When people think about a commercial cleaning service, everyone thinks about cleaning a surface and emptying the trashcan, few consider the odors that likely grow. Smells can be difficult to remove when there are so many people moving around an office, going to the bathroom, eating and drinking, spilling, or leaving trash. Because it’s difficult to figure out where the smells are coming from, it can be difficult to target the source. In addition to providing quality cleaning for your business, our team of experienced professionals eliminate odors as well. Today, we at American Hometown Services would like to share a few tips on targeting the source of the smell and help get rid of them quickly.

How to Get Smell Out of Community Refrigerator

A place where good-intentioned people bring their lunch but sometimes forget about it, is the community fridge. You could get a pretty nasty smell several people do that over time, this is especially true if products expired or go bad. Putting a sign on the fridge that if food isn’t removed by Friday, everything goes in the trash is always a good practice. Employees will make their adjustments and will likely remember their forgotten meals and/or leftovers. Wipe down with cleaner all the shelves to remove spills and condiment leaks once you have removed all the leftover food.

How Do You Clean Smelly Garbage Bin or Trash Can

When starting to find out the origin of a bad smell, trash cans are an obvious choice. Even after taking out the trash, it just may not seem to resolve the issue. Since things can spill and rot outside the bag, taking out the trash is not always enough according to an office cleaning company. You must remove the trash barrel and give it a good scrub with a good cleaner many times. Do not forget to give that a good scrub in case the odor is coming from there if you have a recycling bin as well.

How Do You Clean a Dirty Microwave & Kitchen Sink

The drain is a common dumping ground for old coffee, coffee grounds, old food, mold from their forgotten cups, and many other smelly items. If not washed down right away and begin to smell, this often will sit in the drain. Pouring a combination of water, baking soda, and vinegar down the drain letting it sit and bubble for a few minutes is one solution. This not only cleans the interior of the drain, but it will eliminate the sitting odors. People do not often cover their food and microwaves are used daily. All over the tops and walls of the interior of the microwave is covered in a mess. In addition to looking gross, it begins to develop seriously unattractive odors. In order to loosen the stains, one easy way to clean this is to take a cup, boil some water, and place it in the microwave.
