Wilkins Refresh Cleaning Service Featured on WCBI: Expert Tips for Office Hygiene

Owner Michael Wilkins of Wilkins Refresh Cleaning Service recently had the honor of being featured on WCBI, one of the area’s top news stations, where he sat down with morning anchor Kealy Shields to share his expert insights on why regular office cleaning is a must for businesses of all sizes.

In case you missed it, Michael’s segment was packed with valuable information about office cleanliness and how it impacts employee health, attendance, and productivity. Here’s a recap of some of the key takeaways from that big-time WCBI interview.

The Importance of Weekly Office Cleaning

Michael Wilkins couldn’t stress enough how important it is for offices to schedule a minimum of once-a-week cleaning to maintain a healthy and productive work environment. Offices are high-traffic areas, and germs, viruses, and bacteria can spread quickly, especially in the colder months or during flu season. According to Michael, keeping your office clean isn’t just about appearances—it’s about making sure your employees are healthy and present.

Think about it: when employees start missing work due to illness, productivity plummets. By ensuring that your office is thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis, you’re not only protecting the health of your team, but you’re also protecting the overall efficiency and success of your business. Michael also mentioned that facilities open 5-7 days a week need at least 3-5 days of weekly cleaning.

Key Areas That Deserve Special Attention

In his WCBI interview, Michael didn’t just talk about general office cleaning. He highlighted several specific areas of the office that deserve special attention from professional cleaning services: lobbies, breakrooms, and restrooms.

1. Lobby Areas:
   The lobby is the first thing clients, visitors, and employees see when they enter your office. It’s the face of your business, and it needs to make a strong, positive impression. Lobby cleanliness is crucial not just for aesthetic purposes but for creating a welcoming atmosphere. A clean, well-maintained lobby also helps set the tone for the rest of the office.

2. Breakrooms:
   Breakrooms can be a breeding ground for germs. From kitchen counters to microwaves and refrigerators, there are plenty of high-touch surfaces that need regular sanitization. Since employees eat, drink, and relax in breakrooms, keeping them spotless can have a huge impact on employee health and morale.

3. Restrooms:
   Let’s face it: no one wants to deal with dirty restrooms. But they’re one of the most important areas that office managers need to ensure that their cleaning companies are paying close attention to. Restrooms should always be cleaned thoroughly and sanitized regularly to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. Clean restrooms make employees feel more comfortable and respected, which can directly influence their overall job satisfaction.
