subject: Periodical Cleaning And Long-term Maintenance [print this page] Periodical cleaning ensures the long-term presentation of your office is maintained.
A Periodical Cleaning service covers areas of you office that are not usually cleaned as part of an ongoing service. This may include:
Cleaning inside light diffusers
Wiping down high ledges and cabinets
Extraction cleaning and shampooing carpets
Cleaning upholstery
Re-surfacing resilient flooring
Cleaning inside of kitchen cupboards, fridges and freezers
Wiping down ceiling fans
Cleaning high windows and glass walls
Cleaning blinds
Cleaning artwork and dusting plants
Cleaning breezeways
Maintenance cleaning ensures that the money you spend refurbishing your office lasts longer. It also assists in keeping costs down allows tradespeople to concentrate on priority maintenance.
This type of service may include:
Cleaning air-con vents and filters
Cleaning fridge coils
Cleaning extraction vents
Clearing sink traps and steam-cleaning floor/sink wastes
Scrubbing marks from walls, doors and ceilings
Pressure cleaning outdoor surfaces such as walls, pathways and car parks
As an example, having light-coloured walls scrubbed yearly or every two years potentially adds between three to five years to the life of the presentation. Given the size of the office, spending $300 - $1000 every one to two years certainly works out to be more worthwhile than spending $10,000 - $15,000 re-painting.
Having your air-con filters cleaned regularly not only assists with the optimum performance of your air-conditioning system, it also ensures that when tradespeople are servicing the hardware, they are not wasting time and your money on a task that is more cheaply performed by a cleaning company. Their time is better spent on actual trade maintenance.
Regular attention to sink traps and floor/sink wastes helps prevent the build-up of hair and other detritus that leads to a blockage followed by an expensive plumbing call-out. A plumber should only be needed in the case of unavoidable emergencies not preventable events. Given that for some reason these emergencies tend to follow Murphys Law occur after hours, the savings are considerable and quickly apparent.
