It’s that time of the year to start thinking about the winter and the things you need to do inside as a business owner or a homeowner to be fully prepared for the season. In part one of this series we talked about the things that you need to do to winterize the outside of your facility, home or business. This included the correct commercial degreaser products, outside inspections and other maintenance tips. Today we’re going to talk about the things that you need to do make sure the inside of your business is ready to take on the cold, wet weather. If you want the best commercial degreaser for winter then make sure to call Cox Industries and ask about Soybase Clean Original. Soybase Clean Original is an industrial degreaser specifically made to clean floors. It utilizes a special anti-slip technology that leaves behind a beautiful satin shine while keeping everyone walking upright and off their rear-ends.
Winterizing the Inside
The winter season brings with it a lot of wet weather. Because of this potential for nasty weather, we wanted to put together a checklist of things you’ll need to do to keep you, your employees and your property safe this season.
One of the best things you can do this season is put down a proper number of floor mats in high traffic zones, including the entryway. Floor mats do a lot of good in a lot of different ways. For starters, they act as a slip resistant barrier to a wet floor which makes it safer for everyone that has to walk in that area. Next, they act as a great way of keeping the outdoors contained inside. Mats do a great job of catching all the outdoor debris from spreading around inside which makes cleaning a little bit easier.
Make sure you’re keeping everything swept and dry. If wet feet, umbrellas, or other spills occur, make sure to mop them up and dry them properly. Slick surfaces are more common in winter than in the summer. This means more opportunities for people to slip and fall. So it is very important to try to maintain a dry floor as much as possible. Make sure to place the appropriate signage to let your employees know of slick conditions so they can be more careful.
You’ll also need to have your furnace system serviced including changing the filters and replacing the batteries in all the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure that all systems are operating correctly and check them frequently. Also, make sure all the vents have been cleaned properly and are free of debris. Make sure to inspect around all the windows and doors for air leaks. You can buy inexpensive weather stripping from any local hardware store as needed to fix smaller problems. Make sure all the outside vents have been closed to keep the cold air out of places that will affect your power bill.
