One of my (many) pet peeves is a filthy studio. It seems to kind of go with the trade. Creatives are typically messy, disorganized people. That’s okay to an extent, but we can all agree it can be a little much, no? When you have to dig your mixing board out from a mound of magazines and you have weeks-old food laying around, it’s time to clean.
Why should I clean my studio? My clients don’t mind.
First of all, they do. I guarantee it. They may not say anything, but no one likes a dingy, dark studio where you’re afraid to sit down or breathe. Plus, what if you have a new potential client coming over? First impressions are important! Make a good one with a clean studio.
I’d rather focus on creative work.
Cool. I interned at a studio once where an artist traded cleaning services for studio time. See if any of your clients want to barter! If not, you’re stuck. I can help you save time and stay organized.
What’s so great about this checklist?
This is the same checklist I use to keep a spotless studio. If it works for me, I figured it might help you!

Your studio might need something else that my list doesn’t include. Just write your own into it. I recommend putting this in a picture frame, then using dry erase marker to check off each task. Your studio will look awesome, you’ll feel amazing, and your clients will be impressed! Happy cleaning!

Hey Mella,
This checklist is seriously helpful.
I have Office cleaning services in Brisbane and I’m sure this is gonna help me for office cleaning services as well.
Thanks for this.
