Internal Glass Is Beautiful in Commercial Properties, but is it Clean?

A study has shown that COVID-19 can last as long as 28 days on glass

When designing commercial properties, such as office blocks and retail outlets, many architects and business owners select glass as a beautiful, durable internal decoration.

Whether it’s glass panels for meeting rooms or small internal windows on doors to make them look more inviting, internal glass is a great way to make your commercial property stand out.

However, it does pose many challenges. For example, a recent study has shown that COVID-19 can last as long as 28 days on some surfaces, including glass.

For essential businesses that need to remain open during the lockdown, cleanliness is vital to the safety of customers and staff, as well as the reputation of your company.

Even non-essential businesses need to keep their internal glass clean, as they could potentially be reopening soon and they need to make sure that they hit the ground running if they want to make up for lost time.

That means that companies across the corporate spectrum need to focus on cleaning their internal glass, as well as all other surfaces and public areas in their commercial base, more regularly. This can pose a challenge, as it takes a lot of time, effort and specialist cleaning knowledge to sanitise glass and other surfaces properly.

So, what can you do to overcome this issue in your commercial properties? Here are some tips from the commercial cleaning experts here at It’s Clean.

How will Artificial Intelligence (AI) and innovation transform the commercial cleaning industry?

by david • 10 Sept, 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we live and work in all sorts of ways and the commercial cleaning sector is no exception. However, whereas technology can improve safety, efficiency and security, professional contract cleaning is still a people business. So, how far is AI likely to impact commercial cleaning, what improvements might we see and where will human involvement remain an essential part of the job? Robots, smart systems and automation We have already seen a huge amount of innovation with the introduction of smart cleaning technology and devices. Robotic floor cleaning, air quality sensors and smart systems that create alerts when dispensers need refilling are all improvements that have enhanced quality and improved facilities management. At It’s Clean Ltd we have knowledge and experience of all the latest innovations and can incorporate the use of smart systems for customers whose premises would benefit from them. Data and management The data that can be collated through the use of smart systems, like those described above, is another aspect of the progressive innovation we are seeing in the cleaning sector. The ability to analyse how often things need cleaning and refilling leads to greater knowledge for budgeting and will in turn result in wider innovation and opportunities for artificial intelligence. Virtual training In many industries, virtual reality is used to help train engineers and operatives in a simulated setting. Whilst this may become more widely used in commercial cleaning settings, we are proud to already be using technology to enhance the knowledge and expertise of our staff. Our online training programme can be accessed anywhere by staff and keeps them updated on all the latest techniques, products and processes. You can read more about our training programme here . The human touch AI technology will evolve to support cleaner and healthier buildings in situations where it makes sense to spend time and money innovating - where there is a significant positive impact on public health, safety and efficiency, for example. This is why much of the change is coming in the form of smart sensors, data collection and the automation of repetitive and time-consuming tasks. Anyone who has ever engaged a commercial cleaning company will know that the real value comes from having people on site who know the building, understand the needs of those using it and have the ability to adapt quickly to manage the unexpected. At It’s Clean Ltd we take time to survey every building before we embark on a contract. We get to know the business so that we understand the expectations and needs of the customer. Our cleaning teams are fully aware of what is expected of them but they are also adaptable, which is extremely important. Commercial cleaning involves a lot of routine work but it also presents challenge and change. We pride ourselves in adapting, exceeding expectations and solving the many challenges that we face as a team during our day to day work. We also focus on developing strong relationships with our customers, which allows us to review, adapt and evolve so that we are always delivering the very best service possible. No matter how much technology and artificial intelligence change the machinery and processes involved in our industry, commercial cleaning is, and always will be, a people business.
