ABCO Shares 4 Tips To Prepare A Facility For Holiday Crowds

As the holiday season approaches, businesses are gearing up for a surge in foot traffic. ABCO Cleaning Products, a provider of sustainable cleaning tools, shares key tips to help facilities prepare for the influx of customers.

“As you prepare for the holiday rush, prioritizing both cleanliness and sustainability is crucial,” ABCO Cleaning Products Vice President of Operations Carlos Albir, Jr., said. “Adopting environmentally friendly cleaning practices helps create an environment that benefits both customers and the planet.”

Consider the following: 

1. Use sustainable cleaning tools. With 65% of consumers preferring to buy from sustainable companies, adopting environmentally friendly practices is important. Consider using cleaning tools certified by a reputable third-party organization, like Green Seal®. This not only helps avoid greenwashing tactics but also demonstrates a commitment to sustainability.
2. Optimize waste reduction and recycling. More visitors mean more trash. Ensure waste and recycling bins are easily accessible and emptied regularly to prevent overflow. Implementing a waste management program can decrease a facility’s waste and carbon emissions, helping minimize a company’s environmental impact.
3. Increase cleaning frequency in high-traffic areas. During the holiday rush, high-traffic areas like entrances, restrooms and common spaces face more wear and tear. Increase the cleaning frequency in these zones to help keep a facility consistently clean.
4. Maintain a stock of essential cleaning supplies. Plan ahead for the busy season by stocking up on essential cleaning supplies. This helps ensure a facility is well-prepared for quick clean-ups, keeping the facility ready for anything the holiday crowds bring.
