Office cleaning is no big deal and yet, if it is not done regularly and efficiently, the production of your staff is definitely affected. In a nutshell, a clean office is a happy office and so this article has been compiled as a guide to help to get you increase your profits by performing such a simple task. Crystal Clean Solutions has been around for the last 13 years. We have seen firsthand the effect that a clean office generates and we have countless written testimonies from our customers to prove it.

Step One : Be ready

A mop, vacuum cleaner and brush are not enough. You need to make sure that you have all the equipment that you are going to need for the job. Old cloths, dusters, floor cleaner (or a dry foam carpet solution if you don’t have the easy to clean tiled floors), possibly a toilet brush and refuse bags. While we are on the topic of the toilet, don’t forget the air freshener and disinfectant wipes. Make sure you have some rubber gloves as well since the cleaning fluids can turn nasty if you work with them too long.

Step 2 : Know what needs to be done

Get the windows open! Let some fresh air and sunlight into the room! This alone will give you a better idea of the task you are up against. Look for anything that needs additional attentions such as stains or grease marks. Start at one end of the room and decide how long it is going to take you to finish. Your cleaning equipment should be close by but not in a place that it gets in the way.

Step Two: Get rid of the garbage.

Start by emptying out the rubbish bins and throwing away papers, soda cans, food packets etc and make separate bags available for recyclable and other rubbish. This simple task will make the rest of the job at hand look a lot more manageable.

Phase Four: Move the office equipment and stationery

You need to make sure that all surfaces are clear before you can start cleaning properly. Disconnect lights, printers, calculators, computers and the like. If possible move all of this out to a separate room so that you have more space. Any small furniture such as bins, chairs etc should be moved out of the way and don’t forget to take out anything that might be cluttering up the area like pens, books, stationery etc

Step five: Dust off the entire office.

Now that you have a reasonably empty space (all you should have left is some of the larger furniture) you can start dusting the entire office. Start with the higher areas such as tall bookcases and light shades otherwise the dust that you remove from these will float down to the surfaces you have already cleaned.

Step six: Vacuum anything and everything

The floor should be fairly open by now and, if it is at all possible, try to at least move some of the larger furniture so that you can get around to everything. Since all the dust you have cleaned will now have settled on the floor, vacuum the entire office including furniture, curtains, blinds. If you have any empty cupboards or draws you should even vacuum those. Once all the vacuuming is complete, move all the furniture back where it belongs before continuing.

Step seven: Lay on the magical spray

Everything should now be dust free so take your furniture spray or disinfectant spray and spray all the window sills, furniture and office working areas. Some spray products require you to wait a short while before wiping off the surfaces. Now you can clean all the individual bits of office equipment (computers, lights etc) properly before carrying it back into the office. A little bit of spray and a cloth should be all you need. Be careful with computer monitors that you don’t use a furniture polish on them (you get special monitor cleaner). Finally scent the air with your air freshener and give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
