In car showrooms – as with any other business – first impressions count…

St Anne’s Cleaning recommend the following tips to ensure that your car showroom makes a lasting first impression that leads to customers leaving with a new set of keys and a smile…

The Car Showroom Forecourt…

The outdoor space is the most important, as this is the first thing customers will see.  The forecourt.  Where all the vehicles will be put on display. The reason your customers have come in.

This space needs to be kept clean, and free from debris like leaf build-up that can not only look untidy but also pose a slip hazard. Make sure this is swept daily from any rubbish people may drop and get blown in your area.

Putting down safety mats by the entrance doorway they’ll prevent any accidental slips. particularly on wet days, and they’ll also pick up mud before people walk onto the floor.

Clean between the cars and under them to ensure that the car showroom display space is clean and well maintained for customers.

The Car Showroom Floor…

Most car showrooms have a high gloss tiled or polished floor that can show marks very easily. Use a mop and any specific cleaning products suitable for the floor. Most workplaces with have a commercial cleaning company – such as St Anne’s Cleaning – who will attend routinely to clean your workspace. Ensure that they use the correct cleaning products for the surface they are cleaning and that they also get around and beneath the display, vehicles to carry out a thorough clean.

The Car Showroom Toilet Facilities…

There is perhaps nothing more off-putting to a potential customer than unclean or untidy toilets. As well as being cleaned regularly and often, bins also need to be emptied, and toilet paper and paper towels need to be replaced.

The Coffee Station…

Many car dealerships offer coffee making facilities for customers now. It’s important to keep bench tops clean and tidy. Make sure there is an obvious lidded rubbish bin for disposal of used stirrers, sugar packaging and paper cups.

Wastepaper Baskets…

These can often be overlooked. Have them emptied daily, as overflowing wastepaper baskets can make a dealer’s desk area look very untidy.

Desks…

Make sure your dealers keep their desks free of clutter so they can be wiped down and disinfected daily. Dirty and untidy desks can give customers a less than professional impression of your business. This is where the customer sits down and signs the important paperwork. The tidier it looks the more relaxed the customer will feel.

Car Showroom Windows…

Car dealerships typically have acres of display windows. Make sure your cleaning service includes the windows in their regular cleaning schedule. If you’re experiencing a lot of bad weather, this job may need to be done more frequently. This will keep the windows looking more sparkling.

Stairwells and Escalators

Not all showrooms will have stairways but if you do sweep them regularly, and wiped down handrails with disinfectant, as they can be prime places for cross-contamination of cold and flu viruses.

Door Handles

Make sure that door handles are also disinfected and wiped down regularly – all door handles, not just those accessing toilet facilities.

We hope these tips are useful and that, having read them, you will do the right thing and leave car showroom cleaning to the professionals.
