With summer rapidly approaching, you may be planning a lovely holiday on a sunny island. At the same time, you cannot overlook the cleanliness of your London office. Seasonal cleaning is more than dusting the shelves, it's preparing your office for the upcoming months.
As you transition from one season to the next, the shift in environmental conditions and weather patterns emphasis the importance of preparing your office for the upcoming season. In addition to your routine daily or weekly cleaning, you need to take a proactive measure to ensure your office is ready for the busy period.
It is important to assess the current state of your office, identifying high traffic areas where germs and dust accumulate. Remember, your entrance and reception are what gives a first impression, at the same time, these are the areas that attract outdoor dirt and debris. Common areas, where your employees get together, also demand special attention, such as kitchens and break rooms.
Once you have identified the current state of your office, you can create an effective cleaning schedule. This ensures you maintain a clean and healthy office space. Cleaning schedules should include regular dusting, vacuuming, and sanitising.
There should be set days to complete different cleaning tasks, depending on the size of your office. Larger offices will require daily cleaning, while small and micro offices may need weekly, or even bi-weekly cleaning. A structured approach ensures no areas are overlooked.
With your cleaning schedule in place, it's important to ensure your office is decluttered and organised, ready for the busy season ahead. This is more than simply tidying up, it is the focus on organisation, creating a visually appealing office. Encourage employees to declutter and organise their desks, along with communal areas.
Introduce a clean desk policy to incorporate a sense of responsibility. Clean desks not only improve organisation, but provides employees with ownership over their workspace. Recognising and rewarding employees that maintain a clean desk, encourages cleanliness throughout the year.
Seasonal deep cleaning is more than a simple surface clean. It is the cleaning and sanitising of all areas within your office, focusing on areas that may be missed during regular cleaning.
Seasonal deep cleaning also includes the effective cleaning of equipment. Electronic devices are assets in the modern office, but they also accumulate dust and germs. With thorough cleaning of equipment, you can extend their lifespans, while fostering a healthy working environment.
A clean workspace is more than aesthetics. Clean workspaces impact employee morale and productivity, while helping you make a good impression on any visitors. Seasonal cleaning is an effective way to prepare your London office for busy periods. Do you need a seasonal clean of your London office?
