Janitorial Services Help Keep Allergies under Control

Allergies are devastating. They can ruin an entire day of productivity at work if left untreated. But if you have professional janitorial services from Jani-King, then allergens in the office can be held at bay. Through the use of proper techniques and innovative equipment, professional janitorial services can reduce the amount of allergens that flood into the office during spring and summer.

High efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, vacuums to clean the carpets are particularly (pun intended) effective at eliminating allergens in the carpet. Janitorial services can also help clean out the air ducts to make sure that the air conditioner isn’t spewing out, allergy-causing pollen and dust particles.  Some extra tips to keep allergies away:

• Dust every day! Your janitorial services know that dust accumulation is a huge contributor to the amount of allergens circulating in the office. Help yourself out by keeping small dust cloths by your desk to ward away those evil allergens. Microfiber cloths are generally considered the best type of duster to use because they remove dust without letting it stir, they hold a large amount of dust, and microfiber cloths won’t scratch any surfaces.

A few additional office cleaning tips that you could leave on small business cards at desks will also help to reduce the amount of allergy causing agents in the office.

• Pillows that you may use to sit on should be washed regularly.
• Any blankets or stuffed animals at desks should try to be avoided as allergens can collect on these plush surfaces.
• Keep a small canister of compressed air at your desk to clean the dust out from your keyboard and the hard to reach areas of your desk.
