How To Ensure a Clean and Safe Rental Property

March 1, 2022   

Being a property owner you know the challenges of keeping it clean. It’s more important now than ever to keep your property clean and sanitized for not only appearance but for the safety of your tenants and guests. 

Renting a property means it’s your responsibility to keep your area clean. That includes the hallways, lobbies, staircases, and elevators, among other areas. InterKleen knows exactly what has to be done to do this.

Create a Daily Cleaning Routine

Properly cleaning your shared areas will play a big role in keeping the environment clean and safe for you and your tenants. The first big step in keeping your property clean is a daily cleaning checklist. It should include the following:

• Clear common areas of all garbage
• Clean the lobby, halls, elevators, and stairwells. Make sure any carpet is vacuumed. 
• Sweep and mop all corridors and stairwells.
• Wash and wipe all glass surfaces.

 

Step Up Your Weekly Cleanings

A daily cleaning schedule helps keep things maintained but you’ll also need to have a weekly deep cleaning that gets the more complicated areas. This will make sure that each section of your property is clean and safe.

If you’re finding yourself too busy to clean on weekends or after the workday, hiring a commercial cleaning company can make sure everything gets done with precision. 

Here are a few things to do on your weekly deep clean checklist:

• Keep a dust-free environment
• Clean all windows and mirrors
• Dust all furniture and equipment
• Maintain bathrooms. This includes sinks, toilets, and mirrors
• Wipe the baseboards, floors, and glass surfaces
• Sweep and mop the hallways and stairwells
• Vacuum carpets
• Clean each entrance door
• Remove trash from the common areas

This is just a sample of what to do and it can vary depending on the different amenities at your property.

Deep Clean Each Month

Having a daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning routine can be a lot. However, it is necessary in order to keep the property safe and clean for everyone inside. A commercial cleaning company can help take care of the monthly deep cleaning every month. A cleaning company can save you time and money each month.

A typical deep cleaning checklist will include:

• Deep cleaning all carpets and areas with heavy traffic
• Deep cleaning all hard floor surfaces
• Cleaning and wiping all glass surfaces
• Deep cleaning all toilets
• Deep cleaning all kitchen areas
• Deep cleaning all entrance and exits
• Deep cleaning all electrical fixtures and air vents
• Deep cleaning all hallways and stairways

Again, this list can vary depending on the different rooms and amenities of your property.
