Maintaining a clean and hygienic office is imperative to your staff and visitors alike. Though every London office is unique, which means a one-size-fits-all approach is not going to work. Studies have proven that employees working in a clean and well-maintained office are up to twelve percent more productive with a high job satisfaction, compared to those working in a dirty office environment.
Just like your business is unique, so are your cleaning needs. Whether you are a doctor, lawyer, or other professional service, understanding your office layout and space will help you create a custom cleaning plan that ensures the highest level of cleanliness and hygiene.
Cleaning plans involve a number of steps to create, taking all factors into consideration to ensure you have a clean and healthy workspace.
To start creating a cleaning plan, you will need to explore your office space and determine your cleaning needs. High traffic areas such as reception areas, entrances, and conference or meeting rooms will require daily attention, while storage areas may only need weekly cleaning. Each area of your office will have specific cleaning needs based on foot traffic and number of employees. Don't forget your wash rooms must be cleaned and sanitised multiple times a day, along with break rooms and communal kitchens, to ensure the highest level of cleanliness and hygiene.
With a clear understanding of your cleaning needs, you can now identify what cleaning products, techniques, and equipment you will need. This can be eco-friendly cleaning products that align with your green policy, to investing in efficient equipment that uses little power or water, while remaining effective.
Now that you know what areas need cleaning on what days, along with what products, techniques, and equipment will be used, you need to tailor your plan. This involves creating a cleaning schedule, focusing on high traffic areas, high touch areas, and weekly refreshers. Remember not every area will need daily cleaning, especially if you are a smaller office. Ensure you focus on what must be cleaned on what days, ensuring you stay a step ahead when it comes to your office cleanliness.
Just as you have to remain flexible and adaptive in your business dealings, you should do the same with your cleaning needs. As your business evolves, you will have to evaluate your customised cleaning plan by monitoring cleanliness levels, and gathering feedback from employees, helping you identify areas for improvement. Adjusting your schedule based on frequency or products can ensure your plan remains effective, leaving you with a sparkling and healthy work space.
When you create a custom cleaning plan for your London office, you will enjoy a clean and healthy workspace that appeals to your employees and visitors. This means understanding your business cleaning needs, choosing the right techniques, products, and equipment, while creating a plan that encourages a clean and healthy workspace at all times.
