Maintaining a clean workplace protects employee health, reduces absenteeism, and creates a professional environment for clients and visitors. Park Slope Cleaning is an M/WBE-certified commercial cleaning company serving offices in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Miami. Our workplace cleaning best practices are grounded in ISSA CIMS standards and carried out by trained W-2 employees — no subcontractors.
High-Touch Surface Disinfection
High-touch surfaces require daily attention because they transfer pathogens between employees throughout the day. Consequently, these areas should be prioritized in any cleaning schedule. Key surfaces include door handles, elevator buttons, light switches, shared equipment like printers and coffee machines, and restroom fixtures. Additionally, shared workstations and conference room technology — phones, keyboards, and remote controls — should be disinfected after each use or at the end of each day.
We use EPA-registered disinfectants that meet performance standards for killing bacteria and viruses. Furthermore, our Green Seal certification ensures the products we use are also environmentally responsible, reducing chemical exposure for your staff.
Floor and Surface Maintenance
Floors in high-traffic areas accumulate soil, allergens, and bacteria quickly. Therefore, regular vacuuming, mopping, and hard-floor maintenance are essential components of any workplace cleaning program. Carpets require periodic deep cleaning to remove embedded debris that vacuuming alone cannot extract. Hard floors benefit from scheduled stripping and refinishing to maintain appearance and prevent surface degradation.
For restrooms and kitchens specifically, wet cleaning methods are preferable. Wet cleaning prevents microorganisms from becoming airborne, instead capturing them in the cleaning solution. This is why we avoid dry dusting in these areas and use microfiber cloths with appropriate solutions instead.
Workplace Cleaning Best Practices: Building a Consistent Schedule
Ad-hoc cleaning is less effective than a structured program. A consistent schedule ensures no area is overlooked and that cleaning frequency matches the usage level of each space. For example, a high-traffic reception area requires daily attention, while a rarely used conference room may only need weekly service.
We work with each client to build a maintenance program tailored to their facility’s layout, occupancy, and operational requirements. Programs can run daily, weekly, or on custom schedules. To discuss a workplace cleaning program for your office, contact us today.
