Summer Facility Care: Pollen, HVAC Dust, and Patio-Season Traffic

The soil profile flips in summer. Less grit, more fine airborne dust, more moisture, and considerably more organic waste sitting in warm rooms.

What to add between May and September

• Increase high dusting frequency — HVAC cycles move pollen and fines constantly
• Waste room deodorizing and more frequent bin washing
• Patio, terrace, and outdoor seating sweeps and spot pressure work
• Entrance glass twice weekly; summer shows every handprint
• Elevator cab and stair rail attention as foot traffic patterns spread out

None of this requires more nights per week. It requires reallocating hours from low-visibility winter tasks into summer's real problem areas.
