Maintaining a clean and healthy commercial space is essential for customer satisfaction, employee productivity, and the upkeep of their facilities. However, many businesses focus on daily or weekly tasks, neglecting periodic checks that ensure deep and effective cleaning over the long term. Here’s an annual commercial cleaning checklist that you can review every quarter to keep your business in optimal condition.

Why a quarterly checklist?

Regular maintenance not only prevents facility deterioration but also helps detect problems before they become major costs. It also fosters a healthier and safer work environment for everyone.
