Retail Cleaning Checklist

May 17, 2013 Posted by Jani-King Commercial Cleaning, Retail Cleaning

retail cleaning checklistAppearance is everything in a small retail store. Having an unkempt and unsightly store full of clutter or dusty shelves is going to do more damage to your store than any bad online review; although the online reviews could get even worse if your retail story is in a shambles. To keep your retail store in tip-top shape and all of the reviews positive, it is best to establish a retail cleaning checklist to ensure that your commercial cleaning service is hitting all of the necessary areas in your establishment.

Every retail store is going to be unique in the products, shelves, and areas of the store that they want their commercial cleaning company to focus on. This checklist is more of a generic guideline to help ensure that the professional cleaning service you hired is completing professional level service like Jani-King commercial cleaning franchises.

Retail cleaning checklist:

Floors

One of the first things that any potential customer will notice upon entering your store is the floor. Is your floor well kept? Has your commercial cleaning company buffed out all of the scuff marks and made your floor as shiny as possible? There should be an absence of stains on all carpets. Nothing makes your store look shabbier than having stained and scuffed floors.

Shelves

Every shelf, from the very top to the very bottom, should be dusted and any products sitting on the shelf should be removed before dusting to ensure that all areas are kept clean.

Scent

Olfactory sense of a location is one of the most memorable things that humans unconsciously take note of when entering an area. If your store smells musty, dank, or otherwise unpleasant then your customers will unconsciously remember your location as unclean. Avoid this by hiring a retail cleaning company who leaves your store smelling fresh and clean.

Dressing rooms

If you are a retail clothing store, your dressing rooms MUST be immaculate. No one wants to try on clean clothing in a dirty dressing room.

Restrooms

Restrooms should be a given, but if your retail cleaning company isn’t doing a GREAT job in there, then it may be time to call your local Jani-King franchise.
