Closing your London office for the holidays is more than turning off the lights. It's an opportunity to ensure that your office is sparkling and healthy, starting your New Year with a clean workspace. Having a London cleaning company is an effective way to ensure a your office is clean and sparkling when you return to work.
Workstations and desks is where employees spend the majority of their time. It is also where crumbs, dust, and germs build up. Before your cleaning team take over, ensure employees remove their personal mugs, along with any plates, clearing their drawers of snacks and food, along with unplugging and storing any personal devices.
Desks and workstations will be cleaned and sanitised, while keyboards and phones should be thoroughly disinfected. Cables and monitors are dusted, along with the cleaning of shared office equipment, such as printers or shredders.
While your meeting rooms may appear neat and clean, chances are there are stains from spills, dust, and mess. The office closure is the perfect time to ensure that your meeting rooms are in impeccable condition.
Cleaning this area involves wiping down all whiteboards, removing out of date notices and flip chart sheets, cleaning and sanitising tables, chairs, phones, and remote controls, while dusting projectors and speakers.
Kitchens and break rooms are often the culprits for bad odours in your office when you return from holiday. This can be dirty mugs left in the sink, an open milk in the fridge, or a forgotten bin that wasn't emptied.
It's imperative that the fridges and freezers are emptied of everything, including open sauces. Every shelf and drawer, along with the seals along the door must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The fridge and freezer should be turned off and the doors left slightly ajar. The microwave should be deep cleaned, along with the coffee machine. All dishes should be washed, dried, and packed away, before the high touch surfaces are cleaned and sanitised.
Your office toilets are a top priority when closing the office for the holidays. Toilets are exposed to ongoing moisture, high foot traffic, and many high touch surfaces.
All areas of the toilets are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, while the sinks, taps, soap dispensers are cleaned, and mirrors polished. Ensure the bins are emptied and the floors are mopped.
Your entrance and reception should be cleaned and ready to start the new year when your team return to work. This involves vacuuming the carpets, spot treating them for any stains. The skirting boards should be vacuumed or swept. Your reception desk, any furniture, along with display stands should be cleaned and tidied.
