Seasonal deep cleaning for condo properties changes along with the weather, requiring special attention to keep residents happy and safe. In this blog, we will share our professional deep cleaning services in Mississauga seasonable tips to keep your condo properties clean and functional all year round.
What is deep cleaning?
Deep cleaning is a more thorough cleaning that addresses every inch of a space, including removing dirt, dust, stains, and grime from all surfaces. It involves tackling mould spores, bacteria, and allergens that can accumulate over time and are not addressed by regular cleaning methods. It also helps maintain the value of the units.
Spring and Summer
In the spring and summer, residents are focused on the warm weather and making the most of their balconies or outdoor common elements. In this case, some of the most important things to consider for deep cleaning include:
Resident Lockers
If your building has a separate area for resident lockers/storage units, it’s important to ensure the area is clear for people to access their summer items such as bikes, scooters, patio/balcony furniture, camping gear, etc.
As residents pull out their summer items, they can track dust and debris throughout the building, including the elevators and halls. By keeping the paths in these areas clean, you can help limit dirt that might require a deep cleaning.
Bonus tip: Ensure all lightbulbs and lighting systems, such as motion sensors, are functioning and that access scanners into these areas of the building are working properly to reduce demand on your management team.
Bike Docks/Parking
Secure areas for bike parking will become more popular in the spring and summer. On top of the above items mentioned for resident lockers, clear out any temporary storage, so residents have access to the parking area.
Outdoor Common Areas
Residents will want to make the most of the first warm days of the year, so special attention is required to all outdoor common areas, such as clearing debris, tending to gardens, putting out furniture, cleaning community grills, etc. Deep cleaning furniture and grills will provide a better experience for residents enjoying their amenities.
HVAC Maintenance
Arrange for seasonal HVAC maintenance to ensure your AC system is up to demand before the first heat wave hits. Clean filters are a must to reduce the need for deep cleaning common areas where dust builds up, as well as improving air quality in condo units.
Irrigation Systems
If you have an irrigation system, arrange for spring/summer maintenance to ensure it is functioning. Leaks are costly as they waste water and can also infiltrate concrete surfaces, causing serious damage. A deep cleaning to flush out the system will keep your landscaping looking its best.
Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning Services
Spring and summer are the busiest moving seasons. Be sure you have your move-in/move-out cleaning service on call so they are ready to meet the increased demand to clean units during the high turnover season.
Although your job might not include move-in/move-out cleaning and hiring deep cleaning services in Mississauga for the units, having a service on call to assist residents is a value-added service that helps maintain the condo’s value.
Pool and Gym
Residents are focused on getting into shape, as well as keeping cool as temperatures rise. As a result, demand for amenities such as the pool and gym increases.
Deep cleaning of locker rooms, floors, showers, pool decks, pool furniture, and equipment ensures germs from sweat and infections such as foot fungus are kept to a minimum for improved tenant safety and health.
Fall and Winter
Although there are some deep cleaning tasks shared with spring and summer, in the fall and winter, the priorities change with a focus on the following:
Floors
Keep in mind that salt and sand used by snow-clearing services increase cleaning demand on floors as people track this debris into the building on their boots and shoes. Deep cleaning floors in the winter months will protect them against heightened wear and tear.
Bonus tip: With new condos popping up throughout the GTA and Mississauga every day, the competition for dependable snow-clearing services is fierce. Make sure you renew your service contracts in late summer or early fall to keep the property safe and in compliance with your condo maintenance bylaws.
Arrange for Commercial Mat Services
Clean mats play an important role in keeping common areas such as the lobby, elevators, and entry points safe. They help collect debris while keeping floors dry to reduce the risk of slips and falls.
They also make deep cleaning the building easier by containing salt and sand that can damage flooring and decrease the amount of dust carried into the HVAC system and throughout the building.
Add Deep Cleaning Services to Move-In/Move-Out Tasks
Although the moving season slows considerably in the fall and winter months, it is also the season when germs are far more prevalent. Be sure you retain your move-in/move-out cleaning services and that they can provide unit deep cleaning services in Mississauga during the height of cold and flu season.
HVAC Maintenance
You’ll also want to address HVAC maintenance in the fall and winter as demand switches to heat. Again, clean filters reduce the need for deep cleaning common areas related to dust buildup and help maintain improved air quality in condo units.
