How to Create a Customized Cleaning Plan for Your Business
Let’s be honest: no two businesses are the same.
A law office doesn’t need the same cleaning plan as a gym. A restaurant has different needs than a warehouse. So why would you use the same basic cleaning checklist as everyone else?
That’s where a custom cleaning plan comes in—and trust us, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’ve got 1,000 square feet or 100,000, we’ll walk you through how to build a cleaning plan that fits your space, your schedule, and your budget.
Here’s how to get started.
Step 1: Walk Through Your Space
First things first—take a little tour.
Walk through your building like you’re seeing it for the first time. Notice:
- Where do things get dirty fast?
- Which areas get the most foot traffic?
- Are there any “hot spots” for germs (like doorknobs, breakrooms, restrooms)?
Example:
Maybe the lobby always gets messy after lunch, or the staff restroom needs extra attention by the end of the day. Jot that down—it helps you figure out what needs cleaning more often.
Step 2: Decide How Often Things Need to Be Cleaned
Not everything needs to be scrubbed every day—but some things definitely do!
Here’s a simple way to break it down:
- Daily: Bathrooms, entryways, breakrooms, trash removal
- 2–3 times/week: Workstations, meeting rooms, windows
- Weekly or Monthly: Floors (deep cleaning), air vents, furniture polish
Tip: Start with the basics (like restrooms and high-touch areas), and build from there.
Step 3: Add in Special Cleaning Needs
Now think about what makes your business unique. For example:
- Do you need eco-friendly products?
- Do you deal with sensitive equipment or medical supplies?
- Are there kid-friendly or food-safe areas that need extra care?
Every building has its quirks—and those quirks should be part of your cleaning plan.
Step 4: Partner With a Team That Gets It
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
At Pro Image Facility Solutions, we love walking through buildings and building cleaning plans that actually make sense. We’ll:
- Tour your space with you
- Ask questions about what’s working (and what’s not)
- Recommend a cleaning schedule that fits your needs
- Keep it flexible so you can update it any time
Real talk:
One of our clients started with twice-a-week cleanings for a quiet office. Then they hired 10 new people—and we bumped it up to daily service without missing a beat.
What a Good Cleaning Plan Should Include
Here’s a quick checklist to keep in mind:
- ✔️ What areas need to be cleaned?
- ✔️ How often should each space be cleaned?
- ✔️ Any special instructions? (Products, equipment, timing?)
- ✔️ Who’s doing what—and when?
- ✔️ Is there room to change the plan if your business grows?
