In office and commercial buildings, office cleaning
is necessary as part of the maintenance policy. Generally, the
cleanliness of buildings is maintained by the janitorial or cleaning
department. In some cases, however, cleaning is left to each tenant of
the building.
There are also circumstances in which the administration of the
building provides its cleaning staff for the entire building, but it is
only limited to the exterior part of the office, like the hallways,
stairs, windows not included in
each office space, and comfort rooms, if any. Each tenant of the
building is then responsible for the cleanliness of his office space.
The building's office cleaning service
covers the walls, ceilings, and floors of hallways. Janitors use mops
soaked in cleaning solution to clean the floors. Now, some buildings
have different materials used in flooring.
In today's age and technology, rarely is wooden floor seen. But just
in case, wooden floors must not be soaked wet as much as possible. Moist
is the wood's most dangerous enemy and that includes the hardwood.
Cleaning the wooden floor can be done using damp mop or rugs.
Vinyl too is sensitive to water. Just like the wooden floor, vinyled
floor is cleaned with much care, it should not be overly exposed to
moisture or water. Tiled and marbled floor are flexible. They are not
sensitive to water. Thus, mops can be soaked in cleaning solution in
removing dirt from these floors.
If there are stains on the walls, they should be removed; otherwise,
stains would become stubborn overtime and would make the walls look
hideous. The ceilings and their corners are prone to cobwebs. These too
must be cleaned.
Window cleaning is an integral part of office cleaning. In cleaning the windows, the materials are considered. Some windows
are made of glass, while others are made of glass and metals on borders
and edges, and a few use woods instead of metal. Metal is prone to
rust. But it can be avoided when regularly maintained.
Of course, the glass needs a specialized cleaning solution to prevent
blur and make it very clear. Wiping the glass of solution is done by a
wiper designed exclusively for glass. Most often, the wiper is
manufactured from rubber.
The comfort rooms should be treated with high priority in office cleaning.
It should be clean always because the toilet is vulnerable to germs,
mold, mildew, and dirt. In order to prevent these harmful bacteria from
breeding in the toilet, cleanliness should be regular. Floors, walls,
and the toilet bowls are among the areas to be cleaned inside the
toilet.
Moving forward, in each office space, cleaning might be similar or
different depending on the settings and decorations used. For example,
if the tenant is using carpet on the floor, then carpet cleaning is
employed instead of mopping. Vacuum cleaner is used instead of scrubs
and mops.
The windows, walls, ceilings, and toilet if it has its own, are among the areas included in office cleaning. Sometimes, it is done once a month, except the toilet, which must be cleaned everyday as much as possible.
