By now you have realised the importance of office cleaning, keeping your staff happy, healthy, and productive. You may be wondering how our cleaners work in open plan office layouts, especially offices that are staffed throughout the day and night, such as call centres, and other office environments.
Office cleaning generally takes place during the day and we understand this can be disruptive to your team, which is why we offer out of hours cleaning services. As a professional company we understand the challenges of an open plan office layout and have developed working practices to get the cleaning done, even during busy times.
Our cleaning services are completely flexible and we will work around your office activity. There are going to be times where your office is generally quieter and there are less staff members present, such as during lunch breaks. There are also times where staff may be concentrated in one area. We use these opportunities to get your office clean.
If staff are in one area, such as a conference room for a meeting, we can take that opportunity to get the rest of the office clean. On the next cleaning cycle, the conference room will be our priority, as our team couldn’t get to it the last cleaning cycle.
With zone based cleaning approaches, we can ensure all areas of your office is cleaned at different times, ensuring other areas remain accessible to the team.
We know you are probably concerned that when our cleaners start up the vacuum cleaner, your team will be distracted. What if one is busy with a client on the phone? The good news is that our high quality vacuum cleaners tend to be quieter than home and older vacuums, though they can be slightly distracting.
Our cleaners receive rigorous and ongoing training on working in all types of office environments, including open plan layouts. They will not use the vacuum during busy times, they will use busy times to mop floors, wipe down surfaces, and sanitise the bathrooms. They will vacuum when the office is quieter, warning your team of the task they are about to carry out, so your team know not to take any important calls, or move to another area. Vacuum cleaning only takes minutes, enabling your team to be back on track at no time at all.
Cleaning can cause some hazards, such as cables from cleaning equipment, cleaning product vapours, and slippery floors. Our cleaners have strict regulations that they must follow, such as using quick drying cleaning products and marking hazardous areas with signage, ensuring your team are aware of the dangers if they are walking through or using the area that has just been cleaned.
In order to maintain the health and safety of your team and visitors, we use environmentally friendly and low-odour cleaning products that are natural, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or respiratory issues caused during the cleaning process.
Every office is unique, not only in layout, but the size, the number of employees you have, and the type of business you run. We put an effective cleaning schedule in place based on your offices cleaning needs, providing our cleaners with a cleaning check list, ensuring that we plan the cleaning of your open plan office with great care, using the right cleaning techniques and equipment to manage any challenges.
At Sloane Cleaning, we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to your office cleaning needs, providing you with a safe, clean, and hygienic office space to boost productivity, ensuring your team remain happy and healthy.
