Smarter Office Cleaning Programs
In the industry of professional commercial cleaning it is paramount to success that a company cleans not just hard but smart. Cleaning smart gives you a consistent level of clean while saving you time, money and unnecessary stress. Office cleaning professionals are continuously searching for ways to increase efficiency and reduce costs but with increasing labor costs and the ongoing pressure to do more for less, this can be a huge challenge. The following six steps can be applied to help your company build a more comprehensive office cleaning program and will help you save money and time in the years ahead.
- Clean in zones. By creating specific zones to clean with specific tools and products which have been assigned you can prevent cross-contamination and you will promote a better level of cleaning. This will provide an easier system that takes the guesswork out of the equation by limiting mistakes and making it unnecessary to re-clean an area.
- Cleaning the cleaning tools. Cleaning products should always be properly maintained to ensure they last longer and that they are properly effective. If tools are not routinely cleaned they will only push dirt around which will waste time and effectively cost money in the end. Be sure mops and wipes are clean and fresh. Train your workers how to effectively clean tools, don’t assume that they know how to do this especially if they are new to your company. Provide ongoing training as they need it and do periodic checks to ensure this is being done.
- Develop a schedule for deep cleaning floors. While daily floor cleaning is critical to the cleaning of any given facility, integration of a deep cleaning program will restore your floor to their original condition and extend the life of floor. In addition, with a regular deep cleaning you will make the day to day cleaning easier and save time as well. Initiating this deep cleaning regularly will have the added benefit of helping to delay the need for replacing floors.
- Use a matting system to protect floors. Help save your facility time and money by putting a matting system at all entrances and high traffic areas to reduce the amount of dirt and wear-and-tear on your floors and carpets. This also protects your customers and workers from falls and accidents due to slippery floors in inclement weather.
- Consider using dilution control systems. Chemical dispensing systems are ideal for saving time, as much as 1.5 hours per week. This is because of their hassle-free design and one step cleaning processes. This eliminates time spent searching for, restocking and storing bulk cleaning chemicals.
- Switch to microfiber. Microfiber cleaning tools provide superior cleaning effectiveness and do a better job preventing infections and bacteria to spread and cross-contaminate. Micro fiber products are proven to remove 99.9% of microbes and 80% more dust and dirt than traditional mops.
When you have the correct tools, chemicals and training in place you are better positioned to provide a consistent level of clean for your clients that only improves over time. In this way you are cleaning smart not just hard.
