Map the workplace tasks
List workstations, reception, meeting rooms, kitchens, amenities, floors, bins and shared touchpoints. Identify restricted rooms and who handles maintenance or spills. Product choice must suit surfaces and site instructions.
Set a practical schedule and access plan
Provide staff hours, customer patterns, keys or approved entry, alarms, parking, lift access and preferred cleaning windows. Frequency should reflect site use and scope and be confirmed in the service proposal.
Distinguish cleaning from disinfection
Routine soil removal and disinfection are not interchangeable. Use a disinfectant only when needed and follow the product label and current site procedures. No cleaning service can guarantee prevention of illness or certify a workplace as infection-free.
Choose a provider by written scope
Compare task lists, exclusions, access, price basis, service terms and evidence for any claimed insurance or specialist capability. Regulated decontamination, hazardous waste, pest treatment, repairs and unsafe access require separate assessment.
