Office Cleaning: Management of Office Equipment, Restrooms, Floors and Garbage

Office cleaning after business hours is a critical part of keeping your business presentable when your employees and visitors arrive each day. That’s why hiring an on-site office cleaning service will be important, especially if the daily chaos and hustle and bustle of running an office take over. Your office equipment, bathrooms, and floors will be teeming with germs and various stains that can be easily removed, either overnight or during the day.

Cleaning of office equipment

Nothing spreads germs faster than dirty keyboards, phones, or a computer mouse. Keeping them germ-free will be essential, especially during flu season. A janitorial service can keep them in good shape overnight by using disinfectant wipes on all surfaces. Keyboards can be cleaned, as well as computer mice, which are frequently used in an office environment.

While many offices now use headsets when making phone calls, some may still use traditional phones where cold and flu germs thrive. Cleaning them with disinfectant wipes or spraying the receivers with a cleaning spray will ensure a safer and cleaner use of the phone.

Office restroom cleaning

There may not be a more germ-ridden place than a public restroom. Here, toilet and urinal cleaning will be an essential part of keeping things spotless for visitors who need to use the bathroom. A professional cleaning service will use the best cleaners available to leave bathrooms as spotless as possible.

The same applies to sinks in the office bathroom. Employees and visitors often judge the cleanliness of a facility by how clean restrooms are, especially when sinks are stained or dirty. Chlorination and other water treatments in a public water system can leave stains that can develop into stains if not cleaned properly.

Mirrors must be spotlessly clean, so visitors have a clear view. Nothing proves the value of office cleanliness more than if the bathroom mirrors are dirty with fingerprints or smudges.

office floor cleaning

If you have a busy office with people coming and going, the main floors of your office could get quite dirty during the day. With the changing of the seasons, this will be especially true as fall brings wet leaves and mud, followed by snow in winter.

Professional carpet cleaning can solve this problem, first with a very thorough vacuum, followed by spot treatments when needed and regularly scheduled carpet cleaning.

Hard floors need to be waxed and shined occasionally, but this cannot be accomplished during the day. Building floor cleaning is one of the reasons janitorial services work after hours or at night, so that normal business isn’t interrupted when big jobs like floor cleaning need to be done.

Clean trash from receptacles and break room

Trash cans in the office can fill up quickly during the day and is an obvious sign of clutter for a new visitor. Some cleaning companies provide separate receptacles for secure document disposal, making them enclosed and less obvious, so that document shredding can be done at regular intervals, which may not be as frequent as emptying the trash.

Additional cleaning options that an office may request include cleaning the employee break room, which may include tables, counters, wiping surfaces, and sometimes cleaning the refrigerator. Trash cans in the break room should be emptied frequently, and a good cleaning service can also recommend air fresheners to use in these areas.

A good time to start using a professional cleaning service is before the office starts to look messy. Many cleaning companies provide detailed deep cleaning as an added service, but the best way to keep your office clean is with a regular schedule of professional cleaners who know what chemicals and tools to use to get the job done right and fast.
