Office Renovations: How To Clean Up Afterwards
Wash The Walls
If your walls were recently repainted, then there’s a good chance that drywall dust is sticking to them. The fresh paint catches dust easily, and without taking care of it, your paint color may look duller.
Dry dusting works best for new paint, and a damp paper towel will take care of old paint. If the walls are newly painted, run a vacuum or dry duster over the walls and molding. If the walls were not painted, wipe them down with a damp rag or paper towel. This will catch the excess dust.
Take Care Of Floors
Now is the time to go over your floors with care. If you have new carpet, vacuum it. If you have tile or linoleum, vacuum and mop to make the floors shine.
If your floors aren’t new, now would be a good time to schedule floor stripping and waxing services. This will ensure that your floors are both clean and durable. Floor stripping and waxing services help get rid of scuff marks and other damages to the floors in your office. If you routinely schedule floor waxing and stripping services, then you’ll see your floors lasting for years longer than usual.
Clean Light Fixtures
Does your office look a little dim? Dust from office renovations can settle on light fixtures as well as fans, dimming them and making the office appear much darker.
Even if you just had new fixtures installed, take them down and wash them. This will get rid of the dirt and make them shine like new once more.
Hire A Professional Cleaning Service In Maryland
There’s nothing wrong with seeking professional help. A professional office cleaning service in Maryland can put your mind at ease as they take care of all the dust, dirt and grime that has settled throughout the building.
A professional cleaning service in Maryland will bring in a team of cleaners who will go over your office from top to bottom.

Office Cleaning 101: What You Can Do And What A Professional Should Do
WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DOING?
Here is what you should be doing to keep your office clean:
- Clean your bathrooms daily: Bathrooms are breeding grounds for germs and bacteria. They need to be cleaned at least twice a day, and someone should be checking them often to see if toilet paper or paper towel refills are needed.
- Vacuuming: With so many people coming in and out of your office, you need to vacuum at least every other day. Mopping can be done by the professional office cleaners, but vacuuming should be done more frequently.
- Clutter cleanup: Clutter tends to build up fast in offices, especially with so many papers going from desk to desk. All employees can pitch in and help keep the office clutter free by putting away communal silverware or dishes in the breakroom and keeping their desks clear.
- Remember, professional office cleaners will do all of these tasks as well, but even if you schedule weekly cleanings, these tasks need to be done every day.
Here is what you can leave to the professionals:
- Floor stripping and waxing: Tile floors need to be stripped and waxed regularly. When done regularly, floor stripping and waxing will help keep your floors looking like new, and it will help them last longer. If you’re diligent, regular floor stripping and waxing could add years to your floor’s life.
- pressure washing windows and building: If your office is two stories, then you might have trouble cleaning the windows on the second floor. Don’t worry about it. Your professional office cleaners will take care of all the pressure washing.
- Breakroom/bathroom scrub downs: Though you may clean your breakroom and bathroom sinks regularly, there are probably places that you’re missing, such as your office refrigerator. A professional cleaning service will come in and scrub microwaves, countertops and floors - hitting all the places you may miss.
- carpet cleaning: Your employees’ shoes track in dirt and debris every day. The dirt gets into your carpets, and vacuuming isn’t always enough. A professional office cleaner will deep clean your carpets and make them look like new again.

How To Maintain A Marble Floor
In general, a marble floor requires little maintenance. While neglect will spoil its appearance, it will not normally impair its serviceability. When properly maintained, it is doubtful whether marble floors can be excelled by any other type for brilliance and timeless beauty.
Routine maintenance should be carried out with a solution of neutral detergent in water. Cleaning equipment should include mopping equipment or a floor polishing/scrubbing machine. If a machine is used, the pads should be of the synthetic type and not metal fiber, as splinters may detach and cause rust marks to appear on the surface of the marble floor.
Although permanent seals will protect a marble floor very adequately, there are several problems associated with permanent sealing. Many times the permanent seal will show a traffic pattern which is not easy to repair. Discoloration may occur, and the removal of the seal to correct the appearance is a costly, time-consuming job. The stripper will have to be a point and varnish remover or other strong chemical. The chemicals plus required agitation can result in serious damage to the once beautiful floor
A better approach to maintaining marble floors is to use a program similar to that followed for regular tile floors.
For stripping, a conventional stripper is the product of choice. Any pads used for stripping should be gentle scrubbing pads. The black pad normally used for stripping could possibly scratch the marble surface.
Although not required, a sealer may be applied to protect the grout. The surface may then be finished with an acrylic polymer metal-linked polish. If your janitorial equipment includes a team of easily-applied products, you will save time, and when the floor finish is buffed/burnished, the maximum beauty of the marble floor will be there to enjoy.
For daily maintenance, a neutral type cleaner should be used on the finish or the marble itself.
A polished marble floor can be beautiful and enduring, but only with proper care and maintenance procedures.

Simple ways to keep your animal hospital waiting room spotless
An animal hospital keeps busy every day of the week. With so many pets coming in and out each day, the waiting room is usually one of the hardest places to keep clean, but it is also one of the most important places to clean regularly.
A good animal hospital cleaning starts with a thorough cleaning of waiting room, but in between cleanings, there are easy ways to keep the room clean, even with all the pets coming in and out.
Follow these simple strategies for keeping the waiting room clean in between animal hospital cleanings and you’ll see happier patients and fewer hairballs in the corners.
VACUUM EVERY DAY
Cats and dogs are probably your best customers, and they need a lot of love and attention. While some dogs don’t shed, many of them do, and almost all cat breeds shed as well. Cats and dogs shed more in between fall and winter and winter and spring as they grow thicker coats to cope with the cold and then let them thin out.
Vacuum the waiting room every day - as you should for any office cleaning in Maryland. Doing this will clear out the fur and make your waiting room look neat and tidy. Fur builds up quickly so be sure to make time for vacuuming at the end of every day.
A professional floor cleaning in Maryland can help you strip and wax your floors, but in the meantime, vacuum often to keep your floors clear.
HAVE A MOP HANDY AND BE READY
It’s no secret that cats and dogs sometimes have unexpected accidents. Some dogs get very nervous at the vet, and they can’t wait until they get outside. A regular animal hospital cleaning will make sure that no diseases linger, but your staff needs to be ready to handle any animal urine in a flash.
The best way to do so is to be ready before anything happens. You need to have a mop and bucket ready to go at the start of every day. Animal urine and feces can carry diseases that could affect other patients in the room, so you must make sure your staff is ready to clean up in minutes after the mess is made.
Whether you have carpet or tile in your waiting room, make sure you have floor cleanings in Maryland scheduled. This will ensure that you’re properly disinfecting your floors.
USE ANIMAL-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
Just like people, animals who ingest certain cleaning products can get sick. When using products on your floors and surfaces, you need to make sure that the products won’t hurt the animals you’re trying to help.
The best types of disinfectants for an office cleaning in Maryland are green products that help the environment without harming best. Some green solutions can be made right in your office. Try a baking powder to eliminate odors in the waiting room. At the end of the day, sprinkle a little baking powder on the carpet as well as any cloth-covered chairs or couches. Let it sit on your surfaces for a half hour and then go back over the spots with a vacuum.
This is an easy way to get rid of easy odors, but you’ll still need a professional floor cleaning in Maryland to really get rid of the stains and smells.
When it comes to an office cleaning in Maryland, make sure you schedule regular animal hospital cleanings to ensure that your hospital stays safe and clean for all your visitors.

Easy Office Cleaning Tips
If you happen to spend many hours in the office, then you are likely aware of the gathering dust all over the place as time goes by. After all, the last thing we need is dust all over our belongings, choking us every time we move things.
The following tips will give you some basic pointers to how you can approach the subject:
- Paper is still one of the greatest offenders when it comes to chaos in the office. Although your job may be different from the classic idea of office work, chances are you still work with a good bit of paper. You should make sure you remove everything you don't need at the office desk and file it away for later use. This will greatly help in reducing the amount of clutter, making cleaning a much easier chore than it would be otherwise.
- Another thing worth mentioning is that you should never eat over your keyboard, as this would make things really hard to clean. On the other hand antistatic wipes will greatly help when cleaning your electronics and your desk. You would also do well to make sure you keep things simple around your desk, avoiding too many decorations so cleaning will be easier when it needs to be done. If your keyboard has bread crumbs or bits of hair inside, then you may need to remove the keys and clean under them.
- A lot of people like to have plenty of personal belongings around their work space, which is all well and good until they start getting in the way. You would do well to take heed when it goes too far however, as it will make cleaning more difficult than it has to be. You should take time each week or even every day to clean out the clutter, keeping things in order. Make sure you have few decorations, so you would have an easier time keeping the place looking good and clean.
- A key to making sure your office cleaning is successful and the space is easy to clean, is to keep everything in its rightful place. This means you need to not only work on de-cluttering your work space, but also making sure its second nature for you to put things in order at the end of each day when you’re done.
- All your pens, business cards, calendars, coffee cups as well as anything else that you can consider decorations or otherwise should be kept to a minimum. They may bring some level of comfort to your work space, but in the end they will only collect dust and you'll then need to clean all of them.
- When it comes down to it, you would do well to an antibacterial spray around, especially when it comes to your keyboard and mouse. These will help sanitize them on a regular basis as you work, so you won’t suffer the effects of bacteria present on them.
We at Interworld Cleaning Inc provide superior cleaning and janitorial services to homes, businesses and industries in Maryland, Baltimore and Washington DC.
