If your summer cleaning strategy consists of “whatever we did in January,” we have news for you.

Summer in the Sioux Falls area has a way of exposing weaknesses. Not just in your air conditioner, your golf swing, or your commitment to that New Year’s resolution. It also exposes every flaw in your cleaning program. Here are a few things to think about:

The Great Dust Migration

Between construction projects, road work, landscaping, dry conditions, and “gentle” South Dakota breezes, you end up with what scientists call, “a whole lot of dust.” Every time someone opens your door, a little piece of Sioux Falls comes inside.

Your HVAC System Has Entered the Chat

Your HVAC system works hard during summer. Really hard. If your vents, returns, and surrounding areas haven’t been cleaned lately, your space can be considered a giant indoor snow globe. Except instead of snow, it’s dust.

Summer Smells… Different

Take a look in the office fridge. You’ll likely find abandoned leftovers that no one dares to claim. Throw in a little summer heat and humidity, and suddenly your office has a very unique fragrance profile that has a lingering finish of poor decision making. That’s why summer cleaning isn’t optional, folks.

Now’s the Time for Deep Cleaning

While summer creates more cleaning challenges, it’s also the perfect time to tackle some serious cleaning. Employees are on vacation. Schedules tend to be more flexible. Offices often have lighter occupancy. It’s the perfect time for:

• Carpet extraction
• Floor refinishing
• Window cleaning
• High dusting
• Vent and air return cleaning

Here’s the deal. Dust doesn’t take vacations. Pollen doesn’t care about your budget. And customers definitely notice when a facility looks neglected. Take a walk through your space. If things are looking a bit tired, imagine what they’ll look like by December. That said, Kleenrite operators are standing by ready to spiffy things up.
