6 Simple Tips to Keep Your Workplace Clean and Organized

1. Adopt the "Friday Reset" Ritual

Instead of waiting for quarterly deep cleans, encourage your team to do a 10-minute desk reset every Friday afternoon. It’s like hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del on workspace clutter. Clear papers, wipe down surfaces, and organize loose items. Think of it as preparing the office for a fresh start every Monday.

2. Reconsider Your Storage Strategy

If your storage solution is "just shove it in the nearest drawer," it’s time to rethink. Invest in modular storage or labeled containers. Even better: create “zones” for specific items (documents, electronics, office supplies). This minimizes time wasted looking for things... and reduces the risk of clutter hotspots.

3. Introduce a No-Food-at-Desk Policy (or at Least a Crumb Patrol)

We get it—deadlines make desk-lunches unavoidable sometimes. But food debris is a magnet for pests and bacteria. If banning food isn’t realistic, establish a “Crumb Patrol” day where everyone checks their workspace for spills and messes.

4. Declutter Digital Spaces Too

A clean workplace isn’t just physical. Encourage employees to regularly tidy their desktops (both digital and literal). Organize files, archive old projects, and clear unnecessary emails. Digital clutter can create as much mental fog as physical mess.

5. Partner with a Professional Cleaning Team (Like Us!)
