Many offices are the cause of employees allergy and asthma triggers. Regular Office Cleaning can help to increase productivity in your office and make your workplace a healthier one.

Here are some tips for a healthier office.

Don't depend on disinfectants

So often, managers of offices believe that using disinfectants will reduce asthma and allergy triggers, However one of the most effective is more regular in depth techniques like carpet cleaning, dusting and extraction. This gets rid of dust mites and other pollutants that prompt asthma attacks.

Empty vacuums regularly

To guarantee dust mites stay at an effective minimum, empty vacuum bags before they're full. When bags are approximately one third to half full, empty them so vacuums can stay absolutely useful in the removal of dust mites and other waste.

Dust regularly

Dusting is imperative in the removal of dust mites, especially in facilities that do not have carpet. Dust all surfaces on a very regular basis using microfiber cloths, as these will be best in capturing dust mites and other asthma triggers. Additionally, also consider dust mopping on a regular or scheduled basis as well, the frequency will be based on facility use and occupancy levels.

Maintain Air Conditioning and heating units

Every month, change or clean aircon and heating unit filters to guarantee dust mites don't recirculate into the building. Think about employing filter enhancers which can sometimes be sprayed on units to help trap more waste and antigens.

Increase carpet and floor covering washing frequency

If the facility has carpet, guarantee all vacuums are fitted out with a High Efficiency Particulate Air ( HEPA ) filter. HEPA filters are most efficient in the removal of the common pollutants that trigger asthma and allergies. In a commercial facility, deep clean carpets at least a few times a year. In facilities with elevated levels of foot traffic, consider deep cleaning on a bi-monthly basis.

Limit mould growth

Mould is another main trigger that will cause complications for asthma and allergic people. Increase cleaning frequencies of areas that could be subject to mould growth like toilets, kitchens and window coverings. Anywhere that humidity is higher than normal.

Focus upon overlooked areas

As well as carpets and flooring, focus on other areas of the building that occupants use often. As an example, in offices, chairs are commonly overlooked, but these can become a breeding zone for dust mites.
