United Cleaning Solutions provide a wide range of commercial cleaning services to companies, including specialised Covid-19 deep cleaning and fogging services.

It is crucial that workplaces are safe for employees – especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. As part of our Covid-19 deep cleaning services, we use a full fogging x-mist process, using powerful germicide and sanitiser to provide up to 7 days sterilisation.

What is fogging?

The word “fogging” refers to the use of disinfectant spray from a fogging machine to generate what seems to be fog. It is an efficient method for disinfecting high levels of horizontal surfaces, difficult-to-reach areas that are frequently overlooked or forgotten, as well as small and confined spaces. It may also be used to disinfect vertical surfaces.

What are the benefits of fogging?

Fogging provides the user with a variety of benefits:

• When carried out appropriately, fogging is considered safe and effective.
• Effective at minimising pollutants in the air.
• Effective at disinfecting difficult-to-reach places.
• Highly effective at disinfecting horizontal surfaces.

Where can fogging be used?

Fogging can be used as an extra disinfection method in a variety of industries. It is often employed in food and beverage processing in situations such as abattoirs, where fresh meat contains a lot of microorganisms. Disinfecting fogging is also useful in open settings such as schools, universities, and unoccupied hospital wards – provided that any electrical equipment is appropriately covered or removed.

Until recently, fogging was not widely regarded as a need for the public sector. However, this is changing due to the Coronavirus pandemic as people are more willing to take further precautions to avoid another outbreak. Therefore, fogging public sector locations and public transportation might provide everyone with peace of mind while also preventing the virus from contaminating surfaces.

Professional window cleaning is incredibly important as the outside of your business is where customers’ first impressions will be made. Customers and clients will develop an opinion of the company based on the appearance of the building before they even walk inside. There is a risk that they will take their business elsewhere if your windows appear grimy.

Benefits of Professional Window Cleaning

Professional window cleaning services can provide several benefits to your business including:

Time saving – You could be jeopardising the company’s time if employees are made responsible for tasks that are not essential to their specific role, like window cleaning. Furthermore, people who are not trained could cause damage to your company’s windows if they don’t know how to clean them properly. Therefore, in order to be efficient and ensure your windows are cleaned to the highest standard, you should hire professionals.

Specialised cleaning methods – It is important to note that different windows require specific methods or specialised cleaning solutions. For example, tinted windows and stained glass require extra care. Using standard cleaning products on these types of windows could destroy them, leaving you with an unappealing appearance and possibly a large repair bill. To save your company any stress about your windows being washed incorrectly or damaged, you should hire experts to ensure that each window is washed properly.

More natural light – Clean windows allow more natural light to penetrate into the building which will help to boost morale in the working environment and enable employees to gain more Vitamin D exposure. Furthermore, a cleaner and brighter environment will increase focus, employee performance and create good first impressions to clients.

Window longevity – When not cleaned properly, windows can develop a build up of dirt and grime which will not only cause pigmentation spots, streaks, smears and a loss of transparency but can also make the glass much more fragile and prone to small cracks, scratches, and even shattering. Whereas, when properly maintained by experts using the best professional window cleaning equipment, your windows are much more likely to last the test of time.

Heating Efficiency – Dirty windows can greatly impact the overall heating efficiency of your building. Pollutants on the surface and in the pores of the glass can reflect more UV radiation, blocking the sun from warming the room in winter; this is particularly troublesome when combining with low-efficiency windows.         

It keeps you safe – Without the proper training or equipment, window cleaning can be hazardous (such as climbing ladders or handling toxic cleaning supplies). Therefore, by hiring a professional window cleaner, there is no risk of breaching health and safety regulations as they will be properly trained and have all of the relevant insurance.

Now you are aware of how important it is to have regularly maintained and properly cleaned windows, why not hire a professional, commercial cleaning service and stay on top of your window maintenance? Here at United Cleaning Solutions, we have specially trained cleaners to keep your windows in the best condition.
