Commercial buildings are places where big volumes of people come and go all the time.  They are either people working for the tenant businesses occupying office spaces in the commercial building, or they could be their clients.  Whoever they are, they are people who are vital to the operations of the tenants in the building.
 
The problem is that people create messes and clutter even though they hate them a lot.  They would not visit a place that is dirty and full of clutter.  Since businesses renting space in a commercial building need people to come to them, it is up to the building management to ensure that the building is a pleasing place to go to.  One way the building management could do it is by keeping the building smelling crisp and clean.
 
That task is easy enough, and here is how.
 
1. Hire an excellent cleaning company.  A commercial building should have its own in-house staff to handle immediate cleaning tasks.  However, its management should hire a professional cleaning company that will undertake regular thorough cleaning of the building.
 
2. Schedule daily cleanings and deep cleanings.  Chores like dusting, vacuuming and floor polishing should be done every day.  However, deep and thorough cleanings should be done as well on a weekly or monthly basis. These deep cleanings will address tougher cleaning tasks that cannot be done on weekdays.
 
3. Attend to cleaning emergencies immediately.  Messes, such as coffee spilling on the carpet, are inevitable.  Special cleaning services may be needed to deal with the results of these messes with finality, but if cleaning "first aid" is applied at once, serious damage to carpets, furniture, rugs or upholstery may be prevented.
 
4. Provide waste bins or recycling bins.  Visitors would be less inclined to leave trash around if there are waste bins or recycling bins very much visible and accessible to them.
 
5. Implement the "no smoking" rule.  It is against the law to smoke in public places, but some people will still try to get away with it.  Cigarette smoke leaves an odour that many people find unpleasant, and this odour can cling to fabrics.  And then, there would be the issue of discarded cigarette butts, ashes and accidental burns to rugs and furniture.  To prevent these, implement the "no smoking" rule.
