The office can become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs. Cleaning and disinfecting your desk regularly will prevent you from getting sick and help you stay focused. You can clean dirty areas in your office by using the following tips:

Dusting

Wipe down all surfaces with a microfiber cloth. You can clean your desk by removing all papers, files, calendars, staplers, and other items. You should not overlook power strips behind your desk, fan blades, and window sills.

Vacuum

Vacuum all surfaces on your desk and in your office using the upholstery brush, narrow attachment, and carpet attachment alternately. If you missed dust while vacuuming, make sure to remove it with a cloth.

Disinfect

When we sit at our desks, we touch a lot, creating new groups of micro-bacteria with every keystroke, mouse click, and phone call. Disinfect the office phone and mouse, including the keypad, and headset.

Be consistent

Set a reminder in your calendar to organise and clean your desk every week or bi-weekly. It will be easier the next time you clean. You can even keep disinfectant wipes at your desk to give everything a quick clean-up.

How to organise properly

• Get rid of clutter and organise your desk. A well-organised desk can help you relax and organise your thoughts. You will feel less stressed and more productive.
• Clear out the clutter that doesn’t belong.
• You should have two sections on your desk, one for computer work and the other for non-computer-related work.
• Zip ties can be used to tie electrical cords together, preventing them from becoming a cord nest.
• To make it easier and more efficient to recycle paper and trash, keep a trashcan close to your desk.
• Toss trash and recycle papers easily and efficiently by keeping a trashcan near your desk.
• To save space and make it easier to separate documents, stackable document trays can be used: one tray for mail, one tray for documents that require signatures, one tray for documents that must be filed, etc.
• Use walls to hang whiteboards or shelves when you are running out of drawer or desk space.
