5 Easy Solutions to Get Your Office Clean and Organised

February 14, 2018

For busy offices, things tend to pile up and become disorganised quickly. When an office is disorganised, untidy, and unclean, it hinders productivity and can even pose a health risk that can cause employees to become sick and miss work. Not only that, but an unclean office also reflects badly on first impressions when people visit.

When an office is well-organised and regularly cleaned it results in not only higher levels of employee productivity, by not distracting or hindering staff from accomplishing their work, but it also results in less work days missed because of employees calling in sick. There are some easy solutions to get your office clean and organised, here are 5 of them listed below:

1. Designate areas for different types of trash – busy offices generate a lot of trash, increasing the amount of trash bins will help make it easier for employees to throw out what they do not need. Having a bin for biodegradable trash, plastics and recyclables, and a separate bin for paper products will help to keep an office clean and better organised.
   
   This is because many times papers, folders, or other types of office materials that will never be used again can accumulate on on desks and table tops, and these become obstacles for employees to have to work around.
2. Keep desktops clutter free – when there are enough trash cans and bins for recyclables, employees can easily keep their desks, tables, and work spaces clean, which not only helps them accomplish their assigned work, but makes the office appear tidy and clean to visitors.
3. Instruct employees to tidy their work space daily – when employees and staff keep their areas tidy on a daily basis, the whole office benefits. When everyone in your office does their part, keeping an office organised becomes easy.
4. Provide ample file cabinet and shelve space – keeping a large office organised is possible only if there is enough storage available. If there are not enough file cabinets and shelving, then boxes and materials will surely begin to stack up on the floor, desk tops and counter spaces. When that happens, these can get in the way of daily office activity.
5. Hire a commercial cleaner to keep windows, flooring, restrooms, and surfaces clean and sanitised – in busy offices, employees regularly use the same spaces, equipment, seating, computers, and phones. These need to be properly cleaned on a regular basis to eliminate germs from developing and spreading. A clean office is a healthy place to work and will lower the likelihood of employees calling in sick.
