Public buildings, such as museums or universities, are places frequented by several thousand people each day. As such, they experience constant wear and tear and face unique cleaning challenges. This article explores the specific issues that cleaning companies face when striving to maintain these spaces, which must be kept in pristine condition to offer a clean and serene environment for visitors.
Visitor and Customer Traffic
Museums and universities are locations where visitor and customer traffic is constant and often unpredictable. Cleaning must therefore be done while considering these flows to minimize disruption while ensuring cleanliness and safety. Peak times, such as rush hours or holiday periods, can also put our cleaning teams to the test. Careful planning is thus necessary to ensure that spaces remain clean and welcoming, even during the busiest periods. At La Providence, we deploy various connected devices, such as flow sensors, to adapt our services to the occupancy and activity of the spaces in question.
Waste Disposal
In addition to the heavy traffic of visitors and customers, public spaces generate a significant amount of waste daily. This waste can attract pests, posing a major challenge for cleaning companies. Efficiently managing waste disposal is therefore essential for La Providence in order to maintain cleanliness and prevent hygiene and health issues. Thanks to our 4D services, we can also prevent the appearance of certain pests.
Diverse Surfaces to Clean
Public spaces contain a wide variety of surfaces, such as tile, marble, wood, carpets/rugs, etc. Each surface requires specific cleaning methods, and La Providence is well-equipped to handle this diversity. Additionally, unlike other environments, museums and universities rarely close for cleaning. Our teams must be able to perform deep cleaning tasks while minimizing disruption to visitors and clients, often operating 7 days a week.
Safety of Cleaning Products
Cleaning in public spaces must also account for the safety of visitors, customers, and staff. It is therefore crucial to use safe cleaning chemicals and adopt proper handling practices. In line with our CSR strategy, we adjust our cleaning methods to ensure the safety of both our employees and the environment.
Maintaining cleanliness in public spaces demands a strategic and adaptive approach. We must continually overcome complex challenges to keep environments clean, safe, and welcoming, while efficiently managing traffic flows. Thanks to our connected devices and 9 service areas, we are able to tackle these challenges and provide pleasant spaces for all our clients and their visitors.
