Office cleaning is important in maintaining a healthy work environment. A cleaner office means fewer distractions for employees, which means more productivity. Therefore, office cleaning services cover a wide range of tasks. Each task requires diligence and needs completion regularly. 

Keeping track of your cleaning requirements

There will be several tasks on your office cleaning checklist. One of the best ways to ensure that everything is done is to schedule them daily, weekly, and monthly. You may also seek professional services for guidance. 

Daily 

These daily tasks involve most of the equipment used by employees inside the office. 

• Disposing of the trash
  

  Cleaning staff are responsible for keeping the office clean and tidy, ensuring that everyone has a safe and hygienic work environment. Check the pantry and restrooms every day to ensure that trash is disposed of and garbage bags are replaced.

• Vacuuming
  

  Vacuuming is a key aspect of office cleaning. It’s important to vacuum the carpeting regularly to get rid of dirt, hair, food debris, and other contaminants. Vacuuming can also help prevent static electricity in carpets and rugs.

• Sanitising Surfaces
  

  Sanitising helps remove the germs and bacteria that are present on the surface. The most common sanitising method is using disinfectant wipes. These are pre-moistened with a solution that kills all microorganisms on the surface. 

Weekly

Here are weekly tasks that you can do on weekends. There should be few people in offices to avoid work distractions. 

• Cleaning the refrigerator
  

  Sometimes, employees bring food to the office; therefore, it’s not uncommon to have a fridge full of food nearing its expiration date. Therefore, it’s essential to go through the refrigerator and remove all expired food before it goes bad, or worse, contaminates other food.

• Cleaning glass windows
  

  Cleaning glass windows can be difficult, but it will be much easier with the right tools. It would help if you used a window cleaner and a squeegee to remove any dirt or stains on the windows. The best way is to start cleaning from top to bottom and then left to right, so you don’t leave streaks on the window.

• Organising desks
  

  Organising a desk is a great way to boost productivity. It can also be a great way to feel better about the work environment. First, throw away any accumulated trash, and then organise what was left. Put everything in its place and try not to leave anything out of place.

Monthly

Here are tasks that you can complete monthly and require professional services due to the weight and scale of office equipment involved. 

• Cleaning the upholstery
  

  Cleaning the upholstery is a difficult task and requires time and effort. A vacuum cleaner is not enough for this job. You need to use special tools and chemicals to get rid of dirt, dust, and stains from the fabric.

  There are several types of upholstery fabric like linen, silk, wool, polyester, cotton etc. The kind of fabric you have will determine the cleaning agents you should use for your upholstery.

• Cleaning the carpet
  

  You can use vacuum cleaners for this task, but they are not enough. The best way of cleaning your carpets is by using professional cleaners that have all the necessary equipment and skills needed for this job.

• Washing the façade
  

  The facade of a building is the outermost and most visible part. There are different ways to wash a facade, depending on the type of building. A pressure or power washer is commonly used for commercial and high-rise buildings.

• Floor polishing
  

  The process of floor polishing starts with vacuuming and sweeping the floor. This gets rid of any debris on the ground and makes it easier for the polish to stick to the floor. Next, you apply a small amount of polish or wax to a damp mop or cloth and start buffing it into the floor in circular motions. This will leave your floors shiny, clean, and polished.

Conclusion

These are some tasks that you can list to help you organise office cleaning. Keeping a checklist will save time and costs and cover all tasks.
