Commercial Cleaning Company in Bengaluru

Commercial cleaning is cleaning that is undertaken by professional cleaners who are hired by a company or organisation. For example, hotels, offices and leisure centres are likely to hire commercial cleaners to ensure that their buildings are adequately sanitised and clean. Commercial cleaning is very different from domestic cleaning.

Types of commercial cleaning

There are different types of commercial cleaning, so in some cases, commercial cleaners will cater to specific businesses (such as hotels). Here is a list of some of the main types of commercial cleaning services:

        Hotel housekeeping – this cleaning service allows the regular upkeep of hotel rooms, corridors and other facilities that may experience high traffic. It is essential to have bedrooms cleaned professionally as these spaces can accumulate lots of different types of germs.
        Office cleaning – this keeps office spaces clean and tidy to help boost productivity in the workplace.
        Medical facility cleaning – this type of cleaning service is very important as medical facilities are high traffic areas that are exposed to a number of germs and bacteria. Special care will need to be taken around medical equipment, chemicals and patient rooms.
        Sports and leisure cleaning – this includes the sanitisation of equipment, changing rooms that experience high traffic and swimming pools which must follow strict hygiene criteria.
        Ventilation cleaning – this service will maintain vents and extraction units to prevent dust and debris piling up over time and posing a threat to people’s health.
        Window cleaning – ensures that buildings look professional inside and out as well as offering employees good visibility.

These cleaning services will typically involve routine and general cleaning using a variety of commercial cleaning products, chemicals and techniques.

Why is commercial cleaning important?

No matter what business you’re in, keeping buildings clean is incredibly important for health and safety reasons, as well as making a good first impression on customers. Cape Clean has put together  some of the benefits of commercial cleaning to demonstrate the vital role it plays across organisations:

Relieves pressure from management and staff members

With staff and management being busy with other tasks throughout the day, it can be difficult to find the time to clean. Furthermore, having a clean environment can have a positive impact on productivity and motivation as there is less clutter to distract employees and the workspace has a fresher feel.

Maintains properties and prevents damage

Commercial cleaners are professionally trained to ensure that buildings are hygienic and safe. It is important to regularly clean areas to prevent damage – for example, if there is a spillage that is not dealt with in good time, it could lead to permanent damage or staining. Therefore, hiring commercial cleaners can be cost-effective in the long term as you do not have to replace furniture as often.

The cleanliness of buildings reflect businesses

Having a clean environment which is organised will make a good first impression on new customers, as well as retaining existing ones. For example, if your business is a leisure centre and it is not cleaned regularly, customers may be put off and look use alternative facilities.
It’s essential for health and safety reasons

Allowing mould to grow, not throwing away expired consumables or leaving dust to pile up can be bad for people’s health. For example, if you run a hotel and a customer suffers from asthma, dust could trigger an allergic reaction which will put the customer at risk. Therefore. commercial cleaners play a pivotal role in keeping guests and employees safe.

'Sour' grapes to turn sweet for Mizo farmers soon

Aizawl, Jul 8 : Grape growers in Hnahlan and Champhai in eastern Mizoram would soon see the people of the state quench their thirst with the 'fruits of their labour'.

Wine produced from this grapes will be available hopefully by September this year in Mizoram which has been under a dry law for 13 long years.

Earlier, the Mizoram Liquor Total Prohibition Act, imposed in the state on February 20, 1997, prevented the grapes from large-scale commercialisation even as the premium variety of Lubrusca grapes are most suitable for producing high quality and commercially viable wine. The Act was amended in April 2007, allowing the grapes to be processed into wine, containing 16 per cent alcohol. The grape wine will be branded as ''Zawlaidi'' which means love potion in Mizo language.

The grape cultivators had formed Grape Growers Society with district horticulture officer of Khawzawl as its managing director.

Two wineries had been set up by the society with logistical support from the government.

Vanlalruata Chenkual, managing director of the Grape Growers Society and Khawzal DHO has said each winery had the capacity of fermenting one lakh 650 ml bottles. The wine bottle would be labelled ''Not for sale outside Mizoram'', as it is expected that marketing the grape wine in the local market would be more profitable than exporting it.

The winemaking process will be monitored by experts from liquor major Shaw Wallace.

''To make the wine competitive and conform to international standards, experts from Shaw Wallace will train and guide the winemakers,'' Horticulture Director Samuel Rosanglura has said.

According to the sources, Hnahlan is expected to produce 8000 bottles of wine and Champhai 12,000 bottles. One bottle would be sold for Rs 150. Champhai Grape Growers Society has 325 families engaged in grape cultivation and harvested 478.5 quintals of grapes during FY10 and they expect to harvest 2,056 quintals during FY11. Hnahlan Grape Growers Society has 670 families of cultivators and their annual harvest during 2009-10 was 6916 quintals and expected 7910 quintals this year.

The grape cultivators believe that with its suitable climate and soil conditions, the region has the potential of becoming the largest grape producer in the country.
