1. Floors in focus: Floors take a beating during adverse weather conditions. Scrub entry floors to remove soils and then recoat to give the floor added protection. Cleaning along with burnishing cycles may need to be increased.
2. Off the carpet: Many facilities delay cleaning carpets before and during the winter months. This can be a mistake as the carpets can become saturated with contaminants and impact indoor environmental quality. Thoroughly cleaning carpets before winter can help keep them clean throughout the cold winter months.
3. Break the restroom routine: Cleaning professionals often develop cleaning habits — especially in restrooms — cleaning counters and fixtures in the same way, etc. Seasonal transitions call for taking a fresh look at restroom cleaning procedures and adopting some new technologies, products and methods where appropriate.
4. Install mats: Install 15 feet of matting inside each entrance to capture ice melt, salt and sand before it is tracked throughout the facility.
5. Repair any floor defects: Soils and ice melt can become trapped in chips, cracks, crevices, etc.
6. Know product specifications: Some floor care chemicals, as an example, are best applied at certain temperature ranges.
7. HEPA savings time: An easy way to remember when to clean or change HEPA filters is by changing them when Daylight Savings Time begins and ends; this year it ends on November 3.
8. Green proof: A new season can also be the start of a new cleaning strategy. Many facilities transfer from conventional to green cleaning programs when seasons change and the winter months can be a perfect time to transition to proven green cleaning chemicals.

Tips for locating quality cleaning service.
“With so many different cleaning companies to choose from, locating a cleaning service that meets your needs at rates you can afford can be challenging. You can take steps to ensure a satisfactory fit between you and any service you ultimately decide upon.”
Requirements
It’s a good idea to create a list of all cleaning tasks you wish to see accomplished within your home or business. For example, do you require toilets to be scrubbed or laundry to be done? Are there any carpets or rugs you wish shampooed? Always begin with the tasks you consider essential. Then, follow with those you would simply enjoy having done. This helps narrow selection down because not every cleaning company supplies the same services.
