Checklist for Daily Office Cleaning Tasks

When it comes to everyday cleaning of your office, there are several absolute minimum tasks that should be done for the space to stay sanitary and clean for all of your employees.

Your daily cleaning checklist must include communal office areas, such as the lobby or reception areas, workspaces including cubicles or individual offices, kitchen and break room, and washrooms.

The following are the most important cleaning tasks that should be carried out in office workspace, lobby, and reception areas
