Professional Office Cleaning in Nashville, TN

When you hear spring cleaning, you probably think of having to deep clean your home, getting rid of old clothes and little things that built up over the year or years. After you declutter your home, most people tend to feel refreshed and at ease again in their space, so why treat your office any differently? Spring cleaning your office building is similar to cleaning your home. You need to organize and sort old documents that no longer are important and clean areas that may need some extra attention to help rejuvenate the space. Below are some tips to help make the process smoother and to guarantee a fresh work environment for you and your team.

Tip #1: Checklists Matter

The best first step before any big project is to make a checklist to make sure nothing is missed. Take a few hours to look around your building and write down things that stick out. Be sure to put enough detail in your tasks to help remember exactly what you need to do.

Tip #2: Clean All Surfaces

Everyone knows that surfaces get gross over time, but most people only think about it in their own homes and not their workplaces. Desks should be wiped down, with items removed, and only putting the necessities in reach to provide a clean and organized space to work. Other surfaces to wipe down include door handles, screens, vents, keyboards, phones, and other commonly touched areas. These can take time to do properly, but some services will do these tasks for you regularly. ProImage offers night janitorial and other commercial cleaning services, to help prevent disruption to your day-to-day operations while providing your employees with a clean space.

Tip #3: Declutter Drawers and Cables

Most people tend to put both necessary and unnecessary items in drawers as they help put items out of sight. It is good practice to periodically sort through your drawers, throw away the clutter, and organize the needed items. This also will help you know if you need to order more of any item since you will see everything decluttered. To help prevent getting overwhelmed, you can clean out one drawer at a time to keep piles minimum.

Cables and wires under a desk can quickly become a tangled mess. To help alleviate this, only cords that are regularly needed should be used, and to help keep floors tidy you can secure the cable to the base of your desk or up the back of your desk to give it a clean appearance. Another helpful tip is to label the cable with a labeling system (colors, device, etc.) that works for you.

Tip #4: Out with the Old, Keep the New

Filing cabinets tend to build up in offices, if not sorted periodically or when the document is no longer needed.

Before shredding documents, you should sort through everything and see what you may need in the future. For documents you think you may need or think would be useful to look at in a few years, electronic scans of the document are extremely helpful. Be sure to store the digital files in a secure place, especially if it is financial information or personal identification information, such as Social Security Number, address, billing information, etc.
