If successfully carrying out a cleaning procedure was an Olympic sport, the staff and volunteers in Japan would win probably win gold. The Games have been taking place at a time where the host city is in a state of emergency.

It has raised further questions about whether the Olympics should have been cancelled again. Organisers have defended their decision to go ahead despite the number of Covid cases rising. They argued that Tokyo 2020 should be a “celebration of hope”.

Nowadays, you can specifically book Covid cleaning services from cleaning companies such as CBS Cleaning. The pandemic is not officially over, so the need for them is greater than ever.

The number of people vaccinated is going up, but so are the number of positive tests. It means there’s still a lot of work to do to make the virus something we can learn to live with. Currently and even longer-term, Covid cleaning services will be one of the best lines of defence against outbreaks. Especially as more of us are back in the office and in the classroom.

Several property experts will argue that your driveway, assuming you have one, is the most important part or feature of your house. Some would even go as far as saying it is a focal point as it’s the first thing you see from the street.

Perhaps it says a lot about the character of your house too. Whether it’s a gravel driveway, tarmac driveway or a concrete driveway, you need to look after it. Here are the reasons why:

In an ideal world, employers will have carried out a deep office clean ahead of their staff returning from July 19th when nearly all restrictions are due to ease. Chancellor Rishi Sunak says he wants workers back in the office from the 19th.

It would make perfect sense to do so, especially if an office is closed. From a safety perspective, cleaners feel more comfortable knowing they won’t risk coming into contact with anyone.

Carpet cleaning is a very important job and should be booked in at least once a year. After all, professional carpet cleaning is the surefire way to remove stains, bacteria and viruses.

If your carpet is off-colour or stained, a clean will restore it to its former glory and will be money well spent. But can demand for this service really take off this year? 

England, Italy and Belgium have been some of the standout performers of Euro 2020 and in between games it’s nice to relax while sat on your garden furniture. 

And you might even fancy watching the matches outside if the weather allows and your extension lead stretches far enough. 

An end of tenancy clean should be on your moving out checklist and landlords and letting agents will specifically ask you to arrange one.

The stamp duty holiday means that people are buying houses while they can so that they can benefit from the tax break. But before they leave their existing house, they have to restore it to the same condition that it was when they moved in.

A bin is designed for putting waste in and every week we fill them up with green waste, food, recyclables and black bags for collection.

But if a bin is not cleaned properly or rubbish is not disposed of correctly, it can become a hotbed for flies and maggots and potentially a health hazard.

The pandemic is easing, but there are still uncertainties about when we will fully return ‘to normal’. But one thing that is certain is that business owners and landlords will need to pay more attention to space management.

They have to ask themselves some important questions regarding how they will operate going forward and adapt for the future.
