The season of office Christmas parties, festive decorations, and winding down for a break is upon us! Whilst this time of year is for celebrations, maintaining a clean, professional office is still essential for your business.
In this article, we are going to share some top cleaning hacks for the festive season, whether that be after a party, or before closing your doors and heading home for Christmas.
Christmas Cleaning Checklist For Your Office
1. Deck the Halls, Then Clean the Walls
Before hanging your festive decorations, start with some pre-Christmas cleaning tasks. Use warm water and soapy water to wipe down walls, desks, and communal areas. A clean slate makes those Christmas decorations shine even brighter!
2. Party Spills? Jingle All the Way to Clean!
Office Christmas parties often leave a trail of crumbs and stains. Tackle them quickly! Clean up any spills from Christmas food and drinks as soon as they happen using warm water and a gentle cleaner to prevent stains from becoming permanent.
3. Santa’s Sleigh Needs a Smooth Landing
Ensure that all flooring is cleaned and polished before you close up. This is especially important in areas such as reception areas, where guests arrive or clients are greeted. A sparkling floor ensures your business maintains a professional appearance.
4. Festive Food? Keep it Hygienic!
If your office kitchen has hosted a festive Christmas dinner or buffet, make sure to deep clean all surfaces and appliances. Leftover food debris can quickly attract unwanted pests. Pay special attention to fridges, ovens, and counters.
5. Clear the Clutter – A Gift to Your Team
Use the festive downtime to declutter and reorganise. Donate any unused office supplies or items to a charity shop. A tidy workspace sets the tone for a fresh start in the New Year.
6. Top-to-Bottom Tidy for the Holidays
Before heading home to enjoy time with family and friends, give your office a deep clean from top to bottom. Clean air vents, dust high shelves, and vacuum in all the nooks and crannies. This ensures you return to a fresh, welcoming environment in January.
Top Tip! Pay close attention to high-touch areas like doorknobs, conference tables, and bathrooms.
