Day Porters: The Unsung Heroes of Your Facility
Tired of sticky countertops, cluttered restrooms, and a less-than-impressive first impression? Concerned about the health and safety of your customers and employees this coming flu season? It’s time to consider a day porter.
What is a Day Porter ?
A day porter is a dedicated cleaning professional who maintains your facility’s cleanliness and safety throughout the business day. Unlike traditional janitorial services focused on after-hours cleaning, day porters are the frontline defense against dirt, germs, and negative perceptions.
Why Do You Need a Day Porter?
-
- Enhanced Image: A pristine facility reflects positively on your business, boosting employee morale and creating a welcoming atmosphere for clients and visitors.
- Improved Health and Safety: Regular sanitization of high-touch areas reduces the spread of germs, safeguarding the well-being of everyone in your building.
- Increased Productivity: A clean and organized workspace can enhance focus and efficiency.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your facility is consistently maintained provides a sense of comfort and security.
Day Porter Duties Include:
-
- Maintaining spotless lobbies and common areas
- Swiftly addressing spills and safety hazards
- Regularly sanitizing high-touch surfaces (door handles, restrooms, countertops)
- Restocking supplies and emptying trash
- Vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping
Your Peace of Mind Begins with Clean
The appearance of your facility affects all who enter. Studies prove that a clean, well-maintained environment improves both morale and productivity. Customers consistently say they think twice about returning to a facility where the restrooms are not clean and well maintained. Check out The Value of Clean for more information.
A day porter adds visibility to your cleaning efforts as most cleaning is performed after business hours. This visibility adds comfort and a sense of care and trust for your employees, customers, and visitors.
Light switches, door handles, faucets, drinking fountains, kitchen areas, copy rooms, restrooms, vending machines, and other common areas throughout your building are touched by many people, many times per day. A day porter can reduce the risk of germs being spread by performing multiple cleanings on these common touch points throughout the day.
Managing perception is critical! At a minimum consider having a cleaning professional come by your facility sometime during the day for an hour or two to wipe clean these touch points with an EPA approved disinfectant.
