How to Clean a Wedding Venue

Basic rules for cleaning a wedding venue

• Work from top to bottom: chandeliers, décor and tables first, the floor last.
• Separate the areas: use separate teams and separate cloths for the hall, the kitchen and the toilets.
• Do not mix products: never mix different cleaning products (can cleaning products be mixed).
• Put out wet floor signs: place a wet floor sign on floors that have just been mopped.

Cleaning after an event

• Collect rubbish, bottles and decorations; gather glass bottles in a separate container.
• Sort tablecloths and napkins by stain and send them to the laundry; for tablecloths, see how to wash a tablecloth.
• Wipe tables and chairs with START all-purpose surface cleaner diluted in the amount on the label.
• Sweep up confetti, sequins and broken pieces; vacuum carpeted areas.
• Mop the floor last.

The dance floor and floors

Shoe marks, spilled drinks and sugar residue build up on the dance floor and hard floors. Clean large floors in a floor scrubber with a low-foaming floor scrubber surface cleaner, and areas mopped by hand with START all-purpose surface cleaner diluted in the amount on the label. Use little water on parquet dance floors; for details, see how to clean parquet floors. Do not use acidic products on marble floors; for marble, see how to clean marble.

Carpets and chairs

• Vacuum the venue's carpets after every event.
• Blot drinks spilled on the carpet straight away with an absorbent cloth; on the remaining stain, use TETİK Binbir Stain Remover according to the label.
• For general carpet washing, use carpet shampoo according to the label; for details, see how to use carpet shampoo.
• Wash chair covers and sashes according to their labels; for fabric sofas, see how to clean a sofa.

The kitchen and service area

• For serving plates and glasses, use industrial dishwasher products or TETİK Dishwashing Liquid.
• For burnt-on grease on hobs, ovens and extractor hoods, use START degreaser according to the label; do not use it on aluminium, painted or food-contact surfaces or on electric hotplates.
• Wipe worktops and service trolleys with diluted surface cleaner and rinse.
• Product list for the kitchen: restaurant cleaning supplies.

Toilets

Check the toilets at regular intervals throughout the event. START bathroom and toilet cleaner is applied inside the toilet bowl as on the label; the washbasin, mirror, toilet seat and door handles are wiped with diluted START all-purpose surface cleaner and the soap dispensers are kept full. For details, see the guide how to clean a toilet. Where hygiene is required, follow your business's procedure.

Chandeliers, mirrors and glass

• For chandeliers: how to clean a chandelier.
• Wipe mirrors and glass doors with START glass cleaner.
• For décor and artificial flowers: how to clean artificial flowers.
• Wipe electronic equipment on the stage and sound system only with a dry or slightly water-dampened microfibre cloth.

How to clean an event venue?

Event venues such as engagement, henna night, ball and conference halls follow the same order: rubbish and décor are collected, tables and chairs are wiped, carpets are vacuumed, the kitchen and toilets are cleaned and the floor is mopped last. If there is little time between events, priority goes to spills, toilets and visible surfaces; thorough jobs such as carpet washing and chandelier cleaning are planned for free days.
