Cleaning tips for your office surfaces

Employees can contract viruses and illnesses by touching contaminated surfaces, so high-touchpoints in the office should be frequently cleaned and disinfected to help reduce the spread of infection. In the new normal, employees themselves will be more proactive in ensuring surface hygiene, so make sure to provide cleaning solutions in your office that allow employees to clean keyboards and other shared surfaces when needed. Here are some cleaning tips for different areas within your office:

Overall

High-touch surfaces should be prioritised and cleaned frequently. Use disposable cleaning cloths and change them frequently. Make sure your cleaning staff has effective cleaning equipment and gear to protect themselves. Make disposable wipes for cleaning available so employees can clean specific areas when needed.

Reception

Wipe high-touch surfaces such as door handles, touchscreens and lift buttons frequently. Keep wiping solutions close by to make cleaning a swift and smooth task.

Office

Clean shared high-touch equipment such as keyboards, computer mice, printers and phones often and ensure that surface cleaning is carried out regularly. Provide disposable wipes for cleaning so employees can clean their personal space when needed. 

Washrooms

Begin cleaning less dirty surfaces and end with the toilet and the floor. Use more than one wipe to prevent spreading germs. Mops and sponges can harbour microorganisms, so cleaners should consider disposable solutions. 

Breakrooms

Clean the least dirty surfaces first and the floor last. Greasy or oily surfaces need to be cleaned with hot water and professional cleaning detergents before being sanitised.
