5 Places in the Office You Should Not Forget to Clean

Hello World!  Welcome Friends!  How often do you tidy the office or bring in a team to clean the space? Hopefully, this is something that is done at least once a week. After all, an office is just like a house. People spend a lot of time there and they should be working in an environment that is clean and sanitised. This can help with everything from general health to morale.

But the truth is, there are parts of the office that are often forgotten about when it comes to cleaning. From office chairs to ceiling fan blades, dust and dirt can gather everywhere. So, let’s take a look at five places in the office that you should not forget to clean.

Around an Office Chair

It is common for desks to be wiped down and cleaned on a regular basis. After all, staff are working at them every day. But, there is somewhere that is often forgotten about. We are talking about on and around the office chair. This is somewhere that members of staff sit every day to work and are constantly touching the armrests, buttons and rest of the chair. So, it should be cleaned as often as a desk.

It is simple to clean an office chair. This can involve using a vacuum for dirt, as well as washing up liquid to get rid of any marks and dust. Click on the list to learn how to clean office chairs effectively, as well as read other office cleaning tips.

The Inside of the Microwave

Almost everybody in the office will use the microwave at some point. Whether this is to heat up soup they have bought from the local supermarket or to warm their homemade meal for lunch; a microwave is a sought-after appliance in the staff room. But how often is the inside of it cleaned?

Perhaps there is an office policy that everyone should clean the microwave when they are done. But, in reality, this will not happen. Inside, bacteria can gather from spilt food and odors can develop. So, this has to be a part of the office that is cleaned almost every day.

On Light Switches

Think about how often members of staff are going to touch light switches. If your office does not have automatic lighting, there are going to be rooms that are entered and exited throughout the day and where there is a light switch. Have you ever considered the germs that can gather on light switches, as well as other buttons around the office?

Well, if you want to make sure that your staff stay healthy and the office is sanitary, you need to clean light switches on a regular basis. They should be disinfected so bacteria cannot spread from person to person.

The Blades of Ceiling Fans

If your office has ceiling fans, this is very useful during the summer months. It can save money on air conditioning. But, something you have to be careful of is recirculating dirt and dust. This is going to lower the air quality in the office and there is a possibility that you can make your staff sick if there are bugs going around. What’s more, if someone has asthma, this is not going to be good.

The best way to avoid jeopardizing the air quality in the office is to clean the blades of ceiling fans. A lot of people do not realize how much dust can gather up there. Ceiling fans should be cleaned regularly so that dirt and dust do not have an opportunity to gather.

On Blinds

Does your office have blinds? This is likely somewhere that you have forgotten about when it comes to cleaning. But, it can have an effect on how you are perceived by customers, as well as how your staff feel about working in the office. For example, dust can gather on the blind slats, which can be visible inside the office as well as from the outside. Indeed, it can look worse when the sun is shining through.

So, make sure that you clean the blinds on a regular basis. They can be dusted easily and with a damp cloth. It can be easier to close all of the slats and wipe them all at once, depending on the material they are made from. Yes, this can seem like a tedious task. But it can improve the look of your office and allow people to work and visit a clean space.
