Three Most Common Janitorial Mistakes

Cleaning has never been an easy task for anyone who does it for someone else. You will always find complaints

and scope for improvement if you are a janitorial services professional. Different people (allow me to talk about

every one of them) have different opinions about how a particular thing or area can be cleaned. This stands

especially true in case of commercial janitorial services. We will see the most common mistakes that amateurs

and professionals make in the following paragraphs.

Washroom Cleaning:

It is a universal fact that people are finicky about using public toilets. Many take lot of time inside just for preparing

their seat, i.e. ensuring they don’t even accidentally touch the toilet seat surface while ‘at it.’ Agreed that the

practice is for staying away from diseases and infections but the volley of complaints and suggestions about it just

doesn’t seem to end.

So, here’s the deal, the below mentioned factors are to be highly avoided when you are engaged for cleaning

services. These are the common mistakes pointed out by the administration and individual users.

- water leakage and wet floors

- clogged toilets

- smelly floors

- overflowing trash bins

- no soap dispensers

- running out of toilet tissues

Floor Cleaning:

Nothing seems as disgusting as a floor with hair and bits of food strewn all over. Hair looks good only on the head,

not on floors. Imagine you going to work on a Monday and you still feel the weekend treat smell around you as you

enter, only difference being that the odor is stale! Janitorial services are responsible for keeping the area infection

free, especially in health care facilities.

Different types of floors different handling and cleaning. Experts should be prepared and acquainted with the floors

they have to clean. A wooden floor needs different type of stripping and cleaning routine than marble flooring.

Odor Management:

Another of the most common complaints from users is bad odor. Be it the washrooms, toilets, wash basins, public

bathrooms, office floors, industrial floors, clinics, etc. presence of bad smell is directly associated with unhygienic

conditions. This doesn’t indicate that a sweet smelling room is fully disinfected and clean. Bad smell often stems

from unclean cleaning materials, for example, the cloth or mop with long fibers that is used for mopping the floors

will obviously smell if it is not washed properly after cleaning.

These were the three most common mistakes that are highlighted in every complaint forum about commercial

janitorial services. Keeping a regular tab on the cleaning routines will ensure to avoid these problems. The job of

cleaning is not as simple as it may seem so contribute your bit when you use a clean toilet by ensuring you leave it

as you found it.
