FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE LAST IMPRESSION…
This popular saying fittingly aligns with the Topic of OFFICE CLEANING !
Whenever we walk into an Office, whether a Private Company, a Corporate Giant, a Government Department or any such Work Place… We expect a Clean, Sanitized and Clutter Free environment to Greet Us! Many disturbed nerves get relaxed when the ambience is Clean and Serene…An attractive Reception Area perks up the Visitor and a Clean and Comfortable Waiting Zone, relaxes Him / Her.
To most of us a common Question arises – What’s Included in Office Cleaning? What is the Office Cleaning Checklist?
OFFICE CLEANING is almost akin to Home Cleaning, except that it needs constant surveillance and a Sharp Eye to catch those infiltrating Dust Particles on the Floor and on the Furniture surface.
There are various Blogs which will give you a Long Checklist of Do’s to keep your Office Clean BUT a fact remains that apart from the usual In-house Housekeeping, which includes Dusting, Sweeping and Mopping and Toilet Cleaning, a PROFESSIONAL CLEANING AGENCY is mandatory, to keep your Office Premises Hygienic, Healthy and Clean.
We @ BCCPC will make it simpler for you…
- FLOOR
It is mandatory in any Office to have a sparkling clean floor, spotless with not a single speck of Dust on it. The floor should also be ‘Well Mopped and Dried’ before people start walking on it.
It is also equally important to use the right Liquid Cleaner in the Mopping, which also has a good AROMA, which will give the Floor a Hygienic and Clean look.
- CEILING
It is basic Human Nature to observe or survey any new place you enter…
First look is on the Floor and the immediate Second look is on the CEILING!
It is here that the need of a ‘Sharp Eye’ arises, which can spot Dust Particles on the ceiling surface, specially in the Corners and the more irritating Spider Webs which spring up overnight.
Proper Long Handle Brooms, Brushes and Cloth Scrubs are required to remove all these from the Ceiling and mind well, it is a Continuous Process…
- FURNITURE
Office Tables, Chairs, Work Desks, Couches, Corner Tables, Storage Cabinets, Filing Cabinets n so on… The list is endless and that also depends on how big the office is and it depends on the number of Employees inhibiting it.
Surface Cleaning is to be done in a major way, as Dust Particles and Spider Webs will play havoc otherwise.
You should also use a Vacuum Cleaner, Proper Liquid Surface Cleaners and Clean Swipes to give a shining effect on the surface of your Office Furniture and all the Electronic Equipment placed on it… DAILY!
- WASHROOMS
It goes without saying that the Key to a Hygienic and Healthy Office is a CLEAN WASHROOM… This is one of the most crucial yet tedious clean zone needed in every Office. Housekeeping Staff has to be on their toes in the large Corporate Houses, as a constant flow of users continues thru the day. A lot depends on the Office Culture and the Office Staff’s Washroom Behaviour. The Cleaning Team should procure and use the best Detergents, Liquid Soaps, Brushes, Brooms, Mops, Swipes etc., to keep the Washroom Hygienic and Clean while ensuring that a Healthy Aroma is constantly there.
- PANTRY
Many large Corporate Offices have a huge pantry area, where a lot of Food related activity is on almost 24 x 7, specially the Call Centres, IT Companies, Ad Agencies etc. Meals are made, heated, served, consumed and so on…
In the process creating a Mess which needs constant surveillance and cleaning in order to keep the Pests away and keep it Healthy and Clean.
It is advisable to appoint a Professional Cleaning Agency like BCCPC (Brisbane Commercial Cleaning and Pest Control) or any other with equally high standards, to keep your Pantry and Washrooms Clean, Yet some important tips for the smaller Offices… Pantry means “Home to Dirt, Muck, Grease Surfaces and Pests” like Cockroaches, Rats, Mice, Ants etc.
The Professional usage of Pest destroying Pesticides is important yet tricky, as many a times it adversely affects HUMANS and not the PESTS.
- PEST CONTROL
This is one Zone of OFFICE CLEANING where we categorically advice and insist that a PROFESSIONAL CLEANING SERVICE like BCCPC should be contacted and called upon. The Best you can do as an Office Owner / Manager / Housekeeping etc. is to keep your Eyes, Ears and Nose alert and try to Spot the presence of Pests in your premises.
The rest of the process should be Professionally handled.
So watch out for Cockroach eggs, wings, legs etc., for Droppings / Poop of Rats and Mice, the acidic smell of these pests, the scurrying sound of Rats and Rodents, Missing food, Food Containers Bit Open by rodents, scattered grains etc.
