We all know having clean windows looks great and reflects well on your brand identity, but did you know they can also contribute to health? The health of your employees and visitors should be a top priority in your buildings’ maintenance schedule, therefore clean windows are a MUST as their abilities stem much further than a smudge-free surface. In this blog post, we discuss reasons as to why you should add window cleaning to your list of necessities.
Allergy Reduction
Allergens dominate the office, these germs are often the reason for illness in the workplace which ultimately affects productivity levels for a business. One way of reducing sickness is having clean windows. A window and windowsill often carry some of the worst allergens contributing to employees becoming sick, some of those found include dust, hair and pollen. With pollen count reaching extreme levels this summer, you should definitely have a professional cleaning service making sure your office is sanitary. All of the microscopic allergens can cause problems such as headaches, itchy eyes, problems with breathing, coughing, sneezing, fatigue and nausea.
Insects
The number of insects increases during the warmer months. Spiders in particular often live in windows as they are a convenient place to catch flies or other insects. They will build webs and nests in the corners or underneath your windowsill, therefore regular cleaning is essential in order to keep them from inhabiting your office. Insect bites increase in the summer months, therefore reducing the likelihood of this happening is essential. Remember to delicately remove them and release them outside!
Mould Control
Mould loves moist and warm areas, window condensation can be the ideal home to thrive. Mould can be visible or invisible, therefore regularly using cleaning professionals is recommend as they have specialist cleaning products to reduce, remove and prevent mould from developing. Mould is especially important to remove and prevent as it can make allergies worse or even cause respiratory infections which have the ability to become life-threatening.
Lifespan
Dirt and debris can take its toll on windows, therefore regular cleaning allows them to last a lot longer than if they were left to collect particles. Dirt can etch into the glass causing scratches and blemishes affecting the quality, and visual aspect of your windows, which contributes to a brand's identity.
Safety
Window washing can be a dangerous task, especially if they are tall which require a ladder. Therefore, having a professional service which has the training and experience will take the danger out of maintaining a clean environment.
