6 Tips to Keep Your Office Clean and Tidy This Spring

Making the effort to keep your office clean and tidy this spring offers many benefits. From improved productivity to increasing employee wellbeing, implementing thorough cleaning processes is only going to be advantageous for everyone in the office. 

Of course, after a long time away from the workplace, it’s understandable that many of us have become complacent with office cleaning. So, check out these six tips below to help you keep your office clean and tidy this spring:  

Keep Desks Tidy

Eliminating clutter from office desks is one of the quickest ways to make the space feel cleaner and more open. A lack of clutter means you can quickly find any important items, saving time and effort searching for things that help you increase your productivity and efficiency. 

Moreover, a clean and tidy desk is always going to be a better working environment, improving wellbeing and satisfaction whilst working. 

Don’t Eat at Your Desk

While many of us like to eat lunch, breakfast, or snacks at our desk, this really only causes more issues than it solves. Yes, you can save some time by doing a spot of work while you eat, but this is going to make your workspace feel dirty and unhygienic a lot faster than if you ate your food away from your desk.

Furthermore,  using the designated area for eating  gives you an opportunity to take a break from your work mindset, helping to avoid issues like overworking and burnout. Everyone needs to spend some time away from a desk and screen!  

Keep Essential Items Organised

By identifying the items you use most days, you can better organise your workspace, keeping essential items in reach while tidying away anything that doesn’t get used too often. This makes it easier to keep your tidy desk free from clutter, while also having fast access to the items you use most, increasing productivity. 

Clean the Floor

Office floors naturally see a lot of foot traffic which leaves them covered in dirt, dust, and possible slip and trip hazards from spilled food and drink. This is not just unsightly, but also unhygienic, giving bacteria and other pathogens the chance to spread throughout the office. 

It is therefore essential floor cleaning is carried out on a daily basis as it immediately makes the office feel much cleaner and more hygienic, greatly improving employee morale. 

By providing staff with a clean and tidy office, you ensure they feel positive about their working environment, which further increases productivity, efficiency, and overall job satisfaction. 

Make Sure to Dust Everywhere

Dust quickly accumulates around the office through daily use, and while a lot of it is cleaned daily, some areas are easily missed. Hard to reach areas like above lights and the tops of door frames are often missed, causing dust build ups that create an unpleasant environment, especially for people with allergies.

Thus taking the time to dust the workspace thoroughly will keep the workplace feeling fresher and more hygienic. Employees will certainly appreciate it, as well as any visitors you have. 

Hire a Commercial Cleaning Company

Taking the time to clean and tidy an office is often easier said than done. It takes time, patience, and cleaning knowledge to do the job to the highest standard, which is why it’s often a good idea to outsource this to a commercial cleaning company.

Professional cleaning companies will quickly clean and tidy your office, addressing the daily dirt that builds up over time if left unchecked. This means you get all the benefits of a clean, hygienic office without the hassle of cleaning it yourself!

Moreover, cleaning companies work around your busy schedule, meaning they can have the office clean and tidy at a time most convenient for you!
