Office Spring Clean: Simple Tips to Tidy up the Workplace

If you’ve ever taken a good look around your office and thought to yourself “wow, this place needs a clean!” then you’re probably knee-deep in grime, spills and horrible bacteria. Let’s face it, keeping clean doesn’t happen because we suddenly notice that our office is filthy (though it is a good reason to start cleaning) and keeping your office tidy is an ongoing task that all of your employees have to carry out.

Unfortunately, if your office is a complete mess already then you’ll have no choice but to hire something like Cleanworks Commercial Cleaning to give you a helping hand. Once your office is cleaned and freshened up, then you can start drilling in cleaning tips to your employees so that it never reaches that level again.

Let It Out

One of the biggest culprits of a messy office is a packed desk. Whether it’s broken pens and pencils, paper clips or empty ink cartridges, we often hoard things and stuff them into containers and boxes that we never see again. Useless junk picks up dust and sits around to do nothing. Throw all of it away and get rid of broken and old items you don’t need. With EWMDumpsterRental, you can definitely make room for all these junks that need to get out of your workplace. This dumpster rental service can remove all types of trash, making it more convenient for your employees.

Have a spring clean of your office and ask all of your employees to bring out everything hidden on their desks and shelves. Ask them to kindly remove anything they don’t need and recycle or throw it in the bing. Once your desks are clear, you’ll have more room to place things like drinks and they won’t accidentally knock your coffee up over every again.

Get Some Bins

We’ve all been to an office that seemingly forgets to buy a bin to store waste papers and cans. Don’t neglect the importance of keeping a bit close to your employees. You don’t want them to get off their chairs just to throw a piece of crumpled paper away, and you don’t want piles of trash to pile up on their desk either.

Eat Away From the Desk

It’s convenient to take your lunch to the desk and eat it there, but if you’ve ever tried to eat noodles or spaghetti near your computer then you’ll know how messy it can get what sauce splatters across your monitor and keyboard.

Avoid nasty stains and bits of food clogging the desk by asking your employees to eat at the staff break room, kitchen or at a dedicated rest area. Spills can cost offices a lot of money when they damage expensive equipment, and the grime and oil that can splatter onto office equipment can get nasty to clean up if it’s not wiped away immediately. If something does spill (even in dedicated dining areas) then your employees need to quickly clean it up or grab the janitor.

Buy Organizers

For small items such as pins and paperclips, it’s always good to have a small container or desk organiser to store them in. It’s a simple piece of equipment that’ll save you and your employees time and effort when it comes to looking for obscure or small items that are invaluable to your daily jobs.
