Offering janitorial services comes with a lot of responsibilities, and you better be prepared to meet all of them head-on if you want your business to survive. You must consider so many different aspects of cleaning when you’re dealing with office spaces. Other people’s health concerns will become a part of your responsibilities, especially as it applies to the cleaning services you provide. This is something that can be dealt with quite easily, as long as you are aware of the possibilities for cross contamination and know how to avoid it.
Cross contamination can happen much more easily than you might imagine. Think for just a second how easy it is to use a towel that was dropped on the floor to wipe down a counter in the break room or kitchen. What about the possibility of using the same broom in the hallways as you did in the bathroom? Sometimes people do these things without thinking, but it’s your job as the provider of janitorial services to ensure that these things don’t happen. You must always be conscious of the materials you are using and in what order.
One of the easiest ways to cut down on cross contamination is to clean any eating areas after cleaning the workspaces. This will drastically reduce the chances of food borne illnesses causing problems. The bathrooms should then be the very last things you clean before leaving the offices for the evening. All of the rags and equipment should be removed immediately so they can be cleaned and prepared for use at your next appointment. Remember that your equipment has just been through the dirt and germs of one client, and you don’t want to carry those right into the offices of your next client. Simply paying attention to what you’re doing and being diligent about cleanliness in between tasks and jobs will go a long way toward preventing contamination
