Shelves offer valuable storage room as well as a beautiful way to showcase special pieces all over the office, warehouse or retail store. Your shelves will need to be cleaned from time to time. Here are some steps to make the job a little easier.

The requirements you will need:

Boxes

Paper towels

Cleaning products:

  • Wooden shelves: Murphy’s Oil Soap or other wood cleaning product
  • Plastic/Resin shelves: all purpose cleaner
  • Glass shelves: glass cleaner
  • Metal shelves: Cleaner designed for specific type of metal

Soft cloths

Swiffer duster (optional)

Follow these steps to clean the shelves:

Begin by removing all of the items from the shelf. If the individual items need cleaning as well, this is a great time to do so.

Place the items in a box and set it off to the side.

If there are several shelves, start at the top and work your way down. This way, if any dust or debris falls, it will land on a shelf that has not yet been cleaned.

Once the shelf is clear, dust it with a soft cloth or Swiffer duster to remove any loose dust. If the shelf is lined (such as a bathroom, kitchen or closet shelf), remove the lining and clean that as well.

Now you are ready to clean the shelf itself. Use an cleaner designed for the material that the shelf is made of.

Wipe the shelf down with a soft cloth and the cleaning product.

Rinse if necessary.

Dry with a soft cloth.

Replace the shelf liner, if applicable.

Return all of the removed items to the shelf.

Continue onto the next shelf, repeating the steps above.
