Maybe its time to do a bit of maintenance to make sure the workspace isn’t falling into disrepair? When you leave these maintenance jobs for too long, they can often become a bigger and more expensive problem to fix so it’s best to stay on top of your office upkeep now. So here’s a list of the best ways to put your mind at ease.
Indoors Maintenance
Squeaky Doors & Chairs
When you’re in a quiet office, nothing is more distracting than a chair that lets out a high pitched squeak every time one of your colleagues decides to slightly shift their weight or a door whose hinges are in some serious need of lubrication.
Oil Up The Locks
After not being used for long periods of time, locks on doors often become stiff and difficult to use. This is easily solved by spraying a bit of lubricant into the lock and putting your key in and out a few times, wiping any grime or dirt off each time.
Clean The Window Tracks
Just like your locks, windows can become jammed and very difficult to open when left shut and unused for a long time. Cleaning the tracks and applying lubricant will help to ensure that your window maintains its functionality, something that’s more important than ever since people will expect their place of work to maintain a fresh and hygienic cycle of fresh air.
Stainless Steel
For any kitchenware, chairs, tables and other items made of stainless steel, INOX-MX3 should be used for maintenance. This will provide a thorough clean, as well as a smooth and shiny finish and what’s even better is that it’ll also prevent corrosion from occurring.
Dust Wooden Furniture
Like we said, more than ever, your employees will expect a clean office and workspace so you definitely can’t have surfaces layered with dust. Dust off your wooden furniture and surfaces, then polish them with a cloth and INOX-MX3, which is anti-static and helps to prevent dust from gathering on the surfaces again.
Outdoors Maintenance
Garage Door Maintenance
If your office has a garage or roller door, perhaps for a car park or storage area, then you probably get a professional out periodically to do a service. While this service is necessary, if you apply INOX-MX5 to your garage door tracks, hinges and pivoting points, this will help to extend the time between services, saving you time and money.
Gate Maintenance
If you have an industrial gate outside your office then now’s the time to lubricate the hinges and locks to ensure that it’s still in working order after going such a long time not being used and being exposed to potentially harsh climates.
