Maintaining a clean office space is essential for providing a healthy work environment for employees and a welcoming atmosphere for customers. A clean and healthy work environment also means efficiency. Having the supplies and equipment you need for a clean office is key! Here are some tips for keeping a clean office space:
Declutter and Organize
The first step in having a clean office space is to declutter and organize. This starts by clearing out cabinets, drawers and desks, throwing away any old or unused items. During this process, you may even find excess, forgotten supplies, which can help cut costs on the next supply order.
After decluttering, put everything away in a logical, organized manner. Sort and store like items together and assign every cabinet or drawer to a specific type of item. For example, dedicate your desk drawers to extra supplies like printer paper, pens and paper clips. Consider investing in more organizational furniture and tools like storage cabinets and shelves, as well as bins and dividers to separate the space. Doing regular purges like this will help you maintain a consistently clean workspace!
Here’s a quick recap of how to declutter and organize your office space:
- Clear the area
- Throw away old or unused items
- Sort like items together
- Assign certain items to specific areas
- Use organizational furniture, storage bins and dividers
Keep Essential Cleaning Supplies on Hand
Having the essential cleaning supplies stocked is crucial for maintaining a clean office space. This means keeping plenty of disinfectants, chemicals, hand soaps, paper products, and trash bags on hand at all times. It’s just as important to keep cleaning tools accessible as well. What good are all your cleaning products without the proper tools and equipment to use them? Always have microfiber cloths, sponges, brushes, mops, brooms, and vacuum cleaners handy for efficient cleaning. Keeping the essential supplies and tools stocked and equipment in good shape makes regular cleaning a breeze!
Establish a Cleaning System
Create a cleaning system that’s tailored to your office’s needs. Every office space is unique and a different size, with different cleaning needs for specific surfaces, flooring, etc. Carefully select products, equipment and tools you’ll need to complete your office’s specific cleaning routine.

Train Your Employees
All the cleaning supplies and equipment won’t do much if your team isn’t properly trained on how to use them. Improper cleaning practices can cause safety issues or result in damage to equipment. Make sure your employees are educated on the best practices and proper procedures with all chemicals and equipment.
