If you’re running a business, keeping your office clean is an absolutely vital part of day-to-day operations. Office cleaning might not be glamorous, but it’s necessary for encouraging productivity among your workforce, as well as impressing any VIPs who come to visit.
Smaller operations may be trying to do their office cleaning on their own, in an effort to save money. It isn’t easy, but staff can keep up their cleaning – if they’re thorough and smart about how they go about it.
Four Ways to Help Keep Your Office Clean
- Encourage employees to proactively prevent clutter
“A place for everything, and everything in its place,” as the old saying goes. Cleaning becomes far easier if you don’t allow your office to become cluttered in the first place since clutter creates havens for dirt and bacteria. Employees should be encouraged to keep their desks tidy and return any shared items to designated spots.
This won’t only make cleaning easier; it’ll also directly improve productivity!
- Buy multipurpose cleaning supplies
When it comes down to it, soap is soap. Manufacturers love to produce specialty cleaning products, but most of the time, all you need is a single high-powered antibacterial cleaning product to do 90%+ of all cleaning around the office. Don’t fill up a cabinet with specialty products when you can just get a big jug of all-purpose cleaner at ‘big box’ stores like Costco.
- Clean from the top down
This is one of the most important tips for any kind of cleaning, in any environment. Always start at the top of the room and work your way downwards. That way, any dust or debris that falls won’t ruin work you’ve already done. The floor should be the last thing that gets cleaned.
- Think you’re done? Look at ground level.
It’s very easy to overlook materials which have fallen underneath cabinets, A/V equipment, and similar low-to-the-ground items. The only way to spot these messes is by getting low to the ground and getting your eyes as close to the floor as you can.
