If you aim to run a high-quality business, then keeping your business premises clean is an essential task. It does not matter what kind of commercial business you run, clean office space will provide a comfortable work ambiance for your staff.

So, to start any business, you need to prepare beforehand and stock up your cleaning room with the necessary cleaning items. What kind of cleaning devices and supplies will you require? Before we move towards the list of basic cleaning supplies and items, let us go through the necessary steps involved.

Analyze Your Requirements

Before you begin to gather cleaning supplies, you need to analyze your cleaning requirements. How many rooms do your commercial office have? How many restrooms? There are ample of things to be cleaned regularly, such as walls, floors, entryways, countertops, electronic devices, trash bins, and so on. Make a list of all these items that have to be cleaned so that you can arrange for the necessary cleaning items.

List Out the Essential Cleaning Items

If you are already into operations, then your room might be stocked with certain cleaning supplies. Are these items sufficient? Do you need to update your cleaning items? List out what all extra supplies and devices are required.

Another way to know about your cleaning status is to understand what the office employees feel about it. Is your staff satisfied with the cleanliness of restrooms and premises? Do your customers find the lobby messy and untidy? In this case, surveys help in understanding the actual status of the office cleanliness. Once you seek the rating assigned by your staff and customers, you can take the necessary action. You can update your cleaning items and analyze whether the current ones are up-to-date or not.

So, following are few of the basic cleaning supplies which should be included in the cleaning routine of a commercial business enterprise.

Trash Bins

A primary component of the cleaning routine, but often ignored by the business owners, trash bins have to be in a specific number. If the trash bins are overloaded, then you might have to purchase a number of them. Make sure that the bins are not broken at places, or in a damaged condition.

Mops and Vacuum Cleaners

Gone are the days when commercial offices used traditional brooms and mops to clean the floorings of the office premises. Thanks to the office cleaning industry, one can purchase high-tech and efficient cleaners for dusting, mopping, and other purposes. The industry experts have invented unique cleaning equipment, designed for commercial use only.

Wet Floor Signs

Yes! Wet floor signs are often ignored by commercial premises. If a visitor or a staff member steps on the damp floor, it results in wastage of the time and effort of the cleaning employee. Hence, a certain number of wet signs should be taken into consideration.

Miscellaneous Items

Other cleaning items include buckets, dusters, spray bottles (to clean countertops and restroom mirrors), window cleaners, paper towels, rags, dustpans, trash bags, latex gloves, extension cords, containers (to store supplies), and tissues. Most of these items need to be restocked at regular intervals. For instance, paper towels and trash bags are required in a huge number. Also, when some items like a mop wear down, it needs to be replaced instantly. A hose reel is highly recommended when it comes to cleaning places that are hard to reach.

Cleaning Chemicals

To get rid of bad stains, a commercial business needs to have a robust cleaner. Commercial business enterprises should also use eco-friendly cleaning materials and chemicals, following sustainable business practices. So, prefer those cleaning chemicals which are made out of non-toxic substances. A “green” and sustainable approach always helps in the long run.

So, a commercial business enterprise is required to look into the stock and quality of the existing cleaning items. Timely updating of cleaning supplies is also essential. This aspect should not be done only as a cumbersome task, but also to maintain hygiene and image of the organization and to provide a comfortable, safe environment for the staff and customers.
