Cleaning Service Columbia tidies up lots of different rooms. The home office isn’t one that jumps to mind when you think of cleaning challenges, but nevertheless it presents them.
It’s easy to forget your office when there are bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms to clean. They’re the priority, right? But spending time in your home office is more pleasant when it’s clean and tidy. You’re more productive too when you work in a clean space.
Here is what we suggest…
Cleaning Service Columbia top tips for home offices
- De-clutter. It’s easy to let papers, books and more pile up. Get rid of what you don’t need or buy sets of box files to keep papers together. This makes them easier to find when you need to.
- You can make decluttering easier by throwing away anything you already have on your computer. Scan documents in too and store them in the cloud, instead of your office.
- Remove everything that doesn’t belong in there. The home office can end up as a repository for rubbish—old fitness equipment, clothing and more. Think of the room as the place where you work and dump the non-work-related items.
- Check your hardware. The computer or laptop and the printer get dusty quickly. Wipe them thoroughly and use those air dusters to clean keyboards.
- Hang those pictures properly. Family photos, certificates and paintings should take pride of place on the walls so you can look at them and feel happy.
- Once you’ve decluttered, dust the surfaces. We’re all guilty of not dusting the home office regularly and there will be a build up of dead skin tissue, hair and more.
- Try disinfectant wipes. Offices can harbor germs. A wipe over door handles, equipment and your desk helps kill them.
- Don’t eat in your office. It sounds strict, but food makes offices messy and unhygienic. Besides, you should give yourself regular screen breaks so eating breakfast, lunch and snacks away from your computer is beneficial.
