Due to coronavirus outbreaks a few years ago, professional commercial cleaning services are now more relevant than ever. Businesses are hyper-focused on ramping up the cleanliness of their workplaces and workspaces to reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria. However, business and office managers must know the dangers of using the wrong cleaning products when hiring a professional cleaning service.

What happens when cleaners use the wrong products? Your work environment will not be as safe as it should be, and it could be dirtier in some instances, possibly damaging property. Worse still, if commercial cleaners use dangerous cleaning materials, people’s health and safety may be at risk.

 INEFFECTIVE CLEANING SOLUTIONS AND DISINFECTING

Using any cleaning solution on a surface is ineffective at disinfecting it. You need to make sure you use the proper cleaning solutions on the correct surfaces to make sure that you can effectively:

  • Eliminate bacteria
  • Kill harmful pathogens
  • Remove dust, debris, and allergens
  • Protect and prevent damage to your office area

If you do not use the proper cleaning materials on the right surfaces, you risk leaving harmful bacteria, dirt, debris, and pathogens behind. These can linger on surfaces that aren’t cleaned properly, posing a health risk to your team members and employees.

DAMAGE TO YOUR OFFICE FURNITURE AND SURFACES

The right commercial cleaners use specific products to remove things you don’t want, like dirt stains, oily handprints, and bathroom bacteria. However, using the wrong detergent to clean upholstery may cause the dye to bleed. Choose the incorrect hardwood product, and you’ll ruin the topcoat finish. Washing marble floors with an acid-cleaning agent will cause lasting damage.

HEALTH RISKS TO COMMERCIAL CLEANERS & STAFF

The most significant risk — by far — is to human health and safety when cleaners use the wrong cleaning products. Most cleaning products include poisonous, flammable, or caustic ingredients, rendering them dangerous if misused. Things get especially risky when commercial cleaners start mixing or combining different products. Inhalation of certain chemicals can cause vomiting, nausea, chest pain, difficulty breathing, sickness, and even pneumonia.

Given these dangers, commercial cleaning companies must use the right products correctly.
