Large offices can quickly become messy and dirty thanks to a busy work environment. Cleaning your office regularly will make your office feel fresh, friendly, and look professional.
A clean office is also very important for you, this can increase productivity, creativity, and focus and be positive in terms of health.
This time we will provide a review of how to clean the office easily and practically. Therefore, let’s just take a look at the review below!
1. Organizing Items That Need Tidying Up
One of the most annoying things that often happens in the office is a pile of papers on your desk or on your shelf, they can easily fall and scatter on the floor. This is a bad problem because you need to start stacking papers for filing. But before that, you have a pretty big cleanup task to handle.
The key is to process or tidy up the paper before you get home from work. Set up a clearly labeled system of containers or file folders and familiarize yourself with them. The same goes for your computer desktop.
Try to follow these guidelines:
– Utilize filing cabinets and separate files according to customer profiles, product specifications, vendor information, estimates, work orders, invoices, and more. Be sure to properly label all items and develop a consistent (alphabetically) filing method.
– For documents that need to be stored long-term (for immediate or ongoing reference), keep a wall bag or separate container handy. They will keep important documents within reach while still maintaining a clean workspace.
– To save space, consider archiving old or obsolete files that are not used often. Previous customer files can be sent to storage facilities, which can make space less cramped and reduce the number of items that need to be cleaned.
Basically, the key to organizing things is getting each item to the right place. They not only need to be stored, they also need to be labeled, so they can be easily found and retrieved by your office mates when needed.
Keep in mind that new items will be added from time to time, so you need to make sure there is enough space for new archives when you start organizing and assigning storage places for them.
Also, get rid of any free stuff you’ve gotten, and never use items from vendors or sales reps that you can’t use anymore.
2. Clean Your Electronics
Are you a person who often snacks while working? So oftentimes food gets splashed onto your monitor and keyboard and then they get filled with snack crumbs. Fortunately, this only needs to be taken care of with a simple cleaning.
Go to the nearest cleaning supply store. Take some wipes made specifically for electronic equipment and spend a little time cleaning the dirt from your keyboard and monitor every day so you don’t have to buy a new computer or gadget because of damage caused by food/drink splashes.
This method will not only clean your computer of dust and dirt but will also help prevent germs from multiplying.
Here are some guidelines for keeping computers and other office equipment clean and well-maintained:
– Clean the computer screen gently with a microfiber cloth.
– Use a special vacuum cleaner to clean the dirt that has entered the keyboard gap.
– When finished, clean the keyboard with cotton that has been doused with alcohol. Use a rag to clean small crevices. Don’t forget to clean the bottom of the keyboard. These are the areas that are most often forgotten and tend to be breeding grounds for germs.
– Also clean the top of the computer, telephone, and printer machine with a microfiber cloth. Just like a computer keyboard, this device needs to be cleaned in detail using a cotton swab that has been doused with alcohol. Always unplug the unit before cleaning and try not to come into contact with electrical components.
3. Clean Your Desk
Your desk may turn into a dining table in no time. Suddenly the workspace is transformed into a place where everything is stored and you need to quickly tidy it up to continue your work.
A clean desk guarantees better productivity, so do you have enough time to take a break and clean up your desk? The key is to schedule cleaning every day and make this something you can’t miss.
In the last week of the working day, the room and desks need to be cleaned so as not to create a disgusting mess and mess. Tables need to be cleaned every week. If too dirty, the table needs to be cleaned every day with a thorough cleaning.
Make sure that before leaving, the work table must be free of stains, crumbs, and leftover food. This should be done monthly unless you have a work environment away from the break room or employees are permitted to eat at their workplace. In this case, professional cleaning done by a professional cleaning company should be done weekly to prevent rodents, insects, mold, bacteria, and germs from growing.
Here are some guidelines for cleaning your desk thoroughly:
– All seats must be empty and free of dust, stains, and food crumbs.
– If you have reading material (brochures, pamphlets, books, or magazines) you can display it in the waiting area for customers, make sure it is neatly organized and kept up to date.
– Furniture, windows, curtains, wall hangings, plants, knick-knacks, and shelves need regular cleaning.
– Clean the walls regularly.
– Clean fingerprints and smudges from mirrors, windows, and glass after work.
– Mop or vacuum the floor.
4. Clean Trash
Cute business cards, colorful post-it notes, coffee mugs, calendars, and all the free stuff you just can’t seem to throw away are now strewn all over your desk.
It may seem like a useful item, but it’s actually just clutter that fills up your workspace. This can make you feel guilty about throwing it away. We know it’s hard for you to keep it somewhere else or even throw it away, but learn to say “no”.
Empty your wastebasket every day. Don’t let yourself fall into the habit of simply leaving trash in the trash. This not only makes your office space polluted with an unpleasant odor. But also becomes a breeding ground for germs, bacteria, and many more.
Plus, taking out the trash every day can make your office space. Worthy of visits by clients, prospective employees, or even accidental visiting of executives.
