With longer days, warmer weather, and staff on holiday, it’s easy to let certain routines slide during the summer months. But when it comes to your workplace or commercial cleaning schedule, now is not the time to ease up. In fact, summer brings a whole new set of challenges for offices, industrial sites, and public spaces, making professional cleaning services more essential than ever.

Here’s why relaxing your routine could be a costly mistake and how to stay ahead of seasonal hygiene risks with the right support in place.


1. Warm Weather = Bacteria’s Favourite Season

Warmer temperatures create the perfect conditions for bacteria, viruses, and mould to thrive, especially in washrooms, communal kitchens, and high-touch areas. Without regular deep cleaning and disinfection, germs can multiply fast, causing odours, grime, and even health hazards.

Solution: Maintain a consistent cleaning schedule and increase the frequency of cleans in high-risk zones. Our outsourced hygiene services can support you with sanitisation, consumables, and washroom maintenance, tailored to your site’s needs.


2. More Pests, More Problems

Summer brings an increase in pest activity, particularly around food prep areas, bins, and communal spaces. Flies, ants, and wasps are attracted to crumbs, spills, and waste—putting your reputation and hygiene standards at risk.

Solution: Our team provides daily contract cleaning and specialist hygiene support to help you stay on top of waste, food areas, and floors, keeping pests at bay and hygiene under control.


3. Increased Footfall = Higher Demand

For sectors like hospitality, retail, logistics and warehousing, summer often means more traffic, leading to busier washrooms, scuffed floors, and general wear and tear.

Solution: We’ll work with you to review and adapt your commercial cleaning rota to meet seasonal demand. From daytime cleaners to responsive hygiene support, we ensure your premises stay clean and welcoming—no matter how busy it gets.


4. Neglect Can Lead to Long-Term Damage

Letting grime build up during the summer doesn’t just affect appearance, it can lead to long-term damage to floors, carpets, ventilation systems, and industrial equipment. Fixing issues later often costs more than consistent upkeep.

Solution: Prevent costly repairs by scheduling specialist cleaning services, including floor polishing, carpet shampooing, air duct cleaning, and industrial deep cleans. We offer industrial cleaning solutions for environments with specialist tools, machinery, and materials.


5. Staff Health and Productivity Are at Stake

Fewer people in the workplace over the summer means less coverage when someone’s ill. A clean working environment plays a vital role in reducing sickness, preventing allergies, and supporting productivity.

Solution: Safeguard your staff’s wellbeing with a clean, sanitised workplace. Our team ensures that your premises meet the highest standards of cleanliness, helping reduce absence and boost morale.
