Why is event clean-up important?
Guests often forget to dispose of their waste properly during a big event. Once they all disperse, it is common to see the ground completely covered with items that end up in landfills. Venues produce a lot of waste, some of the most common are:
Disposable plastic utensils
Plastic cups and bottles
Plastic food packaging
Food waste
Cigarettes
Not only is waste unsightly, it can quickly become a safety hazard if not dealt with promptly. Food waste can attract pests such as rats, birds, or insects. Cigarettes that are not properly extinguished can become a fire hazard.
You can reduce the amount of waste and your guests’ carbon footprint with green event venues and sustainable event products. However, event cleaning will still be required.
The importance of a clean-up plan
While the aftermath may be at the forefront of your mind, cleaning before and during your event is just as important. COVID-19 may still be a concern for some people, and your guests will expect you to follow proper health and safety guidelines before they arrive.
It’s important to create a pre-event cleaning plan to give you plenty of time to coordinate the rest of the event. However, you shouldn’t try to tackle this yourself and it’s important to consider hiring a professional cleaning service.
When you have a plan in place with a professional cleaning company, you can focus on the other important aspects of a good event. You can leave the heavy lifting to the experts and have a spotless venue for your guests.
How to clean up after a big event
Planning a major cleanup can be a daunting task, which is why it’s important to get started right away. There are several things you can do to make the aftermath easier to deal with:
Encourage your guests to use the bins
Have an event cleaning leader
Make sure bins are available (including in toilets and kitchens)
Include the outside in your plan of action
Have staff to ensure cleanliness throughout
Hiring an event cleaning company can give you some peace of mind when it comes to the end of the event. By creating a plan of action with the cleaning service, you can ensure that the entire venue is covered throughout the day.
Why you should hire a professional cleaning service
By letting a professional event cleaning service handle the job, you won’t have to worry about overstaffing during your event. You may be understaffed, or you may have equipment that isn’t suitable for a thorough clean.
Also, day-to-day cleaners don’t have access to the specialized tools and cleaning products that event cleaning companies provide. These experts can ensure that the entire venue is sanitized, including outdoor areas such as the parking lot.
By hiring a cleaning service, you will maintain your positive reputation and become a brand that everyone can trust and recommend as well. If you consider eco-friendly companies, you will be doing your part for the environment.
