10 daily habits to keep your office spotless

A clean office isn't only about the cleaning crew: your team's daily habits make the difference. These are the practices we recommend most to our clients in San Jose and the Bay Area.

1. Clear desks at the end of the day

Putting papers and personal items away lets surfaces be cleaned thoroughly and reduces dust build-up.

2. Disinfect high-touch spots

Keyboards, mice, phones, handles and switches collect germs. A disinfecting wipe once a day is enough.

3. Clear kitchen rules

Everyone washes their own mug, the fridge is emptied every Friday and spills are wiped right away.

4. Enough well-placed bins

When the trash is one step away, nobody leaves wrappers on the desk. Include separate recycling.

5. Mats at the entrance

Up to 80% of dirt comes in on shoes. A good mat protects floors and carpets.

6. Ventilate every day

Opening windows or checking the HVAC improves air quality and reduces odors.

7. Less stuff, less dust

Once a month, review what's no longer used: boxes, old brochures, broken equipment.

8. A cleaning kit at hand

Towels, disinfectant and bags in a visible spot make cleaning easy.

9. Midday restroom check

A quick check of paper, soap and trash avoids bad impressions with clients and visitors.

10. Scheduled professional cleaning

Habits maintain; deep cleaning renews. A weekly or biweekly service covers floors, restrooms and hard-to-reach areas.
