As a business owner, you know that keeping your establishment clean and neat is a big priority. You’ve invested in regular cleaning practices that cover all the big jobs, like the floors, bathrooms, and other major areas. But what about the finishing touches?
Are there areas of your business that get overlooked as part of your regular cleaning schedule? Here are five finishing touches that will really make your business shine.
- Baseboards. Baseboards are easy to miss. They’re hard to clean properly, and many of us wait until they are completely covered in dirt, grime, and dust before tackling the job. The thing is, baseboards are highly visible to your customers and workers. So regularly cleaning them should be a part of your routine, just like cleaning the floors. Make sure to dust them thoroughly, scrub off scuff marks and dirt, and fix any loose boards regularly.
- Door kick guards. Many businesses invest in kick guards at the bottom of doors to protect them from damage. This is a great investment that can extend the life of a door, but it’s an often missed place for cleaning. These guards are usually stainless steel and can easily be covered in dirt, grime, and streaks. Invest in a good stainless steel cleaner and make sure that this area gets regular attention.
- Light switches, door handles, and elevator buttons. Many business owners stepped up cleaning these high-touch areas this year during COVID-19, and for a good reason. These high-touch areas are easy to miss but covered in bacteria, germs, and dirt. Make sure to keep up regularly cleaning and sanitizing these areas even as cases continue to drop.
- Light fixtures. Light fixtures easily collect dust, dirt, and grime. Make sure to regularly dust and clean fixtures so that your light shines bright!
- Doormats. Many business owners place doormats at their business entrances to mitigate the spread of dirt and debris, but then forget to get these mats cleaned. These mats are designed to collect dirt and grime. Vacuuming them can remove some of the dirt but you should remove the mats and make sure they get deep cleaned.
Each of these areas is visible to your customers when they come into your business. You may think that your customers overlook dirty little areas like these, but they don’t.
