How Fall Weather Affects Your Office Cleaning Routine

When the seasons change, the cleaning concerns for every office also change. Autumn comes with its own unique set of challenges, including an increase in dust, allergens, dirt, and moisture tracked indoors. This can affect your routine when it comes to office cleaning in Toronto. At We Clean It, we find that fall adjustments in cleaning routines are crucial to ensure that the office environment remains fresh, safe, and comfortable for all employees and visitors alike.

Dust and Allergen Management

In the fall, more allergens, such as dust and mold spores, begin to infiltrate your office. Once the heaters kick into operation, they tend to raise the dust that settles on surfaces, leading to dusty air. This is why you must change your cleaning regimen by increasing the frequency of dusting. At We Clean It, we always ensure that we use special equipment that catches dust particles rather than releasing them back into the air. Effective dust management can also help reduce the risk of allergy attacks. 

Changes in humidity and reduced temperatures also encourage mold spores, which can settle in damp areas such as window ledges or restrooms. So, your cleaning routine may also need to include special efforts by windows and doors to eliminate excess moisture. Mold spores are a common allergy and are even toxic to those who are not allergic to them. Eliminating them is essential to maintain the health and safety of the employees.

Dirt and Moisture Management at Entry

Fall weather often consists of rainy days, muddy shoes, and wet leaves, all of which eventually get tracked inside. Entry points and hallways usually suffer the most as floors immediately become lined with muddy footprints and moisture once someone walks in. To avoid this, adjust your cleaning routine to include frequent cleaning of the entryways. Placing absorbent, high-quality floor mats at every entrance will catch a lot of dirt and moisture right at the door, leaving the rest of the office cleaner. However, carpets should be vacuumed regularly, and spot cleaning should be performed periodically. 

Shifting the Cleaning Schedule for Fall Demands

With the change of seasons, some specific adjustments in cleaning routines are required. Our team at We Clean It highly recommends more frequent deep cleaning, especially on high-touch surfaces such as desks, doorknobs, and even shared equipment in the break rooms. These are the high-traffic spots where germs are more prominent, especially during flu season; regular disinfecting can help protect against illness.
