Office cleaning is no big deal and yet, if it is not done regularly and efficiently, the production of your staff is definitely affected. In a nutshell, a clean office is a happy office and so this article has been compiled as a guide to help to get you increase your profits by performing such a simple task. Crystal Clean Solutions has been around for the last 13 years. We have seen firsthand the effect that a clean office generates and we have countless written testimonies from our customers to prove it.
Step One : Be ready
A mop, vacuum cleaner and brush are not enough. You need to make sure that you have all the equipment that you are going to need for the job. Old cloths, dusters, floor cleaner (or a dry foam carpet solution if you don’t have the easy to clean tiled floors), possibly a toilet brush and refuse bags. While we are on the topic of the toilet, don’t forget the air freshener and disinfectant wipes. Make sure you have some rubber gloves as well since the cleaning fluids can turn nasty if you work with them too long.
Phase Two : Get a feeling of what needs to be done
Start by letting some sunshine and fresh air into the room. Get the windows open! Once you do this you will notice that the job doesn’t seem to be as bad. Look at the job you are facing and see if there is anything that requires special attention (grease marks, stains on the floors or furniture). Set yourself a goal in terms of how long you will take to finish the job and then start at one end of the room. Make sure that your cleaning equipment is close by but not in the way.
Step Two: Get rid of the garbage.
Start by emptying out the rubbish bins and throwing away papers, soda cans, food packets etc and make separate bags available for recyclable and other rubbish. This simple task will make the rest of the job at hand look a lot more manageable.
Phase Four: Move the office equipment and stationery
You need to make sure that all surfaces are clear before you can start cleaning properly. Disconnect lights, printers, calculators, computers and the like. If possible move all of this out to a separate room so that you have more space. Any small furniture such as bins, chairs etc should be moved out of the way and don’t forget to take out anything that might be cluttering up the area like pens, books, stationery etc
Phase Five: Start by dusting the office
Now that you have a reasonably empty space (all you should have left is some of the larger furniture) you can start dusting the entire office. Start with the higher areas such as tall bookcases and light shades otherwise the dust that you remove from these will float down to the surfaces you have already cleaned.
Phase Six: Vacuum EVERYTHING!
The office area should now be clear so, if you can, try to move some of the larger furniture around so that you can get to those hard to reach places. You have already dusted and most of this will (hopefully) now be on the floor. Vacuum everything! Every piece of floor, every chair, curtain, blinds etc. Any empty drawers or cupboards can get vacuumed as well and once this is all done put all the furniture back into its original places before you continue with the next step.
Step 7: Point and shoot
Now is the time to get out your furniture or disinfectant spray formula and clean all the furniture, office working areas, window sills etc. Depending on the spray you are using you may sometimes have to wait between 10 and 15 minutes before you can wipe the spray off. Once this is done, start carrying back all the pieces of office equipment that you removed earlier making a point of cleaning them as you bring them back. Don’t spray computer monitors with furniture polish! That will be a mistake that you won’t forget.
