If your allergies always seem to act up every time you come to work, or you feel inexplicably ill, the cause could be poor indoor air quality in your building. Whether due to decreased air circulation or thick dust accumulation, it’s quite a common phenomenon but one with an easy fix: better office cleaning services.

Maintenance One provides janitorial services in Stamford, CT, and surrounding areas, helping more and more offices avoid these common illnesses:

  • Chemical Contamination: Many new buildings are well-sealed for environmental reasons. But while this accomplishes heightened energy efficiency, such a set up can do more harm than good without an adequate ventilation system. In such a tightly sealed environment, office workers can inhale paint fumes, pesticides, and other lingering chemicals with nowhere to go. When ventilation is limited, Maintenance One helps by utilizing green cleaning methods, which limit human exposure to harsh or dangerous chemicals.

  • office cleaningMold & Mildew Exposure: Another common cause for office sickness is fungus and certain bacterial strains, which thrive in high moisture environments. HVAC systems and carpets are particularly susceptible to incubating and distributing such organisms, which can cause allergic reactions and flu-like or pneumonia-like symptoms in office workers. To keep mold at bay, look for office cleaning companies providing thorough carpet cleaning services.

  • Stressful Work Environments: Employees could be negatively affected by something other than poor air quality. In what might otherwise be a positive workplace, people could be getting frequent headaches or nausea from something as simple as glaring overhead lights, hallway chatter, or annoying sound frequencies coming from the electrical system— these are subtle, yet surprisingly significant environmental stressors.

If you’re dealing with the same physical symptoms every time you come to work, speak with your human resources department, and remember that Maintenance One is available for office cleaning, floor maintenance, inspections, and more.
