We Clean Medical Facilities, Daycares and Preschools

We Clean Medical Facilities, Daycares and Preschools

When you go to the doctor or take a family member in, you want to be assured that the doctor’s office is CLEAN.  Sometimes, carpets and floors are forgotten or neglected when germy surfaces are being cleaned in medical facilities. That’s where Cincinnati Maintenance can help!
It goes without saying, certain types of businesses need the carpets cleaned more often than others:

  • Daycare centers and preschools benefit from weekly or twice-per-month cleaning because small children frequently play games on the floor or have “carpet time” for story-reading, etc.  Some rooms at a daycare have “crawlers,” where the children are on the floor constantly and often putting things that have been on the floor in their mouths.
  • Medical facilities benefit from a deep floor clean every one-to-three months.  During flu season or a time of especially prevalent viruses/illnesses, cleaning more often is recommended.

Did you know that harmful germs creep down in crevices and grooves of tile and grout? Floors and bathroom tile areas need professional cleaning as well.
Cincinnati Maintenance takes the cleaning of medical buildings and offices as well as buildings frequented by children seriously, and we help them maintain the highest level of cleanliness available.

Cold and Flu Season Is Soon Upon Us!

Cold and Flu Season Is Soon Upon Us!

Cold and flu season is soon upon us! And other nasty bugs abound during this time of year, too.  Did you know the norovirus can live on a carpet’s uncleaned surface for a month or more? Ugh.  Illness is inevitable – kids bring home germs from school, there’s lots of get-togethers and parties for the holidays where you’re around more people, and even more people are out grocery shopping to buy for the holiday feasts — touching those grocery carts. Eww.
No one can completely avoid every illness that goes around, but keeping your business or home as clean as possible clean can sure go a long way in preventative care!
Last January we blogged about how we are frequently asked how often to clean the carpets in businesses such as medical clinics or daycares. Here is our rule of thumb: Certain types of businesses need the carpets cleaned more often than others.  For instance, daycares could benefit from weekly or twice-per-month cleaning because small children are crawling around and constantly put things that have been on the floor in their mouths.  Hopefully no one is putting anything in their mouth that’s been on the doctor’s office floor, but, nevertheless, every one-to-three months is good timing for medical facilities to have a deep floor clean.  During pandemic or a time of especially hard-hitting viruses, obviously more often can only benefit the reduction of germs.
Homeowners may want to consider some extra cleaning during “sickness season,” too.  A couple of tips for the home:

  • An area that is often overlooked is tile and grout.  Those grooves and crevices of tile and grout floors can get really gross and germy, too.  Don’t forget that these areas need deep, professional cleaning, too.
  • If you have someone in your home who suffers from allergies or asthma, vacuum regularly and considering professional cleaning more often. Read more about carpet cleaning versus allergies here.

Cincinnati Maintenance cares about our customers, their homes and their businesses. While we obviously can’t say we prevent illness, professional cleaning can be a powerful tool to help combat it!

Frequent Carpet and Tile Cleaning is Imperative in Medical Facilities – Particularly during Flu Season! Cincinnati Relies on us!

I recently posted on Social Media how the norovirus can live on a carpet’s uncleaned surface for a month or more.  Now, with flu season upon us and, well, really any time, medical facilities need to clean ALL their surfaces – and oftentimes, carpets and floors are forgotten or neglected when germy surfaces are being cleaned.
Cincinnati Maintenance is frequently asked, “How often should we clean the carpets?”  We covered this in a blog post a couple of months ago, but it bears repeating that certain types of businesses need the carpets cleaned more often than others.  For instance, daycares could benefit from weekly or twice-per-month cleaning because small children are crawling around and constantly put things that have been on the floor in their mouths.  Hopefully no one is putting anything in their mouth that’s been on the doctor’s office floor, but, nevertheless, every one-to-three months is good timing for medical facilities to have a deep floor clean.  During pandemic or a time of especially hard-hitting viruses, obviously more often can only benefit the reduction of germs.
Another area that is often overlooked is tile and grout.  All kinds of germy messes can creep down in the grooves and crevices of tile and grout floors.  Please do not forget that these areas need deep, professional cleaning, too.
Cincinnati Maintenance cares about our customers and our customer’s customers.  We are proud to help medical buildings and offices maintain the highest level of cleanliness available to keep good health a primary focus.
