Using non-corrosive elements
Although you need to stay green and eco-friendly, you should always work with green-certified partners as well. This is because when it comes to employee health, you shouldn’t take any chances. Any pollutants or emissions by toxic cleaners can leave employees sick and non-productive. Long and daily exposure to these chemicals may create chronic problems as well.

It’s important to use pH neutral and balanced products that are organic and non-toxic. This is so that when employees and prospective clients are using the elevator, they don’t smell anything funny. An elevator is a private space which is occupied by multiple people. The slightest of smells will carry on throughout the lift and make it a terrible experience for the occupants. Cleaning the foundation and shaft regularly is recommended, so that the experience isn’t a negative one.

Polish and sparkle
You can’t just clean the shaft and not focus on polishing the blemishes off. Grime and dirt can stay hidden for long periods of time, leading to a shabby appearance over time. Hiring a commercial cleaning company can take care of those minor details.

These hidden scratches and dirt marks can remain hidden for weeks, until someone points it out. That’s why it’s important to use chemical-free cleaners to polish and sparkle the elevator. That’s the best approach when trying to clean the elevator from any hidden dirt, grime and toxic components.

Vacuuming and cleaning
When it comes to carpeting, it’s the last thing on your cleaning list. Don’t forget to get a powerful cleaner to take care of the dirt and grime that might settle on the carpeting. You don’t want people to carry forward these dirt particles into the office space after they’ve been brought in from the outside.

That’s why vacuuming is a crucial element to any cleaning process in a commercial elevator. It’s also important to remember that you need to maintain a daily schedule of cleaning the elevators.
