A regular and thorough cleaning schedule is essential for managing the health and wellbeing of employees in a commercial business, and while improved air quality might not be the first thing you think of when considering the benefits of commercial cleaning, it is true that a professional cleaning regime can significantly impact good air quality and employee morale.
Businesses invest significantly in air quality, especially through HVAC systems. A great commercial cleaning service complements this by supporting employee health, enhancing comfort, and reducing long-term maintenance costs. In this article, we’ll look at how to achieve this and how cleaning services play a direct role in improving air quality in commercial buildings.
Removing pollutants
Airborne pollutants pose the greatest threat to air quality, as they can linger and recirculate if allowed to settle on surfaces, furniture, or within HVAC systems.
Regularly cleaning dust, dirt, allergens and bacteria from these areas will prevent them becoming airborne and subsequently inhaled. This can prevent illnesses being picked up, which has a direct impact on absenteeism and overall employee productivity.
Reduce mould and mildew
Mould and mildew thrive in damp, poorly ventilated spaces, often forming as a result of condensation. Not only do they damage surfaces, they can trigger allergies, irritate the respiratory system, and even contribute to feelings of fatigue and low energy. In more severe cases, prolonged exposure can lead to significant health concerns.
Left unchecked, mould and mildew can also be difficult to remove and may cause materials to deteriorate beyond repair, leading to costly replacements. A consistent, thorough cleaning routine (especially around windows) not only protects the health of employees, but it also helps preserve building materials, ultimately reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Improved ventilation
A ventilation system should be regularly cleaned and maintained, including air ducts and filters to ensure optimal performance. This helps maintain consistent airflow throughout the building, allowing stale air to be efficiently removed and replaced with fresh, clean air.
Consistent air circulation not only supports balanced humidity levels but also creates a more comfortable and stable indoor environment, helping employees stay focussed and at ease throughout the day.
Deodorising
While we usually associate poor air quality with physical pollutants, such as dust, dirt, allergens and bacteria, air quality is also impacted by unpleasant smells, which can be equally disruptive. Lingering smells can affect concentration, morale, and overall atmosphere of a space.
A well-planned cleaning schedule helps pinpoint and eliminate the sources of these odours, creating a fresher, more welcoming environment where people feel comfortable and able to engage positively with their surroundings.
