Maintaining cleanliness between scheduled cleaning services is key to keeping spaces inviting and reducing the buildup of dust, dirt, and germs. Here are some practical, low-maintenance strategies to keep your facility looking fresh between professional cleanings:
1. Spot-Clean High-Touch Areas Daily
Examples: Door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, and shared equipment (like copiers).
Use disinfecting wipes or a gentle spray cleaner to reduce germ spread in these high-traffic spots.
2. Encourage Quick Desk and Workspace Tidy-Ups
Provide employees with easy-to-use supplies, like wipes or small dusters, to keep their own workspaces clean.
Encourage a quick wipe-down of desks and keyboards before leaving, especially in shared workspaces or hot-desking environments.
3. Set Up Waste and Recycling Stations Strategically
Place waste and recycling bins in convenient, visible locations to prevent trash from accumulating on desks or other surfaces.
Empty these bins daily or every other day to avoid odor buildup and maintain a tidy environment.
4. Implement "Clean as You Go" in Break Rooms and Kitchens
Encourage staff to clean up immediately after using break rooms, especially countertops, microwaves, and sinks.
Provide easy-to-access paper towels, multi-surface spray, and compostable or reusable dishware to minimize single-use waste.
5. Add Entry Mats and Encourage "No-Shoes" Areas, if Possible
Entry mats can reduce dirt and moisture tracking into the building.
If feasible, encourage staff and visitors to avoid bringing outside dirt into more sensitive areas (like carpeted workspaces) to cut down on vacuuming needs.
6. Place Air Fresheners or Deodorizers in Key Areas
Use light air fresheners or deodorizers in bathrooms, lobbies, and other areas to maintain a fresh atmosphere.
Opt for low-impact, eco-friendly options to reduce airborne irritants while keeping odors under control.
7. Schedule Periodic Check-Ins for Restocking Supplies
Ensure supplies like hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper are topped up regularly. Empty soap dispensers or lack of hand towels can be noticeable and inconvenient, affecting overall satisfaction with cleanliness.
With these simple habits, maintaining a tidy and fresh facility between scheduled services becomes easy, keeping the work environment pleasant for everyone while also reducing the amount of heavy cleaning needed during our next visit!
