, school, or other commercial setting, enlisting the help of a team for a spring cleaning day can provide you with a whole host of benefits. But keeping your commercial space clean and disinfected doesn’t start and end with spring cleaning.

The Importance of a Clean Workspace for Your Staff and Clients

by

Having a clean workspace affects more than just the aesthetics of your office. Using the services of a professional janitorial company can improve your business’s overall work environment in several ways. Everyone enjoys a tidy office, but workplace cleanliness can affect productivity, morale, and, in some ways, even your bottom line.

Why is it important to have a clean workspace?

Your team’s physical health can be influenced by the cleanliness of your office; cleaning high-traffic, high-germ areas regularly and thoroughly can help quell the spread of illnesses between co-workers. Studies have shown that improving the quality and frequency of cleaning results in higher employee productivity and decreases annual sick days by 12.5%.

Unsurprisingly, other important aspects of your business’s operations can be impacted by the cleanliness of your office.

A cluttered workspace creates a cluttered mind

Decluttering the space around us can often help us declutter our minds. If the trash hasn’t been taken out for days, or there are dirty floors throughout the office, it can be a distraction from the task at hand. The smallest things can divert workers from their duties, and having a dingy or disorderly workspace can be just the thing to derail their concentration.

These overwhelming stimuli can cause stress and lead to lost productivity, detracting from your workforce’s day-to-day assignments. Coming into a vibrant and clean workspace increases employees’ feelings of security, and clarity, and can lead to more focused and efficient outcomes.

A clean workplace is good for business

People spend a substantial amount of time at work. The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. Staff feel better about investing their time with an employer who is concerned about their well-being and health. Using a trusted janitorial service that provides regular, effective cleaning helps maintain high morale, good attitudes, and worker satisfaction. Office hygiene held at a high standard can help retain employees and keep them happy.

Satisfied employees are good for business. Not only are they more productive and creative, but they can also help recruit quality candidates in addition to clients.

Word of mouth is a powerful tool; no one knows a business better than the people who work there. A study by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) indicates that 72% of employees are reluctant to recommend a business with poor office hygiene to job seekers. Quality recruitment can often come from current employees, but if the work environment is deemed unacceptable, those prospects may never materialize. When employees feel pride in their employer, they are more likely to recommend them to job seeking friends and family.

In the same vein, happy staffers are more likely to recommend clients. The first impression of a prospective client is everything. Every business wants to appear professional and polished. Utilizing the expertise of a professional cleaner can ensure you achieve that goal. No one wants to come into a stuffy office lined with overflowing trashbins, dust on window sills, and grimy floors.

An orderly, immaculate storefront conveys your business’s professionalism and pride to the client. If clients see your storefront as orderly and welcoming, they project those feelings onto your workers and the services they expect to receive. In turn, they are more likely to refer your services to others.

How to keep your workspace clean in 2025

The easiest way to maintain a bright and healthy workspace and satisfied staff members is to have a commercial cleaning service, such as Corvus Janitorial Systems, provide regularly scheduled office cleanings. At Corvus, all it takes is a quick phone call or an online request for a quote…contact us today!

Cleaning for the Season: Five Ways a Janitorial Services Company Can Help

by

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Winter is coming, and it’s time to start thinking about getting your facility ready for the season. From retailers gearing up for holiday shoppers to planning that annual office party, the upcoming months are typically the busiest for businesses of all types. If this sounds familiar, hiring professional cleaners can be a great way to lighten the load. Read on to learn how a full-service commercial cleaning company like Corvus can help.

1. Managing Increased Foot Traffic Areas

The holidays often bring more people into commercial spaces, whether for shopping, parties, or events. With increased foot traffic comes more dirt, dust, and mess. Professional cleaners have the expertise and tools to handle the higher cleaning demands during this busy period efficiently, keeping your workplace clean and presentable.

2. Reducing the Spread of Illness

During the winter months, the flu and other illnesses tend to be more prevalent. Professional cleaners can prevent the spread of germs through regular cleaning of commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs, desks, and countertops. They have access to commercial-grade products and will follow strict cleaning protocols to effectively eliminate pathogens, creating a healthier environment for employees and visitors alike.

3. Preventing Accidents

Weather conditions such as snow and ice can make floors slippery and pose a significant safety hazard to your facility. Professional cleaning crews come equipped with specialized tools such as floor polishers, wet and dry vacuum cleaners, and microfiber mops to efficiently and effectively clean floors. Plus, they comply with safety regulations and standards, including OSHA standards. You can count on professionals to take extra caution, like putting up signage that warns of potential hazards (think: wet floor signs) and only using non-slip cleaners to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

4. Addressing Special Cleaning Needs

The holiday season may bring about extra cleaning tasks unique to this time of year. For example, decorative ornaments hung in an office may require special care. Professional cleaners are experienced in handling delicate items, ensuring they’re properly cleaned and maintained without causing any damage.

5. Improving Indoor Air Quality

When we spend more time indoors in the winter, the air quality inside a commercial space can degrade as dust, allergens, and other airborne particles quickly accumulate. Implementing thorough dusting, cleaning air ducts, and using HEPA filters are some measures professional cleaners take to promote a healthier indoor environment.

The ROI of Hygiene: How Commercial Cleaning Services Impact Your Business’s Success

by

In the bustling world of business, where every minute counts and every opportunity matters, maintaining a clean and organized workplace might just be the key to unlocking enhanced productivity and prosperity. The saying “cleanliness is next to godliness” takes on a new meaning in the corporate arena, where a pristine workspace can significantly impact not only employee morale but also your bottom line.

In this post, we’ll explore the multifaceted advantages of investing in professional commercial cleaning services. From bolstering employee productivity to making a lasting impression on clients, adhering to health and safety regulations, and even extending the lifespan of valuable assets, the merits of a clean workplace are far-reaching. And as a bonus, we’ll reveal how outsourcing your cleaning needs to experts can translate into valuable time and cost savings.

Beyond just ensuring cleanliness, professional cleaning and disinfecting services like electrostatic spraying can significantly impact a business’s overall success and return on investment (ROI). So, let’s delve into the myriad benefits of maintaining a clean and hygienic business environment and discover how it can lead to a more prosperous and successful enterprise.

Enhanced Productivity

A clean and organized workplace significantly impacts employee morale and productivity. Working in a clutter-free environment reduces visual distractions and promotes a sense of calmness, leading to reduced stress levels and improved focus. It allows for efficient workflow and task completion as employees spend less time searching for documents, supplies or equipment when everything is properly stored and accessible.

A clean workplace also helps promote a healthier environment by minimizing the spread of germs and reducing the risk of illness. Regular cleaning and disinfection of surfaces can help eliminate common viruses and bacteria, contributing to fewer sick days among employees.

Improved Customer Perception

A well-maintained business premises creates a positive impression on customers and clients. It demonstrates that the business takes pride in its appearance and is committed to providing a high-quality service, which can help build customer trust and loyalty, increasing customer retention and word-of-mouth referrals. First impressions matter, and a person is much more likely to feel comfortable and confident in an aesthetically pleasing environment. Therefore, maintaining a consistently clean and hygienic facility contributes to the overall perception of the business as reliable and trustworthy.

Health and Safety Compliance

Businesses are responsible for providing a safe and healthy working environment for their employees and clients. Professional janitorial services help ensure health and safety regulations compliance by implementing proper cleaning and sanitization practices. This reduces the risk of accidents, injuries, and the spread of illnesses, thus minimizing legal liabilities and associated costs.

Longer Lifespan for Assets

Professional cleaning services can have a major impact on extending the lifespan of costly assets such as furniture, flooring and appliances. These items are bound to accumulate dirt, dust and debris over time, however, regular cleaning and maintenance can do wonders in preserving their appearance and functionality.

Commercial cleaners are trained to utilize specialized techniques and products specifically designed to clean and protect these assets. For example, they may use industry-grade equipment like a HEPA vacuum filter to remove particles from upholstery, or specialized techniques to remove hard water stains and buildup.

Time and Cost Savings

Outsourcing cleaning responsibilities to professionals allows business owners and employees to focus on their core tasks and responsibilities. Commercial cleaning services are trained and equipped to efficiently handle cleaning tasks, which in turn saves valuable time. Moreover, outsourcing cleaning can often be more cost-effective than hiring and managing an in-house cleaning team, especially considering factors like supplies, equipment, and training.

Conclusion

All in all, investing in commercial cleaning services can provide a significant return on investment for businesses. It enhances productivity, improves customer perception, ensures compliance with health and safety regulations, extends the lifespan of assets, and leads to time and cost savings. By maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, businesses can create a positive work atmosphere that positively impacts employee morale, customer satisfaction, and, ultimately, the business’s success.
