Office Cleaning is on the Front Lines of the COVID-19 Battle

Wearing masks and social distancing are required nearly everywhere, and with them comes the need to sanitize offices and shared workspaces as never before. Preventing coronavirus's surface transmission is a matter of public health and peace of mind for all employees and guests at your company. Because New York City was an early epicenter of the virus, office cleaning companies in NYC have been on the front lines since the early days. Daily checklists have been expanded to include a range of shared touchpoints through an office. They need to be sprayed or wiped down with sanitizing products.

At the same time, all of the necessary office cleaning functions need to continue uninterrupted. Floorcare always needs to be at the top of the list because it has the most significant impact on the look of any interior space. Daily mopping needs to be augmented with frequent polishing and buffing to keep hard surfaces looking their best. In buildings with marble and natural stone floors like slate, unique expertise is required to keep them looking their best. Specialized products are needed to avoid dulling or streaking them in any way. Premium floors are a significant investment and last indefinitely with proper care.


When they can be used, lobbies and reception areas need to have capacity limits and thorough disinfecting of shared touch points. Doors and reception counters are of particular importance as people touch them throughout the day. Public health requirements demand they be misted or wiped down with approved sanitizers capable of killing COVID-19 on contact. Even with social distancing, restrooms continue to be used by all and are filled with shared touchpoints. They always are rooms needing disinfection, and under today's circumstances, the requirement is expanded.

New York City has the unfortunate distinction of being a first coronavirus hotspot, and as a result, janitorial services were immediately required to add disinfecting services. As time has progressed, people are more cautious, and cleaning staff has become more expert in sanitizing applications. As a result, the city's COVID-19 positive tests have remained very low, given its population density. Until vaccines are in widespread use and infection rates are suppressed worldwide, the extra cleaning functions will need to remain in effect. Public health regulations require it, and it's the right thing to do.
