The Dirt Stops Here: How to Clean Your Office Desk
When it comes to a great desk and office cleaning, the dirt does stop here! Mr. Clean® has a passion for spotless spaces and that includes a very clean office. After decades of discovery, he’s been sharing his secrets to a legendary clean with the world. With these desk organization ideas and cleaning tips, your desk will rise the ranks of clean. Soon, your office will be shipshape and ready for work.
Clean as you go.
One of the easiest ways to keep the desk in your office clean is to pick up things throughout your day. Throw away little scraps of paper, clean up food crumbs, and put leftover coffee mugs in the kitchen when you’re done with them. Little cleanups can go a long way!
Tackle tough messes.
From coffee rings to dirty finger prints, grime can build up on your laminate desk over time. For stubborn spots, use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Extra Durable. It’s 50 percent stronger than the Magic Eraser Original. So you can power through dirt and grime without overworking yourself. Just wet, squeeze and swipe away dirty buildup! You can even cut the Magic Eraser into smaller pieces to reach your desk’s nooks and crannies. Then, cut off the used part and store the remaining Magic Eraser for later use!
Color coordinate.
Whether you want to codify all of your files or simply know what is what, color coordinating can help you find what you need in a flash. Assign a specific color to each major job task or project. Then, get folders, notepaper and paperclips in those respective colors to help make finding information a breeze.
Digitize notes.
Sticky notes and loose paper can clutter up your desk. Instead, snap photos of your notes with your phone and you’ll always have them with you. Most phones will let you categorize your photos, so you can catalogue them based on importance. Snap and you’re done.
Find everything a home.
Make sure every item at your desk has its own home by utilizing a filing system, designated drawers, storage boxes, or another organization technique that suits you best. If you can’t find a place for something, then you may not need it. Either throw it away or give it a new home by donating it or giving it to a coworker.
Next time you need to clean your desk, remember that Mr. Clean loves turning a messy office into a tidy workspace. With these simple tips, you can clean your desk and keep it clean longer – and you’ll feel more productive, too! Mr. Clean is not just clean; he’s also quite organized, too!
