Here’s Why You Should Hire Cleaning Services for Medical Offices

Name: D's Cleaning Service
Telephone: 225-572-9497

One place that needs frequent and routine cleaning to prevent the spread of illness and germs is a medical office. Medical offices are a hub for germs and illnesses with unwell patients walking in and out throughout the day. That’s why it’s practical to hire a professional cleaning service like D’s Cleaning Service to take care of sanitizing medical offices.

Professional Cleaners Use High-Quality Cleaning Supplies for Medical Offices

Professional cleaners like the ones at D’s Cleaning Service use powerful disinfectant solutions that are meant to prevent the distribution of germs and fast spreading illnesses like the flu. These disinfectants used are EPA-approved and can handle the type of deep cleaning a medical office need.

There’s also a difference between cleaning and disinfecting. The CDC reports that cleaning works to remove germs while disinfecting works to kill germs. Typical cleaning uses soaps or detergents and water to remove germs from surfaces. It only removes them. In disinfecting, chemicals are introduced to kill germs – lowering the risk of spreading infections.

It’s not just about using the right cleaning supplies but also keeping the used cleaning tools sanitized. This tactic also reduces the spread of germs.

Medical Cleaning Services Will Cover All Surfaces

A checklist will ensure that all surfaces are covered. Medical offices have a number of rooms and surface areas that can easily be missed. A few areas where cleaning should be focused on are:

Cabinets
Countertops
Sinks
Bedrails
Doorknobs
Computer keyboards
Chairs
Light switches
And more

Why Hire D’s Cleaning to Clean Your Medical Office

D’s Cleaning uses industrial-grade products to meet a top-quality cleaning standard for your medical office. Our flexibility lets us come to you when you want us. Whether you need someone before business hours, a few days a week, or every day after hours, we will schedule according to your business hours to keep your office hygienic and ready for business.

Prevent the Flu from Spreading in Your Office – Don’t Let the Flu Take Your Employees Down

Flu season is around the corner. Everything will be fine until one day when you walk into your office and notice it’s full of sad, sniffling employees struggling to work through a heavy brain fog. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If you start preparing yourself now, you can skip the flu outbreak and have a much happier, healthier winter. We at D’s Cleaning want to help you stop the flu virus before it takes your employees down. We’ve compiled a list of some helpful tips to help you prevent the flu from spreading and keep your office running efficiently.

Use Flu-Fighting Products to Prevent the Flu from Spreading

Did you know that cleaning your office with basic cleaning products doesn’t get rid of the flu virus? You need to use a high-quality flu disinfectant cleaning product to kill the virus. Check the labels and do some research on your cleaning products to make sure they are capable of fighting off that nasty virus. If not, you may just be spreading the germs around.

At D’s Cleaning, we use safe, industrial grade cleaning products that kill the flu virus from all surfaces. If you’re in need of a meticulous team of cleaners with an impressive collection of top-quality products at hand, call D’s Cleaning Service today. We’ll help keep your employees safe from the flu so you can keep your business running efficiently through flu season.

Disinfect All Surfaces, Especially These Virus Hot Spots

It’s easy to wipe down the countertops, clean the bathroom, tidy the kitchen, and think your office is clean. Your office looks clean, but germs and bacteria are running rampant on all your most frequently touched surfaces. These virus hot spots need to be attacked with a high-quality flu disinfectant frequently to prevent the virus from infecting your employees. When disinfecting your office this flu season, don’t neglect these major virus hot spots:

Computer Mice and Keyboards
Desks and Computers
Door Handles
Fridge Handles
Kitchenware
Remote Controls
Sinks and Faucet Handles
Telephones
Toilets and Toilet Handles
Towels

Keep the Office Kitchen Sparkling Clean to Prevent the Flu from Spreading

Do you have an office kitchen with a shared coffee station, mugs, cups, and plates? If so, you need to be extra careful about preventing the spread of flu germs in your office kitchen. In this area where people are constantly eating and drinking, one contaminated cup or coffee pot could take down half the office.

To keep your employees safe, maintain a high standard of cleanliness in the kitchen. Use a high-quality disinfecting dish detergent like the orange Dawn Ultra Antibacterial dish soap. You may need to post a friendly reminder near the sink to remind employees to wash their dishes thoroughly and immediately before restocking them. Wipe down the countertops, cabinet handles, and coffee pot handles with flu-fighting disinfectant frequently. With these simple tips, you can keep your office kitchen clean and germ-free.

Keep Your Employees Happy, Healthy, and Hydrated

You can decrease your employees’ likelihood of becoming infected with the flu ten-fold with the above helpful tips, but there’s no way to completely eliminate this dangerous, invisible virus. A strong immune system is the key to keeping viruses and bacteria at bay.

Your employees are less likely to contract the flu virus if they are maintaining their immune systems with healthy habits and less stress. Make sure to have a water station at your office and encourage your employees to stay extra hydrated this season. Maintain a happy, positive workplace environment, because stress increases the likelihood of getting sick. Encourage your employees to maintain healthy eating and sleeping habits.

These healthy habits will strengthen your employees’ immune systems so they can fight off any germs, bacteria, or viruses that come their way.

D’s Cleaning Can Help Keep Your Office Flu-Free

Overall, use disinfectant cleaning products, don’t neglect virus hot spots, and make sure your employees are taking good care of themselves this flu season. And if you’re in need of an expert cleaning service with high quality, flu-fighting products, call D’s Cleaning. We can help you keep your office disinfected and sparkling clean. We’ll be your first line of defense against germs, bacteria, and viruses. We won’t let sickness take your employees down this winter.

Make a Great First Impression with D’s Tips for a Clean Office

Posted on August 13, 2019August 13, 2019 DonaldLeave a commentPosted in Cleaning Tips

Impress New Clients Before You Meet Them with These Tips for a Clean Office

First impressions are important to everyone. When someone is going to an interview, they dress up, speak respectfully, and try to carry themselves well. Why? Because if they make a bad first impression, it makes it more difficult for them to find a job.

Businesses have the same problem. If a prospective client walks into a business and sees a messy lobby, dirty restroom, or grimy windows, they will think twice before purchasing from that business. At D’s Cleaning, we want to help your business make the best first impression it can with these tips for a clean office.

A Messy Lobby Equals Lost Customers

Think about it—when you go into a business you’ve never been to before, what do you look for? If you go into a doctor’s or dentist’s office and the lobby is cluttered, the floors need to be cleaned, and there’s dust everywhere, you probably will think twice about sticking with that medical professional. The same thing applies to you and your business. Your lobby should be organized and free of dust, and the floors should be free from dirt and debris.

Your lobby is the first thing a potential customer will see, and they will form a negative opinion of you and your business based on that. When you have a clean lobby, it shows you pay attention to detail and care about the little things. Now, most business owners don’t have time to clean themselves and are too busy working on other business matters. Luckily, D’s Cleaning Service offers a general cleaning service to keep your lobby looking fresh and clean.

Dirty Restrooms Will Send Clients Running

Our next tip for a clean office is a big one—make sure your bathrooms are clean. If you’ve ever encountered a dirty restroom at a place of business, you know how uncomfortable it makes you feel. In fact, an independent study reported 94 percent of customers would avoid a business in the future if they encountered a messy bathroom.

If your business has a sparkling clean restroom, it will reflect positively on you and your business. Bathrooms should be stocked frequently, smell fresh, and the mirrors and floors should be cleaned regularly. If you want to make a good first impression with clients and employees, but don’t have the time or staff to maintain your restrooms, check out a general cleaning service.

Funky Windows Stop the Sun and the Money Coming In

Windows are the first thing people notice when they visit your business. Windows are kind of like your hair—when it’s messy, everyone notices. If your windows are dirty, it will be an immediate turn-off to future customers. Also, dirty windows will make your lobby look dull by blocking bright sunlight from streaming through the windows.

Your office windows should be crystal clear and spotless. To keep them clean, they should be wiped down with glass cleaner at least once per week. However, once they have gotten grimy and dirty on the outside, it will take more than a little elbow grease to clean them. Seek out a commercial cleaner that has a window cleaning service. Professionals, like D’s Cleaning Service, will wipe your windows back to a sparkling clean that will have you and your customers seeing the light once more.

When You Need Your Office Cleaned, Call D’s Cleaning

Making a good first impression is easy when you follow these office cleaning tips. When your lobby, restrooms, and windows are clean, new clients will be impressed and want to continue to do business with your company. Unfortunately, most business owners simply don’t have enough time to worry about cleaning. If you need professional cleaning services, call D’s Cleaning Service. We will work with you within your schedule to keep your office sparkling and help you keep the sales rolling in.

How Do Germs Spread in Your Office?

Germs Spread Quickly in the Office and Leave You Out of Commission. Protect Yourself with These Five Ways to Stay Healthy.

It’s Monday morning, and you just pulled into work. You know you only have to make it to Friday, and then you can enjoy the vacation you’ve been looking forward to for months. In four days, you’ll be standing on a beach in Florida with the sun and the waves. You can already feel the sun in your hair. It’s going to be GREAT! As your coworker settles in next to you, you hear her coughing and sneezing but think nothing of it. Two days later, you’re sick as a dog. That vacation you’ve been looking forward to—canceled. How did this happen, you ask? Office spaces are crawling with germs. You may not see them, but they are there. Luckily D’s Cleaning Service is here to make sure you never have to cancel another vacation again!

One Little Cough Ruined Your Vacation. Here’s How it Happened

We’ve all woken up sick and drug our feet to work even though we really shouldn’t have. Everyone knows germs spread quickly, especially through cramped office spaces, but how fast do germs really spread? According to a study by the University of Arizona, one sick person can spread germs to 50 percent of the most commonly touched office surfaces in as little as four hours. By the end of the workday, that number jumps to 70 percent. These surfaces range from the coffee pot handle to doorknobs to light switches. Community technology, such as phones and copy machines were contaminated as well. The researches calculated that employees face a 40 to 90 percent chance of infection—all because one person decided to go into work sick! The next time you wake up sick, do your coworkers a favor and stay home.

What Precautions Can You Take to Prevent Germs Spreading?

Desks and cubicles are a hotspot for germs to multiply. In fact, researchers found the average desk harbors 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. Don’t quit your office job yet though! There are specific precautions you can take to prevent the spread of germs around the office and on your own desk.

If You’re Sick, Stay Home – The best way to keep germs from spreading around the office is to stay home when you’re sick. You will save the entire office from exposure and feel better sooner.
Disinfect on a Daily Basis – Wipe down your desk and technology every day with a disinfecting wipe. Bacteria levels decreased drastically (99.9 percent) when surfaces were disinfected once per day. Be sure to disinfect, not just clean!
Wash Your Hands – Washing your hands reduces the spread of germs significantly. Wash your hands after you use the restroom, before you eat, and after large meetings.
Educate Your Coworkers – Educating your office friends will make a huge impact on the spread of germs. Lead by example and take the initiative. Disinfect shared workspaces and appliances that are often missed during regular cleaning. It takes a team to keep the office clean and germ-free.
Hire a Commercial Cleaner – Hiring a commercial cleaner to clean and disinfect your office on a regular basis will help to keep germs from multiplying. Commercial cleaners clean the areas you don’t think to disinfect and can do so on a set schedule so everyone in the office is better protected.

D’s Cleaning Service Provides Effective Commercial Cleaning Services

While these tips will help with the germ problem, D’s Cleaning Service can make sure germs in the office are reduced even more. We provide weekly, monthly, or one-time standard commercial cleaning that can help stop the spread of office germs. Our general cleaning includes disinfecting those problem surfaces and thoroughly cleaning the rest of your office to leave a healthy office space. With a routine cleaning from D’s, your office will be cleaned, disinfected, and safe for you and your employees. Give D’s Cleaning Service a call and schedule your office cleaning today!

Prevent the Flu by Keeping Your Home Clean with D’s Cleaning Service

With the flu season here and most likely staying for a good while, many people are looking into ways to prevent the flu. While practicing good habits everywhere you go, such as washing your hands and not touching your mouth is good, protecting your family from the flu starts at home. Since you spend most of your time at home, you need to make sure it’s clean and that you are practicing the healthy habits there most of all.

Keep a Completely Clean Home

Germs, viruses, and bacteria tend to collect on the items we use the most every day. These places are the flu virus’s ideal spot to lurk and wait for you to pick it up, which ends with you being out of commission for a couple of weeks. To help protect your family and yourself from catching the flu, you’ll need to clean these hots spots frequently to attack and defeat those dangerous viruses.

Door Handles
Toilets and Toilet Handles
Towels
Sinks and Faucet Handles
Fridge Handles
Desks and Computers
Remote Controls
Towels
Floors

Washing towels frequently and disinfecting hard surfaces that people touch often are some of the best ways to prevent the flu from spreading to your whole family. If you have trouble cleaning your home daily because of your busy schedule, consider hiring a professional cleaning service like D’s Cleaning Service to help. D’s Cleaning Service can come to clean your home when you need and just in time for flu season.

Practice Healthy Habits

A clean home is a great start in preventing your family from catching the flu, but you’ll also want to make sure your family is practicing healthy habits as well. As stress has a major impact in weakening your immune system, you’ll want your family to stay relaxed, especially around the holidays. Also make sure your family gets plenty of sleep, exercise, and vitamins and minerals. Overall, these habits will help support your family’s immune system so it can fight off any germs it comes into contact with.

Use Flu Disinfectant

When cleaning your home and maybe even your workspace too, you’ll want to make sure the products you are using are effective against the flu. Only certain cleaners are flu disinfectants and can remove the virus from surfaces. Be sure to check which cleaners you are using for maximum protection.

At D’s Cleaning Service, we use industrial grade cleaning products to ensure your home is clean and disinfected from germs and flu viruses. If you want to be sure your home is clean, call D’s Cleaning Service today.

Wash Your Hands Often

Washing your hands often during the flu season is a must to keep the germs at bay. Not only do you need to wash your hands often, but you need to wash them with soap. Soap is essential in helping to clean germs off of your skin. You don’t even need to worry about reaching for anti-bacterial soap. In fact, the FDA issued an article stating that anti-bacterial soap is no more effective in killing germs and can actually cause problems. If you’re wondering what kind of soap to use, any regular soap in your local market will do the trick.

When flu season is in full bloom, cleaning your home and hands as well as practicing healthy habits is a must for both you and your family. Visit our blog for more cleaning tips and call D’s Cleaning Service for help in keeping your home clean in order to prevent the flu this year.

Keep Your Office Clean Even with an Office Pet

Posted on October 16, 2018October 12, 2018 DonaldLeave a commentPosted in Business

Office Pets Don’t Have to Make a Mess. Keep Your Office Clean with an Office Pet.

The trend of office pets is on the rise. After all, they decrease stress, improve morale, and are cuddly cuties that brighten everyone’s day. With more office pets gracing the halls of commercial buildings everywhere, it’s time to ask whether or not your office is clean enough for your employees with an animal on the loose. From your carpets to your kitchen, there are certain areas in your business that you need to keep extra clean when you have an office pet, and D’s Cleaning Service is here to help you do just that.

Kitchen

Your employees eat at work on a regular basis and let’s be honest, dogs, cats, and other animals aren’t known for being the cleanest creatures. Whether they track in dirt from outside or just jump on the counters after walking around in the office, an animal in the kitchen is not sanitary. Your kitchen is already one of the dirtiest places in your office, so keeping it clean while adding in a pet is an extra challenge. You’ll need to do something about the bacteria, food crumbs, and germs that lurk on the counters and tables where your employees eat and prepare food.

To keep your employees healthy, D’s Cleaning Services puts special care into cleaning your company’s kitchen, especially when you have an office pet. From wiping away germs on the counters to sanitizing tables, your company’s kitchen will be spotless after we clean even when you have roaming pets.

Carpets

While pets do a lot for moral, they sometimes can hurt your employees’ overall health. According to Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, more than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies each year and six out of 10 are exposed to cat or dog dander regularly. With so many people suffering from allergies, having an office pet could be causing some of your employees to suffer symptoms such as scratchy eyes, congestion, skin rashes, coughing and more. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, suggests improving air quality by vacuuming, dusting, and washing.

At D’s Cleaning Service, we can help improve air quality by cutting down on pet dander with services including general cleaning, carpet shampooing, and dusting.

Windows

First impressions are important, and pets can make great ones when they greet visitors with a tail wag or a friendly meow. Unfortunately, your office pet can also cause you to make a bad first impression with untidy office windows. Nose prints on the doors and windows from your furry friend don’t always look that great to visiting business partners or clients. You can end up looking a little unprofessional with smudges on all your glass. D’s Cleaning Service cleans all those smudges away so your pets and your clients have a clear view.

When you have D’s Cleaning Service as your commercial cleaner, you won’t need to worry about keeping your office clean even when you have an office pet. Keep loving your office pet and all the joy it brings while keeping your office clean by calling us today.

Preparing Your Office for the Winter

Posted on February 13, 2018January 31, 2018 DonaldLeave a commentPosted in Business, Carpet, Cleaning

Stay Happy and Healthy by Cleaning Your Office During the Winter Regularly

During the winter, keeping your office space clean becomes more difficult as winter grime from snow and rain is trekked into the office. The ice and snow turn into slush that makes everyone scowl while the rain creates gloomy clouds and views. In addition to the extra dirt in the office, you may also find your employees becoming ill more often in the winter as the temperature drops and germs spread.

To keep your office clean during the winter and your employees healthy, follow these tips on preparing your office for the colder months.

Disinfect Shared Spaces to Protect Your Health

With colder temperatures comes a greater risk of illness. According to Harvard Medical School, there is evidence that the chilly temperatures of winter suppress the immune system and increase the risk of infection and disease. As the flu and other illnesses spread, keeping your office extra clean from December through March is a good way to keep your employees healthy and working to their full potential.

Cleaning shared items such as phones, keyboards, and tables and also removing dust on a regular basis from individual spaces is a good start to keeping germs from spreading. Commercial cleaning companies are often scheduled for extra cleanings during the winter months to disinfect and help keep employees healthy. If you haven’t called your commercial cleaning company yet, it might be the right time to do so.

Deep Clean Your Carpets to Banish Germs

Carpets and floors are germ sponges and get the brute of the elements each year. As employees step into the office with snow-caked shoes and ice-encrusted boots, you’ll notice your carpet or floors starting to look a little dingy.

On top of the dirty appearance, your office carpets and floors will be covered in those thriving winter germs. Cindy Gellner, M.D., from the University of Utah, says that bacteria, including E. coli, can be transferred from outside into your home or office from shoes. An important part of keeping your office clean and healthy during the winter is making sure your floors are cleaned on a regular basis.

Deep cleaning the carpets at least once a year, and preferably more, can help keep your carpets looking new. Vacuuming and steaming or sweeping and mopping your floors daily will help cut down on the germs as well.

Clean Your HVAC System to Breathe Clean Air

Dust, dander, and bacteria gets trapped within HVAC systems and air ducts during the winter. As we spend more time indoors during the winter, we breathe in more of the dust, mold, and bacteria that gets trapped in the system and pushed continually throughout the office. Allergies and illnesses can become a problem with extra dust and bacteria floating around in the office.

Calling a professional HVAC system cleaner can help keep your office healthy this winter by cutting down on bacteria and allergy triggers.

Wipe Down Your Windows for a Cheerful Office

Keeping your employees’ physical health in good shape is extremely important, but you also want to make sure they are happy as well. During the winter, we see less sunshine, which can sometimes psychologically affect our moods. When the sun does shine in the colder months, make sure it isn’t blocked by grimy windows.

Calling an office cleaning company to come dust your window blinds and clean your windows can help ensure the light comes in bright and cheerful.

When the winter snow and ice hit and brings the winter illness and dirt, ensuring you are taking extra cleaning steps in your office is important. Keep your office clean and healthy by calling your local commercial office cleaners to schedule regular office cleanings. Your employees and your health will thank you for the clean office space.

Importance of cleaning and disinfecting office technology

Posted on November 28, 2017November 27, 2017 DonaldLeave a commentPosted in Business, Cleaning, Cleaning Tips

Why is it Important to Clean and Disinfect Technology in the Office?

Technology has worked its way into daily office life in the form of equipment such as computers, printers, and phones. Unfortunately, electronic devices become extremely dirty from everyday use. Most people don’t typically clean their electronics on a regular basis, but office technology can collect dirt and grime from people touching it over time. While dirt build-up may not always be seen with the naked eye, it can cause major issues.

With employees often sharing equipment, it’s important to regularly clean and disinfect electronic devices. By cleaning and disinfecting technology, you will reduce the risk of illness, lengthen the lifespan of equipment, and increase productivity in the office.

Reduce the Risk of Illness

Flu season is upon us. Cleaning and disinfecting your most frequently touched objects and surfaces, including electronics, can help prevent the spread of sickness in the office. Many employees share the same computers, phones, and printers each day. The constant use of office equipment by multiple people increases the chance of spreading illness, creating clutter, and causing the build-up of oils and dust.

Cleaning and disinfecting office technology helps to keep you and your employees healthy.

Lengthen the Life of Office Technology

Cleaning and disinfecting office electronics can help you save money. The longer your technology operates efficiently, the less money you will have to invest in repairs and replacements.

When dirt builds up on your devices, over time the gunk and grime can cause your machines to malfunction. As technology is used, the device collects residue, such as dirt or oils from employees’ hands or face.

Accidents happen. Employees will spill drinks or drop crumbs on keyboards. Once grime builds up on keyboards, the keys can jam and cause issues with key stroke function. Dust build-up has the same effect on computer mice. Build-up in a computer mouse effects the ability to click or move smoothly across surfaces.

Oils from skin causes technology to look grimy. When computer screens or keyboards are touched, oils will remain causing the devices to be unsightly. Oils can also destroy the usability of electronic devices, dirty fingers can cause wear on keyboards and cause letters to fade off.

Increase in Productivity

Allergies make working productively difficult. If your employees suffer from allergies then dust, dirt, and debris in the office can cause allergies to flare up. Regularly cleaning and disinfecting office equipment keeps your office space a little friendlier for your employees that have allergies.

Having a cluttered environment can also affect office electronics. By preventing clutter, you are preventing accidental spills or other mishaps. Having items such as drinks or food near technology, can be harmful if an accidental spill happens. Cleaning and disinfecting your office is a great way to provide a clean environment for employees and a safe environment for your office equipment.

Setting a regular schedule to clean and disinfect technology is important, and it takes time to kill bacteria that grow on devices. If your employees are spending too much time cleaning their office space, they are spending less time being productive.

At D’s Cleaning Services, we have the industrial grade equipment and disinfectants needed to clean and disinfect technology and your office space. Let us take care of your cleaning so you and your employees don’t have to.

If you are ready to have a clean and sanitary workspace for you and your employees, give D’s Cleaning Service a call at 225-572-9497.
