Office Fundamentals: Keep it Clean!
A basic principle of running an office is to keep it clean. Employees don’t want to work in a messy, dirty environment and clients certainly don’t want to do business with anyone who can’t even keep the rubbish bins empty and the washrooms clean. Having the right tools on hand to do an effective cleaning job is the first step toward having a clean, sanitary office.
Keep an assortment of cleaning products on hand to handle both everyday messes and those unforeseen needs like deodorizers or bug sprays. Hand soap for the washroom, dish soap for the staff room and a multipurpose cleaner for just about any job is a good place to start in creating a cleaning products supply closet. You should also include basic janitorial supplies like a broom, mop and sponges or brushes.
While you keep the main office clean, it’s important not to forget the washroom. Both employees and clients will use your washroom and you want it to sparkle, shine and stay as sanitary as possible. Stocking a wide array of sanitary supplies for your washroom including soap, toilet tissue, facial tissue and air fresheners is a great start toward keeping it clean and inviting.
Perhaps the most obvious sign of office cleanliness — and one that tends to get neglected — are the rubbish bins. We tend to buy these once and then forget about them even if they have become smelly, unsightly or just plain gross. New rubbish bins with lids and liners will give your office a clean, fresh look and hide away unsightly trash.
Keep your office bright and clean and you’ll have happier employees and clients who want to return to your office. Office1 can help.
