Since cleanliness needs to be emphasized much more these days, you need to know how your store will be able to stay clean as customers come and go. On top of all of the concerns revolving around our current pandemic, there are still the other persisting problems with keeping a business clean, such as dust and foot traffic. But if you can keep everything clean, customers will have a better experience when they visit, and workers will be more efficient. Here are some cleaning tips to help your retail store stay in pristine condition.
Pay Attention to Floors
A lot of foot traffic will take place in your business, and it can get your floors dirty quickly. Floors leave a stronger impression on customers than you may realize. People are less likely to stay around your business if they have to walk on mucky floors and stained carpets.
To keep your floors looking good, make sure you’re mopping and sweeping them regularly. A vacuum can also help, especially with carpets that are more likely to hold in dirt. You should make mopping, sweeping, or vacuuming a part of your daily morning routine to prevent too much dirt from accumulating over time. After every six months, it’s best to get carpets cleaned professionally. Other floors should get rewaxed every six to twelve months.
Monitor Restrooms
Restrooms can tell a lot to customers regarding how clean a business is. If even one restroom isn’t up to par, customers will likely be uncomfortable and be less likely to return to your business. Make sure your employees check the restrooms multiple times a day so that they don’t get too dirty over time. As your business gets more customers, and more people end up using your restrooms, don’t be afraid to bring in professional services to help you keep up with your restroom cleaning.
Clean Off Your Walls and Furniture
Walls are not the first thing people would think needs cleaning, but it’s hard not to notice when walls have smudges and stains all over them. Spot cleaning is needed to keep dirt off of your walls. It also helps your paint job last longer.
Your furniture can also benefit from spot cleaning. The sooner you clean marks off, the better because there’s less time for stains to set in and become harder to remove. The main drawback of doing spot cleaning yourself is the amount of time it takes from your employees. If you don’t think your workers can sacrifice the time needed to spot clean your walls and furniture, a professional cleaning company can give that time back to you so your business can be more efficient.
