Spring Cleaning and Maintenance to keep your business thriving

As we exit the dreadful cold and enter the glorious days of extended sunshine, beautiful flowers and sensational warmth, we tend to find a little more energy here in the DMV! When this happens, EVERYONE starts to think Spring Cleaning! Well this should go for your business as well.

As working adults, most of us spend more time at work then we do in our homes, so we should take great care of our offices. Besides the fact that we want our customers, clients and employees to be in a clean comfortable space, we want to reduce the probability of damage to our business because this is how we provide for our families. Everyday that our offices are closed could mean lost revenue and that is not something we want to lose. Being proactive in your maintenance and preparation can save you thousands of dollars in the long run and SERVPRO® is Here to Help!

There are a few things SERVPRO® of Charles County and SERVPRO® of Oxon Hill recommends all our businesses complete to ensure they are proactive and prepared!

• Carpeted Areas

If you have carpeted areas in your office, examine the condition of the carpet.

• Professional carpet cleaning of high trafficked areas will prevent bacteria, allergens, and dirt from building up which could prolong the life of your commercial grade carpet. (P.S. Carpet isn’t cheap!)
• Hard Floors

If you have hard floors in your office please examine them carefully.

• A buckle in your flooring could be a trip hazard for employees and customers but it could also mean there is/was water intrusion. Water intrusions that are not dried properly run the risk of mold problems in the future. Sanitizing/Disinfecting hard floors is something that SERVPRO® specializes in to ensure that there is no additional moisture left behind to create other problems.
• Upholstery

Do you see stains on your waiting room chairs?

• Unfortunately, dust mites and other organisms tend to stick themselves to fabric. (We all have heard of a bed bug issue! EW!) If you have waiting room chairs or other fabric pieces call SERVPRO® today for a free estimate on cleaning. The last thing we want is one of your customers to have an issue that traces back to your chair.
• Ceilings

Have you noticed a stain on your office ceiling?

• Call SERVPRO® and we will come out to provide a free moisture check in that area. Often we don’t realize that there is water intrusion or a moisture issue until its too late and we see a stain. When you first notice that stain investigate it right away! If it happened this time it will happen again, and improperly dried materials run the risk of developing mold and that is the last thing we want or need!
• GET PREPARED

Do you have an emergency plan in place that is mobile?

• You guessed it! SERVPRO® of Charles County and SERVPRO® of Oxon Hill will come out and provide you will a FREE Emergency Ready Profile (ERP) that comes with an APP! (Available on Android and Apple devices) The ERP can contain all your information that you will need to be able to get your business back up and running in the care of an emergency.

Here at SERVPRO® of Charles County and SERVPRO® of Oxon Hill we know how difficult it can be to run a business and that’s why we want you to know that we are ALWAYS available… 24/7/365! You can call us @ 301-753-8313 and someone from our office is always available!
