5 DIY Cleaning Tips Your Staff Can Help With

You spend almost a third of your adult life at work so it stands to reason that you want a clean environment for your staff to work in.  Clean desks and offices make for happier employees and a more productive work environment.  While the heavy duty tasks can be left to a commercial cleaning company there are things that you and your staff can do to keep the office tidy.  Here are 5 DIY cleaning tips your staff can help with that don’t take long at all.

Don’t Keep Paper Laying Around

While many offices are going paperless there are still plenty of businesses that have to work with paper files every day.  Files end up on desks all over the office because nobody likes filing.  This is how things get lost and causes you problems down the road.  Implement a policy where papers get filed immediately.  Set up a system so that everything is organized and your staff can easily put things away.  Here is some help setting up an office filing system.

Don’t Eat at the Desks

It may be nice to see employees working through lunch but it is not so great for your office equipment including expensive computers.  It also makes a mess all over the surface of the desk.  Have wipes handy for employees to clean both the desk top surface and the electronics they have.  It will keep surface from getting sticky and keep the place germ free.

Declutter

Countless studies have shown that clutter makes people anxious and ruins productivity so don’t let it happen at the office. Desks tend to be the place where everything goes but keep it down to just the bare necessities.  Too much stuff on top of your desk is distracting so clear off the clutter.

Get Rid of the Junk

This goes hand in hand with de-cluttering but goes one step further.  Not only do you want to get rid of the clutter and organize but get rid of the pens that don’t work, last year’s calendar that is still on the wall and all the swag that sales reps keep handing out.  You don’t need it and it takes up unnecessary space.

Find a Place for Everything

Just because you aren’t sure where to put something doesn’t mean in has to stay in your work space.  Cleaning isn’t just getting rid of dust it is also putting things back where they belong.  Everything from extra paper to boxes of pens should have a place to belong and you should start putting things back on a regular basis.  It will make cleaning your office easier down the road.

How to Pick a Commercial Cleaning Service

How to Pick a Commercial Cleaning Service

When you present your business to the world then you want to make sure that it looks perfect, your premises are clean and inviting for staff and customers.  Most business owners don’t have the time to take care of cleaning their business premises themselves and that is where a commercial cleaning company comes in.  How to pick a commercial cleaning service that will do the best job possible isn’t as hard as you think.  Let us show you how to get the right services for your business.

What do They Offer?

There are a wide variety of commercial cleaning companies; some specialize in cleaning offices only while others prefer to work with restaurants or on construction sites.  You need to pick a cleaning company that can work with the type of business that you have.  You also should know up front just how often you need them to come in.  Restaurants need services 7 days a week whereas an office may be able to get away with just 3 days per week depending on the size.  Some companies will require a minimum commitment while others are more flexible.

Check Their References

Whether you are hiring an employee or an outside contractor getting references is a must!  It allows you to check with previous clients to see if the company you are thinking of working with is trustworthy.  Do they show up when they say they are going to?  Do they screen their employees and do background checks?  All of this will help you find someone that you can count on.

Do They Have All the Necessary Equipment?

Commercial cleaning is more involved than just a spray bottle and some paper towels.  Do they have the necessary staff and equipment to clean your carpets and floors?  Both require specialized equipment to get the job done.  Make sure that they are able to handle the job that you are offering, adequate staff and equipment.

Hiring commercial cleaners takes a task of your plate and frees up time for you and your staff to concentrate on revenue generating activities.  It saves you time and money and gives you the chance to focus on your business.  In the long term cleaning companies pay for themselves and are well worth the money you are spending.  Your staff and customers will appreciate a clean and sanitary workplace as well, remember that first impressions count.
