Declutter
One of the first steps to take is to get rid of excessive and unneeded items. An office cannot function well if there are files, furniture, stationery, products, etc. scattered everywhere because it makes things tough to find and clean. Get rid of all the useless items – throw them away or recycle everything using a regular pick up service, bins that are found in your area or by contacting your local recycling depot. You may also be able sell some of these items and make extra money. Charity stores may be able to sell your goods, so consider donating them. Storage is another option that allows you to reuse items later if needed.
Schedule Cleaning Services
Schedule the regular cleaning services on daily, weekly and monthly basis. Get your staff involved by rewarding them for keeping their workplace clean. Have cloths, mops, brushes, bin bags, etc. stocked so that they can clean up any mess the moment it occurs.
Be Prepared to Host Meetings and Events
If you host meetings and other events on a regular basis be prepared for the mess they can create. Have napkins, disposable cutlery and cups available so they will be used when eating and drinking. Have bins around so trash is disposed properly. Keep guests confined to certain areas to stop mess from spreading and remove items that can break or fall over easily. Tackle any spill as soon as it occurs to prevent stains that are hard to clean.
Keeping an office clean can be tough, but the above tips can help keep a well maintained workplace.
