How Do You Keep Homes in the Country Clean?

A clean office equals a clean mind. Office environments can get extremely messy if you don't have a decent system in place. This could eventually take its toll on your employee's morale. If you want to get the most out of your workforce, the following cleaning hacks will help. They will also allow you to cut down on commercial cleaning bills and save you money.

Make Your Own DIY Cleaning Solution

Commercial cleaning products can get expensive, especially if you prefer to use environmentally friendly alternatives. With people walking in and out of the office every hour of every day, keeping the high traffic areas clean and tidy can be quite challenging. Instead of wasting money on commercial and harmful cleaning products, make your own by mixing baking soda and lemon juice with one part white vinegar and four parts water. 

Work From The Top Down

Forget about the flooring and wipe all of the crumbs and dust onto it. If you're planning on sweeping or vacuuming the floor anyway, what's the harm? This will save time. If possible, try to save floor cleaning until after hours, otherwise other employees will just end up spreading the mess around the office while you're cleaning. 

Separate Your Bins

In today's environmentally conscious world, many businesses like to do business with companies that are aware of their carbon footprint. Make sure you have bins for different waste products: paper, plastics, metals, food and general. Colour code them and place them within reach of the whole office. This will encourage employees to recycle and may even impress potential clients. 

Use A Cloud Storage System

Never underestimate the importance of digital storage! There's nothing worse than having files and folders strewn about the desktop without proper labels. This digital clutter can not only be frustrating, but can significantly hinder productivity and computer performance. By having a Cloud-based system in place, you won't have to worry about sifting through junk. 

Go Paperless Whenever Possible

In today's digital world there's little need for paper. With tablets, smart phones, the Cloud and small memory units that can fit inside a wallet, paper filing seems dated and redundant. Get rid of your filing cabinets, shred an important information (once it's backed up of course!) and try to make your office as paperless as possible. You'll be surprised how much space you'll save.

Cleaning may seem like a mundane task delegated to the janitor or to commercial cleaning; however, it should never be left to one person. In order for a system to work, everyone in your office must work together and do their bit.
