As we say goodbye for 2023 and welcome in 2024, it’s the perfect time to give our offices a fresh, clean start.
A clean and organized workspace can do wonders for our productivity and overall well-being. So, where do we start when it comes to getting your office ready for the new year?
If you're based in Victoria, Nanaimo or Vancouver, then Prioritas Property Services can certainly lend a hand. At Prioritas, we believe that cleanliness is not just a task; it's an art form and we're passionate about helping businesses look their best.
If you have an in-house cleaning team, then it's important to have a plan in place.
Here is a helpful, comprehensive checklist to help you start the new year off right with a clean and organized office:
Give Your Office A Thorough Deep Clean
The first step to starting the new year off on the right foot is to give your office a thorough deep clean.
- Tackle those overlooked nooks and crannies
- Wipe down desks and monitors
- Vacuuming carpets
- Scrub down bathrooms and kitchens.
If you don’t have the time to manage this, consider hiring a commercial janitorial service provider like Prioritas.
Declutter Office Desks
Take some time to tidy up your workspace.
- Toss any old papers or items you no longer need.
- Donate any office supplies
- Recycle old electronics
- Dust your office chair
- Refresh your artwork
- Rearrange your workspace
- Clean off your keyboard!
Restock Your Office Cleaning Supplies
Be sure you have all the necessary cleaning supplies on hand to keep your office clean throughout the year. Keep ample stock of paper towels, trash bags, disinfectant wipes, and window cleaner.
Having disinfectant wipes on hand is an easy way to help keep that dreaded office flu from spreading, especially during cold & flu season which lasts until about March.
Set Clear Expectations For Cleaning
To ensure that your office stays clean and organized throughout the year, make sure to establish a cleaning schedule that works for your business and for your employees.
- Implement daily tasks like wiping down desks and taking out the trash, and, depending on your industry and business model, implement weekly tasks like vacuuming and scrubbing bathrooms.
Consider outsourcing these tasks to a professional commercial cleaning company to ensure the work gets done efficiently if you don't have time.
Check Your Air Quality - Check Those Vents & Fans!!
In addition to keeping a clean and organized workspace, it’s also important to consider the air quality in your office.
Poor air quality can lead to unpleasant health issues, such as headaches, allergies, and fatigue. This can increase employee sick time and can even influence employee turnover rate.
By following these simple steps and working with a trusted commercial cleaning service in Victoria like Prioritas Property Services, you can start the new year off right with a clean, organized, and healthy office space.
