Cleaning and maintenance - what is required

 

Banning smoking in offices has had a significant effect on the need for cleaning internal blinds. Before that happened nicotine would stick to the blinds (and all other decorations and furnishings) and dust and dirt would adhere to the nicotine.

 

Our business originally started by cleaning blinds in the late 60’s and early 70’s when office blinds needed to be removed for cleaning on yearly cycle. In areas where grease in the atmosphere from adjacent restaurants created an even stickier film on the blinds sometimes 6 monthly.

 

This process also allowed for an annual maintenance check of the cords and mechanisms.

 

If the blinds now do not look so dirty it does not mean that they do not need cleaning. Whilst we recommend that this should be done on an annual basis we recognise that when the need is less visible budgets may be restricted but it should not be overlooked.  Certainly an annual maintenance inspection will be cost effective in that it reduces the possibility of breakdown call outs. Cleaning should be factored into the budget at least on a 2-3 year cycle and should be allowed for every year.

 

We would be pleased to offer maintenance and cleaning contracts.
