Office Cleaning Tip: How to Work Efficiently

If your office is in an office building or other establishment, you might have control over the clutter, but the potential for germs is greater because you come into contact with more people. Following is a checklist of office cleaning tip to help you work more efficiently.

1. De-clutter your workspace. This may seem obvious, but you cannot give your office a thorough cleaning if it is cluttered with paper, books, files, or anything else that needs to be put away. Put these away before anything else.

2. Start with your desk. Once your desk is clutter-free, this is the place that needs to be cleaned first. It is the place where you put your hands, where others probably put their hands, and where food or drink is possibly consumed.

3. If you have bookshelves, a work table, chairs, or any other furniture in your office, wipe those down next. Make sure to do edges, as well, not just surfaces.

4. Waste baskets are for wastes and we often forget that they can become some of the dirtiest places in our homes or offices. Every so often, give your waste basket a good cleaning with soap and water or cleaning spray.

5. If you have carpet, vacuum regularly. If you have tiled or another type of hard floor, keep it swept clean and mop at least once a week. If you have a plastic chair roller over your carpet, be sure to clean it as well, using the spray cleaner.

Office Cleaning Tip: Caring for Computers and Electronics

Computers and other electronic devices play a major role in running a business. They are used every so often that they become the dirtiest items inside the room. On top of that, electrical devices easily attract dust, which are barely noticeable if you don't take a good look at it. While it is  good to hire an office cleaning service agency to do all the tough work, you can always do the cleaning on your own by following these steps:

1. Wipe computer screens gently with a soft microfiber cloth.

2. Blow computer keyboards out with compressed air.

3. Clean the entire keyboard by dipping cotton swabs into rubbing alcohol and detailing on and around all of the keys.

4.  Dust the tops of printers and computer towers, fax machines and telephones with microfiber cloths and detail any parts with the cotton swab and alcohol that don't come into direct contact with the electric components.

Make it a habit to clean your computers or other electronic devices before beating up your daily tasks.
