Are your cubicle walls contributing to health problems?
Do you spend your day confined in a fabric-walled cubicle? Although many offices have a cleaning schedule for carpets and hard-floors, upholstered walls often go neglected and overlooked. Here are a few reasons you might want to consider cleaning your cubicle walls.
Dust Control
Dust mites can easily be transferred from home to office. Cubicle walls essentially act as standing traps for dust, dirt, airborne irritants, dander and other debris. An average adult sheds up to 1.5 grams of skin a day, contributing to over a million dust mites. While you don’t have to stress about this every day of the year, it should give you cause to clean your cubicle walls every now and then.
Reduce Allergens
Allergies are one of the top three most common reasons people miss work. Although dust mites themselves are not harmful, they will emit waste that can cause allergy and asthma symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, watery eyes, headaches and heavy breathing. It’s important to routinely clean your cubicle walls with a HEPA-filtration vacuum in order to reduce dust, allergens and improve your office’s indoor air quality.
Get rid of Unsightly Spots
Cubicle walls that have been stained by things like coffee, soda, or food are not only ugly and send the wrong impression, but they also serve as an unhealthy breeding ground for bacteria and funky odors. Dirty and greasy hands that come into contact with your walls can also contribute to this problem. Make sure that you deep clean cubicle walls to remove spots, freshen fabric and keep your facility comfortable for guests and employees alike.
Cleaning your Cubicle Walls
It’s a good idea to regularly give your cubicle walls a gentle scrubbing with a soft nylon brush followed by vacuuming. For stains, use a pre-treating spray and then wash with a liquid detergent. Another way to ensure that cubicle panels remain spotlessly clean for a long is to treat them with an upholstery protector. Invest in professional cleaning services to make sure your whole office stays clean all year.
