Your entrance and reception area are the first spaces visitors see. A simple checklist helps your team and cleaner keep these shared areas presentable without leaving responsibilities unclear.
Start at the front door
Look at the entrance as a visitor would. Check for loose litter, marks on accessible door glass and dirt collecting around the doorway. Include entrance mats in the agreed cleaning routine, and report damaged or curling edges to the person responsible for building maintenance.
Keep the reception desk ready
Put away paperwork and personal items before the cleaner arrives so agreed surfaces can be reached. Keep visitor records and confidential information secure. Specify which surfaces may be cleaned and which equipment should be left to staff.
Include the waiting area
- Check accessible tables and chair surfaces for dust and marks.
- Empty bins according to the agreed schedule.
- Include floor edges and accessible corners, not just the main walkway.
- Note marks on internal glass and doors for the next visit.
Cleaning methods should suit the surface and the manufacturer’s care instructions. Upholstery, high glass and specialist floor treatments may need a separate booking.
Match the routine to your workplace
A busy entrance may need attention between scheduled cleaning visits. Agree who handles day-to-day tidying and reports spills or maintenance issues, then review the routine when visitor numbers or opening hours change.
