10 Spring Cleaning Tips for a Fresh Start
Spring has sprung and that means it's the perfect time to do some decluttering, cleaning and organising. Whether you're at home or in the office, here's 10 spring cleaning tips for a fresh start:
Make a list
Before getting started, make a list of everything you want to achieve with your big spring clean. List each task in in the you're going to tackle them, working top to bottom to avoid having to wait between tasks and the potential need to re-clean. Itemise your cleaning supplies to see what you have and determine what you might need to ensure the best clean possible.
Wipe down your computer
Your keyboard, mouse and monitor are can be a hub for dust and germs and should be wiped down frequently. This not only keeps the workplace sparkling, but it eliminates germs and helps reduce the spread of viruses.
Spring cleaning is also a great time to clean up your hard drive. Organising documents and emails, clearing your desktop and updating passwords will help with productivity and could reduce the spread of tosee other types of viruses.
Declutter your desk
Desks and workstations can easily become landing places for files, papers, and other debris.
Be sure to keep your desk as clean as possible. Shred unnecessary documents, file others appropriately, use office recycling bins, and make sure you dispose of food waste appropriately.
Clear out your drawers
Even unseen items can contribute to workplace clutter so making sure your drawers are clear can be just as important as what you can see . Drawers have a way of accumulating unneccary items so throw out what you don't need and if you're in the office take home personal items you don't need.
Bathroom
Regular bathroom cleaning is a given but a deep-clean of all surfaces of the bathroom is key to a fresh start. After the clean make sure your bathroom is stocked up to maintain hygiene with quality handwash, hand-sanitiser, tissues and toilet rolls.
Clean out the fridge
A weekly fridge clean out is recommended to help keep your kitchen space clean and stop the accumulation of foods that are well past their use-by. Spring cleaning is a great time to empty out the fridge and give the inside shelves a good clean with soapy water, ridding it of any germs or mould that has built up over time.
Make your windows sparkle
Natural light is good for both mental and physical health. Dirty windows will block out natural sunlight, and they aren’t very nice to look at either. Clean windows to help boost morale. Remember to dust and wipe down your walls while you're at it.
Plants
Plants are a healthy addition to any office setting, but they can gather dust, and it’s important to keep them clean as well.
If you have indoor plants in your office, then leaves will need a gentle wipe with a damp cloth from time to time to prevent the build-up of dust.
Prepare your personal hygiene
Make staying hygienic through the day a cinch by placing hand-sanitisers, tissues, wipes and bins in easily accessible places.
