A clean space brings members of the congregation comfort knowing they are worshipping in a safe environment. Today, we’re taking a look at floor cleaning tips for places of worship.

Floor Cleaning Tips for Places of Worship

1. Get the proper cleaning tools.

A hand-held vacuum is great to have around for small messes, but it won’t be effective for cleaning up large spaces. And that mop with disposal sheets for cleaning might not stand the test of mopping an entire chapel. Collecting the right cleaning tools will help make your job cleaning the flooring easier and faster. Consider asking if anyone has any vacuums they no longer need or if they’d like to donate a mop to help fill your supply closet.

2. Clear as much off the floor as possible.

Before pulling out your vacuum, broom, or mop, make the space as clear as possible. If possible, stack the chairs or move them to the side of the room. You will be able to clean the floors much easier if you don’t have to move things around as you go.

3. Vacuum/sweep first, then mop. 

If your congregation has hard floors like tile, linoleum, or hardwood, you should vacuum or sweep before mopping. This way you pick up all of the dust bunnies, crumbs, and dirt before spreading them around with water, making the floor appear dirty when it dries.

4. Enlist help.

Don’t try to take on the responsibility yourself! Many hands make light work. See if you can get a team to help you out after service or on a weeknight. It’s another great reason to have your supply closet stocked with extra supplies!
