Example of a Commercial Cleaning Checklist
Its quite easy when running a business to ignore the skittering dust bunnies as they make their way across the office floor. We understand that you will have deadlines or client quires that are more important to worry about rather than overflowing bins and the offices slightly odd aroma. However a clean office is important. Not only does it have health benefits but it will also boost employee productivity. A clean workplace helps your business put its best face forward for visitors, clients and customers. A basic office cleaning checklist can help establish a regular cleaning routine.
To create a cleaning checklist begin by establishing zones such as, reception/common area, conference room, toilets, break room/kitchen and offices/cubicles. Depending on your business you may have additional areas such as a warehouse etc. Within each zone list the cleaning tasks that need to be completed. You should then place a certain employee on a different zone on a rota based system every week therefore ensuring that your office space is kept clean and tidy.
