We live in a fast paced business world where it's imperative to maintain a clean and healthy work environment. One important aspect of workplace health is indoor air quality, one that is often overlooked. Poor air quality has a serious impact on employees, impacting their overall health, productivity, and job satisfaction.
Business owners need to understand how regular cleaning can help to maintain air quality in the office environment. Indoor air pollution is a threat affecting millions of workers throughout the world. Air pollutants include allergens, dust, mould spores, chemical residues, and volatile organic compounds.
Did you know approximately three million people die prematurely each year due to diseases that have been linked to poor indoor air quality? This is according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Twenty one percent are a result of flower respiratory infections, nineteen percent are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, thirty two percent are ischaemic heart disease, twenty three percent are due to a stroke, and six percent are a result of lung cancer.
And this is where our professional office cleaning services come in. We implement a comprehensive cleaning plan based on your office requirements. With regular cleaning, we are able to improve the indoor air quality of your office, providing your employees with a comfortable and healthy working environment.
Professional office cleaning helps reduce allergens and dust in the workspace. Pollen, dust particles, pet dander, and other microscopic irritants all accumulate relatively quickly, especially in high traffic areas. Professional cleaning services use advanced technologies and equipment to remove particles from all surfaces. Our HEPA vacuum cleaners can capture close to one hundred percent of particles, far superior to standard office cleaning vacuum cleaners.
With regular and professional office cleaning services, we dust all surfaces, including ceiling fans, light fixtures, window blinds, and more, reducing airborne particles in your office space. This dust removal process is beneficial to your employees that suffer from allergies or respiratory problems, including those with asthma.
Volatile organic compounds are chemicals that evaporate at room temperature and can release harmful gasses into the air. The compounds originate from various sources, including some cleaning products, furnishings, and office equipment. Long term exposure has been linked to nausea, headaches, along with kidney and liver damage.
As professional cleaners, we play a vital role in reducing volatile organic compounds and other dangerous chemicals. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products that are highly effective for cleaning and sanitising, without any dangerous side effects.
It is important to ensure you have proper ventilation in the office, maintaining good air quality. Stagnant air can result in pollutants building up, creating a very unhealthy working environment for you and your employees. We can help improve air flow in a number of ways. Our vacuum cleaners are all clean and functioning properly, including air vents and returns, enabling the vacuum to operate efficiently, circulating air effectively.
During the cleaning process, we pay attention to air ducts that become clogged with mould spores and pollen. With regular cleaning, you prevent the risk of these allergens being released into your office air.
Improving air quality indoors is a process that requires ongoing effort and expertise. Our professional office cleaning services provides a comprehensive approach to enhance the indoor air quality of your office, eliminating visible dust to invisible mould growth and chemical pollutants.
