While most businesses employ commercial cleaning services to vacuum the floors or take care of their garbage disposal, it's important that your employees do their part in keeping their areas clean and professional looking. Below, we've compiled our top 5 ways to keep your office looking that way all the time.
1.?Set-Up Cleaning Groups: Assign a team of employees who is tasked with cleaning common areas like the break room or storage room. Rotate this team monthly or on weekly basis so everyone has an opportunity to participate.
2.?Encourage Eating in the Lunch Room and Not at the Desk: Avoid crumbs and stains by encouraging your employees to eat in the lunch or break room and not at their desk. Even if they're just taking a break, by encouraging your employees to go to a specific spot to eat, you will avoid any potential messes or mishaps.
3.?Disinfect Everything: The office space is a cesspool of germs and bacteria. Make sure to regularly disinfect your office furniture with disinfectant wipes or sprays. Creating this habit will also force you to clean up your desk and toss anything you don't need.
4.?Reorganize Work Spaces: Examine your office or your employees' work space and see if the current arrangement is causing any issues with cleaning. Sometimes rearranging a work space is all a person needs to keep a tidier desk.
5.?Establish Waste Protocol: Make an effort to establish an office protocol for disposing of sensitive documents, recyclables, trash and electronics in the office. Reinforcing a disposal system will help maintain your office's efficiency and cleanliness.
