A Fresh Start Before the Festivities: 5 Ways to Get Your Workplace Winter-Ready This November
November is the perfect time to prepare your workplace for the busy festive season ahead. Offices and commercial spaces see increased footfall, more staff gatherings, and often harsher weather conditions, all of which can take a toll on cleanliness and hygiene.
Here are five practical ways to get your premises winter-ready this November.
1. Refresh high-traffic areas
Reception areas, corridors, and communal spaces bear the brunt of wet weather. Dirt, salt, and moisture can quickly damage flooring and create slip hazards. A professional deep clean and proper matting system can protect your floors and keep entrances looking presentable throughout winter.
2. Pay attention to windows and glass
Shorter days mean less natural light, so every bit counts. Clean windows and glass partitions maximise brightness, improving both appearance and employee wellbeing. Scheduling a window clean before winter sets in ensures a clearer, more welcoming environment.
3. Protect your carpets and upholstery
Mud, grit, and moisture can shorten the life of carpets and soft furnishings. A professional extraction clean helps remove built-up dirt and bacteria, keeping your workplace fresh and allergen-free. Preventive maintenance now saves money on replacement later.
4. Review washroom hygiene
Cold and flu season is approaching, and good hygiene starts with spotless, well-stocked washrooms. Ensure your cleaning contractor uses hospital-grade disinfectants and touchpoint sanitation — especially on taps, handles, and dispensers.
5. Plan for the festive rush
December often brings events, visitors, and altered work schedules. Reviewing your cleaning rota now means your facilities will stay clean and safe throughout the season. A flexible cleaning provider can help you scale up or down as needed.
