Visitors are more likely to feel happy and impressed if they walk into a pleasant smelling reception area and office space that is kept clean and tidy.  Toilets should be kept clean, stocked up with paper towels and soap dispenser should be full, as visitors may use these whilst being on site. A professional cleaning company will ensure that all these  are done for you.

Gathering your cleaning chemicals and equipment:

Get organised by getting the items outlined above before starting your clean. Chemicals may be placed in a cleaning caddy.  This means that you will not spend valuable time searching for things whilst doing your clean.

Prepping and Decluttering areas:

Spray disinfectant in all areas to be cleaned for chemicals to begin work and then return later. Before you start cleaning, declutter all rooms. This may include removal of toys or unwanted items from floors. Items should be placed in their correct storage.  You can also use your bin liners to empty bins. Decluttering spaces first means that areas to be cleaned are free of obstructions.

Dust, Vacuum and Disinfect:

Dust from top to bottom, ensuring that all timber ware, including handrails and picture frames are dusted.  Your TV screens should also be feather dusted. You should use a step ladder for areas that you cannot reach. After feather dusting, beddings can then be changed. Once this has been completed, proceed to disinfecting all surfaces with your solutions and clean microfibre cloth.  You can now commence vacuuming. For a deeper clean, ensure furnishings are moved, to get underneath and behind.

Kitchen and Appliances:

If you are deep cleaning your oven, please ensure you spray some oven cleaning solutions in the internal areas of your oven including racks which can be soaked in plastic bags (you can use bin bags). (please read your oven manufacturers cleaning guidelines). Allow this to settle and eat up grime.  Proceed with other areas and come back to the oven last. On returning to oven, scrub with hard scourer and later disinfect and wipe.

 Cleaning your kitchen kettle is easy, put some limescale remover into the kettle and boil it and remove wastewater from the kettle. For a deeper clean remove items from cupboards, spray disinfecting solution and wipe with a clean microfibre cloth. Spray and disinfect cupboards externally.  Fridges can be cleaned by removing items from fridge and spraying and wiping the fridge. For a deeper clean in the freezer, defrost the freezer 24 hours before clean.

Microwaves can be sprayed with disinfecting solutions and cleaned with blue roll. Washing machines can be cleaned by removing the soap compartment and giving it a good clean under running water with a soft scourer. For a deeper clean, set your washing machine to drum clean and place some washing machine cleaning solution into the machine. The same can be done with dishwashers.  Lastly, prepare your mop solution with floor gel and water and away you go with the mop stick.

Sanitaryware (sinks, tub, and toilets):

This can be done last. When disinfecting bathrooms or toilets ensure you use blue roll and dispose used rolls after to prevent cross contamination. If you have dirt lines around your tub, ensure you are using a soft scourer to scrub the lines to remove all dirt. Shower heads and taps should also be scrubed with a soft scourer. Using dissolved vinegar helps to remove a build-up of limescale.  Pour bleach or an appropriate toilet bowl cleaner into your toilet and scrub with a toilet brush.   Proceed to vacuum the bathroom or toilet.  Finally, mix floor gel with water to prepare a mopping solution. Using a clean mop and bucket (separate to that used in other areas of the home) proceed to mop the floors.

Internal Windows, Glass and Stainless-steel finishing:

Internal windows can be cleaned using washing up liquid to scrub the windows using a soft scourer or mirofibre cloth. Once this is done you can use blue roll to dry or a squeegee. For best results use a glass cleaner to finish off and then wipe dry and enjoy the sparkle. 

For many of us much of our time is spent at work in the office. On average we spend 90,000 hours at work throughout the duration of our lives. Considerable amount of time?  We agree. Consequently, a clean office space for your team and visitors is of vital importance.

So, let us look at some of the basics of good hygiene in the office:

Paperwork:

You may have a clear desk policy but does this policy result in a clear desk? paperwork piled everywhere may be a sign of a problem. Not to worry, there is a simple solution. Whilst some organisations, are now using cloud storage systems, an easy fix can come in form of storage cabinets, and desk trays.  Having organised paperwork means that cleaning your office is more effective and quicker as tables can be properly disinfected because they are paper free.

Reception and Public Areas:

We cannot stress the importance of the adage first impression counts.  Customer services extends beyond simply speaking to customer politely over the telephone.  Visitors at your premises want to come into a clean hygienic environment and this is also part of your customer service.  You can ensure this by having all surfaces dust free, fogged, vacuumed and carpet shampooed.

Work Area & Break Rooms

Keeping the work area clean is a vital aspect of staff work and motivation. A clean working area means staff can concentrate on their work and it also reduces absences due to illness.  This means ensuring that all electronics, desks, and screens are disinfected regularly to stop the spread of bacteria and leaving it dust free. Break rooms should also be cleaned regularly so that staff can have clean space to unwind during their breaks. Having a clean break room also prevent staff from carrying dirt or debris to their work area.
