Office environments are fast paced and it's important to maintain and clean your office equipment, optimising productivity while promoting a healthy workplace. Office electronics, including computers, phones, and prints, are prone to dirt, dust, and germs, which can impact performance and shorten the lifespan of expensive office equipment.
In order to keep your office equipment functioning at their best, you need a regular cleaning and maintenance plan in place. In addition to cleaning your office equipment, a clean office environment contributes to the well-being of your employees, helping to reduce absenteeism.
Regular cleaning of office equipment is important to maintain a safe and hygienic working environment. Daily routines involves the cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces and equipment. This should be done using disinfectant sprays or wipes that are designed specifically for electronics.
A weekly cleaning schedule should always include the dusting and wiping of computer screens and keyboards. You can use a microfibre cloth, that will remove dust without damaging the equipment. Screens need to be cleaned using specifically formulated screen cleaning sprays, eliminating the risk of streaks and smudges.
When it comes to cleaning and dusting screens and keyboards, ensure you turn off the office equipment and then gently dust the surface using the dry microfibre cloth. Spray a small amount of screen cleaning solution on a microfibre cloth and gently wipe the screen until it is clean. Always allow to air dry before you turn the computer back on.
Vacuuming and cleaning inside the office equipment crevices is an important part of our deep cleaning process. Dust can quickly accumulate in hidden areas, which can cause the equipment to malfunction if ignored. Turn off the equipment before you clean. Use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool, allowing it to reach the tightest of spaces, such as the vents of the computer. You can use a soft bristled brush to remove any excess dust. Always be gentle with office equipment. We recommend deep cleaning at least every three months, or in quieter office spaces, twice per year.
When your printers and other office equipment items are cleaned and maintained regularly, you can ensure their smooth functionality, while increasing their lifespan, saving you money in the long run. Printers internal components should be cleaned according to the manufacturers guidelines. We use a soft cloth or brush to remove dust and debris from inside printers. Our team also spot check all the equipment during cleaning to identify any wear and tear.
