Owning and operating an office space brings many maintenance requirements outside the roles of your company. One of the many is making sure the workplace stays clean, neat, and organized so you and your employees can remain productive. Keeping workplaces and people clean and healthy helps to raise morale and productivity. Office cleaning times need to regularly appear on the calendar to see these improvements. An office cleaning checklist that contains all the parts of the office, the necessary cleaning steps for each part, and how frequently they should be cleaned can help you stay on top of all the tasks. A quick and easy checklist looks something like this:
