Hygiene Services

Written by Karen Bates (last updated May 28, 2018)

Regardless of a company's size, there are certain maintenance issues that must be attended to on a regular basis. General cleaning of the building and upkeep of grounds are one important component of overall cleanliness, as well as properly caring for plumbing fixtures, deep-cleaning of various parts of the building, replacing and maintaining electrical fixtures, and more.

One important part of building maintenance includes hygiene. Proper hygiene must be kept up in various aspects of your business. This includes bathrooms and kitchen areas in particular, and proper hygiene must be enforced to prevent the spread of disease and unsanitary working conditions.

Although some smaller businesses may be able to keep up with all of these things without hiring an outside company, it can be especially helpful for larger businesses to hire a hygiene service to take care of hygiene-related issues. A hygiene service offers qualified technicians to take care of cleanliness issues within your business so you can be assured that the task is executed correctly.

Hygiene service technicians are primarily concerned with the cleanliness of the restrooms in your business. Their work may involve deep cleaning of toilets, urinals, sinks, floors, hand dryers, paper towel dispensers, and other parts of the bathroom area. Along with sanitizing surfaces, the technicians may pay special attention to de-contaminating specific areas that are especially prone to germs, such as the ceramic on toilets and urinals. These surfaces will be stripped of any stuck-on mildew, uric acid, and mold. The technician will use an effective disinfectant to kill germs and make sure surfaces such as door knobs, handles, and faucets will be safe to come in contact with.

Hygiene services may also be required in a kitchen setting. Because cleanliness is so important when it comes to food preparation, hygiene specialist technicians can be a huge asset when your kitchen needs deep cleaning. A technician can use chemicals and specialized equipment to sanitize the kitchen and reduce the likelihood of germs spreading and infecting people. Hygiene services may also be of use in other situations, such as in hospitals, schools, homes, retail stores, apartment complexes, hotels, and more.

Hygiene service specialists can come to your business as often as you need, and you can speak with the business to come up with a plan detailing how often you will need your office deep-cleaned and what exactly you need them to do. Choose the best hygiene service for your situation by doing some research beforehand.
