Office holiday parties are a great way to show appreciation to your employees and develop team unity in the workplace. While office parties can be fun and great for team building, they can also be challenging to clean up after. Hiring a professional janitorial company, like Tropical Breeze, is a great way to ease the holiday stress. At Tropical Breeze, we are a full-service company providing consistent, efficient, and stress-free janitorial solutions. Another option is having a handy checklist. Use this cleaning checklist provided by Tropical Breeze to make cleaning a breeze.
Before the party:
To make the after-party clean-up faster, you can take a few simple steps before the party begins.
- To protect carpets, use mats where spills and drips are most likely to occur, such as under the food and drink tables.
- Use disposable tablecloths on the tables to protect the surface and allow for a quick clean-up. You can quickly fold and throw the tablecloth away, along with all the crumbs and trash.
- Have large trash cans that are easily accessible in a few different areas so people can take care of the majority of the trash themselves.
- Establishing a cleaning committee responsible for cleaning up after the party is also highly recommended.
During the party:
Cleaning up spills and drips as soon as they happen will help prevent the stains from setting in. Keep a few easily accessible cleaning supplies, such as all-purpose spray, stain remover, and paper towels.
After Party Cleaning Checklist
- Decorations: dispose of one-time-use items and store the rest in a labeled container.
- Trash: go around the room with a trash bag and collect any remaining trash, such as plates, cups, and napkins. While at it, fold up the disposable tablecloths and throw them away.
- Sanitize: Use sanitizing wipes and disinfectant, and wipe the tables, chairs, counters, and other surfaces.
- Vacuum: vacuum all the carpeted areas.
- Sweep and mop: sweep and mop the tiled and hard floors.
- Bathroom: Sanitize and disinfect toilets, sinks, handles, doors. Sweep and mop the floors. Restock paper towels, soap, and toilet paper.
