Preparing your office for a professional cleaning service ensures you get the best results. With a little planning and organisation, you can improve the quality of cleaning, while minimising disruptions.
The expert team of cleaners at Sloane Cleaning Services in London, have put together some tips to help you prepare your office for professional cleaning services:
Before you partner with any professional office cleaning service, you will want to communicate your needs and expectations. Provide any details on areas you feel require special attention, along with high traffic areas, and problem areas. This ensures your cleaners tailor their approach to align with your goals. Remember, when using Sloane Cleaning Services, we provide a free site survey, where you can discuss your needs, while we evaluate your workspace, high traffic areas, employee numbers, and more, ensuring your workspace is clean and healthy.
If you have noticed certain areas require special attention, such as windows, carpets, or communal kitchens, creating a list to share with your professional cleaners during the site visit ensures your needs are taken into consideration and covered.
Start by clearing your desk and encourage employees to do the same. This involves removing any personal items, along with important documents, and de-cluttering the area. This helps the cleaning team complete their tasks efficiently and effectively, while protecting your important items, eliminating the risk of accidental misplacement.
If you run a business that handles sensitive information, you will want to ensure it is protected during the cleaning process. Ensure any confidential information is safely locked away or place it in a no-access area that cleaners cannot access. Bear in mind that all the Sloane Cleaning Services team have been thoroughly vetted ensuring your privacy and confidentiality is maintained at all times.
This is an important step. Firstly you want to ensure your cleaners have access to all the areas that require cleaning. At the same time, if you have requested after-hours cleaning, such as first thing before you open the doors in the morning, or in the evening, once your team have gone home, you need to ensure you arrange access so our cleaners can do their jobs.
While we do our best, office cleaning can have some distractions to employees. Ensure your employees are advised of the cleaning schedule and changes to their workplace routines. This will help employees prepare and be aware of any temporary disruptions.
If you have any special requests or concerns regarding the cleaning service, please ensure you communicate with the team in advance. This could be your concerns about using cleaning products or to avoid certain areas within the office. When you provide this information in advance, it ensures our office cleaners are able to meet your needs.
It is recommended to secure your point of contacts contact information at the cleaning company. This ensures that should you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the supervisor immediately. A point of contact ensures smooth communication, enabling you to address your concerns or issues in real time.
