Cleaning any type of space requires diligence, organisation and a good amount of teamwork across staff members. It’s critical to maintain accurate cleaning schedules and checklists to ensure staff follow procedures, complete a task on time and adhere to respective cleaning guidelines to remain compliant.
The importance of strong commercial cleaning
Commercial cleaning is about more than just appearing neat and tidy. It’s about ensuring the health and safety of visitors as well as making sure your business can remain compliant. An effective cleaning service reduces the spread of viruses and diseases by ensuring that staff are properly tending to areas that require sanitisation as often as needed. Some common deep cleaning tasks across different industries include:
In addition to regular cleaning and maintenance, commercial deep cleaning services can be scheduled several times throughout the year. The daily cleaning list will vary depending on compliance needs, traffic in the office and the type of work that is done there.
Why create a comprehensive cleaning schedule
A comprehensive cleaning schedule allows cleaning staff, employees and managerial staff to know what needs to be cleaned and how often each area needs attention. Having a set schedule helps maintain cleanliness regularly, preventing debris like dust, dirt and germs from building up on surfaces. Rather than waiting until an area is visibly in need of cleaning, an office cleaning schedule offers a plan of action to keep things hygienic, compliant and appealing.
Overseeing the cleaning processes of a large staff can be very difficult without a comprehensive cleaning schedule to keep workflows streamlined and effective. With a schedule, cleaning staff will know exactly what rooms need to be worked on without wasting time recleaning low maintenance areas or missing places where cleanliness is vital and more frequent. For example, a lobby may need to be cleaned at the end of every workday, while high-touch machinery needs to be disinfected and sanitised after every shift.
