KEEP YOUR CHURCH CLEAN THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
The holidays also coincide with cold and flu season, so maintaining church cleanliness is an important part of keeping parishioners healthy. Here’s what you can do to keep your church beautiful, clean, and safe at the holidays.
USE MATS AND VACUUM REGULARLY
Dirt may build up in high-traffic areas of your building. Keep your floors clean by vacuuming regularly. Pay close attention to the floors in entryways and in the kitchen and dining areas, where food stains may become a problem.
TAKE CARE OF POINSETTIAS
Dried-out poinsettia leaves can drop to the floor and spread tiny leaf parts throughout the building. Prevent this from happening by keeping your poinsettias properly watered and by vacuuming around and under poinsettias periodically throughout the holiday season.
SANITIZE SURFACES
Germs are prevalent on surfaces throughout the cold and flu season. Sanitizing surfaces in germ hot spots can help prevent the spread of the flu.
Work with your cleaning company to establish regular routines for sanitizing surfaces in the church.
SCHEDULE CLEANINGS BEFORE (AND AFTER) HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES
Big holiday events may get your church extra dirty, especially if attendance is up and food is involved. Schedule cleanings before these events to ensure that your church looks its best when the events take place.
