Chinese New Year: Bring in The Feel Good Factor

Chinese New Year is one of the festivals that meant to be occasions when people around the world can celebrate. If you wish to have the best entrance to the new year, then there are a couple of things you should do. One of the most priorities you have to focus on when it comes to bringing the “feel good” factor for this festive season into your life is to be organized and clean.

Chinese people believe that cleaning up your home will bring you and your family more joy and wealth, but it must be done before the Chinese New Year and not on the first and second day. Chinese people think that any sweeping done during the first two days of Chinese New Year may sweep your luck away (Tara Parker-Pope, 2009). Therefore, your cleaning activities should begin 2 to 4 weeks before the Chinese New Year date and not within the first few days of the Chinese New Year.

Spring Cleaning

Traditionally, the house is swept, cleaned, and decorated for optimal feng shui. The deep cleaning that takes place before the Chinese New Year is usually the most thorough of the entire year. During this time, many people will clean out those old drawers, throw out dead plants, and tidy up all that clutter to make room for better things to come (Mandy Lim Beiter, 2020). Apart from the cleaning, decorations add a festive flair not only to homes but businesses and government buildings as well.

Ornate red banners adorned with golden Chinese calligraphy, known as chūnlián, are hung around the house to usher in prosperity in the new year. Although cleaning your home and office can be time-consuming, it will all be worth it when you can clear all the clutter from your sight. The benefit of cleaning your place for the Chinese New Year is not only to bring great fortune into your life but also to bonding with your family while doing it together.

Your home and office attracts a lot of energy and having a dirty place can bring some negativity into your life. When there is no order in your home and office, your life will have no order too. You must know that cleaning only before Chinese New Year won’t cut it, as the positive energy will stop coming your way when you let go of your place’s cleanliness. Consistency is key. Keep maintaining your premise even after the new year has come along.

After your building is tidy and clean, be sure to decorate your place to attract positivity and luck into your life. Having auspicious pictures or words cut on a red paper on your windows can express good wishes which you want to come true for the future. If you are the owner of the company, office cleaning may bring you good luck and better staff morale in 2020. So, why wait any longer to implement the advice above into your life for the new year?

You will certainly not regret your decision to make your house and office more clean and organized, as it will make every part of your life more zen and relaxed. Cleaning your place after you have de-cluttered it can be a real challenge and will use more than half of your energy. Have you ever thought of outsourcing cleaners for your Chinese New Year cleaning or Spring cleaning?

Atalian have experienced professional cleaners who are well-trained in deep cleaning. They can perform the home or office cleaning tasks well without taking up too much of your time.

Increasing Office Security and Preventing Theft

The holiday season is the peak time for travelling and entertainment. Unfortunately, it is also often the peak season for criminals. Whether you own a private business, a residential complex, or a house, there is a higher risk of unlawful entry onto your property during the holiday season. Criminals have a way of gaining access via the most unexpected places, so the less opportunity you provide for entry, the better. Your security company needs to do an updated security audit to help you identify weaknesses in your physical surroundings.

Criminals will look in windows and use binoculars to discover which residences provide them with the best opportunity to steal expensive assets. Static security guards stop these wrongdoers before they have the chance to act. If your business uses an access control system, this part is simple. You can set access permissions only to allow authorized visitors into certain parts of the building.

It would be best if you prevented unnecessary entry into the other storage areas or offices that contain confidential information. You can easily add and remove users to your access control system through central management software. The best thing is that most of the modern access control systems have an online dashboard. So, you can access from anywhere, even your smartphone, allowing you to make changes immediately no matter where you are.

</p align=”justify”>Some companies choose to have holiday parties to thank employees for their hard work over the course of the year and connect with clients. Make sure an angry ex-employee or other violent person does not show up intent on harming others. Companies and organizations should work with professional security firms that hire officers who possess previous experience in military operations, government security, and law enforcement on all levels.

By doing so, holiday parties can be secured by experienced and well-trained security officers. The holiday season is the most crucial season for retailers. Crowd control and holiday crowds are some of the biggest concerns retailers have regarding potential violence. Rather than rely on store employees who often have little if any knowledge of how to handle these situations, companies turn to a professional security company.

Atalian have security guards who possess training in crowd control, patrols and surveillance, bag searches, first aid/CPR, and much more.

Turn Down Infestation

Environmental hygiene is the first step towards ensuring that infestation from outside your home doesn’t make its way back into your territory.

• Use fly screens to stop pests entering the house and seal holes around pipes.
• Make sure that the community rubbish tip is operated correctly with the rubbish being buried regularly.
• Make sure that all septic tanks and leach drains are well sealed.
• Keep all the benches, cupboards, garden areas, and floors clean and free of food scraps.

There is little point in having a program to control domestic pests if the relevant hygiene factors are not addressed as well. The pests will soon return if proper hygiene is not maintained. So, while you welcome your guests this Chinese New Year, let’s make sure you rid your home of the unwelcome guests-pests so that you could enjoy a stress-free and safe celebration!

If you’re the owner of a hotel or restaurant, you’re probably gearing up for the crowds this festive season. The presence of pests can be a big turnoff for your guests or customers. Guests, staff, and visitors need to be protected from the health and safety risks that come with pests. Hotels and commercial kitchens need to protect the hard-earned reputation of their brand and positive customer experience.

While striving to help keep pests out of your guests’ rooms or restaurants is undoubtedly paramount, treating your entire property for pests is also critical. You don’t want a rodent scurrying through the lobby when guests check-in, or for guests to spy flies in the restaurant or cockroaches in the hallways. Any pest problems encountered during their visit will likely be recounted in detail by your guests in conversation or online.

Atalian expertise provides industry-leading solutions for the critical areas in your hotel and restaurant to prevent and control pest infestations.

Preventive Maintenance

The number one reason for unscheduled downtime is ageing equipment. Statistics show that a business can save up to 18% by investing in preventative maintenance. The whole point of preventative maintenance is to perform it before the asset fails. If you don’t do it routinely and on time, it won’t be preventive in nature. It will, instead, transform into corrective, or reactive maintenance.

Keeping your lights, elevator, escalator, or moving walk functioning at its peak, especially during the busy season, requires regular maintenance and occasional repairs. Our team of experts focuses on helping you create a safe, functional, and supportive environment for your staff and customers. No matter the type of building, Atalian has a service solution adapted to your needs, ensuring your facilities’ optimal performance at all times. Let us handle all the cleaning, security, pest control, and maintenance needs of yours, both the office and homes. Contact us today!
