Internal glass in office

When designing commercial properties, such as office blocks and retail outlets, many architects and business owners select glass as a beautiful, durable internal decoration.

Whether it’s glass panels for meeting rooms or small internal windows on doors to make them look more inviting, internal glass is a great way to make your commercial property stand out.

However, it does pose many challenges. For example, a recent study has shown that COVID-19 can last as long as 28 days on some surfaces, including glass.

For essential businesses that need to remain open during the lockdown, cleanliness is vital to the safety of customers and staff, as well as the reputation of your company.

Even non-essential businesses need to keep their internal glass clean, as they could potentially be reopening soon and they need to make sure that they hit the ground running if they want to make up for lost time.

That means that companies across the corporate spectrum need to focus on cleaning their internal glass, as well as all other surfaces and public areas in their commercial base, more regularly. This can pose a challenge, as it takes a lot of time, effort and specialist cleaning knowledge to sanitise glass and other surfaces properly.

So, what can you do to overcome this issue in your commercial properties? Here are some tips from the commercial cleaning experts here at It’s Clean.
