Whether your team cleans the office or you hire a cleaning company, a written checklist makes sure nothing is forgotten. Adjust this one to the size of your space.
Every day
- Empty bins and recycling.
- Wipe kitchen counters, the sink and the tables where people eat.
- Clean washroom toilets and basins, and refill soap and paper.
- Wipe door handles, light switches and shared desks.
Every week
- Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors.
- Dust desks, shelves and window sills.
- Clean the inside of the microwave and the fridge, and throw away old food.
- Wipe glass doors and meeting room screens.
Every month
- Dust high places, vents and light fittings.
- Clean the inside of windows.
- Check chairs and soft furnishings, and arrange a deeper clean when they need it.
Agree in advance who has keys or alarm codes and when cleaning happens, so the work never gets in the way of your team.
