Moving is a stressful experience in and of itself, particularly when employees are involved.  Things need to be packed, new workspaces need to be designated, services need to be transferred, and commercial space that you are leaving needs to be left as clean as possible.   And all of these things need to be done (ideally) without disturbing or interrupting worker productivity.

The last thing that you and your employees will want to worry about is cleaning your old office space, and that is where a San Diego cleaning service that offers move out cleaning comes in.  Why is it so important to leave your old office clean?

It leaves a favorable impression of your business, your employees, and you, in the minds of the building owner.

It increases the chance that you will be able to recover any applicable deposits that you may have paid upon taking possession of the office space.

Any damages that you or your employees may have inadvertently caused will become apparent and you will be able to arrange for repairs or replacements before you are charged for them by the building owner.

It just makes good professional sense, and hiring a professional move out cleaning service will insure that this is a hassle-free process.

We all know the importance of regular carpet cleaning, and your San Diego cleaning service should include this as part of the normal care and maintenance of your corporate space.  It is recommended that in addition to regular spot carpet cleaning, carpets should be thoroughly and professionally cleaned at least twice a year

As with anything, when it comes to carpet cleaning, there are several different methods. The most popular method is hot water extraction, and for good reasons.  Extraction is different from steam cleaning, and instead of chemical agents, uses very hot water to remove soil and dirt from the carpet and a vacuums it away.  A water based cleaning solution is then injected into the carpet, bringing further dirt up from the pile to the surface, where it is then removed.

Without the use of harsh chemicals, the risk of triggering allergies is reduced, as is chemically contaminated water run-off.  In addition, extraction carpet cleaning does not leave any carpet cleaning product residue or odor behind.

For these reasons, and many more, it is a good idea to find a San Diego cleaning service that uses the extraction method for carpet cleaning.

Some types of flooring require regular waxing in order to maintain their shine, luster, and beauty.   There are many benefits of hiring a professional San Diego cleaning service to wax your floors when necessary. These include:

• Scratch Prevention: Floor wax acts as a buffer between tracked in dirt and debris and your floor. This means that scratches, scrapes, and gouges occur in the wax rather than on your floor
• Spill Prevention: In the same way that floor wax protects your floor from scratches and gouges, it also acts as a protective barrier against spills and stains. This also helps protect your floors from water stains and warping.
• Shine: Wax brings out the natural luster in many different types of flooring.  After a professional floor waxing, your floor will look glossy and beautiful and will add a touch of elegance to any room or corporate space.

If you have hardwood flooring in your business, office, or restaurant, then you know first hand just how durable and beautiful this type of flooring can be.   Even the most beautiful floor, however, can easily and quickly become dull, dingy, and dirty if not properly cared for.

Hardwood floor is resistant to scratching and gouging, but it is still vulnerable to these types of mishaps, as well as to abrasive soaps and cleaners.  When moving furniture, make sure not to drag it across the  floor, and use protective casters on the legs of tables and chairs as well.

The biggest source of scratches and damage to hardwood floors, believe it or not, is the dirt tracked in by shoes.  This dirt and debris is tracked over the floor and can cause damage over time.  This can be easily prevented simply by the use of protective floor mats and area rugs.

Cleaning spills and stains as soon as they happen, is the best way to avoid permanent staining.  Wet mops, abrasive cleaners, and soaps should not be used. Instead, be sure to purchase a cleaning solution specially formulated for your floor type. Ask your San Diego janitorial and maintenance service for recommendations.

When properly cared for and maintained, a hardwood floor can be a thing of beauty for years to come.

When you think about commercial cleaning, you probably don’t think about warehouse cleaning, but if you have a warehouse associated with your business, you will want to keep reading. Storing equipment and merchandise in a clean facility is important for health reasons, and a clean, professional looking warehouse also makes the right impression on customers and suppliers.

What Does  Warehouse Cleaning Consist Of?

• Removal of dust and debris from the floor by vacuuming and/or sweeping as necessary
• Degreasing, scrubbing, and refinishing of floors as needed
• Wall and surface cleaning
• Trash removal
• Gutter and drain cleaning
• Building maintenance inspection
• Window Washing

The bottom line is that a clean warehouse is a more efficiently run, more professional, healthier place for your employees to work and for product and equipment storage. With certain jobs, particularly jobs that involve cleaning with the use of ladders and large scale spaces, it is better to trust a professional than to have your employees attempt the task.

Pressure washing, or power washing, is a service provided by many businesses.  If your San Diego commercial cleaning company offers it as a specialty cleaning service, there are many reasons to consider it.

Pressure Washing:

• Involves high-pressure streams of water, one hundred times more powerful than the force of a common garden hose.
• Uses a tightly controlled water stream
• Does not cause water damage and is safe for a variety of surfaces.
• Can  improve not only the appearance of the surface, but also the air quality around it, by eliminating mold and mildew.
• Is used on concrete, linoleum, and other types of floors to remove dirt and debris
• Is used on houses and buildings with vinyl or aluminum siding to remove pollen, mold, debris, and dirt and to restore their appearance.
• Used on wooden decks and patios to improve the appearance and condition of the wood.
• Is a quick, safe, process that yields dramatic results.

Over time, even the most well maintained flooring and siding will collect dirt and debris.  Ask your San Diego cleaning service whether or not they offer this service, either as part of their normal cleaning routine or as a specialty, or both, depending on the type of surface.

Maintaining a professional, polished appearance is essential for any business. Day porter services can help to enhance the professional image of your business, and can help to ensure that your office is immaculately maintained as well. Day porters are employees of a cleaning service or other type of business who come to your business and perform basic janitorial duties on a constant basis throughout the business day, as well as:

• Trash collection
• Spill and stain removal
• Thorough cleaning of public areas
• Restroom sanitization and cleaning
• Other janitorial services as needed

In addition, a day porter service adds a presence and a touch of professionalism that all businesses can benefit from, particularly on days when important clients, potential clients, and important visitors stop by the office.
