Office Cleaning Tips & Tricks

Use our office cleaning tips and tricks to keep your building clean and ready for everyone to use.  Having a clean building is important to the running of your business.  It helps keep your staff focused and healthier by disinfecting surfaces throughout your office.  Another advantage is that everything will be in its rightful place, easy to find, and ready for use.

The best way to maintain a clean office is to hire a commercial cleaning company.  These tips can help keep your office clean between professional cleanings, or you may decide to try to take care of all of the work yourself.

1. Scheduling for an occasional deep cleaning

Request that your cleaning company performs an occasional deep cleaning. A lot of commercial cleaners offer deep cleaning, specialty carpet, and upholstery cleaning and hardwood flooring deep cleaning, in addition to daily cleaning.

Grime accumulates over time, so it’s wise to ask your cleaning company to alternate a deep clean in difficult to reach areas.

2. Designated locations

Everything in your office should be assigned a place and should be kept in that place when not in use.  Shelving and labels is an easy way for everyone to cooperate and keep the business organized.  This includes items such as handheld inventory control units, radios, and anything that needs to be kept charged and ready.

3. Well stocked supplies

The job will never get done, or get done right without the cleaning supplies needed.  It’s important to keep the cleaning closet or basket full of the dusting spray, glass cleaner, paper towels, rags, microfiber cloths, and rubbing alcohol you need.

4. Office supplies

Light cleaning should be done throughout the day to keep offices and cubicles clean.  Keyboard wipes are a good way to keep the office clean even if you use your office to have meals or eat snacks during your day.  Ensure they’re provided and employees know to let their keyboard dry before jumping back into work.  Use cleaning cloths or sprays to wipe down the phone and a rubbing alcohol cotton ball to clean dial pads.

5. Minimize clutter

The less clutter and things you have on your desk, the easier it is to keep it clean.  It also makes it harder to really spread your work out and get deep into a complicated project.  Anything you don’t use throughout your day should be kept in drawers and on shelves.  That includes extra calendars, post-it notes, paperclips, and the like.

6. Labeled lunches

The company refrigerator and cupboards can become a serious source of the mess if not kept orderly.  Companies should require employees to label their bags or boxes with their names.  There should also be a monthly clean out day, so old forgotten food can be disposed of.  Condiments such as mustard or ketchup should have the date written on them and be kept as long as they are good.

7. Trash & vacuuming

Keeping crumbs and dirt off your carpet helps it last longer, stay looking better, and keeps bugs away.  It’s also important to empty trash daily to keep the ants or other insects away from workspaces.  It can take hours or professional extermination to reverse the infestation a small bit of garbage can create.

8. Your mom doesn’t work here policy

If you have a kitchenette at your office it is important that any containers and dishes are cleaned immediately and the sink is rinsed out.  If you have company dishes make sure they get put away on a certain day of the week to empty the drying rack.  This also goes for wiping out the microwave.  If it splatters it needs to be wiped out completely, otherwise the mess hardens and needs a chisel to get out.   Plants should also be kept healthy, watered, and manicured.

9. Behind & under

People with dust allergies can become uncomfortable or downright sick if you forget to clean under and behind office furniture.  These are the most common forgotten areas and mean the difference between looking clean, and being clean.

10. Monitoring the office

A good test of how cleaning is going is to enter the building and pretend to be a customer.  Walk the routes most customers take and keep an eye out for areas that need improvement for cleaning.  Write notes so you can adjust the cleaning routines.  If you have a cleaning company their checklists should be built out enough that nothing is ever missed.

Keep your office clean to ensure you’re always ready to make that all-important first impression.  Even maintaining impressions is important with established clients or they may think your company isn’t doing so well.  While it might seem like a small detail the cleanliness of your building is of critical importance.  It keeps visitors, staff, employees, and managers healthier and safer.

11. Keyboard cleaning

A lot of cleaning companies are contracted to perform set cleaning duties, such as vacuuming the office, cleaning the bathrooms and breakroom areas, and emptying trash cans. Although some cleaners will clean computer keyboards, the mouse and the phones, many won’t include them in regular cleanings.

Computer and phone cleaning are typically disregarded by employees, but these are areas in the office sheltering high levels of germs and gross bacteria. Research conducted by the University of Arizona discovered that the average desktop has 400x more bacteria than your average toilet seat.

Regularly cleaning is easy. You will need a couple of cleaning tools, like a keyboard brush, pressurized air and maybe some gooey cleaning gel.

12. Disinfect your phone and desk

Wiping down your desk thoroughly with disinfectant spray or wipes once a week and doing the same to your phone will help to hinder the build-up of dust, grime, dirt, food stains, fingerprints, and germs. It is also a weekly chance to guarantee work odds and ends do not build up on your desk and your files get filed away.

Not only will your desk be a fresher, cleaner and nicer area to work from, you will also keep your personal space germ free. Just a quick wipe may also help in preventing flu and colds from spreading.

13. Organize and clean your desk drawer(s)

Even the most organized and clean individuals are inclined to have at least one drawer that gets into disarray every once and a while. Around every 6 weeks go through your desk drawer, organize is and give it a good wipe down.

Utilize drawer dividers with sections to keep any rubber bands, paper clips, staples, and smaller items organized. Choose what goes in the drawer and what stays on the desk. When you stay organized and your work productivity will soar.

14. Wipe the plant’s leaves

For some, plants might appear like just another thing that clutters up the office. But prior to you ruling them out, one thing you need know is that plants indeed clean the office air. Plants clear the air of pollutants and release humidity back into the air, which is especially good for offices that have air-conditioning.

If your office has indoor plants (if it doesn’t you should definitely get some), it’s leaves will require a soft wipe with a damp cloth from every now and then to hinder dust build-up.

15. Vacuum the top of folders, and files

It doesn’t matter how clean you are or how good you are at putting paperwork where it goes, file boxes and folders on shelving will accumulate dust. Regularly vacuuming the top of folders and files will hinder dust build-up. Be careful not to vacuum up any paperwork.

16. Incorporate up a refrigerator cleaning rotation

Have you seen leftover food in the office refrigerator turning into something you’ve never seen before? If you’re avoiding the fridge because of that, maybe it’s time to incorporate an office fridge cleaning rotation. Food that gets forgotten turns bad. At best it creates a bad odor. It poses a hygiene risk at worst.

Sharing a kitchen is everybody’s responsibility, as is maintaining the cleanliness of the refrigerator. Ask fellow employees to date food they open and to be responsible for throwing their out of date food out. Ensure the refrigerator gets cleaned weekly and employees empty any unwanted food at the end of the week.

Commercial Cleaning vs Residential Cleaning
Regular Post
Written by Desert Oasis Cleaners

What is Commercial Cleaning?

We all have to clean every day in our lives, be it at home or at work. To understand what commercial cleaning actually is, it is most helpful to compare and contrast it to residential cleaning. Read on to learn more about commercial cleaning, how it differs from residential cleaning and how using the services of commercial cleaning services like Desert Oasis Cleaners can benefit your business and create a more productive work environment for you, your employees and your customers.

A lot of residential cleaning business owners want to expand into commercial cleaning but don’t think about just how different it is from their main business. The thinking is that cleaning is cleaning, whether it be a home or office. This approach is the reason that residential cleaning companies trying to expand into commercial cleaning can falter and fail from the start.

So how is commercial cleaning different from residential cleaning?  Here are 10 things to consider before diversifying into commercial cleaning.

  1. Residential cleaning is done during daytime hours and most commercial cleaning is usually done in the evenings, late at night and on weekends so it’s usually a good idea to have two separate crews. This will require hiring more cleaners, team leaders and/or promoting your current employees to supervise the commercial cleaning crew. You might find hiring for your commercial crew more challenging in comparison to your residential cleaners because people are more willing to work during the day as opposed to evenings, nights, or weekend work.
  2. Your current cleaning staff will have to be retrained if they will be working the commercial cleaning crew also. Since residential cleaning is a lot more detailed than that of commercial cleaning, your commercial crew will need to clean much more quickly and with less focus on detail and more attention on completing the required cleaning requirements of the facility.
  3. Residential cleaning is completed in the client’s personal space instead of their workspace. Because you are touching their personal effect’s they tend to be more sensitive and “picky” than commercial cleaning clients. They are typically more demanding of the small details (i.e. how you place the pillows on their bed and couch, how you fold or hang the towels, how you replace items you pick up to dust, etc.). Commercial cleaning clients are more interested with ensuring you complete the cleaning specifications agreed to on their contract.
  4. When residential clients are in their home while you are cleaning, they have inclination to watch your every move. They want you to be on time and might watch the clock to see how long it takes for you to clean. Commercial clients are not keeping an eye on the clock to make sure you arrived on time (if they are even on site when you get there). They might, however, leave “traps” to make ensure your employees are thoroughly cleaning.
  5. Residential cleaners have more interaction with their client’s, so you want to hire employees who have excellent communication skills, are personable, and are well groomed. Even though these are qualities you want to have in ALL your employees, commercial cleaners typically clean at night, after the building occupants have gone home for the day, so there is usually less interaction.
  6. You will have to wait to get paid with commercial cleaning so expect a decrease incoming cash. Residential cleaning companies are typically paid the day the service is completed. Commercial cleaning companies are normally under contract with terms of payment. This requires an invoice be issued every month to the customer and results in a longer time period to receive payment. In addition, a lot of commercial cleaning companies are now invoicing prior to providing cleaning services versus invoicing at the end of the month for that month’s cleaning services.
  7. Pricing and profit margins are different. In commercial cleaning, the bigger the account, the lower the profit margin. In addition, cleaning supplies, chemicals, and equipment costs are higher with commercial cleaning accounts which leads to decreased profit margins per client. However, the bigger accounts may be easier managed and the lower profit margin can be made up in volume.
  8. Production rates will differ from residential vs. commercial. The average production rate for residential is usually 700-1,000 sq. ft. vs. commercial which can range from around 2,500 to 4,000 sq. ft. per hour or more. Commercial pricing is more time consuming also. Commercial clients usually require a bidding process, a building walk through and a contract drawn up to include the list of cleaning specifications, terms and conditions of payment, signatures and references.
  9. Marketing is different since residential cleaning is “business to consumer” and commercial cleaning is usually “business to business”. Also, there are a lot more potential residential opportunities out there than commercial businesses so there will be more competition for commercial cleaning accounts.
  10. You may have to alter or change your current residential cleaning company name or create an entirely new one. Your company name needs to fit the services you are offering. You will find it extremely hard to lure new commercial cleaning customers with the name: We Clean Maid Services. Use a name that will be marketable to both residential and commercial clients.

As you can see, there are a lot of differences between residential cleaning and commercial cleaning. If you are thinking about braching out into commercial cleaning, start making a list of advantages and disadvantages in order to determine if this is the right thing to do for your business.

Hire a Professional for Cleanup

There are several reasons why you should always hire a professional to handle vandalism cleanup and graffiti removal.

A vandalism cleanup technician also has the tools and materials necessary to remove paint, food, and waste effectively and without damaging the underlying surface.

Desert Oasis Commercial Cleaners technicians are specially trained to identify the most efficient and safest vandalism cleanup and removal methods for different surfaces and materials, guaranteeing that your property will be returned to its former state.

If this sounds like a common occurrence in your office, let us help. Use this conference room etiquette list from Desert Oasis Commercial Cleaners to create your own conference room usage guidelines. That way, everyone will know what they need to do after every meeting is complete.

CONFERENCE ROOM CHECKLIST

In general, have the leader of the meeting perform the following tasks after each meeting has concluded:

  1. ❒ Turn Off Computers and Other Equipment.

It doesn’t matter if you turn off equipment or put them in standby mode, it will depend on your workflow, but there should be some model for how electronic devices like conference room computers, projectors, speakers, and computer cameras are left when the room is not being used.

  1. ❒ Clean Up Any Messes.

Meeting notes, handouts, food &, drinks, trash – whatever is lying around at the end of the meeting should be tidied up. Usually, each member of the meeting should be responsible for cleaning up after themselves. Nevertheless, if anything is left behind, it’s up to the meeting’s leader to make sure the room is cleaned and ready for the next meeting.

  1. ❒ Put All Equipment Back Where It Belongs.

Every item in the conference room should have a place, including extra notepads and pens, chairs, phones and computers. Be sure all equipment is put back where they belong. Any brought in items that don’t belong in the conference room, should be taken out after the meeting.

  1. ❒ Wipe Down Surfaces with Disposable Cleaning Wipes.

Having packages of disposable cleaning wipes in the room makes it easy for people in the meeting to clean and sanitize the conference room after the meeting is over. Meeting leaders should wipe down the table, phones, keyboards, computer mouse’s and other high-touched surfaces to help fight the spread of germs and viruses in the office.

  1. ❒ Turn Off The Lights.

Once everything on the checklist has been completed, shut off the lights. The room should be clean and ready for the next scheduled meeting to take place.

  1. ❒ Include The Conference Room In The Regular Cleaning Schedule.

The conference room in your office may or may not get much use. But, it’s important to include the room on the regular cleaning schedule to keep it fully maintained and functional. Along with the steps mentioned above, the janitorial crew can vacuum, remove and replace trash bags, and clean and sanitize surfaces to keep the room always ready to use.

Restaurant Kitchen Exhaust & Hood Cleaning
Regular Post
Written by Desert Oasis Cleaners

Kitchen Exhaust & Restaurant Hood Cleaning

According to law, kitchen exhaust cleaning and restaurant hood cleaning are required for just about every commercial cooking establishment in the US. Restaurants, employee cafeterias, hotels, hospitals, and other food service areas have a hood and ductwork over their stoves or ranges to exhaust smoke, fumes, and steam out of the kitchen and building.

These exhaust gases produce a residue on the inside of the hood and ductwork. A lot of grease buildup, whether it be in a home or restaurant, creates a fire hazard.

CALL (480) 720-0907
GET A FREE QUOTE

What Kind of Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Services Are There?

There are two main methods of cleaning kitchen grease exhaust and hoods, depending on your restaurant needs or local and state fire authority requirements.

Scraping

Scraping is more budget friendly and is highly effective when performed correctly and thoroughly. Scraping of restaurant kitchen duct systems complies with state and local laws.

Pressure Washing or Steam Cleaning

Pressure washing or steam cleaning is more expensive and takes more time, because it needs significant prep work to control the wastewater and more costly equipment is used. None the less, using this method will clean the ductwork more thoroughly, in particularly hard-to-reach places found in a small number of systems. This is the reason why pressure washing might be required by local policies.

Restaurant Hood Cleaning

Kitchen exhaust cleaning is commonly known as restaurant hood cleaning or commercial hood cleaning. As they all relate to the same process, but hood cleaning is a bit misleading. The actual hood is outside the exhaust system and kitchen exhaust cleaning requires removing grease that has collected in the fans and ducts, and behind the exhaust filters of kitchen exhaust systems.

How Frequently Should a Kitchen Exhaust Be Cleaned?

Recommended cleaning frequency will depend on the type of your cooking establishment:

  • 30 days: Charcoal-burning stoves, wood-burning or char broilers, open 24-hour restaurants, pizza places and some hamburger places
  • 60 days: A lot of fast-food locations and hamburger restaurants
  • 90 days: The average restaurant, employee cafeterias, hotels or hospital kitchens
  • 180 days: Some pizza places, healing hospitals or small snack bar types
  • 1 year: Hoods that are over non-grease-producing appliances, like steam kettles, soup vats or dishwashers

Kitchen Grease Fires

It is approximated that one of three restaurant fires are caused by grease build up. Here is a common way of how a kitchen exhaust fire starts:

  1. A flame flares up on the range.
  2. The fire comes in contact with the filters above the range on the kitchen hood. The filters then ignite.
  3. Because the exhaust fan is on, pulling air into the hood, through the filters, and inside the duct, the flame on the filters is drawn into the duct.
  4. If considerable grease residue has collected on the interior of the duct, this may act as an accelerant and the fire spreads up the duct, maybe even all the way into the fan.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires all commercial kitchen exhaust hoods be inspected at particular intervals, depending on the cooking volume and type of cooking done.

Industrial Cleaning Service

Basically, industrial cleaning is the cleaning of hazardous areas in industrial facilities like warehouses, factories, power plants and various other types of facilities. An industrial cleaning position such as this is necessary that you receive on the job training, and to learn about industrial safety knowledge. There may be specialized equipment for an industrial cleaner to wear or specific chemicals they use to do their jobs.

The job of an industrial cleaner worker is hard and dirty work. Keeping the offices of industrial sites maintained is very challenging as well, as there is dirt being continuously tracked in from the outside areas of a warehouse or factory floors. Then they have the difficulty of working around heavy machinery and the safety risks that are involved, like industrial paints, metal shavings, lubricants, and fiberglass. There are also some types of machinery that are vulnerable to things like dirt and dust particles and cleaning them is important. Another thing to take into account when cleaning industrial sites are the staffing areas. For example, employees that perform industry cleaning are required to be in good health and in shape to perform the duties needed.

Industrial Cleaning Types

There are many different types of industrial cleaning types including:

  • Factories
  • Office Cubicles
  • Industrial Equipment
  • Conference Rooms

Industrial Cleaning Job Duties and Description

An industrial cleaner performs light and heavy janitorial work for a lot of industries, like warehouses, factories, and manufacturing plants. The work of an industrial janitor is unlike janitorial services performed in retail outlets, office complexes, schools, and residential areas, because the work in industries is typically performed in hazardous and unsafe conditions, and usually requires special machinery and safety equipment. Industrial janitorial work consists of keeping a clean environment, for the safety of the workers, and their work is usually done daily, in order for the continuing operation of the facility.

Experts put attention on the work being labor-intensive that requires being able to operate powerful washing equipment that is powered by high pressure, the capability to operate industrial trucks, and also requires physical strength and ability. Subject to the location of the workplace, industrial janitorial services can consist of the removal of hazardous chemicals, cleaning, inspecting, and maintaining, the machinery and other types of equipment.

Sometimes, industrial cleaning or other janitorial positions can require a high school diploma or a GED, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Employers will usually offer on the job training and/or other types of safety training. Sometimes additional training may be required if the work is to be done in an industry where the worker is exposed to potentially hazardous chemicals, like learning about the standards that have been developed by OSHA.

Part of your responsibilities as a teacher includes keeping your classroom clean to lower the risk of bacteria and germs from spreading, especially during cold and flu season. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are a couple of things you can do to stop or at least lower the spreading of illnesses in your classroom. With their tips in mind, we’ve compiled a classroom cleaning checklist to help you keep your classroom tidy, organized and most importantly, healthy for your students.

Tips For An Everyday Clean Classroom

While sometimes it can feel like the work of keeping your classroom fully cleaned and sanitized is never done, there are some quick and simple duties you can do during the day to lower the spreading of germs. Some preventative measures you can take each day to limit your and your students’ exposure to germs include:

  • Wipe down all high-touch surfaces with a combination of sanitizer and cleaner on a regular basis. Some areas can include doorknobs, desks, student school supplies, sinks and more.
  • Keep hand sanitizer, facial tissues and cleaning wipes at the ready for you and your students to use during the day.
  • Make use of no-touch trash cans in your classroom to reduce exposure to germs and bacteria.
  • If you feel sick, stay at home.
  • If a student feels or even looks sick, encourage them to see the school nurse and stay home until they are no longer contagious.

Weekly Classroom Cleaning Checklist

A lot of areas in a classroom can become a breeding ground for germs. Schoolbooks, desks, whiteboards, shared supplies, and even student’s toys can become contaminated in a matter of seconds. To help you keep germs at a minimum, use this classroom cleaning checklist in your classroom at least once a week:

  • ❒Sanitize high-touch areas. Yours and your student’s desks, chairs, door handles and knobs, and all play areas should be the first to be cleaned.
  • ❒Use the proper cleaning wipes for electronics. Computer keyboards, phones and items like iPads and tablets that are used in classrooms need to be regularly cleaned to lower the spreading of germs.
  • ❒Sweep and mop the floors and vacuum the carpets. Carpets and hard surfaces such as linoleum absolutely love germs, particularly in high-traffic areas like classrooms, gyms, and cafeterias. Speak with your school’s janitorial crew to find out they already do this step during their regular cleaning schedule.
  • ❒Throw away any waste in a timely manner. Cloths or towels that are used for cleaning should be washed or thrown away immediately. When emptying trash cans, try not to touch used tissues or other waste that can transmit germs onto your skin. Wash your hands as soon as you’re done disposing of waste to prevent the spreading of pathogens.

Use A Professional Cleaning Service

Taking down small tasks daily and the bigger tasks weekly, helps you can keep your classroom clean, tidy and healthy all school year. If your school needs assistance cleaning classrooms, cafeterias, gymnasiums and other populated areas of your school, call on the professionals to get the job done right.

Benefits of a Clean Workplace

As a business owner, how clean your office is probably not the first thing you think of on a day to day basis. Having a clean and healthy workspace is essential when it comes to running a successful business. A lot of business owners take only notice of such things when they get totally out of hand.

Despite that, leaving a good impression is associated with your role as an employer, too. In order to keep both clients and employees, you need to put in your best efforts forward to please both sides. This is particularly true when you’re welcoming a possible new employee. What they see in the beginning will form their opinion on their own in the company that they possibly may work for.

First Impressions Count

A tidy and clean workspace looks alluring and more importantly inviting to any potential customers. It shows confidence and creates trust from the very start and leaves potential customers with the impression that you’re capable of doing business and shows you have strong attention to detail. Unclean floors or conference room tables that have smudges, on the other hand, tell you’re possible customers that you lack the professionalism to take care of your employees, let alone new customers. This can be also said for an untidy reception area.

Elevate Your Brand

When the average customer thinks about your company, a tidy work environment suggests superior, high-quality products and services. It doesn’t matter what type of work you do, whether it’s designing a kitchen, doing someone’s taxes or selling bathroom sinks. A potential customer will certainly judge your entire brand grounded on how your office space looks and feels, and that will include any products and services you may offer. Don’t let an untidy workspace result in a possible customer walking away before you can even do business with them.

Happier Employees

Your employees may think of their workplace like a second home and as such, you need to put more attention on keeping it tidy and clean. By keeping your employees work environment maintained, you’re allowing them to be more productive, efficient, and most important, happy.

Your employees directly represent your business and more importantly your brand. In today’s world, a lot of companies are using their employees as a marketing tool. They talk about their work with their friends and families and promote products and services they’re working on using social media as a tool. If your employees are unhappy or not liking their workspace, they may not want to participate in any type of business-related promotions. Not to mention that their productivity will drop significantly when they’re trying to work in a messy workplace.

Keeping Your Workplace Clean and Tidy

Never ask your employees to clean. Think about hiring a cleaning company, which can clean each part of your workspace, if it’s cleaning the tile and carpets, scrubbing walls, windows, cleaning bathrooms, hallways and even the exterior of your building. This can be done once, of if you’re entirely satisfied with their services, you can hire them to clean a couple of times a month.

It is recommended by experts that you work on educating your employees on how important it is to maintain a clean and hygienic office space. A dirty work environment is a breeding ground for various bacteria and allergens, which only stresses the need to keep your office space clean.

Air Quality

Air quality also greatly influences the workspace performance, just as important as the health of your employees.

The number of pollutants indoors is a lot greater than it is outside, which makes investing in an appropriate filtration system all the more important and necessary. Another way to improve the air quality in your business is to purchase plants that can filter out excess CO2 and allergens from the air and give your employees additional levels of clean air and oxygen.

Office Desk Cleaning

Your office desk is a place you spend a great deal of your day. Usually, you get busy, projects come and go and your desk suffers. This post will explain how to keep your office desk in tip-top condition.

The feeling a clean desk gives you is invigorating and can sometimes inspire you. The desk is clean, you are focused, and work is getting done! This typically lasts a couple of days and a couple of big projects later the clean desk is back to its original disorganized state. Some people are fortunate and have larger work surfaces – looming desks that orders attention when you enter your office. Other people reading this post can only wish to have such a spacious environment while working. It’s not important the amount of desk surface space you have, here are a couple of guidelines to help keep your desk clean.

Picture your desk as first-rate real estate. Whatever sits on it needs to be worthy of take up its space. Only the things you use every day should sit here.

Keep office supplies close by. Drawers and pencil organizers are appropriate ways to make sure often-used items are within reach.

Keep things in handy. Resources, files, and other items you use daily should be within an arm’s reach. If you keep a phone book on your desk but use online directories, then you should ditch the book.

Try considering “up”. By putting your computer monitor on a monitor stand, you not only raise it to a correct ergonomic level, but it will provide you with more clean desk surface space. If you can, install shelves above your desk, giving you an area where you can keep binders and other resources within reach.

Create an organization system. Organize your present projects by placing them in project binders, or other types of manila folders. Take the time to label each file and store them upright in a sorter. This is an easy way to keep clear of piles of files and allows you to visually see every project. Now you have a system that will help maintain your desk and keep it clean.

Use a stackable In/Out tray. Papers and unopened mail that comes into your office needs a temporary home until you decide what to do with them. Make sure that the bottom tray acts as an In-Box, thus limiting just how much stuff can gather before you must get to them. This helps you keep your desk clean and stay on top of projects that needs your attention.

Get rid of distractions. Between people coming into your office, getting phone calls, emails coming in at a consistent pace and keeping up with your appointments and business meetings, it’s no wonder it’s such a laborious endeavor to maintain a clean desk. To clarify, get rid of additional personal items, including things that need to go back to your home. You should also give attention to the space underneath your desk as it’s often an easy hiding place for miscellaneous time. These distractions will only stop you from your goal of keeping a clean desk.
