Is Your Office Ready for Holiday Cleanup?

The holiday season is right around the corner. Many offices like to partake in company activities to celebrate some if not all of these holidays. While some companies reserve a banquet hall or a restaurant, many like scheduling activities during work hours.

Celebrations can include setting up decorations and ordering food to be enjoyed at lunch or even after work hours. If you haven’t already, this is an excellent time to consider hiring a professional cleaning company or reevaluating your cleaner’s schedule if you have one.  Increasing their presence (rotation) or considering day porter services are both great options.

Here are a few more things to consider with the upcoming holidays and your professional cleaning company.

Holiday Party Cleanup

Whether your company plans to bring in food or cater a party, plan to have your professional cleaning company come in before and after.  Request a detailed cleaning schedule and be specific when identifying requested duties to avoid confusion when the holiday season arrives. If things should change, you should be able to adjust the contract as needed.

The advantages of outsourcing are countless. First, you have peace of mind that your office environment will be kept safe and clean during the holiday season. It’s one less thing to worry about in an already stressful season. Forget about having to worry about pre-party sanitation and post-holiday cleanup and get back to your daily work routine.

Just thinking about what can be left behind after a holiday party can be worrisome.  Alleviate that stress by hiring a cleaning team with the right tools, experience, and resources to clean your offices properly. A thorough cleaning company will focus on every detail, including the washroom areas. They maintain a sanitized and disinfected work environment to help keep your employees healthy.

Trash Disposal

Whenever there is an office party, more trash accumulates than on regular workdays, from more food waste and food containers to disposable decorations, wrapping paper, and other party items.

There is always extra trash after an office party which can create a problem if not taken care of right away. These things can pile up quickly and often equate to more work. Hiring a professional cleaning company will ensure trash is handled without delay.  It will also relieve stress from your employees thinking they have to stay after the party to clean up. Who wants to do that? Your professional cleaning company does!

Remember to communicate details of office parties with your cleaning company to prepare them to handle any extra duties.

Pest Control

Making sure your trash gets disposed of in a timely fashion comes with another benefit – preventing a pest infestation! If you leave post-party food waste around for a day or two, you can attract rodents and insects. Your cleaning company will thoroughly clean and disinfect after an office party eliminating leftover food, so you don’t attract unwanted guests.

Removing Decorations

Everyone loves the festive environment decorations bring to the office during the holidays. They can create a pretty messy and sometimes sticky situation though. Decorations can include greenery to liven up the space while making it smell more festive, too.  Unfortunately, this leaves a slew of broken needles and leaves strewn about the office workspace. The greenery brought in during the holidays can also leave a sticky sap that clings to surfaces long after the holiday season, which can be difficult to clean.  If you rely on your staff to clean up after the holiday party, extra time is spent figuring out how to remove sticky messes. It also begs the question – are they doing a thorough job?

Other hard-to-clean party favors include glitter and confetti. These are a hassle to clean up and can cause problems as they find their way into every nook and cranny. Professionals have the tools to handle all holiday cleaning, including sticky sap, glitter, and confetti. Rest assured that your professional cleaning company will help remove unwanted décor from office chairs, carpets, and surfaces.

Lastly, when you hire a professional cleaning company to do the job, you allow everyone, including your employees, to enjoy the season without additional hassles.
