Keep reading to discover the most important areas to clean regularly in your retail store.
The Entry Way
The first impression of your store is in the entryway and store windows. Don’t give your customers a bad impression by neglecting to clean your store. While you may overlook the entrance, it’s one of the most important spaces of the store. A neat and organized entryway can create a positive experience for the consumer, influencing them to return. Add a mat to help collect dust and dirt to prevent customers and employees from tracking mud throughout the store.
Your Sales Counter(s)
Your sales counter is another important area to clean in your retail store regularly. Your employees and customers utilize this space every day, which can accumulate dirt, germs, grime, and more. Ensuring that you clean your POS system and countertops will help give your customers a better checkout experience. If you have products on your counter, ensure you neatly organize them to help influence last-minute purchases.
Changing Rooms
Have you ever entered a changing room that looked like a tornado ran through it? Was it a pleasant experience? Give your customers the best try-on experience by disinfecting your changing rooms, making sure they smell good, and organizing them. Neglecting to clean these rooms can lead to clothes piling up and sometimes make theft easier.
The Store’s Floor
You should mop, sweep, and vacuum the store’s floor every night. Your floors are a great indicator of whether someone keeps their space clean. If your customer looks around the store to find tracks of mud or large dust bunnies in the corner, they can assume that you and your employees don’t clean around the store often. Keeping your store clean can lessen the chances of buildups and bugs gathering.
