In the previous article we described how to maintain cleanliness in your office throughout the week in 6 steps. Now we will tell you about its basic cleaning and why it should not be neglected for any reason. Although regular hygiene is important, it cannot replace the basics. Viruses and microbes that can live indoors are a big problem for any office. So there are a few things to keep in mind when cleaning it thoroughly.

Cleaning strategy

Like any other multi-component activity, the basic cleaning, in order to be really high quality, must go with a specific action plan. Start with a preliminary preparation of the main office space, kitchen area, bathroom, hallway and storage (if any). We, from PaChico, offer you to apply the top-down hygiene strategy everywhere. It refers to starting the cleaning of the ceiling and walls, gradually moving down to the cabinets and furniture, ending with the flooring.
During basic cleaning, it is important to take care of places such as lighting, corners, ventilation shafts, spaces behind furniture, blinds, glass partitions, awnings and more, i.e., every inch of your office space. Cleaning individual areas will help avoid cross-contamination and the transfer of bacteria from one room to another.

Suitable preparations

For basic cleaning, you need appropriate and quality detergents to use. If there is a laminated wooden floor in the office space or in the dining room, you can treat with Decide LUX Orange. To clean parquet or wooden doors, apply DEOFRESH, which, in addition to a fresh scent, also leaves a protective film on the surfaces. In case you need to clean more stubborn dirt from floor surfaces, walls, windows or PVC, we recommend AZ CITRO, which is also extremely suitable for rooms with a large flow of people, as it will refresh with its aroma.

For the bathrooms in the office, you can use SANIFRESH, which has fruit acid and has the ability to decompose limescale deposits very quickly. At the same time, it does not damage the skin and fabrics. For the kitchen sector, we advise you to apply PRO FLOOR FORTE, which specializes in cleaning various types of stubborn dirt on terracotta, granite, mosaic, parquet, linoleum, PVC surfaces and others. It also has a pleasant orange aroma. Don’t forget the windows, PRO GLASS is suitable for them, which is alcohol-based, and with it you can clean glass or other shiny areas.

Read the instructions carefully before use

When buying a particular product, it is important to first read carefully what are the instructions for its use. Usually, the label indicates whether to dissolve the product in water and in what proportion. Learn its compatibility with certain surfaces to prevent possible damage or corrosion. One of the main characteristics of the preparation is that it is safe, so look for information whether it is toxic or flammable. It is recommended to use protective equipment when working with cleaning products and disinfectants.

Advantages of basic office cleaning

Finally, let’s look at the benefits of basic office cleaning. As for you to enjoy a really clean workplace, we recommend that you perform this hygiene procedure at least 2 times a year.

• A clean office is a happy office. No employee would want to work in a dirty place. The maintained workspace will be better for the overall health of the team. Cleaner offices lead to happier and more productive employees because of a friendlier work environment.
