COMMERCIAL PREMISES HINTS & TIPS

COMMERCIAL PREMISES HINTS & TIPS

Clear desk & office space regularly so your cleaner can thoroughly clean behind / under everything.
Consider moving to one side & then shift to the other side for the following clean.

Remove rubbish regularly & vacuum regularly where people eat.

Sanitise phones, door handles, registers & toilet areas regularly.

Toilets must be cleaned thoroughly, these areas are the main culprits of spreading bacteria & viruses amongst your staff & clients.

Vacuum carpets regularly to remove dry soils.
Empty vacuum bags regularly to ensure maximum efficiency.
Reducing your vacuuming frequency is a sure way to destroy your carpets and risk the health of your staff.

Good quality mats are essential at all entrances to help remove sand / mud from shoes.
These need to be commercially cleaned regularly.

Deep clean your carpets regularly – frequency is dependent on premises traffic.
It is best to have your carpets cleaned before they “look” dirty.

Regular care of your carpets goes a long way to prolong the life & appearance of your premises.

Use liquid soap (as opposed to a soap bar) in restrooms, this helps to keep your basins looking cleaner for longer.

Sanitary products can be installed to satisfy health requirements of restrooms.

Create a schedule / calendar for your cleaning needs, to ensure cleaning occurs periodically as needed.
Eg / windows, carpets, tiles & grout, restrooms, vinyl flooring etc. Even consider pre-booking in advance.

In the case of emergency spills: mop up with paper towel & call in a professional to asses both surface & stain before trying to clean yourself with unknown chemicals.

Office chairs work dirt & sand into carpet fibres, damaging them often beyond repair.
They will also scratch & deteriorate your hard floors.
Utilise heavy duty plastic mats under office chairs & desks.

Applying a sealer to your vinyl flooring every 12 months will help prolong the need for expensive replacement (sealer acts as a sacrificial coating).

FURNITURE & UPHOLSTERY CLEANING

FURNITURE & UPHOLSTERY CLEANING

Upholstery cleaning is an important task that if incorrectly done can go horribly wrong. Lounge suites, sofas, arm chairs and various other upholstered furniture can attract a lot of unwanted soils, specifically in a house with children or pets. Although dirt and discolorations are unavoidable in a home, they don’t have to be long-term. Furniture cleaned by Dunn’s Cleaning Service will feel and look great again.

We use safe, non-toxic solutions ensuring your furnishings are sanitised, freshened up and most importantly completely safe for children and pets.

PAVERS & OUTDOOR CLEANING

PAVERS & OUTDOOR CLEANING

High pressure cleaning is an effective means to clean the grunge and grime from concrete driveways, outdoor patios and paths.

Slowly over time outdoor pavers begin to fade, become dirty, clog up, and stain – and is often not noticed immediately. Dunn’s Cleaning Service can give your paving a second life, and in no time at all can be the asset it once was to your home!

Paver cleaning couldn’t be easier or more effective than with our machinery and trained technicians. We generate our own hot water on site and specific solutions are mixed to exactly the required strength. These are then delivered in such a way to minimize mess and splashes, whilst maximising effectiveness by cleaning deep below the surface.

What Dunn’s Cleaning Service can offer:

  • Cleaning of concrete, bricks, pavers and exterior tile cleaning
  • Brick paver cleaning around your pool
  • Sealing of porous materials

Whilst we are on site you can also ask advice regarding other surfaces you have in and around your home – we’re always happy to help.

TILE & GROUT CLEANING

TILE & GROUT CLEANING

The Tile
Cleaning tile floors by hand is very hard work. It is messy, uncomfortable and impossible to get the deep clean results that come with professional tile and grout cleaning. Dirt, oil and bacteria can often discolour the tile surface, and accumulates over time to a point where regular mopping and spot cleaning does not leave the surface appearing as it should. Not only do dirty tiles and grout look unpleasant but they are also unhygienic and can attract additional bacteria. Our professional tile and grout cleaning service restores the lustre to your floors, leaving them looking pristine.

The Grout
Grout absorbs moisture, oils and sugars that attract bacteria, dirt and other solids – in turn causing it to darken in appearance. Even porous surfaces like brick, Italian quarry- tile, limestone and other engineered flooring can act this way and absorb liquids, oils and dirt, eventually turning dark. There are chemicals that can dilute the grime but if they are not properly removed, the formed slurry can work it’s way deeper into the grout. Even rotary scrubbers cannot scrub dirt off fine texture lines. Moreover, the final mop of the day adds even more moisture and dirt to the grout.

The Solution
At Dunn’s Cleaning Service our floor tile cleaners achieve a far better result than any hand cleaning could ever do. By utilizing specific cleaning options and high pressure van mounted cleaning equipment, we have the ability to clean your ceramic tiles and cement, while removing all residues from the floor. Dunn’s Cleaning Service can also rectify all darkened grout and grime issues. Our cleaning methods do not just dilute and suspend the dirt but rely on hot water, high pressure, industry recommended cleaning solutions and a powerful vacuum for effective cleaning.

The process starts off with applying a suitable cleaning product to loosen the bacteria and grime. Then pressurized water is aimed to move out unwanted grime, bacteria and chemical residues that have been hiding in microscopic pockets within the tile and grout over a period of time. The last step involves using suction to remove the dirty water, leaving the tile and grout clean.
