In the month leading up to
the new year, your office may be quiet as everyone flocks to spend time with
their families. As an office manager, you might find that this period is an
ideal chance to organise a deep clean of your office – and declutter ready
for 2020.
Create a tidy and clean
office environment that people want to return to after the holiday break, and
enlist the support of your office cleaning providers and your colleagues.
January can be a struggle for some – but a good clean of the workplace can
go a long way in uplifting people’s moods and keeping spirits bright, ready for
a productive year.
When was the last time you
had a deep clean of your office? Can you remember?
The pace of business tends to
pick up after the summer and it’s only when you stop, you see that you may have
neglected your environment and now your office could do with a deep clean.
Furthermore, if you start the year with an office clean – the spring clear out
won’t be as bad!
Wet weather conditions are
likely to have introduced more dirt to your carpets and although most offices
will have a regular office cleaning schedule, so, arranging a deep office clean
with your commercial cleaning company should be on your list. Deep cleaning
your office can include anything from computer cleans, high-level cleaning,
light and ceiling vent cleaning, cupboard cleaning and much more and is very
much recommended for customers who have regular office cleaning.
Further to the daily office cleaning we offer our clients, Nk Cleaning Company provides additional cleaning services including deep office cleaning. We also provide carpet cleaning, floor maintenance, window cleaning and external building cleaning. Consider each of these options to ensure everyone in the office comes back to pleasant workspace in 2020 and knows their organisation cares and respects their wellbeing.
Over the Christmas period,
involve as many staff members as you can in an office declutter.
You should start with desks
and then move to other areas of the office – filing cabinets, communal areas
etc. When the office has been de-cluttered and re-organised you will all feel a
sense of achievement and returning to the office in January won’t feel so hard
if you know you have an organised space to come back to.
During the year, we
accumulate things that we don’t need. When you sort through your papers, make
sure you’re only keeping things that are essential such as for record keeping
or using as a resource for later. Make sure you keep asking yourself: ‘Can this
be digitised in some way?’. Everything else is just taking up valuable space
and time and each item should have its place in the office. This declutter will
also highlight whether you need new storage solutions which could be on the
list of things to organise for the new year.
This could also be an
opportunity to ‘clean your office’ digitally. Delete any files that you know
you’re definitely not going to use again, backup data and organise your
desktop. Most people will prioritise work over such administrative tasks
– but they’re important too! A specific day of office decluttering is an
excellent opportunity for that without the guilt of ‘wasting time’.
Even though you may think
your workspace looks tidy after your declutter, bacteria can quickly build up
on seemingly clean surfaces.
This is prime cold and flu
season so when everything is quiet and before staff return, it’s important to
clean your office AND organise sanitising your office space. Bacteria and germs
shouldn’t be left to fester when everyone is out of the office only for them to
return and get ill.
Large numbers of employees
and several communal areas mean that having your office professionally
sanitised is essential to maintaining a hygienic and safe work space. At Nk
Cleaning Company, we offer telephone sanitising, the sanitising of keyboards
and other equipment in the office that would have many users, such as
photocopiers and fax machines. This can be arranged out of hours to ensure
minimal disturbance to the staff.
Nk Cleaning Company works
with our current contracted clients to create a tailored cleaning solution for
them. We offer them additional services such as commercial deep cleaning and
disinfecting which maintains an appropriate and hygienic work environment for
their staff.
All our operatives are fully
trained to use the relevant equipment and understand the high standards they
have to reach in order to comply with appropriate office hygiene levels.

Cleaning Company to create a bespoke cleaning package for your office, please
