As states move into different phases of reopening, many places of worship may be thinking about how to do so safely Commercial Cleaning Corp has put together a cleaning checklist to guide you through procedures when cleaning a church. The COVID-19 pandemic is still a major health threat even though businesses, schools, and churches are getting ready to reopen or increase capacity. The CDC is still urging churches and other places of worship to take precautions to ensure the safety of employees, volunteers, and worshippers to help stop the spread of the virus.
It is important to maintain social distancing guidelines while implementing new policies and procedures for keeping people who visit your church safe and healthy. One way to do that is to come up with a cleaning protocol that covers daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, and annual cleaning tasks. We know this can be an overwhelming task for many people so, we have created a convenient and easy-to-use Church Cleaning Checklist to help you reopen or increase capacity with confidence.
Download the checklist today and begin preparing to open your place of worship today.
This checklist includes cleaning and disinfecting tasks on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, and annual basis. This downloadable checklist is meant to be hung up where those responsible for cleaning can have access to it and check off tasks as they complete them.

Church Cleaning Checklist
Churches and other places of worship experience frequent visitors, including volunteers, worshippers, and staff. To maintain the chastity and the sanctity of the church while maintaining good health standards for all occupants, regular cleaning is essential.
Churches and other places of worship tend to be large spaces for accommodating large groups, making the task of daily, thorough cleaning difficult. Yet, several daily cleaning tasks are a must, including dusting and mopping floors, and cleaning and disinfecting the kitchen and bathrooms. Having a checklist can help make the cleaning process more efficient when it comes to daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, and annual tasks. We have created a convenient and easy-to-follow checklist of tasks that will help you keep your place of worship clean, healthy, and safe for all visitors and staff. You can download this checklist and hang it up in the church office so staff and volunteers can easily keep track of what needs to be done.
