With a workforce spending up to 40 hours a week in offices, it is bound to become a mess. While it can be easy to sort out a few things and mop the floor every now and then. Every commercial place requires a deep cleansing down to the bone. Proper cleaning can be beneficial for a business’s employees and clients. However, there are several common mistakes that businesses make while going about this endeavor. Here is what they are and how you can avoid them.
Missing Hard-To-Reach Places
This common mistake is made by many businesses around the world. Many would mop the floor, wipe the desk, and sort out the chairs. But following “out of sight, out of mind” can have its own shortcomings. If it’s not obvious, you should try to find hard-to-reach places and thoroughly sanitize them. Cleaning more than just visible surfaces can help get rid of diseases unknowingly festering in the corners of the workspace.
Using the Right Supplies
With the market flooded with a variety of cleaners many can get overwhelmed. There are assortments of cleaning supplies for different surfaces—such as wood, tile, marble, or glass, with appropriate solutions. Many businesses and places are known to use one type of cleaner for everything. Thereafter, rendering their efforts ineffective, but it can also cause harm to the surface as well.
Forgetting High-touch Places
Many who are coming in or are on their way out usually touch handrails, doorknobs, buttons, and keyboards—and these surfaces are more often missed on cleaning days. When your hands touch your face, mouth, or food, this can lead to severe health risks in a workspace. Therefore, it becomes extremely important not to miss these spots.
Cafeterias and kitchen
Cleaning and wiping down tables, chairs, and plates in cafeterias and kitchens should be a high priority to maintain your workers’ health. Whether it’s left-over crumbs, spilled drink on the floor, or unclean utensils, forgetting to clean these can cause more problems than just an unclean workspace. Especially when dealing with foodstuff, you need to be careful and clean up properly. This can cause a bug infestation, hence making it a crucial step.
Employees Cleaning after Themselves
Workers in workplaces can also help keep the place clean and tidy by picking up after themselves. There are several ways to achieve this, such as throwing trash in bins, returning plates to the kitchen, or keeping their workstation clean and organized. However, it’s also important to keep in mind that this should only extend to the actual job. Businesses should avoid asking their employees to undertake Janitorial duties.
