If the events of the past two and a half years have proven anything, it’s that staying in business involves more than providing high-quality products and reliable services. To succeed, owners must gain customers’ trust while making their health and safety a top priority.

The creation and maintenance of a clean and sanitary environment is more important than ever. As we have seen during the pandemic, running an essential business, and following mandates and precautions can seem difficult, if not impossible. Thankfully, there are ways for business owners to provide cleaner and more hygienic workplaces while focusing on core competencies. Here, we will explain the nature and benefits of professional disinfection services.

What is a Disinfection Service?

Disinfection services are offered by professionals who work to clean and sanitize office buildings, factories, and other commercial facilities. At Corvus Janitorial, we train our cleaners to sanitize surfaces based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control. Following the CDC’s guidelines, we use various methods and products to clean surfaces and limit the spread of bacteria and viruses.

The teams responsible for commercial cleaning and disinfection have years of combined janitorial experience, along with specialized knowledge of cleaning for disease prevention. In the sections below, we will outline the benefits of our disinfection services.

It’s Worry-Free

A primary advantage of hiring a disinfection service is that it won’t disrupt the company’s operations. Typically, workers would have to clean and sanitize their work areas—which no one wants to do at the end of a long day. Our team will work during off hours and provide the services needed to keep businesses running safely and smoothly.

Whether owners need an after-hours deep cleaning or occasional disinfection during the day, we will work unobtrusively alongside employees to provide a safer and more hygienic environment for customers and team members.

It Limits the Spread of Viruses and Bacteria

Professional sanitation and disinfection services eliminate more germs than traditional cleaning methods, which limits the spread of many illnesses. By removing viruses and bacteria before they can be transferred between surfaces, we will help everyone in the building breathe a little easier.

Disinfection Protects Workers’ Health

Regular commercial disinfection is crucial to the protection of employee health. Our services work to eliminate germs, viruses, dust mites, mildew, mold, and other contaminants. With techniques such as steam cleaning and misting, we use special chemicals and hot water to remove pathogens from hard surfaces, upholstery, and carpets. With professional disinfection services, owners can reduce the risk of contagion that may cost thousands in downtime and healthcare expenses.

Better Indoor Air Quality

Dust, pollen, pet dander, and other substances can, when inhaled, cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Up to 50 million people in the United States are affected by allergies, which can bring symptoms like wheezing, itchy and watery eyes, coughing, and asthma.

When commercial spaces are unclean, it leads to the accumulation of dust and pollen, which is worsened when visitors bring more particles in. If these problems are left unaddressed, pollutants will spread from surface to surface and from one person to the next. Our cleaning crews will clean and sanitize counters, shelves, and common areas to remove viruses, bacteria, and allergens, thereby improving air quality.

There’s a Plan for Every Business

With a no-obligation in-person estimate, we will remove the uncertainty and guesswork from the disinfection process. We are experienced in the cleaning of all building types, and we’ll help business owners identify high touch areas in need of attention. Not every treatment is appropriate for every surface, and each building requires a different approach. Let us build a plan that’s customized to the company’s needs and the owner’s budget.

Regular Disinfection and Cleaning Maintains Finishes and Surfaces

While flooring and upholstery certainly improve a facility’s atmosphere and aesthetic, they also serve as a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Commercial spaces, including factories and warehouses, endure heavy traffic and accumulate dirt that a broom or vacuum cleaner simply will not remove.

Professional sanitation and disinfection services are a crucial part of keeping upholstery, carpets, and other soft surfaces clean. Our team members have many years of experience, as well as access to environmentally friendly cleaning and disinfection products that make these surfaces dirt-, grime-, and germ-free.

Aside from floor, upholstery, and carpet cleaning, a facility’s restrooms also require sanitization and cleaning. With our help, building owners can maintain their costly fixtures while working to preserve and protect employees’ and visitors’ health.

Cleaning Where It’s Needed Most

When business owners leave the cleaning to employees, it’s almost impossible to know which areas have been effectively sanitized. That’s why professional services are essential, especially during times like these.

While high touch surfaces like desks, phone receivers, and door handles are some of the most well-known germ spreaders, other potential disease spreaders do not receive as much attention. When creating a customized cleaning and disinfection strategy, we will identify the areas that need treatment.

A Cleaner, Fresher Look

Professional cleaning and sanitizing services provide deep cleaning of highly trafficked areas and touchpoints such as doorknobs and light switches. Regular disinfection decreases the exchange of germs and bacteria between people as they touch these surfaces.

Everyone who comes into the building, whether they’re a customer or an employee, wants to feel safe and comfortable when they enter. A facility that receives regular disinfection services will remind everyone that they are in a clean, yet welcoming environment.

For those managing larger facilities, it’s sometimes difficult to handle a day’s responsibilities. However, that’s what we specialize in. Contact us to learn how we can make your job easier.

We Have the Right Equipment for the Job

The best results come when the right tools are used, and consumer cleaning products don’t always provide the desired outcome. While there’s a time and a place to use sanitizing wipes and sprays, they don’t clean as reliably or thoroughly as commercial-grade supplies. Our team has access to industrial strength chemicals, as well as specialized equipment that’s much more effective than that found in stores.

All the cleaning supplies we use are registered with the EPA, so they’re sure to be eco-friendly. We know how to use these disinfectants to eliminate pathogens and provide effective results, especially in high-traffic areas. If the health and safety of visitors, customers, and employees is a priority, business owners should hire professional cleaners who have the best supplies and equipment. Contact us today to learn more about our products and services.

An Increase in Productivity

Numerous studies show that office and factory workers are more productive in a stress-free, motivating environment. It makes sense, therefore, that a sanitary and clean workplace will improve productivity. With disinfection services from Corvus Janitorial, workers won’t have to take as many sick days—and they’ll have greater peace of mind.

Creating a More Businesslike Image

Finding and retaining employees and customers are two of the most important aspects of business ownership. The impression customers get when they enter an establishment for the first time is a visual symbol of the owner’s commitment to the company. Similarly, if a facility isn’t clean and hygienic, the best workers aren’t likely to stick around. Regular sanitizing and disinfecting can accomplish both goals. We use commercial disinfectants and advanced technology to sanitize all surfaces, ensuring a refreshed, neat, clean, and professional appearance.

Keeping Up With Changing Guidelines

Our cleaning professionals stay up to date on the latest technology, methods, and equipment to create a safe and clean work environment. Since the beginning of the pandemic, work safety and CDC guidelines have changed several times. With a regular sanitation program, however, it’s easier for owners to keep pace with these changes.

Working with a provider such as Corvus Janitorial gives business owners the peace of mind that comes with knowing they’ve complied with all the rules. We only use approved products that are specifically designed to eliminate the most dangerous viruses and bacteria, so owners can hire us with confidence.

Set New Standards for Safety and Cleanliness With Professional Disinfection Services

Our disinfection services will help keep businesses running cleanly and smoothly during these challenging times and well into the future. Over the past couple of years, we’ve all learned the importance of keeping workers, visitors, and customers safe. By counting on our cleaning specialists, business owners can focus on more important aspects while minimizing the spread of contagious disease.

When searching for a disinfection service, be sure to choose a company that is flexible and follows guidelines that protect workers’ safety and health. Recent events have led customers and owners alike to raise their standards for cleanliness, hygiene, and facilities maintenance. Rather than spending time, money, and effort attempting to meet these objectives, hand the job over to the team of experts at Corvus Janitorial Systems who will provide a personalized, professional experience that eliminates worries about the well-being of customers and staff.

When business clients or customers enter a building, they expect to see a well-kept space that’s clean and organized. The appearance of the building will impact visitors’ impressions of a business and will likely play a role in their decision to patronize an organization or move on to a competitor’s business. The condition of the building’s floors certainly influences their decision. So, how can a company keep its floors looking attractive and clean?

Choose the Right Floor Coverings

The first step in creating an attractive, lasting look is selecting the appropriate materials for the space. High-traffic areas require flooring materials designed to stand up to the wear and tear countless people walking through create. Areas expected to experience less traffic don’t need floor coverings that are quite as hardy, but all commercial spaces should use flooring products designed for commercial rather than residential spaces.

Flooring materials must also match the type of business. For example, using any type of carpeting in a veterinarian’s reception area would not be wise. Hard flooring that’s easily cleaned after pet accidents would always be a better option. Match the floor covering to the overall design of the business, but always make buying decisions based on the expected use of the space. 

Indoor Air Quality is a Major Consideration

Today’s buildings are tightly sealed to reduce spending for heating and cooling. If steps to introduce a steady supply of fresh air are not taken, the health and safety of workers and building visitors are threatened. Even when HVAC systems are designed to introduce fresh air, inappropriate or dirty flooring materials negatively impact the building’s indoor air quality.

Health experts recommend cleaning flooring materials frequently to reduce the odds of unhealthy substances circulating through the building as people move around. In most cases, that means working closely with a janitorial service like Corvus to keep flooring materials looking great while, at the same time, improving indoor air quality.

Focus on Creating a Healthy Environment

Over the past couple of years, businesses everywhere learned that keeping a business clean and healthy for workers and clients isn’t easy. Since the onset of COVID-19, disinfecting services have jumped to the top of companies’ must-have services. At Corvus, we understand how important cleanliness is to protect everyone who enters a building. We work with every client to determine which commercial floor cleaning strategies to employ during cleaning services, including taking care of your organization’s floors.

Reduce the Potential for Accidents

Using appropriate flooring products is a crucial first step in reducing the potential for slip and fall accidents, but proper cleaning practices after installing new flooring are also important for accident reduction. The cleaning products and processes used for various types of floor coverings reduce the odds of accidents occurring. 

In addition, using the best cleaning products and processes also keeps flooring materials in top-notch condition for longer. That means building owners won’t have to replace the floor coverings as frequently. Corvus professionals are trained to use appropriate cleaning products during their visits to ensure every client’s building looks good for longer.

Discover Why Vacuum Cleaners are Important

The majority of building and business owners don’t consider the importance of using the right vacuum cleaner. In many instances, buying decisions are made based on price or brand name recognition rather than quality. However, industry experts always recommend purchasing quality vacuum cleaners rather than inexpensive models.

At Corvus, we understand the importance of using quality vacuum cleaners when cleaning our clients’ buildings. We use equipment that’s designed for commercial use, as lesser machines won’t stand up to the rigors of commercial cleaning or protect your building’s indoor air quality.

Dirt moves through carpets as people walk on them. That dirt causes friction that, in turn, wears the carpet’s fibers. When inadequate vacuum cleaners are used, much of that dirt remains in the carpet, which means the fibers will wear faster. Of course, that increased wear also means the carpets will look dingy and require replacing sooner.

Indoor air quality also suffers when using many traditional vacuum cleaners. Far too much dust is circulated throughout the building when lower-quality vacuum cleaners are used, as those old-fashioned bags let quite a bit of dust escape. That’s why HEPA filtration vacuum cleaners are now a must in all settings, but especially in commercial buildings where countless people move through those buildings every day. Maintaining a building correctly reduces the amount of dirt and other contaminants in your building’s carpets.

Taking Care of Spots in Carpets Promptly Keeps Buildings Looking Better

Stains are virtually impossible to avoid, and stained carpets always create a negative impression on visitors to a building and employees. Cleaning experts universally encourage building owners to deal with stains promptly to keep your company’s floors looking clean and new for as long as possible. 

At Corvus, our cleaning professionals expertly remove stains using spot cleaning methods matched to the type of carpet in our clients’ buildings. One-size-fits-all approaches to spot removal often do more damage than good and fail to keep the carpeting looking its best. 

Routine Carpet Cleaning Reduces Wear and Protects Occupants

When cleaned on a regular schedule, carpets look nicer for far longer. Wear due to embedded dirt is reduced, colors remain vibrant, and traffic patterns are not as evident. Hot water extraction methods work the best for many types of carpeting, but dry cleaning strategies may be more effective for some buildings. Corvus cleaning experts review the available options and recommend services based on the building occupant’s needs. 

The importance of sanitizing floors cannot be stressed enough given the impact of COVID-19 on businesses over the past couple of years. The virus is transmitted in several ways, which means business owners need to take every precaution possible to minimize the potential for transmission. As new variants appear, the importance of keeping a building clean only increases, as those new variants may be transmitted differently.

Of course, clean carpets always look nicer, and odd odors commonly found in dirty carpets won’t be an issue when they’re clean. Customers notice when buildings they enter are clean and tend to stay longer and spend more when they feel comfortable in the store or office.

Hard Floor Surfaces Also Require Proper Cleaning

While hard flooring may not show stains and wear patterns in the same way carpets do, those surfaces still require proper maintenance to look like new for longer. Tile, wood, and other hard surface floor coverings all require routine care to retain their like-new appearance and last as long as possible. 

Tile floors with grout require regular cleaning and treatments to look their best. Grout must be cleaned and resealed as needed to retain its color and resist wear. As with carpeted surfaces, our experts evaluate the type of hard flooring and recommend the best options for keeping the surface looking good for as long as possible.

Maintaining wood flooring requires a little more finessing than tile, so our experts recommend taking extra steps to keep hardwood flooring looking new. First, sweeping the floors with an appropriate broom or dry mop is always crucial. Business owners are encouraged to make sure hardwood floors are kept clean throughout the day, especially at times when more dirt is likely to be tracked in. 

Keeping those wood floors looking great also means mopping them with a microfiber mop rather than sponge or yarn mops. The advantage of microfiber mops is that they clean the wood using less water than either sponge or yarn mops. Using less water protects the wood’s finish and reduces the chances of warping.

Mopping isn’t Simple

Mopping hard surface floors isn’t as easy as it may sound. Cleaning experts know that using the best cleaners and mops reduces the amount of water needed to thoroughly clean the floor surface. We also take steps to reduce the potential for displays, trim, and furnishings to be damaged by water when we clean hard surface floors. If you’re unsure what cleaning methods are best for your business, we’ll take the time to explain why we recommend specific cleaning strategies for each type of flooring.

Trust the Experts

Corvus Janitorial Systems’ cleaning professionals never cut corners when cleaning our client’s properties. Floor coverings represent a significant investment and must be protected to ensure the flooring materials last as long as possible and retain that special, like-new look building visitors expect. 

When Corvus’s experts clean clients’ properties, they tailor the cleaning strategies used to match the materials in the building. That means you can expect them to do what’s necessary to keep your company’s floors in top-notch condition for as long as possible.
