Office Cleaning Checklist Part 2

Ensure when using hazardous substances the room you are in is well ventilated to minimise the risk of eye irritation or breathing issues.

Do note that the above is the minimum that should be considered when cleaning. It is important you consult your company’s Health and Safety Policies handbook before starting ANY office cleaning activity.

With the health and safety issues considered lets move on to the Cleaning Checklist. For ease of use we have broken each list down into Daily and Weekly Office Cleaning tasks – this should help you be more efficient and get the job done in no time!

We believe every office cleaner should start at the front door of the work premises and work inwards but its personal preference where you start.

Reception Areas
