We know how difficult it can be to maintain cleanliness in the workplace, when working to a demanding schedule. A planned cleaning schedule ensures that every nook and cranny is covered. Property scheduling means an efficient and effective clean. What is the secret that we use to create and implement a cleaning schedule?
Before you can create an effective cleaning schedule for your office, you need to assess the space you are working with. When you assess the office, you can determine if you need regular cleaning, or once-off deep cleaning. Focus on:
Once you have identified the above, you can focus on your cleaning needs. This involves defining cleaning tasks, focusing on ensuring all areas of the office are cleaned and sanitised. We recommend creating a cleaning schedule for each separate area of the office, focusing on reception, workdesks, meeting rooms, wash rooms, shared kitchens, and break rooms.
It's important to remember that while certain areas need daily cleaning, some areas can be cleaned weekly, depending on the size of your office and number of employees. High traffic areas and high touch surfaces should be cleaned daily, improving the overall cleanliness and hygiene in your office space.
The cleaning schedule you create should easily fit into your existing routine. Focus on creating a realistic plan that is broken into manageable tasks, assigning certain tasks on different days and at different times to reduce disruption in the workplace, while ensuring all areas are adequately cleaned and healthy.
Office cleaning is not something that can be completed by one person, you are going to need a dedicated team. Responsibilities should be delegated throughout the team, not only relying on one person. Ensure you clearly indicate who is responsible for what tasks on which days. You can outsource your office cleaning to a professional company that will cover all the cleaning tasks, enabling your team to focus on their duties.
We recommend regularly reviewing your cleaning schedule, ensuring it is working effectively and the workspace is clean and healthy. Encourage your cleaning staff to provide feedback and adjust your schedule as needed.
Creating a cleaning schedule is a small step in the right direction. When your office is clean and well-maintained it boosts employee morale and productivity, making a great impression on any office visitors.
