The greater Boston area has its fair share of offices. From Framingham to Lowell and Waltham to Bean Town itself, the office environment is a staple in this part of the world. Unfortunately, New England weather can make keeping our offices a real job.
New England’s distinct seasonal weather creates challenges in each successive season. Years of experience give All Pro Cleaning Systems a decided edge regardless of the season. But we still need to pay attention to summer heat, spring rain, cooler conditions in the fall, and the mess that comes with winter snow, ice, and slush.
Is Boston’s weather wreaking havoc on your office? If so, All Pro Cleaning Systems could be the solution to some of your problems. Office cleaning is in our DNA. We know how to do it right, regardless of the weather outside.
Cleaning Boston in the Winter
Winter is the most challenging time to clean offices in Boston. Our neck of the woods is famous for snow and ice. With snow and ice come road and sidewalk deicers. The combination creates all sorts of dirt, sludge, and water that employees track into the office on a daily basis.
Office cleaning during the winter has three big focuses:
- Foot Traffic Residue – All the stuff employees track into the office ends up as residue on floors, stairwells, etc. If it is not dealt with, it dries out and eventually becomes airborne dirt that settles on desks and office equipment.
- Floor Damage – Even with quick and proactive cleaning, winter weather causes damage to office floors. Both carpets and hard surfaces are subject to winter damage. That means we need to stay on top of it.
- Employee Safety – We need to be especially concerned about employee safety during the winter. A combination of no-slip floor mats and frequent cleaning reduces the risk of slip and fall accidents on office floors.
New England winters are notorious for making messes. We do whatever it takes to keep those messes from overrunning your office.
Cleaning Boston in the Spring
The arrival of spring brings pollen. And pollen means allergies. Spring also brings with it ample rain in the northeast. How does this impact office cleaning in Boston?
We need to be more concerned about indoor air quality so that allergy sufferers have an easier time. And even though spring brings an end to ice and snow, we still need to pay attention to rain, mud, and dirt. Floors are still a priority during the spring.
Cleaning Boston in the Summer
Summer creates an entirely different cleaning paradigm in the Northeast. We aren’t so worried about precipitation, but humidity becomes a problem. During the summer months, we need to clean with the knowledge that mold and mildew are waiting for a chance to break out.
During dry spells, dust becomes a problem. It gets in through open windows and HVAC air returns. So during the summer, we usually find ourselves dusting more frequently.
Cleaning Boston in the Fall
Fall is perhaps the easiest season for Boston office cleaning. Allergens are not much of a problem, the humidity has died down, and winter’s wrath has not yet arrived. The biggest concern during the fall months is the organic debris associated with falling leaves. That’s easy enough to handle with regular mopping, sweeping, and vacuuming.
It seems like everywhere you look in the Boston area, you’ll find office buildings and complexes. They keep us busy, that’s for sure. Thanks to a proliferation of offices and the northeast’s distinct seasons, we have a lot of offices to keep clean.
