You might wonder how often you should have your facility cleaned. The short answer is that it depends. Every work environment is different and so it’s important to find the rhythm that best serves you and your needs. Here are a few things to take into account when making this determination:
Purpose of the space
Naturally, a small commercial office is going to have different needs than a high-traffic and germ-prone building like a school, especially these days with the spread of COVID-19. Typically, spaces that do not house or serve food commercially require a weekly visit. Of course, this can change according to the number of people and their habits. And before and after special events — like a company holiday party for example (remember those?) — when you’ll want some extra help.
Common practices and policies
Another thing to take into account is your policy regarding eating. Some offices allow employees to eat anywhere, while others might insist on a dedicated space like a break room for this activity. During the pandemic, many offices have banned eating in groups altogether, but others take a looser approach. As you can imagine, a workplace with less stringent requirements may require more frequent cleanings. It’s important to be realistic about your employees’ habits and how they might affect the cleanliness and sanitation of your facility. No one wants to smell a rotting apple in a trashcan, after all!
As, we’ve mentioned before, a clean office is good for business. Businesses that make this a priority enjoy greater employee morale, worker productivity and generally have a more favorable reputation. We can help you determine the frequency of cleanings that is right for your office. And the best part is we don’t require long-term contracts.
