The holiday break creates an ideal situation to improve the condition of your commercial spaces. With fewer employees on-site and reduced activity in many areas, commercial cleaning teams can intervene faster and more efficiently without disrupting operations.
Key takeaway: temporarily empty spaces allow for deeper, safer, and more thorough cleaning.
Fewer employees on site = more areas available
Administrative offices, meeting rooms, management spaces, and technical zones become accessible during the holidays. These areas, which are harder to clean during peak activity, can finally be treated in depth. Discover the industries served by MOM Cleaning.
Natural reduction in foot traffic
When employees are on holiday, some sections of the building see usage drop by up to 70%, according to Statistics Canada. It’s the perfect moment to restore surfaces, floors, and common areas.
Improved productivity after the holidays
Clean and refreshed facilities support employee well-being from day one upon their return. A high-quality work environment improves both the employee experience and the customer experience.
Leverage employee holidays for deep commercial cleaning
Offices and administrative areas
With temporarily unoccupied offices, teams can perform detailed cleaning including surface disinfection, screen cleaning, keyboard maintenance, full dusting, and window washing.
Floors, carpets, and heavy-duty surfaces
More complex tasks such as stripping, waxing, carpet extraction, or polishing are much easier to perform when staff are away. These treatments extend the lifespan of your materials and immediately enhance the appearance of your facilities.
Rarely accessible zones
IT rooms, archive areas, and semi-public sectors are often cluttered or hard to access. The holidays make it possible to work in these spaces without disturbing technical teams.
During the holidays: maintain cleanliness in high-traffic zones
Ongoing maintenance
Clients bring in snow, salt, and moisture under their boots. Continuous cleaning helps reduce slip risks and keeps spaces welcoming.
Waste and decoration management
The holidays generate a large amount of packaging, paper, and decorations. Regular upkeep prevents clutter and preserves a professional image.
Strategic disinfection
High-touch surfaces such as handles and counters require regular disinfection. The Government of Canada reminds businesses of key hygiene practices to help reduce health risks.
After the holidays: restore the integrity of commercial spaces
Cleaning post-holiday residues
Decorations, snow, salt, and high traffic leave traces behind. A thorough cleaning brings your spaces back to optimal condition for the new year.
Floor and carpet treatments
Floors endure heavy wear during winter. Specialized interventions reinforce durability and refresh the overall look.
Planning the annual maintenance cycle
The post-holiday period is ideal for adjusting your maintenance plan and preventing unforeseen emergencies later in the year.
