Maintaining a clean office space is essential for productivity and creating a healthy work environment, but how do you know how often you need to schedule specific services? Schedule them too often, and you’re wasting resources and time, but too infrequently, and you’re left with a dirty, unsanitary workspace. The answer to this question depends on a few key factors, including the size of your facility, how much traffic the building gets, and the nature of your business.
Our team at Triad Cleaning Crew is happy to work with you to create an ideal office cleaning schedule. Let’s look at a few general guidelines that are a good starting place when you’re working out the most effective schedule.
Daily Office Cleaning Needs
Most offices will have at least a few tasks that need to be done on a daily basis to manage dust, dirt, germs, and waste. These may include:
- Emptying trashcans
- Vacuuming or sweeping high-traffic areas
- Wiping down high-touch surfaces like desks, doorknobs, and light switches
- Cleaning Restrooms
