Between visits from your cleaner, your office may start to become dirty, messy, and disorganized. The first thing you can do to help reduce the mess is to keep your paperwork in order. Office cleaners can tidy up and help keep your office from getting an infestation, but you are in charge of your piles of paperwork. Put new files in a logical place as you get them. If you finish a project, store those files out of the way of new projects. Organize files on your computer as well using a reasonable folder system. Unorganized files or paperwork could cause stress or distractions and make it more difficult to work. Be careful not to keep all of those files you organize, though. Set a limit to how much storage space you will use and stick to that. If your filing cabinet or shelf is full, get rid of any old and unneeded paperwork and files to make room for the new.
Personal additions to the office, as well as decorations and supplies, can quickly pile up and cause you to dig to get to what you need. Keep the number of family photos, free pens, calendars, and knickknacks to a minimum and try to take something home each time you get something new. Supplies and personal additions you keep in the office should be labeled, organized, separated, and given a place where they should stay when not needed. This also means keeping many of your supplies off of your desk and in a drawer or on a shelf. Many people only need a computer, a phone, a couple pens, or other objects of frequent use.
With your office supplies and paperwork out of the way, there is more room to quickly disinfect and dust the office. The best way to judge what has to be cleaned the most is to pretend that you are a client. What would you see in the office and how clean is it? If the client could see it, you’d better clean it. Use disinfectant on your desk, shelves, and other non-electronic flat surfaces. As for your computer, use wipes made to clean screens to remove dust and smudges. Make sure to vacuum or wipe the floors regularly and keep smaller cleaning supplies close enough for quick access. Set aside a few minutes a day for cleaning and organizing your office to maintain the cleanliness between office cleaner visits.
