How To Clean Your Office Right For The New Year

December 7, 2021   

With 2021 winding down in the coming weeks, chances are your business is winding down with it—or maybe you’ve closed up shop until 2022 comes back around. Whatever the situation may be, chances are it’s been a while that your office has experienced a deep clean. With companies reintegrating their teams back into their office throughout 2021, standardized cleaning procedures have been put in place, but there hasn’t been a truly deep cleanse. Before 2022 rolls around, consider the following tips to ensure that your office is ready for the team when they arrive in 2022.

Reduce Clutter

Over the year, clutter tends to slowly but surely rise throughout the office. From empty boxes to decor, and old computers or stacks of papers that nobody’s looked at in months. It’s time to trash anything that’s not critically important to the operational status of the business. Old and unnecessary documents should be shredded, and any records of value should be saved in storage. 

Have Employees Maintain Their Space

It’s hard to tell what’s important to your employees and what’s trashable, so we recommend implementing a steady cleaning schedule so they can clean down their own station or office. Prior to them leaving the office for an extended period of time, have them take home anything that they’re no longer using to continue reducing the overall clutter. Employees can be in charge of wiping down and maintaining their entire station weekly. This will lead to less heavy cleaning required throughout the year and make it far more manageable when the end of the year cleaning comes.

Hire A Professional Cleaning Company 

Once you’ve managed to clear away all the clutter and every employee’s personal space is maintained, it’s time to bring in a professional cleaning company to handle your end of the year cleaning for the entire office. Deep cleaning the office can provide you with both a sense of pride and peace of mind, knowing that your office is spotless for when the team comes back. Professional cleaning teams utilize a variety of heavy duty equipment designed to really remove any layered in dirt and gunk that’s been caked in over the years.

Having a stunning office for everyone’s return will boost morale and provide your employees with an environment that they feel comfortable in, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic still looming overhead. Additionally, having a space void of any clutter or unnecessary materials will lighten the load on everyone returning, boosting overall productivity through the opening months of the new year.
