Prepare Your Apartment Complex for Spring: Schedule Essential Cleaning Services Now

We’re already into February and as winter slowly gives way to spring, property managers need to start thinking about how to transition their apartment complex from the cold, wet season into the warmer months. The combination of snow, ice, slush, and mud can leave lasting messes both inside and outside your complex, and now is the time to schedule essential cleaning services to ensure your property is ready for the season ahead. At Buswell & Bennett, we offer a wide range of professional cleaning services designed to address the challenges that winter leaves behind.

Winter Slush and Mud Cleanup

Winter storms and the thawing of snow often leave behind a mess of slush, mud, and grime in high-traffic areas. Common areas with high traffic bring this muck indoors, tracking it everywhere such as lobbies, hallways, and stairwells. Not only does this create an unsightly appearance, but it can also lead to slippery surfaces and safety hazards for residents. 

Schedule a deep clean of your carpets and floors now to help restore the cleanliness and safety of your common areas. Outdoor hallways and stairways can use some extra love as well.

Parking Garages Need Attention, Too

Parking garages are another area that often takes a beating during the winter. Salt, exhaust, and slush accumulate on the floors, creating both a mess and potential safety risks. Over time, the build-up of salt and moisture can also damage your garage floors. The good news is that Buswell & Bennett offers professional garage pressure washing to remove these tough contaminants. Pressure washing helps to eliminate dirt, oil stains, and grime, leaving your garage looking clean and free of the corrosive effects that winter weather brings.

Schedule garage pressure washing early in spring, you’ll prevent long-term damage and ensure a more inviting and safer environment for your tenants.

Outdoor Areas Policing and Cleaning

Your apartment complex’s outdoor areas need attention after winter, too. Muddy paths, salt residue, trash and leaves may have accumulated in landscaping areas or on walkways. This debris can quickly diminish the curb appeal of your property,  make it hard for residents to navigate the property safely and enjoy the outdoors as spring approaches.

Schedule outdoor area policing and cleaning to address these concerns by attending to trash regularly, ensuring pet debris is handled, keeping walkways clean and safe, and notifying grounds personnel of larger issues. A regular pair of eyes on the outdoors also reduces the likelihood of graffiti, prevents playground, bench or picnic equipment damage and adds to the security of a complex. 

Don’t Forget About Germs and Bacteria

Winter months also bring an increase in illnesses, as more people are inside and germs are more likely to spread. High-touch areas like door handles, elevator buttons, railings, and common room surfaces can harbor harmful bacteria and viruses. 

Schedule a thorough sanitizing service for your common areas to help combat germs and keep your residents healthy. Electrostatic disinfection is one way to sanitize fast, easy and effectively.

Spring is Just Around the Corner

Now is the perfect time to get your apartment complex ready for the change of season. By scheduling cleaning services for carpets, floors, parking garages, outdoor areas, and high-touch surfaces, you’ll help restore cleanliness, safety, and appeal to your property.
