Maintaining a clean commercial building is essential for the health and safety of the individuals working within it. A clean commercial space also creates a good impression on clients and a suitable working environment for staff. Here are tips you should practice to clean your commercial property thoroughly.

Cleaning Plan

The most important step in commercial property cleaning is creating a detailed plan. This plan should contain the tasks, frequency, and assigned responsibilities regarding the property. A comprehensive plan ensures consistent and efficient cleaning while maintaining high standards. 

If you will be hiring a professional cleaning company, go over the plan with them and ask any questions. The frequency of cleaning should be regular without disturbing the flow of work in the building. It should also be scheduled when clients or business prospects are unavailable. A cleaning plan automates the cleaning process while removing friction. 

Prioritize High-Traffic Areas

High-traffic areas are parts of your commercial building that receive more foot traffic than others. Your building provides clients with an impression of your business. Public areas such as the reception, lobby, and hallways should be thoroughly cleaned. Vacuuming and sweeping public areas should be done at least twice weekly to maintain high standards. The restrooms need special attention because they are hotbeds for germs and infections. It is a high-traffic area that would be shared with your clients and should always be in the best state. Restrooms should be cleaned regularly, surfaces should be wiped down, and floors should be mopped. 

Building Exteriors

Building exteriors are often overlooked when discussing commercial cleaning. The exterior of your building is the first place a guest or client will see when they come to your property. Their impressions about you and your business are formed before they enter your building. 

It is essential to maintain the exterior of your building in a clean and inviting condition. Power washing the exterior, sweeping debris, and trimming plants and trees are good ways to maintain a pleasant outdoor environment. Repaint the building to give it a vibrant and neat look if necessary. Always schedule exterior cleaning frequently so you are prepared to receive clients and guests. 

Deep Clean Carpets and Floors

Carpets and floors attract stains from a multitude of places. The most common culprits are sand, spilled drinks, water, and mud. When these stains are not addressed, they can lead to foul smells within the building. 

Shampoo your carpet and use different commercial carpet brush types for thorough cleaning. Floors should be mopped regularly, and the kind of floor (wood, glass, concrete, or tile) should be considered before choosing a cleaning solution. Spring is a great time for thorough floor and carpet scrubs. Hiring a professional cleaning company to get the best results is advisable.
