The meeting room, a space where important client negotiations are held, team brain storming meetings, and training courses. It's where you concentrate, talk about change, and contribute to the company's success. Your ability to concentrate and be creative depends on the state of your meeting room.
This is where your cleaning team play a vital role. Employees typically come and go before and after the meeting, but the meeting room should be cleaned and left spotless and healthy after and before each meeting.
Professional office cleaning companies help you achieve the cleanliness you need.
Meeting rooms tend to be enclosed spaces, where stale odours can be overpowering. Stale odours negatively impact productivity. It can be due to inadequate ventilation, or your meeting room isn't constantly used, remaining closed for hours, or days, at a time.
Dirty carpets can also be a reason why this space smells. Ensure you regularly vacuum the carpets, wipe down the furnishings, and open the windows for fresh air. We also recommend using a scented diffuser in the meeting room, add plants, and open the windows when you can to allow some fresh air to flow.
Ensure any spills and crumbs are cleaned up immediately, reducing the risk of them getting deeper into the carpet fibres, leaving unpleasant odours in their wake.
It's important to ensure your encourage your team to ensure all mugs, paperwork, and other items are removed from the meeting room when finished. A clutter-free meeting table promotes professionalism, and much easier to clean.
Not all meetings can be exciting and productive, you may find yourself in boring or dragged out meetings, where you eyes wander around the room. This is when you notice crumbs under the table, a stain on the carpet, or some crumpled paper under the table from the last meeting.
Now if you do this, you can only assume your client does the same. Ensure your meeting rooms are kept clean and hygienic at all times. With a regular cleaning schedule, you can ensure your meeting room gets the attention it deserves, whether its being used or not, ensuring it is always ready when you have a client walking through the door, or an important team brainstorming meeting.
It's important to ensure you have a set cleaning routine in place to keep your meeting room hygienic and ready for client visits. Wiping down high touch surfaces with high quality disinfectant, vacuuming the carpets, and wiping down the furnishings is a great place to start. Remember to open the windows where possible, allowing some fresh air to flow, eliminating unpleasant odours. We also recommend encouraging employees to clean up after themselves in meetings, leaving the room ready for the next meeting.
