There are nearly 200,000 registered housing communities in Poland. Servicing this type of facilities is a daily bread for many cleaning companies. However, maintaining cleanliness in housing communities and housing estates requires appropriate knowledge and preparation, as well as the selection of effective cleaning products.
What does maintaining cleanliness in housing communities involve?
Regardless of the size of the estate and the number of residential premises, the task of the cleaning company is to periodically maintain the cleanliness of common areas, such as staircases, elevators, basements, underground garage, garbage sheds, green areas and sidewalks.
Additionally, depending on the provisions of the contract, windows must be washed several times a year and gardening work must be performed in spring and summer, e.g. mowing the grass and planting new plants. In winter, the cleaning company is also responsible for clearing snow from sidewalks. With such a wide variety of areas to clean, selecting effective cleaning products and equipment is crucial.
Staircases
Paneling
Maintaining cleanliness in residential communities begins with removing cobwebs that may be present on the ceiling. Then we start washing above-floor surfaces. In buildings built in the Polish People’s Republic we can find paneling on the walls. CLINEX BLINK is ideal for cleaning this type of surface, as it does not leave streaks or stains and also gives a delicate satin shine.
Handrails and electricity switches
Handrails and electricity switches require special attention. These are touchable places that, in addition to washing, also require disinfection. To shorten the washing and disinfection process, we can use CLINEX DEZOFAST . It is a cleaning and disinfecting agent that both cleans and removes bacteria, viruses and microorganisms.
Floor
A clean and fragrant floor will not go unnoticed by residents. Therefore, to effectively clean the floor, first sweep it with a dry mop or, if technically possible, vacuum it. Only then can we proceed to washing. A two-bucket system and a microfiber mop are enough to ensure that the washing process runs smoothly and quickly.
However, the right equipment is not enough. To clean floors in staircases, we need effective cleaning products that will dissolve dirt. We recommend CLINEX FLORAL – BREEZE for daily washing. Not only does it perfectly remove dirt, but it also gives a fresh and pleasant scent of flowers and fruits. It is also worth changing the fragrance compositions of floor cleaning liquids periodically. Thanks to this, we are sure that residents will pay attention to cleanliness and the new smell. Products from the CLINEX FLORAL series are available in 4 fragrance compositions – lemon, floral, fruity and sea.
Elevators
The interiors of the elevators are covered with stainless steel, which can be very problematic to clean. A mistake that is very often repeated is omitting to exfoliate the surface. First, use CLINEX GREASEOFF , which will not only degrease but also remove stubborn dirt. The effect we want to achieve is, of course, an elevator that is shiny and free from fingerprints.
CLINEX SHINE STEEL easily polishes and removes fingerprints. Additionally, it nourishes and unifies the appearance of stainless steel. A huge advantage is a very short evaporation time, which allows you to use the elevator right after washing it.
Underground garages
Maintaining cleanliness in housing communities and housing estates involves periodic sweeping and washing the floors in underground garages. We usually provide this service twice a year. As with any floor, we must sweep or vacuum it before washing it, and only then wash it. Underground garages have a large area, so we recommend using professional manual or combustion sweepers to reduce the time required for sweeping. For washing, we will also need a washing and collecting machine, which will not only speed up cleaning, but also allow for better results.
However, washing twice a year means that a lot of dirt accumulates on the floor surface, which cannot be removed with an ordinary daily floor cleaning liquid. CLINEX MAXDIRT will cope with accumulated and dried dirt. Thanks to its low foaming properties, the preparation can be used for hand and machine washing.
Garbage gazebos
The main tasks of a cleaning company in the area of garbage sheds will be to periodically clean them by removing accumulated waste on the floor. Additionally, depending on your needs, we clean waste containers both inside and outside. We also do not forget about washing the floor.
Window washing
Windows also include frames and frames that we clean first, and then we move on to cleaning the glass. We can do it quickly and effectively with If the frames and frames are already clean, we start cleaning the windows. To improve the washing process, it is worth purchasing clean and dry cloths, washing sponges and a squeegee to remove excess water. In addition to the equipment that helps us clean, glass cleaning fluid is an equally important factor. CLINEX PROFIT GLASS is a super concentrate that is efficient and economical to use. Does not leave the effect of dried water drops. The preparation is enriched with additives that protect the cleaned surfaces against the rapid deposition of dirt and dust.
Maintaining order outside the building
If the estate has green areas, we will be obliged to keep it clean not only inside but also outside. The main responsibility will be to remove visible papers, bottles, cigarette butts and broken glass. If the area is not too large, all we need is a brush and a closed waste container. If the outdoor area is large, metal service carts will come to our aid, on which we can load waste from bins and attach sweeping equipment.
Garden works
Managers of housing estates and housing communities often look for partners who are equally responsible for maintaining cleanliness inside buildings, outside areas and gardening. Gardening work includes mowing the grass, trimming trees and bushes, and making new plantings. Very often, cleaning companies employ gardeners. Specialists in this field relieve the cleaning workers of garden work. A common problem in outdoor properties is unwanted greenery on paving stones or on the facade. How to deal with unwanted greenery – read in this article.
Snow removal
Winter in Poland is different. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. However, in the event of ice or snowfall, maintaining cleanliness in housing communities and housing estates requires snow removal. The most important thing is to be prepared for precipitation. Get manual snow removal equipment or mechanical equipment such as combustion snow blowers. Additionally, agree with the contractor who is responsible for purchasing sand or salt for sprinkling icy sidewalks. Don’t neglect doing this. Icy and unplowed sidewalks are the main cause of limb fractures.
