Keeping a facility clean isn’t just about looks — it’s about creating a safe, productive, and welcoming space for employees, clients, and visitors. Whether you manage an office, school, or industrial site, a well-maintained environment boosts morale, prevents illness, and extends the lifespan of your assets.
At PRANU Facility Services, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of cleaning for every type of workspace. Below, we share our top 10 cleaning tips that every facility manager should know to keep their environment sparkling clean and healthy year-round.
1. Start With a Customized Cleaning Plan
Every facility is different — the size, layout, and daily traffic all affect cleaning needs. A common mistake is using a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Pro Tip:
Create a cleaning plan that identifies high-traffic areas, sensitive zones (like restrooms or break rooms), and less frequent spaces such as storage rooms. Set daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning cycles for each.
PRANU Facility Services designs personalized cleaning schedules for every client, ensuring consistency and efficiency without disrupting business operations.
2. Use the Right Cleaning Products for Each Surface
Not all cleaning agents work on all materials. Using the wrong product can dull finishes, damage furniture, or leave behind harmful residues.
Pro Tip:
Always read labels and select products meant for the surface you’re cleaning — for example, pH-neutral cleaners for stone or wood-safe polish for desks.
At PRANU, we only use eco-friendly and surface-safe products to protect your property while maintaining the highest hygiene standards.
3. Focus on High-Touch Areas
Doorknobs, switches, keyboards, and shared equipment are hotspots for germs. Even if a space looks tidy, these areas can spread illness quickly.
Pro Tip:
Disinfect high-touch surfaces multiple times a day using non-toxic cleaning solutions. Provide sanitizing wipes for employees to use between cleanings.
Our teams follow a strict checklist that ensures no touchpoint is ever missed — from elevator buttons to light switches.
4. Don’t Forget Air Vents and Ceilings
Out of sight often means out of mind, but air vents, fans, and ceilings collect dust that can impact indoor air quality.
Pro Tip:
Schedule periodic cleaning of air vents, ducts, and ceiling fixtures to reduce allergens and improve ventilation.
PRANU Facility Services uses HEPA-filter vacuums and specialized equipment to remove dust from high or hard-to-reach areas, helping your team breathe cleaner air every day.
5. Maintain Restroom Hygiene at All Times
Restrooms are often seen as a reflection of how much a company values cleanliness. They need consistent attention and professional care.
Pro Tip:
Use hospital-grade disinfectants, restock supplies daily, and deep-clean restrooms regularly.
Our staff follows health-compliant cleaning protocols to sanitize every surface, leaving restrooms odor-free, fresh, and spotless.
6. Deep Clean Carpets and Floors Regularly
Carpets and flooring take the brunt of daily foot traffic. Even with daily vacuuming, dirt and bacteria settle deep within fibers and crevices.
Pro Tip:
Schedule deep cleaning once every 3–6 months. For hard floors, regular polishing and buffing help maintain shine and prevent long-term wear.
PRANU Facility Services uses advanced steam and extraction systems for carpets and machine scrubbing for hard floors — extending the lifespan of your flooring and enhancing its appearance.
7. Implement a Clutter-Free Policy
Cleanliness and organization go hand-in-hand. A cluttered workspace collects dust faster and makes cleaning harder.
Pro Tip:
Encourage employees to keep desks tidy, store documents properly, and limit personal items on work surfaces.
At PRANU, we provide pre-clean desk organization support, ensuring your team’s workspace remains functional, tidy, and easy to clean.
8. Adopt Eco-Friendly Cleaning Practices
Sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s a responsibility. Eco-friendly cleaning protects both your employees and the planet.
Pro Tip:
Choose biodegradable cleaning products, reusable microfiber cloths, and water-efficient methods.
PRANU Facility Services is proud to lead with green cleaning solutions that maintain hygiene standards without harmful chemicals or waste.

9. Schedule Professional Deep Cleaning Services
Even with regular daily cleaning, deep cleaning is essential to eliminate built-up dirt, grime, and bacteria that daily cleaning can’t reach.
Pro Tip:
Book quarterly or bi-annual deep cleaning sessions with professionals to maintain a high standard of hygiene and prolong your office assets’ lifespan.
PRANU’s deep cleaning programs are tailored to each facility, ensuring every inch of your space — from corners to ceilings — gets the care it deserves.
10. Conduct Regular Cleaning Inspections
Monitoring cleaning performance ensures consistency. Facilities that don’t check cleaning outcomes risk slipping back into poor hygiene habits.
Pro Tip:
Conduct regular cleaning audits, document results, and communicate with your cleaning team for continuous improvement.
At PRANU Facility Services, we perform quality assurance inspections and share transparent reports with clients. This ensures every service meets our gold-standard commitment to cleanliness.
Bonus Tip: Prioritize Employee Health and Safety
A truly clean facility goes beyond shiny floors. It’s about maintaining a safe and healthy space where your team feels valued and protected.
Pro Tip:
Provide sanitizers, promote personal hygiene, and schedule professional cleaning during off-hours to minimize disruption.
When your employees see that you care about their well-being, it reflects in their morale and performance.

| Ignoring air vents | Reduces air quality | Regular vent and duct cleaning |
