How Often Should You Clean Your Office?
A clean and organized workplace can impact efficiency and productivity. So, how often should you be cleaning your office? Here is a brief checklist with recommendations to help keep your workspace tidy a little at a time.
Every 1 to 2 Days
- Tidy up your desk, file away documents, and if you find yourself needing to organize extra papers, a desktop organizer
- Wash any mugs, glasses, or dishes you might have used throughout the day.
- Straighten up any decor in your office.
Weekly
- Throw out any food from the break room fridge that isn’t going to be eaten.
- Disinfect your entire desk surface with either wipes, or with a spray and paper towels (or a microfiber cloth).
- Do some quick dusting at your desk, exposed shelves, windowsills, light fixtures, etc.
- Wipe down your monitor and chair arms.
- Wipe down the keyboard, mouse, doorknob, and phone with a disinfecting wipe, more frequently during winter months!
- If you don’t have a service or staff that vacuums and empties trash, you can do these weekly and replace the can liner while you’re at it.
Monthly
- Pull up window blinds and clean the glass.
- Dust any cobwebs from the corners and walls.
- Replace burned-out light bulbs.
- Organize your drawers.
- Take care of any paper shredding you may have collected.
