8 Things in the Office an Average Cleaner forgets to Clean Cleaning the office, there’s plenty of shortcuts someone can take. In our experience, a lot of areas get overlooked. Because a space looks clean does not mean it is clean. Throughout the days and weeks of not being cleaned regularly, these spaces may begin to leave a negative impression as they gather gunk, dust, bacteria, and germs. Consider hiring an experienced commercial cleaning service if you don’t have the time to tackle it yourself. Here’s a quick list of things in the office that even the average cleaner forgets to clean.


1 – Behind the Printer

 

Clean behind and under any printer or copy machine at least once monthly. Smudges on the glass should be wiped at this time as well. Printers are routinely forgotten about by commercial cleaners yet, over time, they can easily become one of the dirtier places in the average office.

 

2 – Behind the fridge and under the microwave

 

The office kitchen is a popular cleaning spot, however the more difficult-to-reach areas can go unnoticed. Behind the refrigerator and under the microwave can gather some pretty big messes. Cleaners should consider under the microwave at least once a month and then, under the refrigerator once every six months.

 

3 – Vents

 

Commercial cleaners do not have responsibility over the ventilation system of an office. That said, the vents themselves are not an area to be forgotten about. Every three months, give them a wipe. These systems are in constant use year-round, and these vents gather dust, allergens, and other particles. They should be wiped down with soap and water, removing anything trapped.

 

4 – Picture frames

 

Picture frames sitting on our desks should be wiped every once in a while. The top of some picture frames can gather a surprising amount of dust which can contribute negatively to in-office allergies.

 

5 – Ceiling fans

 

Ceiling fans are also known to collect dust and dirt rather easily. Even when they are sitting idle, they are still a great gathering place for dust. Left unattended, it inevitably becomes a real eyesore as it turns to grime. Be sure to dust or wipe ceiling fans down once every couple weeks.

 

6 – Office chairs

 

The salt and debris tracked in on our shoes can easily begin to dirty up the base and castors of office chairs. Consider a quick wipe with a mop during winter or throughout other seasons when/if your office chairs become unsightly.

 

7 – Backsplashes

 

Cleaning the big stuff in the kitchen, we may forget about the backsplashes. Run a damp cloth over these. Believe us when we say it goes a long way in keeping an office clean.

 

8 – Office plants

 

The environmentally-friendly sustainable living has brought more plants into the office than in decades’ past. Cobwebs building up on greenery can make an office look unclean. Be sure to remove dead or dying leaves, as it will keep your plants looking and feeling healthy.
