Spring Cleaning Checklist For Your Commercial Building

 

 Jay Goldberg

Spring cleaning is one of the best times of the year. A thorough cleaning can rid your commercial building of winter dust and grime for a clean, healthy, and refreshed environment. Maintenance each season can help prevent larger issues in the long-run. Plus, a clean building is the easiest way to improve your business’ profitability.

Below is our ultimate commercial spring cleaning checklist for your janitorial team and handymen.

How To Start

Commercial spring cleaning is slightly different than residential, as it calls for greater organization and in-depth cleaning processes.

We recommend starting by sending out a notice to all employees that you’ll be going through a spring cleaning period. Tell them what the process will look like. Where will you be cleaning? What types of products will you be using? Note that surveys show that most employees, nearly 64%, prefer the use of eco-friendly products in their office buildings.

Provide a daily schedule so they know what to expect each day. For example, if your team is cleaning the main conference room on Wednesday, you want to make sure no one tries to book that space during that time.

You can also request that employees remove or box up their items for a certain time period, so you can fully clean their desks and workspaces. Provide a schedule of the days you’ll clean each department’s offices so they are prepared and can remove their items. You won’t waste time removing items from their desks, and they won’t worry about their private items being moved. It also gives them the opportunity to do their own personal spring cleaning.

Sharing this information guarantees a smooth and efficient spring cleaning process for your team. It also urges employees to get on board as well.

Now that everyone is on board, what are some of the key areas you should focus on during your spring cleaning?
