Use the tips below to clean the dirtiest places in your office. Use the office cleaning checklist to clean each area of your office.  Print out the PDF and put it on the fridge so everyone can help, or just use this list for your own reference as you clean the office to make sure you don’t miss a spot.

Cleaning Your Office

1. Dust. Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down all surfaces. Remove everything so you can wipe down your desk. Don’t overlook areas like power strips behind your desk, fan blades, windowsills, the top of your monitor or the tops of picture frames.
2. Vacuum. Work top to bottom. You should alternate between the upholstery brush, narrow attachment, and carpet attachment to thoroughly vacuum each and every surface on your desk and in your office. Pay attention to the areas you dusted and vacuum up any loose dust the cloth didn’t capture.
3. Disinfect. that mouse and office phone: the keypad, headset, mouthpiece, the whole thing.
4. Consistency. Put a reminder on your calendar to clean and organize your desk weekly or bi-weekly. A cleaning routine will make it easier next time. Even better, keep disinfectant wipes near your desk so you can give everything a quick wipe-down between cleaning days.

How to Organize an Office

• Remove clutter that doesn’t belong. A few plants, photos or small trinkets are okay.
• Create two areas on your desk: one for computer work, the other for non-computer work.
• Use zip ties to bundle electrical cords together.
• Keep a trash can near your desk to make it easy to toss trash and recycle papers.
• Separate documents by using a stacking document tray.
• Hang shelves or whiteboards on the wall.

How to Clean a Keyboard

1. Shake it out! You may want to do this outside or over a trash bin.
2. Use a can of compressed air to force the remaining dust and food particles out from behind the keys.
3. No canned air? Try folding a Sticky Note in half with the sticky part facing out. Run it through the cracks on your keyboard to collect debris.
4. Dip cotton swabs in alcohol and swipe them between the keys.
5. Spray disinfectant on a cloth and wipe the top of the keyboard.

How to Clean a Computer Monitor

1. Disconnect the monitor and wipe it down with a damp microfiber cloth.
2. Use a vacuum with an upholstery brush to remove dust in the vents.
3. Spray glass cleaner on a cloth to clean the glass.
4. Finally, use a can of compressed air to remove any remaining dust in the cracks and crevices.

How to Clean an Office Chair

Your office chair literally supports you on the job.

1. Look for an upholstery tag, which will guide cleaning practices.
2. Use a vacuum with an upholstery brush to remove any loose dust or debris.
3. Use a microfiber cloth and an all-purpose cleaning spray to wipe down any hard surfaces or parts.
4. If the cushion fabric is water-safe, use a spray bottle with a few drops of dish soap to spot-clean the fabric. Use this cleaning method for mesh and plastic office chairs.
5. To clean upholstery that isn’t water-safe, fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and 20 drops of essential oils. Use this to disinfect the fabric and remove spots or stains.
6. To clean leather office chairs, mix a few drops of dish soap with a half-gallon of warm water. Use a cloth to wipe down the leather with this solution, but don’t saturate the leather. Once you’re finished, apply a leather conditioner to maintain the fabric.
7. Lubricate any moving parts with a spray lubricant. Silicone spray works great.
