The best way to keep your commercial building in tip-top shape is to address any maintenance issues quickly to prevent bigger problems from occurring. If you establish good communication with your cleaning staff, creating a stronger building maintenance strategy can be easier than you might think.

First, develop your office building maintenance checklist and have it ready for easy reference. Then, schedule a meeting with your janitorial staff to explain your maintenance strategy and protocols. If your cleaning staff understands your maintenance priorities, they’ll be better equipped to alert you to potential issues.

Many of the biggest building maintenance risks can be identified by asking your cleaning staff a few key questions. After each visit, ask your office cleaning crew these four questions from the experts at ServiceMaster Clean to find out if they noticed any threats to your facility.
