The pandemic changed how industries sanitize their workspace. With an increased risk of contracting the virus, standard cleaning practices were restructured to ensure businesses followed CDC guidelines.These stricter guidelines for sanitizing, disinfecting, and general cleaning helped lead to safer work conditions, but it also created a need for more diligent sanitation workers, and in greater numbers.
Although the world has recovered significantly, the effects of the pandemic have not entirely dissipated. Many industries have continued implementing thorough cleaning regimens, which are much more detailed than before the pandemic. The need for more janitorial employees doing additional work has naturally raised the cost, and the same applies to commercial janitorial rates.
