Commercial End of Lease Cleaning Tips – Canberra
If you’re vacating a business premises, commercial end-of-lease cleaning in Canberra is worth investing in. Commercial end-of-lease cleaning saves time and reduces stress levels for lessees and lessors alike. In this blog article, we provide some end-of-lease cleaning tips, as well as general advice for businesses on the move.
Have a Plan
A good, simple plan makes vacating a business premises much easier. Vacating is a straightforward process if you follow these steps: remove all equipment, furniture, and personal effects; dispose of any rubbish (don’t forget to recycle if you can), and then clean the premises from top to bottom. Sleek Cleaning Services can assist any business with its end-of-lease cleaning requirements in Canberra, including rubbish removal.*
* Sleek Cleaning Services doesn’t remove hazardous or unduly heavy / bulky rubbish.
Choose a Reputable Commercial Cleaning Provider
A reputable commercial cleaning provider is essential for quality end-of-lease cleaning in Canberra. Such a provider will have the staff, equipment, and experience required to do a proper job. Sleek Cleaning Services is a fully insured commercial cleaning provider specialising in end-of-lease cleaning. From bathrooms to kitchens and workspaces, Sleek cleans it all.
Don’t Disconnect the Utilities Prematurely
A commercial cleaning provider requires access to electricity and water. Don’t make the mistake of disconnecting these utilities prematurely and then having to get them reconnected at the old address. The ideal time to disconnect is a day or two after the final site inspection, just in case any additional cleaning work is required.
Get Floors Professionally Cleaned
Upon vacating, landlords and property managers typically expect carpets to be steam-cleaned and hard floors to be scrubbed and buffed to a professional standard. A reputable commercial cleaning provider, such as Sleek Cleaning Services, has access to professional carpet steam-cleaning equipment and scrubbing / buffing machines.
Don’t Forget the Windows, Walls, Ceilings, and Car Spaces
In the rush to vacate a business premises, lessees sometimes forget to clean the windows, walls, ceilings, and car spaces (if applicable). Cleaning these fixtures requires specific equipment, such as safety ladders, heavy-duty brooms, and pressure cleaners. As an end-of-lease cleaning specialist in Canberra, Sleek Cleaning Services has this equipment.*
* Sleek Cleaning Services only cleans internal windows and ground-floor external windows.
Inform Customers and Suppliers
Customers and suppliers should be kept in the loop. Ideally, details of a move or closure should be communicated via a website message, as well as a direct email (a service like Mailchimp can assist here). Customers and suppliers alike will appreciate the professionalism and courtesy – leading to continued patronage.
Change Business Address on Digital Assets
Many businesses, especially face-to-face ones, have their street address listed on their website, Google Business Profile, Facebook page, and LinkedIn profile – not to mention White Pages and other directory services. Existing and prospective customers will appreciate these digital assets being updated quickly.
PS – When reordering stationery, don’t forget to change the address and any other information on letterhead, business cards, and forms.
Additional Tips
Some other things to consider when vacating a business premises are:-
- Redirect the mail (if applicable).
- Consider what happens to the main telephone number during the move (is a network diversion required in the short-term?).
- Update insurance policies and business records with relevant authorities, including the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
Moving business premises and organising end-of-lease cleaning in Canberra is inherently stressful. That’s why it’s imperative to be flexible and stay calm (as humanly possible).
