Complete Cleaning Strategies For The Holidays
The cleanliness of a retail store is the most important factor that distinguishes it from the competition in today’s market. People do not want to enter an unorganized space that is covered in dust, grime, or dirt. They will immediately walk back out. It was reported that 64% of surveyed shoppers had left a store due to poor physical appearance and disorganization. Also, prior to the pandemic, there was a greater emphasis on disinfecting public spaces.
With so many people turning to online shopping, retail cleaning services must be given even more attention in order to make their in-store experience as warm, welcoming, and idealistic as possible. The answer is yes.
And for that reason, it is extremely important to keep your store clean even during the holidays. Let’s learn some tips with QueenBee below.
-
KEEP YOUR STOREFRONT WINDOWS AND DOORS CLEAN.
As customers approach your store, they will notice whether or not the glass windows or doors are dirty. They may still go inside, but if the interior matches the exterior, they are more likely to leave without making a purchase.
-
SWEEP, MOP, AND/OR VACUUM ON A DAILY BASIS.
You should also spot sweep or vacuum as needed throughout the day and immediately clean up any spills that may occur.
-
KEEP YOUR BATHROOMS CLEAN AND WELL-STOCKED.
On a busy shopping day, have one dedicated staff member check the restrooms once every hour, or rotate the schedule as needed. This keeps the restroom clean and the customers satisfied.
-
DISINFECT HIGH-TOUCH SURFACES CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
People with colds or other germs are still likely to go shopping, whether they are aware of their illness or not. You can’t avoid it, but you can help stop the spread of germs with regular disinfecting practices. Counters, checkout counters, doorknobs, dressing rooms, and bathrooms should all be sprayed and wiped down.
-
KEEP CLUTTER TO A MINIMUM.
Shoppers enjoy being a little sluggish while they shop. They frequently leave clothing on the floor or place unwanted items in unusual locations. Set up stations for unwanted items throughout the store to combat this. You should also patrol the aisles and dressing rooms to ensure that no clothing or other items are left on the floor.
-
REMOVE THE SAP FROM THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
Because it is a solvent, rubbing alcohol can be used to remove sap from washable clothing, knit gloves, and rugs. Saturate the area with alcohol, let it sit for a minute, and then launder in warm water with regular detergent. Heat sets stains, so make sure all of the sap has been removed before using the dryer. Repeat the process if any remains. The dry cleaner is your best bet for sap on a wool coat or leather gloves. For a rug, spot-test first, then apply alcohol with a cloth; blot with clean parts of the cloth until the sap is gone. Look into recycling services in your area so that your tree can be a gift to Mother Nature.

HOLIDAY DECORATIONS SHOULD BE CLEANED AND STORED.
How many of us have opened a box of holiday decorations in November only to discover a tangle of half-broken lights? Prepare for next year’s success by carefully cleaning and storing your decorations. As you take your decorations down, clean them and store them in closed bins, boxes or plastic bags that are clearly marked. While specialized storage containers may appear to be an extravagance, they are intended to protect valuable decorations from dust, mold, and breakage. The term “independent” refers to a person who does not work for the government. By tackling your home one area at a time, you can avoid the decorating frenzy.
-
PREPARE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WINTER.
The holidays may be over, but winter isn’t. Make sure your home is ready for a few more months of snow and mud if you live in a cold climate. Keep a boot tray near the door for soaking wet shoes. Put mats and throw rugs at all entryways. This will help to keep dirt from tracking into your home. Before you know it, it’ll be time for spring cleaning!
