If you are looking for office cleaning services then you also are looking for value for money. Those who provide commercial cleaning services will often also provide a checklist of jobs they will do in your office if you are to employ them.
However, if they do not then its a good idea to produce one yourself. By doing so you can firstly make sure that the company are tackling the jobs you specify as being important and secondly you can easily check to see that these jobs are being done and being done to your standards.
The following is a checklist you can use to assign tasks to your cleaning company.
Reception Area
First off is the reception area or entry hall to your office. A very important area as its the first part of your office that your customers see. So the main cleaning tasks here are as follows:
- all carpets thoroughly vacuumed
- glass doors free from finger prints and tables/reception desk and sills dust free
- phones and computers regularly wiped clean
- garbage bins emptied every day
- any wall hangings dusted at least weekly
- magazines in reception area organized nicely
Washrooms
Very much a necessity – washrooms and toilets need to be kept thoroughly sanitized and obviously need to be cleaned every day of the working week.
- toilets, sinks and fixtures and fitting all cleaned and sanitized
- sink tops cleaned and sanitized
- mirrors cleaned and polished
- garbage emptied
- floors mopped
- soap and towel dispensers wiped and refilled
Kitchen Area
Even if the kitchen area is not used for food prep its very important to keep it clean and not just because many employees will choose to take their brake there.
- microwave ovens cleaned and sanitized inside and out
- oven wiped down and the interior cleaned at least one time every couple of weeks
- refrigerator wiped and interior cleaned at least one time a week
- sinks and sink area washed and sanitized
- table tops wiped down every day
- chairs and benches cleaned when needed
- garbage emptied
Office Area and Cubicles
Important for individual employees to have a nicely organized and clean working area.
- phones and computers regularly wiped down and cleaned
- desk tops cleaned and polished
- floors vacuumed daily
- filing cabinets dusted
- sills dusted
- garbage emptied
- light fixtures dusted
Even if you do not use a professional office cleaning service its really important to get these jobs done very regularly to keep the office looking clean and professional. Do not make the mistake of presuming that everything will get done by your employees alone, unless you have some form of checklist to make things clear to everyone.
