Top Tips to Keep Your Office Clean Around The Year

1. Top Tips To Keep Your Office Clean Around The Year The average Australian worker spends almost 42 hours per week at their workplace. While the COVID-19 pandemic has seen many office workers now working from home , it has also shown us how important it is for our spaces to be clean and sanitary, all year round. When the workers eventually make it back into the office, they now expect to have a visibly hygienic and clean workspace and employers can no longer skimp on either deep or more regular, everyday cleaning. If you’re an employer wondering how to go about office cleaning and keeping it sanitary all through the year even in areas with high footfall, here are a few tips to help: 2) FOCUS ON THE COMMON AREAS High touchpoint areas, such as the fridge and microwave handles, keyboards and mice, doorknobs, printer buttons, and spaces like the toilet and pantry need to be cleaned and sanitised regularly to prevent diseases spreading. 1) KEEP DESKS ORGANISED The very first place that accumulates germs, bacteria and gives your office a neglected, unkempt look is a messy desk. Make it a habit for your employees to declutter their office desks at the end of every week. As soon as all the stray paperwork has been sorted, you’ll immediately notice a marked improvement in the appearance of your workplace. from 3) VACUUM AND MOP THE FLOORS The high footfall your floors see leave behind copious amounts of dust and dirt, which can accumulate over time and may lead to the spread of disease. It is important to vacuum all carpets at least once a week, followed by a deep cleaning every few months. 4) CLEAN WINDOWS ARE THE KEY Your store or office may have been cleaned from top to bottom, but if the windows were neglected, it might as well have all been for naught. Dirty, water-stained and streaked windows are a bad look for any business, but especially for store windows, since they’re literally the vessels a customer will use to look at your products before even stepping inside! 6) DON’T FORGET THE CRACKS AND CORNERS 5) EMPTY TRASH BINS AND WASTEBASKETS Encourage all employees to empty out their wastebaskets at the end of the day. All waste from the premises should be removed before closing up for the day, especially that in the kitchen and toilets. Germs and bacteria can grow in trash bins, and rotting food can leave a foul, lingering odour in the room which can persist even after the offending item has been removed. The gaps between two desks, between the windowpane and the ledge, under the furniture, behind the kitchen equipment and on the skirtings are some areas that are often forgotten but can trap dust and dirt over time. Every once in a while, all furniture in the office or store should be moved to give it a good, deep cleaning.
