Have you heard the saying ‘Clean House. Clean Mind’? What about ‘Clean office. Clean Mind’?

Well, I might have made up the second one…but it is just as important to keep your workspace decluttered so your mind is clear to focus on your work.

A clean office is of vital importance when it comes to a business. It improves productivity, creativity, focus, health and your business’s reputation so it really is important to get your office cleaning sorted.

Here are a few office cleaning tips that might come in handy:

  • Keep a stock of your office cleaning essentials.
  • Try to keep everywhere tidy by having a well-organised office so that everything has its own place, and use labels if necessary.
  • Don’t over clutter your desk! Limit the number of items on your desk and remove anything that isn’t used frequently.
  • Every once in a while, move furniture so you can clean behind it. You never know what might be lurking!
  • Wipe your keyboard and monitor or laptop daily, especially if you eat lunch at your desk. There are an alarming amount of germs on a computer keyboard.
  • Similarly, try to also clean your office phone daily. Spray cleaner on to a cloth and wipe the handset and unit.
  • Empty the bins regularly to reduce smells and germs.
  • Vacuum frequently, especially in the areas where people eat.
  • Clear out the fridge regularly and discard any out-of-date food.
  • Don’t let food splashes dry up in the microwave…clean it immediately.
  • Encourage employees to wash up their plates, cups etc daily.

If you take care of your office cleaning in-house, make sure that your employees are aware of their responsibilities.

And if you need a little help, you may want to think about hiring a company that offers commercial cleaning services such as PCS, please contact us for more information.

Until next time,
