December is a great time to prepare your business for the upcoming year. And there’s no better way to start a new year than with a clean slate – literally! But, unfortunately, many spaces in your office often go neglected. So to help you start 2023 on the right (and sanitary) foot, we’re providing a checklist of items that need attention a few times a year.
Out of sight, out of mind. When it comes to cleaning, many of us forget about the places that are hard to see or hidden from view. This list will help you remember those oft-neglected spaces that also need your attention:
- Deep clean carpets and rugs: Vacuuming and spot cleaning are typically done regularly, but deep steam cleaning should be done once or twice a year.
- Clean behind and under large appliances that can be moved: Refrigerators, copiers, water coolers, and other large appliances that can be moved should be moved to clear out the dirt, dust, and debris behind or underneath them.
- Dust and disinfect ceilings, walls, and high fixtures: Vacuuming or dusting the ceiling is often forgotten. Make sure to get up on a ladder and take care of it!
- Thoroughly clean door frames and doors, including hinge areas: We use our doors multiple times a day. Give them a deep clean, paying particular attention to the hinges and corners that are usually overlooked.
- Remove all vent covers for cleaning: You might think your vents are clean after a vacuum, but removing the covers and giving them a good scrub will do wonders.
