Tips for keeping the office clean between visits.

No matter how much relief you feel at knowing someone will be taking care of your office’s regular cleaning chores it doesn’t mean that you or your employees can let bad habits creep back into the workplace. Keeping your office looking good between cleans takes practice. The biggest trap is “leaving everything to the cleaners”. Don’t compromise quality over quantity. Take these next points into consideration to maximise the time the cleaners are onsite and to minimise time wasted doing simple duties in house that will save you money.

Come up with a schedule. So that your expectations and ours are in sync. Create a schedule of cleaning tasks to be performed on a daily, weekly, monthly and a as required basis. This way we can discuss the schedule when we come into quote. We may ask you to increase or decrease frequency or periodical cleaning, or simple add other items that might have been overlooked.

Avoid Crockery Mountains. It might be tempting to leave a week’s worth of coffee mugs in the sink, however your cleaner’s time and your money is much better used scrubbing, and disinfecting sinks and benches.

Introduce a clean desk Policy. Clutter makes it very difficult to clean. It’s
impossible to clean desks with paper work all over them, and the last thing you want is a cleaner moving that important paperwork or filing to clean the desk. Get organised and ask the staff to file paperwork away at the end of the day, and store important paperwork in intrays and to be filed trays. Keep stationary in containers or draws. This ensures that all you office furniture can be sufficiently cleaned for you start work the next day.

Utilise after hours services. We will be able to work more effectively with the
office free of staff. If you are worried about protecting valuable company information and property, think about installing a monitoring system such as CCTV. Or request security clearances for the employees entering your building.

Be Realistic. You may want your office sparkling clean from top to bottom but that might cost you more than you are willing to spend. Use us for the difficult, specialist, and time consuming tasks.
