Only Office Holiday Party Cleaning Checklist You Need

Let loose and unwind with friends and fellow coworkers at your
annual holiday office party! Before the drinks start flowing and music starts
pumping, someone has to start planning. There is a lot of prep that goes into
bringing a party to life. Before you spend time decorating, you want to make
sure your space is clean and welcoming with the appropriate office cleaning
services.

This checklist will have you covered before the festivities begin
and after they are over, so every aspect of your party goes
smoothly.

• Make sure counters and surfaces are disinfected and
  clear of clutter.
   An unsightly stack of papers, crumbs
  from yesterday’s snack, a spilled soda from an hour ago… none of these will
  do. Before throwing a tablecloth over everything and calling it a day, take
  some time to clean up the clutter and disinfect the surfaces. Then overlay
  these areas with your tablecloths and party décor so your space is healthy,
  spotless, and convivial.
    
• Sweep and vacuum floors and remove tripping
  hazards.
   A lot of dirt, dust, and grime can
  get tracked into the office on a daily basis. A thorough floor cleaning
  before the party starts gives you a blank canvas and actually helps freshen
  the air. Furthermore, if people plan to dance or just socialize throughout
  the party space, you don’t want there to be unnecessary chairs or pieces of
  furniture in the way.
    
• Clean your restrooms prior to the party and ensure
  they are well stocked.
   The bathroom quickly becomes a
  satellite location to the main party happening outside. People are in and out
  multiple times throughout the night, and sometimes it acts as a quieter place
  to continue a conversation. In addition to cleaning and disinfecting the bathroom
  before the party, you will want to have a dedicated person that tracks the
  state of the bathroom throughout the party. It may be necessary to empty the
  trash once or twice before the night is over and to restock toilet paper and
  paper towels.
    
• Make sure there are ample receptacles for trash
  conveniently located throughout the party.
   It’s not a party without great food
  and thirst-quenching drinks, but trash can pile up quickly. You can determine
  strategic and discreet places to put extra trash cans, especially close to
  food stations or other areas where people are likely to gather so you don’t
  find chicken bones in the windowsill at the end of the night.
    
• Clean the kitchen and refrigerators before and
  after the party.
   Hygienic food storage and prep areas
  are crucial to protecting the health of your guests and employees. Make sure
  the fridge has been cleaned out and is ready to receive an abundance of food
  and drinks prior to the party.
