Office receptions are often the initial point of contact where companies introduce their business to customers. As a result, creating the correct first impression in this area is essential. However, receptions are busy hubs for most firms and need constant attention to ensure they always look their best. In this blog, we’ll look at four steps that companies can take to make sure their reception remains in great shape and is ready to welcome new clients.
Decluttering the reception area
When reception areas are cluttered they can soon look untidy and make visitors feel uneasy. Removing unwanted items can add space to smaller receptions and create a professional appearance. It is understood that receptions must sometimes store filing and stationery, but make sure that such items are neatly tucked out of sight.
Magazines and company literature can keep waiting visitors occupied and informed but can quickly end up in a disarray. To avoid this, keep options offered up to date and at a minimum. A less cluttered reception is also far easier to clean, promoting higher levels of hygiene.
Attend to your floors
Reception floors typically see the most action in offices. While a high volume of traffic may be good for business it also leads to increased wear on floor coverings, whether you have carpeting or ceramic tiles. From sweeping and mopping to vacuuming, routine floor cleaning is essential to keep receptions looking smart. Door mats can also be ideal for mitigating the spread of outdoor dirt.
Keep your air fresh
Unpleasant odours are not the ideal way to welcome visitors. To stop unwanted smells like leftover lunch and stale coffee, forbid drinking and eating in your reception and don’t position a waste bin in this area. Scent diffusers and oil burners can both be useful to keep the air smelling fresh and welcoming in your reception.
Hiring professional cleaners
All these tips can help enhance your overall visitor experience, but the best option to keep your reception tiptop is to enlist a professional cleaning service.
