Sure, if you see a mess on the floor or a spilled cup of coffee on the break-room counter, then you know to clean it up immediately, but it’s harder to know when the best time will be for a more detailed and comprehensive clean of your home or office. In today’s blog, we’re tackling just that. What signs to look for at home or around the office to signify that it is finally time for that deep clean. 

Signs Your Home Needs A Deep Clean

As a homeowner, you’re more than likely familiar with having to clean your home constantly just to stay afloat, however, there are some things that get pushed to the wayside until much later. Here are some things that you can be on the lookout for around the house to let you know that it is indeed finally time for a deep clean.

• Lingering odors around carpeted areas
• Dust buildup in hard-to-reach areas
  • If you notice that your bookshelves or furniture are collecting more and more dust, then it is probably time for a deep clean
• Carpets looking worn down and less bouncy to the touch
• Sticky or greasy surfaces in the kitchen
• Increased allergy symptoms in family members
• Grimy bathroom tiles and fixtures

Signs Your Office Needs A Deep Clean

Around the office, it’s easy to get busy with an important client or project that demands the lion’s share of your time, but it is still very important to keep the office clean and tidy for both guests/clients, and staff. Here are some signs to look for:

• A higher frequency of sickness or calling in sick than usual
  • If you notice employees falling ill more often, it may be due to unsanitary shared surfaces like doorknobs, computer keyboards, headsets, bathrooms, and more. 
• Carpet looks dingy and worn
• Foul smells in the breakroom or bathrooms
  • If the smell lingers from day to day, then it is time to get to the root of the problem and deep clean the whole area
• Dust and dirt accumulation on windows
  • It may seem innocuous at first, but if your windows are accumulating dirt and grime, then things must really be bad because dirt accumulates fairly slowly on those. If you notice your office windows getting dirty, then it is definitely time for a deep clean! 
• Dust and debris accumulating under desks and other low traffic and low cleaning frequency areas
  • If you notice dirt and debris piling up in random areas, then it’s time to get in there and clean it all out.
