What to Clean in an Office: A Holistic Approach

  • Desks and Workstations: Wipe down surfaces, keyboards, and phones regularly. Encourage employees to declutter and organize their workspaces to enhance productivity and streamline the cleaning process.
     
  • Floors and Carpets: High-traffic areas accumulate dust and debris. Regular vacuuming, mopping, and carpet cleaning are essential. Stratus Building Solutions employs advanced techniques to ensure your floors are not only clean but also well-maintained, preserving their longevity.
     
  • Common Areas: Breakrooms, kitchens, and lounges require special attention. Clean countertops, appliances, and communal areas daily. Regularly sanitize shared items and encourage a culture of cleanliness among employees to foster a healthier environment.
     
  • Restrooms: Maintaining spotless restrooms is non-negotiable. Regular cleaning of sinks, toilets, and floors is essential. Stratus Building Solutions employs industry-leading cleaning practices to ensure your restrooms not only meet but exceed sanitation standards.
     
  • Windows and Glass Surfaces: Crystal-clear windows contribute to a positive ambiance. Regularly clean windows and glass surfaces to allow natural light to flood your office space. This not only enhances aesthetics but also boosts employee morale.
