Creating an office or commercial cleaning schedule is no easy task. It can be difficult to determine the right cleaning schedule for your business without something to compare it to. To ensure your business is productive, safe, and presentable, it is important to understand your type of business and its needs. Some key items to consider are businesses size, cleaning needs, number of events/meetings, and output volume.
Types of Cleaning Services
Here are some of the typical office and commercial cleaning services and how they differ.
Janitorial Service
Janitorial service includes regular cleaning services performed on a scheduled basis to maintain a commercial space.
Building Cleaning
Building cleaning includes regular cleaning maintenance performed on a scheduled basis to maintain a commercial building.
Office Cleaning
Office cleaning includes regular cleaning services specific to an office.
Commercial Cleaning
Commercial cleaning is performed on an regular or one-time basis and includes regular cleaning and large cleaning tasks. Tasks include carpet cleaning, floor stripping and waxing, window cleaning, pressure washing, upholstery cleaning etc.
Office Sanitization/Disinfection
Office sanitization/disinfection includes Electrostatic Disinfection or ULV Fogging. Electrostatic Disinfection or ULV Fogging involves a machine that sprays a disinfecting solution of charged molecules into the air. The charged molecules repel each other and are easily attracted to surfaces, allowing for more thorough disinfection. Office sanitization/disinfection prevents illness and creates a healthier work environment.
Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning includes thorough, detailed cleaning services performed less frequently in an office or commercial space. Tasks include high surface and baseboard dusting, blind cleaning, light switch cleaning, office fridge cleaning etc.
Factors to Consider
Business Size & Needs
Schools, medical facilities, retail stores, and other large-scale businesses require frequent cleaning. Business needs will determine the type of cleaning required and the frequency. Schools need janitorial service, sanitization/disinfection, and deep cleaning, as there is a steady flow of traffic.
Number of Events/Meetings
The more events/meetings, the more frequently your office or commercial space will need to be cleaned. Vacuuming, taking out the trash, upholstery cleaning, carpet cleaning, and sanitization/disinfection should be performed regularly.
Output Volume
The amount of a certain item produced by a person, machine, or industry is output volume. Output volume can include cardboard, paper, food waste, and other common items. Prevent a build-up of clutter by adding a high output volume item to your businesses cleaning schedule.
There are many factors that affect the frequency of cleaning needed in an office or commercial space.
