Back-to-the-office cleaning tips
After a year of remote work and countless virtual calls, people are now getting back to the office. Therefore having a clean workplace is important to make your employees feel at ease and confident as they return. The following office cleaning tips can help keep your work environment safe.
- Place sanitation stations around the office
Add hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and trash cans by all entrances or high traffic areas to encourage healthy habits.
- Practice proper cleaning and disinfection at employee desks/ workspaces
Disinfect phones, keyboards, and other office items that people touch frequently. Clean computer screens and dust keyboards and mouses as well.
- Restock paper towels, hand soap, and other hygiene items in bathrooms and kitchens
These two common areas must be clean at all times, as they are often visited by employees. Make sure to clean and disinfect the toilets and sinks, mirrors, and kitchen appliances such as microwaves, toasters, and refrigerators.
- Sweep, mop, and vacuum your floors frequently
Vacuuming carpets and rugs daily helps pick up dirt and debris. Make sure to utilize a safe disinfectant cleaner to mop the floors.
- Other safety recommendations
Use office partitions or walls to separate employees and give them distance. If you don’t have space to do this, you can opt for plexiglass shields as dividers, they help prevent the spread of infection. Reduce the number of employees in workspaces at any given time. A good idea is to divide them into groups and assign days that each group will come to the office.
