4 Workplace Problems Cleaning Can help you solve  

The factors of production is not complete the labor force. You need people regardless of your scale of business. In a bit to reduce production time and reduce human error, some production processes have been automated thanks to the advancement in technology.

However, the labour part is still hard to do away with because you need someone to operate these special machines. Employees are critical to the success of any business, if you recruit wrongly, your company’s objectives may not be met. This is the reason most businesses now have a Human Resource Department to ensure that they employ the best candidates for vacant offices. For businesses who are unable to create HR office, they outsource vacancies to reputable other HR companies.

4 Workplace Problems Cleaning Can help you solve  

Here are 4 ways to use a cleaning company to create a happy, healthy team.

 

  1. Improve Motivation and Commitment

Staff who work in a clean office feel that they are cared for more than those who report to a dirty or unsafe workspace. Overflowing trash, unsanitary bathrooms, and even disorganization of supplies gives the impression that staff (and customers) aren’t important enough to have a clean workspace.

For instance, employees who have a health insurance package are more likely to be more committed to work compared to those who do not have. They tend to see the success and progress of the company they work for with more seriousness.

 

  1. Improve Staff Loyalty

When the standard is set for a high level of cleanliness, employees are most like to follow suit and show pride for their work place.

More common is staffs taking photo-selfies and posting them on their social media pages whether for promotional purposes or for personal use – this wouldn’t be possible if their workplace isn’t not looking clean.

It helps to create a cleaning culture among staff, no staff will like to see his or her desk and floors littered with paper and food crumbs, because ants and rodent get attracted to food crumbs, and we all know what menace rodents can be in the workplace.

Truly, your employees may not begin cleaning the bathrooms, but they are more likely to pick up dirts on the floor or return office stationaries to the appropriate place of storage after us.

At Kleenrite, we reinforced the essence of this culture among the employees of the site where our services are required.

 

  1. Reduce Sick Leave

Employees are like component of a machine, if one part is missing it is impossible for a the machine to function at full capacity, depending on who is missing at work, some processes don’t even work because their skill and expertise is most critical in the production processes.

Having a clean environment to work and live in will reduce the cross contamination, which effectively reduces the spread of disease among employee. You will recall that washing of hands and the use of hand sanitizers were part of the precautionary measure against the spread of coronavirus. Good cleaning practice improves the quality of air.

 

  1. Help you focus on Core Job function

It will be hard to get the best from your staff if you include cleaning to their job function. Imagine having your secretary to mob the floor every morning, they will look all stressed out even before they start the days job. This is not a healthy practice and it should be discouraged.

Without the proper equipment, training, or cleaning supplies, employees could create a dangerous situation for themselves or others. The best option is for company to employ or assign the job to someone who have some kind of experience in cleaning, it could be outsourced or assigned to someone in-house.

5 Cleaning Tips for Schools

After an eventful academic year 2020, schools are now looking forward to the Christmas and End of year break. Just like we are optimistic for a better 43year 2020, so are you!

We might not be able to say how tomorrow might be, but one thing is certain, we can plan for tomorrow. You can plan your cleaning!

5 Cleaning Tips for Schools

We have some 5 school cleaning tips you can adopt to make your school look like you were never gone on holidays. Or would you rather spend the first week 0f resumption cleaning the school?

  1. Create a checklist of cleaning activities

A checklist will only help to optimize all your tasks.  Draw up a list of areas to be cleaned and indicate its status whether it’s completed or not. It’s also helpful to create an inventory list of everything you have so that you can appropriately get needed materials.

  1. Clean on the go

It is important to clean the classroom before the school closes for the year. Stark up the desk and chairs such that a larger part of the floor is empty because, throughout the school year, layers of germs and bacteria build up on school floors and surfaces, so take advantage of the fact that the classrooms and halls are now empty, and use this time to perform a thorough deep cleaning.

  1. Take a picture

Pictures will help you know how things within the classrooms were before cleaning. It will help you see and remember what worked and what didn’t when it came to your classroom. It’s a way you can also assess the level of work done.

Professional cleaners also take the before and after pictures of area cleaned as part of their portfolio.

  1. Pack and label

When packing up the classroom at the end of the year, you must keep it organized, by packing a similar object in the same boxes or bags. But be sure to label them accordingly.

Let all stationary be packed in a different box, art object be kept together and label appropriately. Paste the ‘fragile’ sticker or tape on appropriate boxes. It will make it much easier to put the classroom together at the beginning of the next school year because you can work section by section until the room is completed.

  1. Restroom and classroom disinfection

Disinfection of all surfaces, no matter how big or small is crucial for the health and safety of students and employees. During rainy/ cold season6, schools are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses, and disinfection can help reduce the number of sick people and absences.

Teachers should do regular disinfection of all surfaces in their classroom, especially doorknobs, desks, chairs, sponges, activity tools and toys, sinks, computer screens, keyboards, mice, and light switches.

Cleaning staff should disinfect bathrooms, kitchens, and common areas several times a day. Make sure each room in the school has a box of cleaning supplies at hand for everyday use or to handle any accidents.

With Covid-19 still affecting the school system, when students head to the wash hand basin, they often leave behind germs on the faucet knobs and sink itself. These areas should be sprayed with chemical treatments before using a wet vac or squeegee device to remove the soil.

Action point

School cleaning should be part of the student’s routine activities because it makes them conscious of their environment. Upon resumption of the school, they can easily put the classroom together again.

Children are venerable to infections, diseases are easily transmitted from one child to another. So the schools must continue to follow the Covid – 19 prevention and management guidelines. It is also important children are thought of the need to live and study in a clean environment.
