Keeping your office space clean has always been a hot topic. Our introduction to avian flu and COVID made sanitization an essential part of any building with a stream of people. With workers being brought back into the office this year, whether for short periods during the week or the whole week, keeping the office clean can be a big morale boost.

As part of the industry that provides these services, we thought it would be great if we shared some useful tips for local homeowners and businesses in Connecticut through our blog. Most of what we share via Judite General Services blog page can be useful to anyone, anywhere. Feel free to use the information you find on our blogs.

Today we will share some tips that applies to keeping small office spaces clean.

Tip 1: Desk Refresh

If your company wants to show empathy toward employees, keeping clean desks will go a long way. This can be done daily, weekly, or biweekly. End of every day or week would work best to allow a fresh start in the mornings.

Having a neat desk says we care. Freshening the desk can help alleviate some of the stress of being in an office full of people. Office managers can ask employees to tidy up their desk so they don’t lose paperwork if they hire a cleaning company or individual. This will make the desk sanitization ready. Cleaners won’t need to move paperwork or rifle through stacks of confidential information to clean.

Tip 2: High-touch spaces

You can win over your germ-conscious employees by sanitizing spaces that are used often throughout the day. Having a set schedule during the day can help employees plan their movements and spur productivity. This is an especially good strategy if you have employees who need to move around or share workspace with other employees.

Tip 3: Kitchen and breakroom

The kitchen and breakroom are the most intimate places in the office. Though most employees will spend most of their time at a desk, the kitchen and breakroom is expected to be clean. Food, work, and leisure time are enjoyed in most breakrooms. Keeping the area neat and clean throughout the day is one of the best investments a company can make for the health and wellness of employees.

These simple tips can change the culture & morale of your organization. If all else fails, consider hiring a professional cleaner for daily cleaning. A clean space will improve the mood of employees and give germ-conscious employees some relief. The best office is one that proactively shows employees they have their best interests at heart.

Keeping a clean office shows that the company values the health of its employees.
