How often cleaners are required to clean facilities comes down to the type of business and traffic they experience. For example, companies in the retail and hospitality industries often require daily cleanings to maintain a polished image, attract customers, and encourage return business. Office cleaning does not have the same intensity, which is why many of our clients prefer that our professional cleaning be done weekly or fortnightly.

It is well known that a clean and tidy office environment will increase hygiene, improve company morale and improve customer relations. This in turn leads to an increase in productivity. That’s why we’ve put together a list of practical tips for keeping your office clean and tidy between visits from your professional cleaners:

1.tidy desks: Keeping a tidy desk helps with work performance and productivity. It also allows the desktop to be thoroughly cleaned. Use items that will keep things organized, such as desk storage drawers, desk organizers, pencil holders, in-out baskets.

two.Wet wipes: Keep wet wipes or disinfectant and paper towels close at hand to clean up any accidents, spills, coffee marks that you may leave during the day.

3.Food Storage/Disposal: Food is often a source of odors within the office. This can be reduced by making use of suitable storage facilities, such as a kitchen drawer or refrigerator. Dispose of food in containers located in the kitchen or outside the office area instead of at your desk.

Four.hang items: Throwing clothing on chairs or desks makes the office look messy and unkempt. Use cabinets or, if you don’t have them, use hooks or coat racks.

5.Cabinets: After any work is completed, archive any documents/folders that are no longer needed. Try to keep the output tray clear as well. It not only makes your desk look tidy, it creates order and allows you to feel in control.

6.Cups of coffee: Most people enjoy a cup while working, some can’t work without one. If you fit into this category, use coasters to avoid coffee rings on your desk and return the mugs to the kitchen and clean them. Don’t leave dirty cups on your desk.

7.pick up trash: Garbage lying on the floor makes the office look messy and even chaotic. Some suggestions, keep the bin close, avoid going to the long hoop shot – it’s amazing how many of us take bad shots and then are too lazy to pick up after ourselves. Be sure to pull the staples out of the container instead of letting them fall to the floor and embed themselves in the carpet. Empty the container when it is full, do not allow it to overflow.

8.Air freshener/Incense: An odorous office is unpleasant for staff and visiting clients. Combat these odors with air fresheners or incense as some of my clients often use.

9.Avoid office clutter: The order applies not only to the desktop, look at the entire office space. Throw away any unwanted items that may be on the shelves or on the floor. Folders and boxes lying on the floor for months are common. If they are not needed, move them to where they belong. This helps prevent tripping hazards, allows cleaners to clean carpets better, and keeps your office looking presentable.

10Start again: Before you start your day, take a few minutes to tidy up your desk and office. You’ll appreciate it the next day and if cleaners need to come that night, they will too.

Follow these simple tips, make it a routine, and your office will stay hygienic and tidy throughout the week, not just following professional cleaners. Remember, a clean office promotes a healthy work environment, improves job performance, and supports better customer relationships.
