Guide To Office Cleaning & Maintenance
When work is about deadlines, phone calls, meetings, and completing projects successfully, it’s easy to forget about office cleaning. In the meantime, employees are often faced with dirty bathrooms and unsanitary conditions which spread germs around.
A clean workspace not only helps your office employees to stay healthier, it also improves their general mood. A clean office is a happy office because employees feel more comfortable in the environment and that their employer cares about their well-being.
An Inviting Entryway & Waiting Area
First impressions are everything when it comes to owning or running a business. What clients, colleagues, and employees see as they enter your building speaks volumes about the reliability of your service.
The entryway and waiting areas of an office are important to clean. Keep first impressions high by:
- Cleaning and polishing floors
- Cleaning wall and floor trim
- Vacuuming and shampooing carpets or mats
- Cleaning walls
- Cleaning hardware, doors, and signs
- Cleaning furniture
- Cleaning light fixtures
- Cleaning glass
Fresh Carpets & Floors
There is nothing grosser than a filthy floor. This is one area that you don’t want to neglect.
A lot of office managers or owners hire janitorial service to keep the floors clean on a daily basis. Some also hire day porter service to keep it clean if the office experiences a lot of heavy use during the day. This is a great option during our New Jersey winters as ice, snow, and grime gets tracked in throughout the day.
Sparkling & Sanitized Bathrooms
Your office bathrooms need to be sanitized regularly. This is the prime source of viruses, germs, and other environmental pathogens.
Every surface of the bathroom should be sanitized with the proper cleaning products by your janitorial service. They should also not use the same cleaning cloths on the toilet as other surfaces or the room will get cross contaminated. A clean and healthy bathroom helps to keep your employees and clients healthy. Plus, it enhances the professional reputation of your offices. If your cleaning staff or janitorial service is not doing a proper job to sanitize the bathrooms, hire someone who will.
Clean, Fresh Upholstery
The upholstery of chairs and sofas in your office should be cleaned as needed. Make sure to remove stains as quickly as possible so they don’t set in. The upholstery should always look fresh and clean if you want to make a good impression on visitors.
Customizing Your Office Cleaning Plan
An office cleaning plan will be different than a cleaning plan for another type of commercial building. However, there will be many similarities. What is important is to customize the cleaning plan based on the particular needs of your office.
If your offices are large enough and used enough, it may be best to clean daily in order to keep up with everything. Some smaller offices will only need a once a week cleaning. Just remember that the longer you wait between cleanings, the longer it will take to get the job done.
A regular commercial janitorial service can keep up with everything for you. Just be sure to choose wisely because not all cleaning services are reliable. Your office cleaning company should be flexible enough to tailor their service to your unique needs. Call our team at All Custodian Services today!
