The spring cleaning checklist isn’t just for homes and apartments. Offices, warehouses, factories and other types of commercial properties greatly benefit from a detailed and thorough office spring cleaning checklist , which completely resets the business enhancing productivity and profitability. A total cleanup and reset also creates a healthy and safe working environment, further reducing costs.

Key areas that should be on your spring cleaning checklist

Computer

Buildup over time can drastically reduce the speed and performance of office computers. Dust and crumbs can easily fill keyboard crevices ,while clogged fan inlets can reduce computing performance. Spraying compressed air into these areas is effective at blasting out dust and debris and will restore performance increasing productivity.

Computer Data

The spring cleaning checklist also extends to the internal company network and is a good time to check in on internal information and data security. Employees should change passwords for logins and all data should be backed up and stored off site. Full virus scans should be performed on all systems with unnecessary data and programs deleted.

Emails

Network administrators and managers can use the spring reset to update and secure the company’s email system. A review of all active employee email accounts and deletion of inactive accounts will reduce the risk of incoming spam and viruses. Updating incoming spam and virus controls will keep your defenses current against the latest cyber threats.

The Keyboard (more germs than a toilet seat...!)

The keyboard is the primary input device for those using computers and the constant skin contact makes it one of the more critical areas to clean and disinfect. Germs and viruses can easily pass from the hands on surfaces such as keyboards, trackpads and mice. A through wipe down with the appropriate cleaner will kill germs and remove viruses that can easily reduce productivity and increase sick days.

Desktop & Files

Depending on your provincial laws, spring cleaning is a good time to clear out unnecessary documents and paperwork from filing cabinets and desktop files. Files and papers that will be removed should be shredded to protect information.

Office Desk

Another area that is a hotbed for viruses and germs are desks and conference tables. These areas can easily pass colds and flus to whoever comes in contact with them. Desks and tables should have all their surfaces wiped and disinfected to remove and potential illnesses on the surface. Office technology such as phones, printers and tablets should also be wiped and disinfected to control germs and viruses.

Office Areas

Reception areas and waiting rooms are the first things your customer sees. Clean and sanitized common and public areas will give off a positive first impression while also maintaining a healthy and productive environment. Tables, chairs and surfaces should be wiped down and disinfected while carpets and fabric surfaces should be thoroughly vacuumed and steam cleaned.

Kitchen/ Lounge Room

Your employees work hard and deserve a clean and healthy space to take their breaks. Staff kitchens should be thoroughly cleaned by removing all appliances and items from cupboards and drawers. Microwaves and fridges should be detailed cleaned inside and out. Bathrooms should get the same detailed cleaning and restocking. Employee lockers should be emptied and cleaned during the office spring cleaning.

Carpets

Carpets provide warmth in any office but their fibrous nature makes them magnets for dust, dirt and debris. Vacuuming and steaming of carpeted areas will provide a good clean and enhance the life and durability of the carpet but WeCleanIt crews go one step further by offering carpet shampooing for the ultimate in clean and refreshed carpets in addition on the spot stain removal. Deep cleaning of carpeted surfaces will also improve air quality by removing airborne contaminants from the area.

Floors

Modern contemporary offices use floors in their workspaces which are easy to maintain and last a long time. Dust and ‘dust bunnies’ can easily build up in less traffic areas and under fixtures and office furniture.
