Cleaning around your office might be easier than you think, with preparation and little know how, you can save time and maintain a clean an office. Here are our top 5 office cleaning tips to save you time.

Disinfecting Wipes: Germs love to build up around the office, especially on telephones, desktops, and keyboards. We recommend keeping a container of disinfecting wipes at your desk and on occasion wipe down your desk and electronics. What makes this a good time saver is that you don’t have to leave your desk to clean!

Purchase Cleaning Supplies: Every office should find an area to store cleaning supplies in case they are needed. For example, if someone spills a coffee and there are no cleaning supplies available it could turn into stain. We recommend purchasing a variety of cleaning supplies and letting employees know where they can be accessed. For a great green cleaning alternative keep a spray bottle filled with distilled white vinegar. Vinegar is a great disinfectant and stain remover.

Microfiber: Microfiber cloths are a great cleaning tool to have at your desk. Microfiber cloths are good as removing dust and cleaning up spills. On occasion you should use a microfiber cloth to remove dust around your desk and electronics. Dust can be bad for your health and bad for your electronics. Microfiber technology is also very absorbent and can help absorb and clean up and accidental spill.

Microwave: Cleaning the office microwave can be a time consuming task because food particles harden and get stuck on the walls and rotating plate of the microwave.  To clean your microwave fast place a cup filled with water and vinegar and turn the microwave on for around 3 minutes. The steam will loosen stuck on food particles while the vinegar will disinfect the microwave. The last step is as easy as whipping away the food particles and debris with a microfiber cloth.

Hire A Cleaning Company: The best way to save time cleaning around the office is to hire a professional cleaning company. When choosing a cleaning you should find one that can provide multiple cleaning services such window cleaning, carpet cleaning and floor maintenance. They should also be able to schedule such services on a regular basis and work with your cleaning schedule and budget. A professional cleaning service is a great way to save time cleaning the office.
