Checklist of Workspace Cleaning

In addition to keeping all visitors and employees free from diseases keeping your facilities clean can increase productivity, attention, and efficiency. A tidy workplace conveys a sense of security and shows visitors and staff that you are concerned about the welfare of your employees. A lack of hygiene, on the other hand, fosters a lousy culture and environment within your team and, given the present context, may make office workers nervous. Bad hygiene harms corporate performance as well as the welfare and job satisfaction of employees.  

"Lack of general hygiene" is a factor affecting employee absenteeism. Employees also believe their office cleanliness is responsible for their well-being." You'll start to notice an increase in business growth and overall employee engagement if you prioritize cleanliness, health, and the well-being of your team by maintaining a clean environment.


Workspace cleaning is not just about desk cleaning anymore. Workspaces have expanded, and so has the responsibility for maintaining cleanliness & hygiene in & around our office spaces. Here are a few helpful checklist points to reflect upon your office space cleanliness & hygiene.   




Guidelines & Checklist of Office Cleaning 


Common Area Maintenance   

Common areas are a part of each & every building. Lobbies, corridors, parking spaces, cafeterias, lawns & elevators are a few. These are the spaces occupied by people most of the time, hence, requiring frequent hygiene checks & maintenance.


Here are a few pointers to ensure Common area maintenance. 

  • Day porter services must be performed very sincerely 
  • Hard floor surfaces should be swept or vacuumed 
  • surfaces should be disinfected 
  • contactless amenities can ease the process & prevent infections and keep areas clutter-free. 
  • When it comes to disposal, ensure timely disposal & segregation of dry & wet waste 
  • All the common areas are well lit & adequately ventilated 

Restrooms or bathrooms   

Smart washrooms are the need of the hour as it not only makes the experience convenient & comfortable but also prevents us from the spread of infections & disease. Smart washrooms are the advanced, customized technology solution that seamlessly integrates IoT environmental and operational sensors with digital restroom 3D mapping to provide intuitive user dashboards and alarms for real-time decision-making. Apart from smart washrooms, many other hygiene services at the restroom can ease employee experiences like   

  • Restocking the hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels,    
  • Clean & disinfected urinals and toilets  
  • Clean divisions & no watermarks  
  • Squeaky clean surfaces     


Workstations   

The most important of all, where daily grind happens is our 'Workstations' These are where employees spend most of their day. Hence, ensuring cleanliness & hygiene at workstations & their surroundings becomes vital for two reasons:   

  1. For employees well being   
  2. For enhancing productivity   

In current times, it's important to keep a check on whether:   

  • The surfaces are mopped/vacuumed  
  • All the surroundings are Disinfected  
  • Floor carpets are cleaned  
  • Ensure the use of Non-Toxic & Bio-Degradable products for cleaning  
  • Well-lit & ventilated  

The above pointers cover very much about the essential cleanliness & hygiene checklist. Along with taking care of the insides of your workspaces, it is also essential to take care of your outside premises. Nicely cleaned areas always gather people's attention & positive impression too. If there's any construction happening at your workplace, ensure those areas are cleaned up well enough to make commute or any other unavoidable tasks manageable.  


Façade cleaning is another cleaning task that should be performed regularly. Professionals must do all these tasks as they are trained to do them right. It would always be better to hire a company that provides Facility Management services to do most of it.

It includes cleaning the windows, washrooms, Pantry, & Cafeteria, as well as cleaning the workstations, workspaces, common zones & more.
