There’s a lot going onduring the festive season that tends to pushoffice cleaning out of mind. End-of-year meetings, office parties, and those last-minute projects that suddenly need to be wrapped up. Yet, the end of the year is also one of the best times to ensure everything’s running smoothly when it comes to your business cleaning services.
That’s why we’ve put together these five essential reminders when it comes to your office cleaning in Auckland and beyond.
Get Ready for Those Office Events
A little preparation goes a long way to ensure you can really relax and enjoy those Christmas and end-of-year events knowing everything’s in order. If you’re working with a professional cleaning companythese details will likely already be covered, but common areas are obviously particularly important when you’re inviting staff, clients and other stakeholders. Aim to time cleaning just ahead of the event when it comes to:
- Cleaning floors and surfaces in foyers and lobbies
- Washing windows and windowsills
- Replenishing consumables like soap, paper towels and hand sanitiser
- Getting kitchens and washrooms sparkling clean.
Your cleaning provider can also play a key role helping to get everything spick and span following office events, including after-hours cleaning to ensure any party mess isn’t left to stain or damage surfaces.
Have a clear out
Clearing away this year’s clutter will set the tone for a brighter, cleaner new year of work. This step can be as simple as sending out an office memo to the whole team to encourage an end-of-year tidy up. Be sure to consider the following, which your business cleaning servicescan also help you with:
- Clearing, cleaning and disinfection of fridges
- Thoroughly washing common cutlery, glassware and crockery, plus their drawers and cupboards
- Emptying bins and recycling receptacles
- Clearing clutter from workstations so keyboards and desks can be thoroughly cleaned.
Get into the Nitty Gritty with Deep Cleaning
Surfaces that are up high or out of reach may not fit into your usual daily cleaning or weekly cleaning schedule –but they can still accumulate dirt and grime. The lead-up to the holidays is the perfect time to arrange for deep cleaning of areas that don’t get regular attention, because the office is most likely emptier than it usually is.
Depending on your office and your regular office cleaning plan this could include cleaning upholstery, blinds and curtains, window sills, air vents, tall ledges and carpets. A deep clean will ensure you return to a fresh, clean space that supports workplace morale and wellbeing.
Polish up the Plan for your Office Cleaning Services
If you’re working with a commercial cleaning company, the end of the year is often a great prompt to check in and provide feedback on what’s working well and what could be improved next year. This can help you ensure you’re getting the best outcomes from your cleaning plan, particularly when applied across large office cleaning requirements.
With AMC your dedicated Site Supervisor will be in regular contact with you, but regardless of your provider aim to check in periodically and ensure you’re happy with the service you’re receiving.
Upgrade your Office Cleaning Company, if necessary
If you’ve been left feeling less than thrilled with your current office cleaning services, it could be time to upgrade your cleaning provider so you can return to a mess-free and stress-free office after the holidays.
Office cleaning is a specialised form of cleaning, just as with medical cleaning, childcare or daycare cleaning or industrial cleaning. So whether you’re looking for an office cleaning provider or a warehouse cleaning company, it’s wise to start your search with an industry-specific provider.
