Office Cleaning Tips

Hiring a cleaning company helps your company for many reasons. The most important reason is the positive effect on the productivity of your employees. There are many things you can do to keep your office space clean. Here are some office cleaning tips that can help you and your cleaning crew.

1. Organized Desk: Ask all your employees to keep their desks organized and clutter free. Cleaning crews generally try not to touch or move papers around any office desk for many reasons. If your employees organize the desks at the end of the day, cleaning crews will have an easier time disinfecting them and dusting the computers, keyboards and telephones.
2. Have disinfectant wipe on each desk or cubicles: Many germs can be accumulated on your employee’s desks. Having a disinfectant wipes handy for them will make it easy for your employees and also cleaning crews to disinfect and wipe down all the desks without transferring germs.
3. Communication: The cleaning crew and the office manager need to communicate with each other. Make sure if something is wrong communicate it before it becomes a problem.
4. Checklist: Make sure to create a checklist together with your cleaning crew so that they are reminded of all the items needed to be cleaned. This will reduce complaints.

Here is a basic checklist of items your cleaning crew should be doing every service.

¨  Clean all doors and remove fingerprints

¨  Vacuum carpets thoroughly

¨  Sweep and mop floors

¨  Dust and disinfect all surface with appropriate cleaner

¨  Empty all trash receptacles and clean bins if necessary

¨  Disinfect and clean all toilets and urinals

¨  Clean and sinks and mirrors

¨  Mop and disinfect all bathrooms floors especially around the toilets and urinals

Make sure your cleaning crew is doing all the basic cleaning. If they are missing any items you should shop around for a new janitorial cleaning company. Call Austin Professional Cleaning Services for a specialized cleaning proposal and checklist that fits your needs.
