After a busy school summer holiday period, we share our client’s delight with the deep cleaning undertaken this year. With the ongoing rise and fall of COVID-19 cases, a deep clean prior to the return of students is now more important than ever. In this update we share our success in deep cleaning and why it is so important to undertake a proper summer clean that covers an entire premises.
Effective sanitisation to remove soils and dirt, as well as eliminating harmful bacteria is essential. Not all cleaning products are disinfectants and therefore it is imperative to sanitise in the deep clean period to remove pathogenic microorganisms and viruses. By sanitising the area, it ensures a safe environment for students, staff and visitors alike.
Toilet areas and washrooms are high-risk areas in terms of contamination and transfer of bacteria. It is therefore essential to undertake a high-quality clean and sanitisation of these areas that should cover all areas from toilet basins, sinks, mirrors, consumable dispensers, other fixtures and fittings, walls, doors and of course the floors. As well as producing safe and hygienic washrooms, a high-quality deep clean using effective products improves the aesthetic and creates a fresher, pleasant areas.
Kitchens are another high-risk area due to food waste that breeds bacteria. Continual maintenance and high-quality cleaning of kitchens are therefore essential for food preparation. Including a deep-clean of kitchen areas brings more benefits than solely maintaining hygiene on surfaces. The deep clean provides a great opportunity for ventilation and ducting cleans to remove grease, carbon and steam produced by commercial kitchens. Such cleaning requires an expert contractor who works in accordance with regulations and the TR19 standard of duct and kitchen extract cleaning.
Of course, one of the most notable and obvious reasons for a summer deep clean is to improve the internal building aesthetic. Over the duration of the academic term, the buildings are heavily used and the summer deep clean allows for specialist cleaning tasks to be undertaken to raise the standards of areas. For example, a high-quality strip and seal can transform a hard floored corridor or sports hall. A carpet shampoo can make old looking carpets look brand new. High-level cleaning can remove dust that undermines the look and feel of the area. Window cleaning keeps the internal and external glazing glistening. All of these specialist cleaning tasks can be delivered during a summer deep clean from an expert cleaning contractor.
We would like to share some feedback from this years summer deep clean:
“As I wandered around the school today I noticed corridors that for years had been grubby and dirty were clean and sparkling! Several staff commented to me on how much cleaner the school is. Thank you for making this the case – a lovely start to the year”.
“Thank you so much for the work you have done in the school, it looks amazing, you and your team have worked so hard. It’s great to work with a team who are so friendly, reliable and have a passion for what they do”.
