The Dangers of Dirty Air In The Workplace

Cleaning company in Austin

Any good business owner should want things to run as smoothly and efficiently as possible in the workplace, while ensuring good conditions for the workers and earning maximum profit. Let’s talk about how dirty air in the workplace can be disastrous for all of these goals. And then we’ll discuss what you can do to fix the problem if your air systems are putting out dirty air in your business or the business you work in.

Examining The Dangers

If you own a business or work in one and you suspect that the air ducts may not have been cleaned in a long while, it’s important to understand exactly what that means. Air ducts that pump out dirty air can have very negative effects on employees, customers/clients or anyone else in the building. Dust and debris that re-enter the air may cause allergies or respiratory issues, or greatly worsen symptoms for people who already have respiratory issues. Mold growth in the air ducts can be even worse, causing even more severe symptoms of allergy and respiratory issues, creating a work environment that won’t be healthy for anyone. If you own a building or work in a building where you suspect that this is happening, hire professionals to clean the air ducts as soon as possible

Aside from the clear negative effects that it can have on people in the building, dirty air ducts can also have negative effects on the finances of the business owner, since the build up in dirt and debris can actually cause the HVAC system to work harder, raising energy costs. So if you want to keep the people in your business safe, and help save yourself on energy costs, it’s time to hire professionals.

3 Ways to Prevent Shoes From Damaging Your Flooring

Are your shoes damaging your beautiful flooring? Probably! Those hard soles just can’t help it. But fortunately, there are several things we can do to prevent wear and tear on our flooring- especially from our shoes. Below are three simple things you can do! Good luck!

Lay Area Rugs Around the Home

Place area rugs around your home to protect your flooring. They can also be a great way to accessorize a room and make it complete! Just make sure you occasionally shake the dust and dirt out of your rugs, and vacuum at least once a week. Remember: just because you can’t see the dirt, doesn’t mean it’s not there!

Remove Shoes at the Door

Here’s a secret: set a basket at the entrance to your home, dedicated to shoes. Have everyone remove their shoes before entering your home. This way, dirt and dust doesn’t even have the opportunity to come in contact with your flooring! You’ve stopped it right in its tracks. There’s really no reason to wear shoes on carpeting or even hardwood and tile flooring. Taking them off does wonders to protect your flooring.

Place Door Mats at Entrances

If you place a doormat at all of the entrances to your home, you’ll also be preventing dirt and debris from entering the house. You can find fancy ones, too, that decorate the room! But the main purpose is to protect your flooring from what’s being tracked in from your shoes! This is a great way to do so!
