September Cleaning Tips: Adapting to Changing Weather with Professional Services. September’s blend of warm and cool days can make maintaining a clean business environment challenging. Professional cleaning services offer tailored solutions to address the specific needs of your business during this transitional period. 1. Adapting to Humidity and Dryness: September can be unpredictable with fluctuating humidity levels. On cooler, damp days, humidity can promote mold growth, while dry days may lead to dust buildup. Professional cleaners are adept at managing these conditions with appropriate cleaning techniques and products to keep your business environment spotless and healthy. 2. Managing Increased Foot Traffic: With students returning to school and people transitioning back into their regular routines, foot traffic in businesses often increases. Professional cleaners can help manage the extra dirt and debris, ensuring that high-traffic areas remain clean and presentable. 3. Seasonal Transition Maintenance: As we move from summer to fall, it’s important to address transitional cleaning needs such as removing summer dust and preparing for the fall season. Professionals can provide a comprehensive cleaning that addresses both current issues and prepares your space for the upcoming changes. Navigating September’s weather shifts can be tricky, but with professional cleaning services, you can ensure your business remains clean, safe, and welcoming no matter what the weather brings. Call Stewandy Cleaners Inc. today! #brampton #vaughan #cleaning #residentialcleaning #commercialcleaning #gta #toronto #mississauga #georgetown #caledon #professionalcleaningservices #septembercleaning #businesshygeine #ecofriendlycleaning #cleaningexperts #falldeepclean

COLD WEATHER PLAN. As we scrape our cars this morning due to the dramatic change of weather. Please take time to consider is your Plant/Workplace prepared for cold weather? 💡It is very worthwhile to create a cold weather plan to identify areas of risk and create countermeasures. 💡Organise who is doing what and when, so it doesn't get forgotten or that everyone thinks someone else is doing it. 💡Make sure you have a plentiful stock of grit and that there is a plan to grit walkways, stairways and traffic routes around site. Consider how this can be achieved to suit your operating hours. 💡 It's dark in the mornings now, so combining this with slippery conditions presents a major hazard. Make sure walkways are well lit for night workers and workers who start the day early! 💡Are there areas that are particularly prone to freezing? Can these areas/routes be avoided? 💡What are the temperatures your workforce operate in? If it's a large area that's impossible to heat, can you provide smaller break out areas? Make sure warm drinks are readily available! 💡Undertake a survey of radiators and heaters to establish that they are in working order. Repair if necessary, using qualified professionals. 💡Be aware if your heating methods are inadequate, it will drive behaviour toward people bringing their own heating methods to work. This is risky in terms of controlling electrical integrity and fire risks! 💡Warm clothing! Is what you provide adequate? Also, can people be easily seen if they are in dark or low-lit areas? Hi vis clothing may be appropriate. 💡Some people spend a long time driving as part of their job or carrying out their duties. Take time to update your people on winter driving preparedness. Fluid checks, tyres, fuel, speed, safe distances, lights, warm clothes, drinks and a blanket etc. 💡Plants that use water for industrial processes- what is the risk of frozen pipes? Are they lagged? Trace heating? If this isn't cost effective, what is the plan if frozen? These are the types of occasions where Maintenance people can become at risk when trying to do non-standard or controlled activities trying to thaw such things! A little forward planning reduces risk hugely and helps keep your people safe. If you haven't got a cold weather plan, it's never too late. Take control! #wintersafety
