Commercial cleaning services

A well-executed commercial cleaning routine not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your premises but also contributes to the health and productivity of your employees and clients.

According to a study, businesses that implement a comprehensive cleaning procedure experience a 24% reduction in employee sick days and an increase in overall productivity. These figures highlight the importance of a structured approach to commercial cleaning.

Research also shows that 70% of retail customers who had a negative experience complained about a dirty store. 69% also stated that they have shopped at competitor’s stores due to a negative cleanliness experience. These figures are alarming for commercial properties that don’t have a proper cleaning schedule or checklist.

By incorporating a detailed commercial cleaning checklist into your daily operations, you can ensure consistency, efficiency, and thoroughness in your cleaning practices. Let’s explore the essential tasks that should be part of every commercial cleaning routine.

Elevate your cleaning game: Key tasks for a pristine workplace

Thorough floor maintenance

Start with a comprehensive sweep or vacuum of all floor surfaces, including carpets, tiles, and hardwood. Pay special attention to high-traffic areas and corners where dust tends to accumulate. Follow up with mopping using appropriate cleaning solutions for each floor type. This not only enhances the appearance of your space but also prolongs the life of your flooring.

Sanitise high-touch surfaces

Disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, light switches, elevator buttons, and handrails. Use a hospital-grade disinfectant to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses. This task is crucial in preventing the spread of illnesses and maintaining a healthy work environment. Remember to allow sufficient contact time for the disinfectant to work effectively.

Restroom hygiene maintenance

Clean and disinfect all restroom fixtures, including toilets, urinals, sinks, and mirrors. Restock essential supplies like hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels. Pay attention to often-overlooked areas such as door locks and flush handles. A clean, well-maintained restroom reflects positively on your business and ensures comfort for both employees and visitors.

Waste management and removal

Empty rubbish bins and replace bin liners. Ensure proper segregation of waste, separating recyclables from general waste. Dispose of waste in designated areas, adhering to regulations. Regular waste removal prevents unpleasant odours and maintains a tidy appearance throughout your premises. Consider implementing a recycling program to boost your sustainability efforts.

From our first meeting, we knew that we were in the hands of confident, capable, customer centred professionals. We engaged Accord to provide Building Management and Cleaning Services for a multiple building complex. They have worked very closely with the Strata Committee and the Strata Management company to ensure there is synergy in communication and activity. On taking up the contract they stepped into a minefield of issues that needed to be resolved and worked through these confidently and professionally. The managers regularly check in to ensure that they are delivering on their promise and regularly ask for feedback on their performance and solicit comments on anything they can do better. I have no hesitation in recommending the management and team at Accord and look forward to a long and productive term with them.

It typically includes tasks such as vacuuming, dusting, disinfecting surfaces, cleaning restrooms, mopping floors, window cleaning, waste removal, and sanitising high-touch areas. Specialised services like carpet cleaning, deep cleaning, and post-construction cleaning may also be offered depending on the client’s needs.

The 5 cleaning standards generally followed in commercial cleaning are:

  • Safety: Ensuring a clean environment free from hazards like spills or clutter.
  • Sanitation: Disinfecting and sanitising to prevent the spread of germs and viruses.
  • Consistency: Maintaining a uniform level of cleanliness across all areas.
  • Detail: Paying attention to small, often overlooked areas, such as corners and high-touch surfaces.

A standard office cleaning checklist includes dusting surfaces like desks and shelves, vacuuming or mopping floors, emptying trash bins, and sanitising high-touch areas, such as door handles and shared equipment. Restrooms are cleaned and stocked, while break rooms and kitchens are also sanitised. Glass surfaces, including windows, are spot-cleaned as needed.
