A cluttered desk is bad for both your health and your productivity. Clutter keeps you from cleaning the desk, which allows dust, germs, and bacteria to grow and affect your health. Clutter also keeps you disorganized, which can cause you to miss important meetings and deadlines unintentionally. A clean, organized desk will keep you healthier and improve your productivity. Here are some tips for organizing and cleaning your desk for good health and efficient workflow.
The first step is to purge the mess. Instead of trying to sort everything on the desk, clear everything off. Also clear everything out of filing cabinets and drawers. This will give you a huge mess on the floor, but it’s only temporary. The goal is simply to clear the desk for now. Make sure you clear every item and sheet of paper.
Now you ignore the mess on the floor so you can clean the desk. You’re going to rid yourself of all the harmful dust, germs, and bacteria.
Begin by wiping down the desk with a damp cloth to catch all the dust. It’s best to use a disinfectant spray on the cloth, but you can use water at this stage if you need to.
Next, spray a disinfectant or cleaner on the desk and wipe it clean. Make sure it’s a cleaner that won’t cause problems if you breathe it in.
Lastly, use a wood polish on the desk to give it a shine. Contact us for your office cleaning needs on sales@firstclasscleaning.co.ke
