The Most Overlooked Areas in Commercial Cleaning and Why They Matter

A workspace can look clean on the surface, but some of the most important areas for protecting employee health are the ones businesses often overlook. At Tidy Turtles Cleaning Company, we focus on the details that truly make a difference. Here are the top spots most cleaning routines miss, and how they impact your workplace.

High-Touch Surfaces

Door handles, light switches, printer buttons, and breakroom appliance handles collect germs fast. Ignoring them increases the spread of illness and leads to more sick days. Regular disinfection keeps your team healthier.

Air Vents & HVAC Covers

Dust and allergens build up quickly in vents. When these aren’t cleaned, the HVAC system recirculates dirty air, which affects breathing, comfort, and indoor air quality.

Under Furniture & Behind Equipment

Dust, crumbs, and debris under desks and behind large equipment can cause odors and attract pests. These hidden areas need consistent attention to maintain a clean environment.













Breakrooms & Kitchenettes

Microwave buttons, fridge handles, coffee makers, and sink fixtures are some of the germiest spots in the office. Thorough breakroom cleaning helps prevent cross-contamination.















Restroom Touchpoints

Areas like stall locks, faucet handles, dispenser buttons, and edges around toilets are often missed. Proper restroom sanitation protects both employees and guests.
















At Tidy Turtles Cleaning Company, we make sure these high-impact areas never get ignored. A healthier workplace starts with a cleaning team that pays attention to the details others forget.
