Quick Desk Cleaning TipsBeginning the day with a mess on your desk does not exactly inspire productivity. Commercial cleaning supplies certainly have their place but for a quick clean when these products are not around, here’s what to do to keep your desk clean and tidy.

 

Combining a ¼ cup of white vinegar with a ¼ cup of boiled and cooled water is a high-functioning solution that can be used to shine up a computer monitor. Computer monitors are known to acquire splatter, fingerprints, and dust. Wipe it all away with a lightly textured cloth and some of this mixture. By adding two tablespoons of rubbing alcohol to this same mixture, it also creates the ideal scrub to use on a keyboard. The inclusion of alcohol will help to tackle those germs that sink in between the keys that are hard to get rid of.

 

In addition to natural solutions, having sanitizing wipes to use daily for any needed touch-ups are a great way to keep fresh. Non-toxic, eco-friendly sanitizing wipes can clean desk fans, wood, glass, ceramics, laminate, and more. The disposable nature of these wipes make them more preferable to a cloth or rag which will get dirty rather quickly.

 

The importance of using non-toxic ingredients in the office is key. Non-commercial cleaners are known for the chemicals they carry. Whenever possible, we want to limit the amounts of these chemicals coming into the workplace. All-purpose cleaning products, as an example, contain harsh antimicrobial agents which were designed to kill viruses and bacteria but that also have known links to asthma, respiratory infection, allergies, and some cancers. Among the toxic components, we strongly advise to steer clear of are quaternary ammonium compounds, sodium hypochlorite, ethylene oxide, 1,4-dioxane, and isothiazolinone.

 

For the reasons mentioned above, using household cleaners in the workplace is not recommended. Household cleaners are not necessarily meant for repeated daily exposure which increases the risk of conditions such as asthma and respiratory irritations. Therefore, the more natural, environmentally-friendly products we can get in the workplace, the better. There is a lot that can be done with eco-friendly cleaning supplies. Whenever possible, switching to an environmentally sustainable cleaner is the healthiest thing.

 

Why so many offices do not switch to more eco-friendly cleaning supplies has to do with the effectiveness of the clean. For example, there are unique products out there, each designed to tackle specifications such as cleaning windows, stainless steel appliances, bathroom vanities, and more. Nowadays, you can get an effective clean with non-toxic ingredients.
