Cleaning commercial spaces is significantly different from cleaning the surfaces of houses and apartments. The main difference is primarily the surface that needs to be cleaned, but also the issues of selecting appropriate cleaning products, cleaning equipment, establishing appropriate processes during the cleaning service and employing cleaning staff.
The size of the surface and its type are important
When cleaning home spaces, we deal with an area that is not very large compared to commercial spaces such as warehouses, hospitals or shopping malls. The size of the facility that needs to be kept clean is of great importance. It is the surface that determines what cleaning products and equipment we choose and how we organize the service process itself. Cleaning a 120 m2 home space will be completely different than cleaning a 10,000 m2 warehouse.

Organization of work when performing cleaning services
Determining the scope of work and then organizing and preparing appropriate processes and procedures during cleaning is extremely important. Thanks to good work organization, each cleaning service employee knows exactly what to do and what products and equipment to use. And they are aware of what may negatively impact their work. Depending on the type of service, cleaning of home surfaces is performed by one person or a two-person team. In turn, cleaning commercial spaces is a complex process that requires a different organization and probably the employment of more employees.
Cleaning home surfaces is limited to cleaning several types of surfaces that also contain difficult, but quite typical, dirt. Fat-based dirt in the kitchen, scale and soap residues in the bathroom, or simply dust, which is well known to every cleaning company. Commercial cleaning takes place in different conditions. Where the number of surface types varies greatly and requires different cleaning techniques, different equipment and additional specialized cleaning products that will quickly and effectively remove the most difficult dirt.
Professional cleaning products
To remove dirt in apartments and houses, cleaning products available in most stores and supermarkets are enough. These are mainly products that are ready to use and do not require dilution in water, as is the case with professional cleaning chemicals used when cleaning commercial facilities.
The products used to clean commercial spaces are highly concentrated. This means that, for example, from the CLINEX Floral Breeze product, with a capacity of 1 liter, which is dedicated to daily cleaning of floors, you will receive 400 liters of ready-to-use solution. Another example would be a product for cleaning sanitary facilities. CLINEX W3 Sanit for removing soap residues and deposits, and what’s more, it leaves a protective layer on the cleaned surface.
It is worth looking at the issue of using professional cleaning products in terms of efficiency and financial savings. Let’s imagine a situation where we have 1,000 m2 of surface to clean. We can then use CLINEX BLINK , which is also a highly concentrated product. To clean 1000 m2 you will need only 250 liters of working solution, i.e. 1.25 liters of concentrate. The cost of washing 1000 m2 with the above product will cost only PLN 31.25.
Cleaning equipment
We do not need to have specialized equipment to clean houses. Cleaning devices and machines such as single-disc scrubbers or large scrubber-dryers will not be used effectively in home conditions. When cleaning commercial spaces, cleaning machines are necessary to perform the service quickly, effectively and, above all, reliably.
You may have already seen autonomous cleaning robots. They work autonomously, i.e. without an operator, in the largest shopping malls in Poland and around the world. It is worth emphasizing that robots do it very well, although the price for an autonomous cleaning machine is quite high.
Frequency of cleaning services
Maintaining cleanliness in commercial facilities is performed with increased frequency. Many companies have decided that cleaning services must be performed 8 or 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. This may result from the specificity of a given enterprise and its nature of activity. When cleaning at home, there is no need for someone to keep it clean for 8 hours.
