When facility leaders think about indoor air quality (IAQ), many immediately think about ventilation, filtration and HVAC systems. While those are all important, IAQ is influenced by more than what happens within the HVAC system.
A clean facility doesn’t happen by chance; it requires the right tools, trained staff and consistent procedures. However, even well-planned efforts can fall short if they’re not done correctly. Here are some of the most common cleaning mistakes and how to avoid them.
