5 Pro Cleaning Tips Every Property Manager Should Know

As a property manager, you juggle a lot, tenant concerns, maintenance requests, and the never-ending task of keeping your property in top condition. But when it comes to cleanliness, it’s not just about visual appeal. A clean space sets the tone for professionalism, tenant satisfaction, and health. Here are five tried-and-true cleaning tips to help you stay ahead: 1. Prioritize High-Touch Surface Disinfection Think elevator buttons, door handles, reception counters, and washroom fixtures. These hotspots should be disinfected daily, especially in shared or high-traffic areas. It reduces germ transmission and reassures tenants that their space is cared for. 2. Don’t Skip Deep Cleans While regular janitorial cleaning maintains day-to-day hygiene, deep cleaning is where real transformation happens. Think of it as the "spring cleaning" for your commercial property, floor scrubbing, vent dusting, carpet shampooing, and baseboard detailing. We recommend scheduling a deep clean ...

The Real Cost of a Dirty Office: How a Clean Workspace Saves You Money

  At first glance, a little dust or a missed trash bin might not seem like a big deal. But when it comes to running a business, the hidden costs of an unclean office can quietly chip away at your bottom line. From reduced employee productivity to a poor impression on clients, the impact of inadequate cleaning adds up — fast. At SteadyClean, we don’t just clean. We help you protect your reputation, retain great staff, and operate more efficiently. Here's how a professional, consistent cleaning service can save your business money. 1. Reduced Sick Days = Higher Productivity Workplaces are high-traffic environments. Without regular disinfecting, germs spread quickly, especially on shared surfaces like desks, keyboards, doorknobs, and kitchen appliances. This leads to higher absenteeism, lower morale, and, ultimately, a less productive team. The cost of one employee off sick for 2–3 days? Hundreds of dollars in lost time. Now multiply that across your team. With SteadyClean’...

Is Your Building Really Clean? The Hidden Areas Most Cleaners Miss

When your building looks clean, it’s easy to assume the job’s been done right. But many commercial spaces are only clean on the surface, and over time, that can lead to odors, poor tenant experiences, and even health concerns. At SteadyClean, we believe professional cleaning is about more than just appearances . It’s about attention to detail, consistency, and making sure nothing gets missed, especially the things people don’t always see. Below are some of the most overlooked areas we encounter during site inspections or takeovers from other cleaning vendors. 1. Baseboards and Corners Dust and debris naturally settle along floor edges and in corners, especially in high-traffic areas. These spots often go untouched unless your cleaner is trained to include them in routine service. 2. Air Vents and Return Grilles Out of sight shouldn’t mean out of mind. Dirty vents not only look bad but also affect air quality, especially in older buildings or during seasonal transitions. ...

Winter Cleaning Tips to Keep Your Workplace Safe and Welcoming

Introduction: Winter is here! While the season brings snowflakes and holiday cheer, it also presents unique challenges for commercial spaces. From increased foot traffic during the holidays to the challenges of snow, salt, and slush, maintaining a clean and safe environment is essential for your clients and employees. At SteadyClean, we understand the importance of a well-maintained workplace during the colder months.

Implement a daily cleaning schedule to mop up water and remove salt residues. Encourage employees and visitors to wipe their shoes on mats before entering. 2. Keep Floors...
