Keep brooms and mops organised in storage cabinets.

Hang them on hooks to keep the brush heads off surfaces. This will prevent them from picking up dirt while not in use.

You can buy a wide range of brooms and brushes from SMI alongside plenty of other cleaning products.

If you need heavy-duty brooms suitable for outdoor use, check out our street cleansing brushes.

Workplaces such as offices and warehouses should be lightly cleaned every day. Deep cleans should be scheduled once per month.

Daily cleans should involve these tasks:

  • Remove litter
  • Empty waste bins
  • Disinfect high-use surfaces
  • Sweep the floor clear of debris

Deep cleans should include the above tasks as well as these:

  • Disinfect and flush drains
  • Wash the floor with surface degreasers
  • Clean all surfaces, including ceilings and walls
  • Remove dust from surfaces and systems, i.e., vent fan filters

Toilets should be deep-cleaned once a day with suitable washroom cleaning products.

Brooms are brushes with long handles, whereas sweeping brushes have shorter handles and are handheld.
