One of the best ways to convey a professional, inviting message about your business is to keep your lobby clean and welcoming. Follow these steps to make a positive first impression on your visitors:

1. Stock up on wholesale cleaning supplies in Bismarck.

Depending on the surfaces in your lobby, you may need the following cleaning supplies:

– Wet floor or Caution signs
– All-pupose cleaners
– Carpet cleaners, especially stain removers
– Window washing supplies
– Wood furniture police
– Carpet cleaning equipment
– Trash liners

You can find all these wholesale cleaning supplies and more in our online catalog.

2. Make a plan for daily cleaning.

Your lobby is a busy area, and it will need daily attention to keep it looking its best. Schedule time each day to remove debris and trash from your lobby, clean tiled or hardwood areas with a microfiber dust mop, run a vacuum over carpeted areas and spot-clean doors and walls with an all-purpose cleaner.

3. Set weekly cleaning goals.

Save more labor-intensive tasks for weekly cleaning. Dust mop, sweep and mop hard floors once weekly, use a squeegee and glass cleaner to clean fingerprints and smudges off windows, and polish wood furniture or vacuum upholstery.

4. Make a plan for monthly cleaning.

Once a month, use a damp cloth to get rid of dust, cobwebs and spills from the baseboards and walls. Clean and vacuum floor matting and dust the tops of doorways and frames. Use a microfiber cloth and glass cleaner to clean all the windows.

5. Set semi-annual cleaning goals.

There are a few tasks that only need to be done quarterly (or even less!), but they will make a big difference in the condition of your lobby. When needed, strip and re-coat floors and use an extractor to give your carpets and rugs a deep clan.

6. Finish each job by cleaning up after yourself.

When you finish your daily, weekly, monthly or semi-annual cleaning, pick up after yourself by disposing of trash bags, removing caution or wet floor signs, rinsing out buckets, wringing out mops and returning all your cleaning supplies to your janitorial cart or its proper storage area.
