For many of us, the office is a second home, with our cubicles serving as a workspace and a reflection of our personalities. This customization is a prominent aspect of company culture that aids in team members feeling comfortable in the work environment. In this blog, we will discuss the basics of cubicle cleaning and why it is important for these spaces to receive proper care to ensure a healthy and safe environment year-round.
Declutter
It is often said that your workspace is a reflection of you, which is why decluttering the workspace is the first step in the cubicle cleaning process. Start off strong by removing any trash that has accumulated over time. This includes things like wrappers, old sticky notes, and other miscellaneous items that no longer serve a purpose other than collecting dust. Take extra care to review any lingering documents that would be better suited to be filed and organized away rather than taking up workspace. Additionally, a tidy environment can help you stay focused on your tasks without extra distractions.
From here, take inventory of personal items such as food containers and or gym bags. These items should be routinely going home with you to avoid any science experiments from cultivating. Keep these items clean and organized to prevent harsh odors.
Making it a part of your routine
To maintain a clutter-free and organized workspace, set aside a few minutes each day or a designated time each week to maintain the cleanliness of the space. Use disinfectant wipes or a microfiber cloth to clean the desk, keyboard, mouse, phone, and any other frequently touched surfaces to reduce dust and germ build-up. When your cubicle is clean, you can find what you need more quickly, reducing the time spent searching for documents or items. By investing time in cleaning and organizing your cubicle, you will create a more comfortable and productive environment for yourself and those around you.

Organization is key
During the cleaning process, you may come across documents or materials that you may need to hold onto for work purposes. Consider requesting organizers, shelves, file holders, and desk trays to keep these items neatly arranged for easy access. Cataloging folders and drawers can aid in the overall organization of the space as your documents can quickly be accessed, saving valuable time. When everything has its designated place, you can easily find what you need, reducing the time spent searching for documents, supplies, or tools.
Speaking of time, a well-organized cubicle can help you better manage your time. Properly executed organization promotes a logical flow of work. When your cubicle is structured in a way that supports your daily tasks and processes, you can move from one task to another seamlessly, minimizing disruptions and delays.
