Office Desk Cleaning Services

For most office workers, each day begins and ends at their desk. It’s where they live at the office, and often where they eat meals, do their best work and take breaks to maintain their productivity. Most workers’ desks take on aspects of their personality over time, with decorations and personal mementos adorning the place where they spend their working hours. Desks truly are the nerve center of the workspace, and as such, they need to be kept clean and tidy for a multitude of good reasons.

For example, even the tiniest of eaters can still drop particles of food on their desk and in desk drawers. Moreover, if we’re being completely honest, none of us is an especially tidy eater when it comes to working through lunch either. This attracts insects and other pests to the workspace as they search for food, inviting a whole host of sanitation and pest control issues.

Then there are the health concerns: leaving bits of food around to collect bacteria and germs. These pathogens breed freely and end up spreading into the air on the HVAC currents that keep the office at a comfortable temperature. Germs and bacteria spreading through the air are going to cause a serious drop in productivity, and it’s not just food that’s a concern.

Throughout the workday, everyone coughs, sneezes, blows their nose and wipes their mouth while sitting at their desk. Even with regular hand sanitizer use, germs and bacteria are left behind on the surfaces of the desk and drawers. Without regular disinfection and cleaning, these contaminants will also spread throughout the office and infect other workers.

All medical and sanitation reasons aside, there’s also the aesthetic effects to consider. No one likes looking at or working at a dirty desk. The messier a workspace is, the more difficult it is for employees to focus and accomplish their goals and objectives. Trash and empty beverage containers can exacerbate these negative effects, and create unsanitary conditions that invite further pest problems and providing more breeding grounds for germs and bacteria.

Professional cleaning and sanitizing of desks in an office is an important part of maintaining a healthy and productive workspace. The cost of not keeping desks clean and sanitized can far outweigh paying a cleaning company to maintain a clean work environment. Between labor-hours lost due to sickness and lost productivity, it’s a good idea to give hiring professional office cleaners some serious thought if you want to keep your profitability high and minimize labor losses.
