Festive Cleaning Checklist: A Step-by-Step Guide to a Sparkling Clean Office

Tuesday, November 26th, 2024

Amid the end-of-year celebrations and winding down of work there are some great opportunities to maximise the cleanliness and hygiene of your office space – both ahead of the holidays, and beyond them. Here are our five key steps to maintaining a sparkling clean office in the coming months.

Check in with your Professional Office Cleaning Team for the Year Ahead

The end of the year is the ideal time to speak with your commercial cleaning provider, and together assess whether you need to make any adjustments to your site-specific office cleaning plan. What’s working well? What areas might need more time or attention in the coming year? Fine-tuning your professional office cleaning can help ensure you get the best cleaning outcomes and the best value for your cleaning budget in the year ahead. If you’re with AMC, you can speak to either your Site Supervisor or Customer Service Manager at any time for a check-in.

Prepare for Holiday Gatherings

Christmas and end-of-year parties can be busy events, and office spaces can certainly benefit from professional cleaning both before and after these events take place. If these regular cleaning steps aren’t being completed already, aim to request the following of your commercial cleaning services prior to events:

  • Disinfecting shared surfaces including in meeting rooms and kitchen areas
  • Sanitising and re-stocking bathrooms
  • Vacuuming and mopping floors

Your business cleaning team can be a valuable resource following end-of-year events too, helping to whisk away any party mess and leave the area sparkling.

Commit to the Big Declutter

Towards the end of the year the working environment will no doubt have some clutter that’s built up over the past hectic few months. This could include working files and folders, rearranged furniture or seasonal decorations.

The holiday season is the ideal time to address any clutter and have a tidy up so you can begin with a clean start in the new year. Once these spaces have been cleared away, your cleaning team will be better able to come through and thoroughly clean and disinfect areas such as individual workstations and common areas.

Consider Deep Cleaning over the Holiday Period

Regardless of whether you use small office cleaning or large office cleaning services,it’s worth considering deep cleaning. The summer holidays are the quietest time of year for many businesses, providing the perfect opportunity for deep cleaning steps that aren’t covered in your typical daily cleaningor weekly cleaning schedule. Depending on your premises, deep cleaning might include:

It’s worth working with your regular business cleaning team to identify any areas that need extra attention – you’ll certainly notice the difference as you all arrive back to the office in the new year.

If necessary, Appoint a New Commercial Cleaning Company

All of the above really depends on great communication and a proactive approach from your cleaning provider. If you don’t have that, you might consider making a change of providers. Whether you’re looking for a cleaning team for offices, shopping centres or seeking out a professional warehouse cleaning company, it pays to look for industry-specific expertise that will address your business’s unique cleaning needs.
