How to maintain a clean workplace between professional visits

A professionally cleaned workplace sets the tone for productivity, professionalism, and employee wellness. But what happens between professional cleaning appointments? Maintaining cleanliness between visits ensures your workspace stays fresh, organised, and inviting, both for your team and any unexpected visitors.

Here are our top tips to help you keep your workplace in tip-top shape between KP Prestige Clean's professional visits:

1. Establish a daily cleaning routine

Encourage staff to spend a few minutes at the start or end of each day tidying up their personal areas. Simple tasks like wiping down desks, putting away items, and emptying personal bins can prevent clutter and grime from building up.

Quick tip: keep disinfectant wipes, paper towels, and bin liners readily accessible to make this easy.

2. Designate a “Reset Time” each week

Set aside 15–30 minutes each week for a quick office refresh. Assign light tasks like:

• Wiping down high-touch surfaces (keyboards, phones)

• Organising common areas

• Restocking supplies

A weekly group effort keeps things manageable and reinforces shared responsibility for a clean work environment.

3. Encourage a “Clean Desk” policy

Encouraging employees to leave their desks clean and clutter-free at the end of each day helps prevent the buildup of dust, crumbs, and spills. It also makes professional cleaning more effective when your KP Prestige Clean team arrives.

4. Stay on top of rubbish and recycling

Overflowing bins can attract pests and odours. Assign someone (or rotate weekly) to check and empty bins and recycling daily, especially in kitchens or food prep areas.

5. Manage breakroom cleanliness

Breakrooms and kitchens are notorious for messes. Here’s how to manage them:

• Label food with dates to avoid expired items.

• Assign cleaning responsibilities (wipe counters, clean the microwave).

• Create a “clean up after yourself” culture by posting a friendly reminder sign.

6. Use doormats

High-traffic areas get dirty quickly. Placing doormats at entry points helps reduce the amount of dirt and moisture tracked indoors.

7. Report maintenance issues early

Leaky taps, aircon problems, or musty smells should be reported immediately. These issues can lead to bigger cleanliness or health problems if ignored.

8. Keep cleaning supplies stocked

Make sure basic cleaning supplies are always available, for example:

·      All-purpose spray

·      Disinfectant wipes

·      Paper towels

·      Broom and dustpan

·      Bin liners

When tools are within reach, employees are more likely to use them.
