Simple Ways to Keep Your Building Clean for Staff and Guests

Communication is key

If you’re hiring out rooms to businesses, or you run a hotel then you need to make sure that it’s easy to communicate with your customers and vice versa. Doing this will allow you to ensure that the room they are using is left in a clean and tidy manner, and that if any damages occur you can get them repaired as soon as possible, and also charge your customer if applicable. Also, if you’re going to be making changes to office spaces for example, you can let business owners know so that they can make arrangements for their staff or work day.

You should also be communicating to your customers and letting them know that you expect the space or room that they are using to be left in a clean and tidy condition after each day they’re using it. Write up a contract that you can both sign when someone is renting a room from you so that if any damages occur, you can make them repair it.

Corridors

Corridors should always be kept free of any obstructions to avoid people falling and hurting themselves. This protects you from possible complaints and also keeps the whole place looking tidy and professional which makes a great first impression on anyone walking through. It also helps to think about the small touches that support overall cleanliness in the building because habits often carry over from one area to another. Simple things like placing commercial soap dispensers in nearby wash stations or hand wash points can encourage everyone to keep their hands clean which means fewer grubby marks and less mess carried through your corridors.

You should also have a cleaner to vacuum your corridors and rooms each day to make sure any dirt or debris that has been walked in is cleared up and ready for the next working day.

Restrooms

It’s likely that somewhere in your establishment you have communal restrooms for everyone to use and unfortunately, if these rooms aren’t regularly cleaned it can quickly become a problem. Hire a cleaner to check on your bathrooms a few times a day and freshen them up by cleaning the toilets, adding more toilet paper, and also spraying air freshener. This will keep the overall cleanliness of your toilets higher; therefore keeping your customers happy.

Finally, having automatic air fresheners strategically placed around the building will ensure that it’s always smelling it’s best for you and your guests.

Take in these three ways of keeping your communal areas clean and you will find that your job is much easier than before. Remember to write up contracts for room hire, keep corridors clear of obstruction, and hire a cleaner to tend to communal areas to ensure it’s clean and tidy at all times.
