Nobody likes coughing, sneezing, and being stuffed up at the office. Common office allergens can worsen allergies and contribute to these unpleasantries. Dust mites, mold, pollen, pet dander (brought in on clothing), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products or office supplies are all factors that can exacerbate allergies, leading to headaches, sneezing, eye irritation, and respiratory issues for employees. It’s essential to clean regularly to prevent these allergens. We’re more likely to be productive when we’re comfortable in the office.
Regular Dusting & Vacuuming
To reduce allergens, start by regularly dusting and vacuuming. Surfaces such as desks, shelves, and window sills collect a lot of dust and debris over time. Dusting frequently can help reduce the amount of allergens in the office. Vacuums can trap allergens like dust and dander, preventing them from being released into the air. It’s a good idea to create a schedule for office cleaning focusing on high-traffic areas and common spaces, such as meeting rooms, lobbies, and break rooms.
Upholstery and Carpet Cleaning
If your office has a homier touch with carpet and upholstered furniture, this could be a leading cause of allergens in your workspace. Carpets and upholstered furniture can trap dust, dirt, and allergens, making them a breeding ground for mold and mites if not cleaned regularly. We recommend regular cleaning of your office’s carpets and upholstery to keep them allergen-free.
Hypoallergenic and Green Cleaning Solutions
A great way to help prevent office allergens is to opt for hypoallergenic and green cleaning products and solutions free from harsh chemicals, VOCs, and fragrances, which can trigger allergies or asthma. Many commercial cleaning companies and products offer “green” cleaning solutions but look closely to ensure they follow standards. Cleaning solutions should be free from carcinogens, reproductive toxins, neurotoxins, scents, and other additives that can cause health issues. We highly encourage businesses to opt for green cleaning solutions.
