Maintaining a clean, healthy and safe workplace is essential all year round. However, winter introduces unique challenges that can affect hygiene levels, the wellbeing of your staff and the overall appearance of your facilities.
At Maids Commercial Services, we support organisations across London in adapting to these shifts with reliable, sustainable and high-quality cleaning solutions.
From illnesses that spread like wildfire in winter, to damp conditions in autumn and to thousands of tourists passing through in summer, every season requires a tailored approach to cleaning.
As a London-based commercial cleaning company, we work with businesses of every size, from small offices to large multi-site estates. Our focus is on delivering consistent standards, personal service and environmentally responsible cleaning that strengthens workplace hygiene through every season.
Winter: Managing the Spread of Illnesses
Winter often brings a rise in cold and flu cases, which can spread quickly in shared workspaces. Although Covid isn’t mentioned as often now, it’s also still a consideration.
Surfaces which are touched often, like desks or door handles, need to be properly disinfected on a regular basis. Condensation and damp brought on by cold weather can also contribute to the growth of mould, particularly in older buildings or poorly ventilated areas.
Our teams are trained to identify any issues with hygiene early, ensuring your facilities undergo deep cleaning, regular sanitisation and effective moisture management.
Using eco-friendly cleaning products with highly effective antibacterial properties, we help reduce illness-related absences while maintaining a fresh, clean environment.
Spring: Reducing Allergic Reactions and Refreshing Workspaces
Spring is often associated with renewal, but it also brings an increase in pollen, dust and airborne allergens that can affect the comfort of your staff. Workplaces with large windows, outdoor access points or green surroundings can experience higher pollen accumulation, especially on desks, floors and ventilation systems.
This is a key time for detailed cleaning, from thorough removing dust to carpet extraction and deep cleaning of upholstery. We also prioritise eco-conscious methods, using energy-efficient equipment and environmentally responsible cleaning agents that lift allergens without releasing harsh chemicals into the air.
Summer: Managing the Bust Season and Controlling Odours
London tends to be highly busy in summer, especially in buildings with open receptions, shared communal areas and hospitality spaces. Warm weather can lead to quicker odour build-up in busy washrooms and kitchens, and open windows can allow dust and debris to enter more easily.
Our cleaners will ensure your workplace remains fresh and hygienic throughout the day. We support our clients with additional washroom servicing, responsive cleaning for busy areas and regular waste removal, all carried out with sustainability in mind.
By using low-emission vehicles, energy-efficient machinery and environmentally safe products, we ensure facilities remain clean while keeping environmental impact low.
Autumn: Combating Wet Weather and Debris
Autumn brings falling leaves, mud and increased rainfall that can quickly track into workplaces. Entrances, stairwells and communal corridors often require heightened attention to prevent slip hazards and maintain a professional appearance. Moisture can also contribute to carpet staining or unpleasant odours if not addressed promptly.
We work closely with facilities managers and property teams to develop tailored autumn cleaning schedules. This often includes additional floor maintenance, enhanced entrance mat cleaning and timely response to wet weather challenges. For multi-building estates, our coordinated approach ensures standards remain consistent across every site.
Sustainability in Every Season
Sustainability is at the core of how we operate, regardless of the time of year. Our team always uses eco-friendly cleaning products and energy-efficient equipment to reduce our impact on the environment.
Every cleaner is trained in responsible waste management, safe use of environmentally conscious agents and effective conservation of water and energy. As seasonal challenges arise, we ensure solutions remain both effective and environmentally responsible.
This approach aligns with our ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification and supports organisations looking to meet their own sustainability and ESG commitments.
Upholding Quality and Safety Standards
The worst of winter can put pressure on cleaning routines, which is why strong quality and compliance frameworks are essential.
Maids Commercial Services operates to ISO 9001 Quality Management, ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 45001 Health and Safety standards, along with SafeContractor accreditation. These certifications ensure every aspect of our work meets rigorous expectations for safety, consistency and service delivery.
Our trained, DBS-checked professionals work with care and attention, adapting their routines as seasonal demands shift. Whether servicing coworking floors, medical environments or multi-site estates, our team maintains the reliable standards our clients depend on.
A People-First Approach to Workplace Hygiene
Behind every clean workspace is a committed team. Our staff take pride in delivering a service built on integrity and clear communication. Seasonal challenges require responsiveness and problem-solving, and our team members are trained to anticipate issues, adapt quickly and uphold high-quality results at all times.
Keep Your Workplace Clean Through Every Season
