A Cleaning Checklist For Your Business

4/13/2021 (Permalink)

Keeping your business clean and your work environment pleasant and healthy may require a checklist, especially if the business is booming and you are busy from the time the doors open until work is done for the day. If you don’t have one, you may want to consider creating one - it can really help you streamline all the tasks you have to complete every day and throughout the year. 

Here are some pointers you can use when you create a cleaning checklist for your business:

DAILY

• Clean and disinfect bathrooms, including mirrors, countertops, sinks, and both the inside and outside of toilets. 
• Clean and disinfect doors, door handles, light switches, and other high-touch surfaces. 
• Sweep and mop floors, using a disinfectant liquid; the mop head needs to be cleaned and/or replaced regularly. 
• Clean cigarette trash from provided receptacles. 
• Clean and polish drinking fountains.
• Clean and disinfect kitchen/food prep area, including sinks and countertops. 
• Clean all glass, paying special attention to entrance doors and other areas that are high visibility. 

WEEKLY

• Wipe down and disinfect work desks and machinery such as phones, keyboards, printers, and filing cabinets. This can be a weekly task if you feel your premises requires it or if your workforce feels it is necessary for their safety. 
• Sweep and vacuum all offices. 
• Dust window sills and baseboards. 
• Dust artwork, framed certifications, etc. 
• Clean out refrigerators and wash/disinfect microwaves. 
• Sweep exterior entrances, both front and back.
• Make sure break areas are clean. 
• Remove trash and debris from parking areas

MONTHLY

• Inspect the roofing, exterior doors and windows, and parking areas for potential problems and maintenance needs.
• Trim back large bushes and tree limbs on your property ahead of a heavy weather season in your area.
