“The problem is your janitorial services provider!”
When seeking out a professional janitorial services company, have you duly considered adding an indoor air quality maintenance program to your list of office cleaning must haves? Why should you? Because indoor air quality (IAQ) is such a necessary and important component of maintaining a healthy and safe work environment. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the primary sources of indoor air quality problems revealed in its official investigations included:
- Inadequate ventilation
Annual cleaning of your HVAC system in addition to protective vent filters that trap contaminant offenders is a good start.
- Indoor contaminants
A quarterly carpet deep cleaning and maintenance program removes the excessive dust, pollen and other pollutants that get trapped deep inside the padding and fibers of your office’s carpeting and upholstery.
- Microbial contamination
Reducing the spread of microbial contamination such as molds, bacteria and viruses starts with professional-grade cleaning equipment, products specifically formulated for commercial use and properly implemented, OSHA compliant janitorial procedures.
Keep your office clean, safe and healthy and reduce employee absenteeism.
Medical symptoms of poor indoor air quality can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, tiredness, lack of concentration, and eye, nose, and throat irritation. The good news is, poor indoor air quality is completely preventable. Begin by implementing an indoor air quality maintenance program as an essential part of your regular office cleaning regime.
