Corporate events are important for staff interaction and recognition, but once the event is over, the focus lies with office cleaning. Whether it's a celebration on a new deal, a team building session, conference, or a new product release, there will always be leftover mess.
Cleaning this mess once the event is over is essential to ensure your office is returned to its clean and organised manner, reading for work the following day. The Sloane Cleaning Services team have recommended some tips for office cleaning after corporate events:
When you have an upcoming corporate event in your office, it's important to plan the cleaning process in advance. Delegate responsibilities to certain groups or people who will clean up after the event. You may want to select an event coordinator that can ensure the cleaning process is followed immediately after the event, reducing distractions when your team arrive at work the next morning.
The first step to cleaning up after a corporate events is to get rid of any waste first. Remove any waste to make it easier to identify what areas to focus on. Once the area is cleaned of all rubbish, from paper plates, balloons, and promotional materials, your cleaners are able to access all areas.
When it comes to cleaning after a corporate event, you will want to focus on the high traffic areas, such as the meeting rooms, lobby, and entrance. These areas are used the most and therefore, they are more likely to have an accumulation of dirt and items. Cleaning teams should wipe down surfaces, rearrange furniture, and vacuum carpets.
If you hosted the corporate event in your office, then chances are your office kitchen is a disaster, brimming with used glasses, plates, and left over food. It's essential all left over food and drinks are backed away or disposed of. Dishes and appliances should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitised, and any waste should be thrown away responsibly.
Your office toilets are another area that will require special attention, as it was probably one of the most used spaces in your office during the event. Toilet handles, sink taps, door handles, and soap dispensers should be cleaned and sanitised, supplies should be replenished, and floors should be cleaned.
Any spills and stains should be dealt with immediately and correctly. Quick action reduces the risk of them becoming a permanent stain. Carpet spills should be blotted using paper towel and then a carpet cleaner should be applied and gently scrubbed. If spills are on tile, wood, or another hard surface, they should be cleaned with a mild detergent.
After event office cleaning can be a tedious task, especially when it ends late and employees are due back at work first thing in the morning.
