Introduction
A clean office isn’t just about looking good — it’s about creating a healthier, more productive work environment. While many companies hire professional cleaners, adopting smarter office hygiene habits can significantly enhance results.
Here are 10 expert tips from the team at CityWide Eco to help businesses maintain a spotless and healthy workspace year-round.
1. Prioritize High-Touch Surfaces
Desks, doorknobs, keyboards, and elevator buttons are hotspots for germs. Make sure these are disinfected daily with non-toxic, eco-safe cleaners to reduce cross-contamination.
2. Implement a Desk-Cleaning Policy
Encourage employees to keep their personal workspaces clutter-free. Provide green cleaning wipes and hand sanitizers so they can easily wipe down phones, monitors, and desks at the end of each day.
3. Maintain HVAC Systems
Clean air is just as important as clean surfaces. Ensure your HVAC system is inspected and filters replaced regularly to improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
4. Use Microfiber Cloths Instead of Paper Towels
Microfiber captures dust and bacteria more effectively and can be washed and reused. This reduces waste and improves cleaning outcomes.
5. Choose Green Cleaning Products
Chemical-laden cleaners can trigger allergies and headaches. Opt for plant-based, biodegradable cleaners approved by the EPA Safer Choice Program.
6. Don’t Forget the Break Room
Microwaves, coffee machines, and refrigerator handles are often overlooked. Add them to your daily cleaning checklist to prevent the spread of germs.
7. Go Paperless Where Possible
Reducing paper usage helps decrease clutter and supports sustainability goals. Store documents digitally and use cloud platforms for collaboration.
8. Schedule Regular Deep Cleans
While daily cleaning is essential, deep cleaning on a monthly or quarterly basis helps eliminate allergens, mold, and hard-to-reach dirt.
