A lot of people have started working from home due to the complications with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some workers are returning to their offices with safety precautions. Though the number of people working in offices has decreased, your cleaning service may still be a valuable asset to any office building. Here are some tips that will help you start on corporate cleaning.
Before we dive into tips and tricks on corporate cleaning, let’s address the differences between corporate cleaning and regular cleaning. First, there are some obvious differences. The size of the property is the first difference that comes to mind. During normal days, a cleaning service may use a vehicle to travel to a few properties. However, corporate cleaning may involve spending more time making your way through multiple levels of cubicles and conference rooms.
The difference in size means that you will need to prepare to bring extra cleaning supplies and solutions. Buying cleaning supplies in bulk is possible online on Amazon or stores like Costco Wholesale. Once you are sure that your cleaning service is properly equipped with the necessary supplies, you’re ready to clean. Before you are ready to clean, you should determine the sector in which you will be conducting your corporate cleaning. We recommend that you begin with professional office buildings before moving onto the medical or educational sectors.
Just like any other profession, when it comes to cleaning, time is money. This means that you and your cleaning company must focus on cleaning the office building with as much efficiency as possible. A good way to maximize efficiency when cleaning an office filled with cubicles is to bring an all-in-one cart with you.
Ideally, this cart is outfitted with the tools necessary to complete the following cleaning tasks:
Consolidating all of your cleaning tools onto one cart will save you time. Now, you don’t have to go back and forth from the area you’re cleaning to retrieve items. This will make completing your cleaning task much more efficient. Furthermore, properly equipping your cleaning cart can help to reduce the physical stress that is sometimes apparent in running a cleaning service.
In the end, it is important to recognize that corporate cleaning is not the same as traditional residential cleaning. The scale of the cleaning is larger, and you must determine the specific sector in which you are willing to work. Cleaning large office buildings is hard work, so it is crucial that you and your cleaning service come prepared with the most efficient tools.
As your cleaning company gains experience with this new type of cleaning, be sure that you constantly innovate new ways to clean more efficiently and safely. Leave notes and other comments directly on the Taskbird app to ensure that your cleaning service is constantly learning and growing.
