When clients, prospective employees, and other visitors come to your office, their impression of your company can be heavily influenced by the cleanliness and organization of your workspace. Keeping everything tidy and inviting helps create an image of professionalism and competence. Here are a few important and often overlooked office cleaning details that will help you and your commercial cleaning provider maintain that image.

How to Impress Your Business’s Visitors

1. Tidy Frequently

Depending on how many people come through your building, you may not need in-depth office cleaning every day. However, guests will start to notice if you let dust and dirt build up or if trash cans are overfilled. Schedule a basic clean daily—or several a day if your office gets enough traffic to be noticeable. Have your commercial cleaning provider empty trash cans, clean smudges from glass, and wipe down all surfaces.

2. Focus on Floors

Floors get dirty fast, especially in rainy or dusty weather. You can help minimize this issue by placing doormats inside and out, but you’ll still need to schedule vacuuming or mopping daily in your entrance and major hallways. Keep an eye out for carpet stains and discoloring; you should expect to shampoo your carpets between one and four times a year to keep them spot-free.

3. Keep the Office Smelling Fresh

Most cleaning is focused on getting rid of visual signs of mess and dirt, but odors are just as important. Regular carpet and upholstery cleaning, along with a quick response to any messes like food spills, will help prevent musty smells from developing. This is also another good reason to empty the trash frequently. If you’re concerned about chemical smells from cleaning supplies, work with your provider to find more fragrant alternatives, or better yet, make sure your provider is using products that have no added perfumes or scents. Air fresheners might be tempting, but some visitors may find the scent too strong or unpleasant, or they may be allergic. Try installing an air purifier or keeping live plants in the building to give the air a fresh feel.
