Home Office Cleaning Tips

Cleaning Tips · AngeleSelegna Cleaning Services

If you work from home, your desk and devices are touched all day. A short daily reset and a weekly wipe-down keep the space clean and help you focus.

Clean your devices

• Turn them off first. Shut down or unplug devices before cleaning them.
• Keyboard. Turn it upside down and tap out crumbs. Use compressed air between keys, then wipe keys with a cloth slightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.
• Monitor and laptop screen. Use a dry microfiber cloth. Do not spray liquid on the screen or use glass cleaner unless the manufacturer allows it.
• Phone and headset. Wipe them often, following the manufacturer’s cleaning advice.

Desk and chair

• Clear the desk daily. Put papers in a tray or folder at the end of each day.
• Wipe the surface weekly. Use a cleaner that is safe for the desk material, such as wood or laminate.
• Chair. Vacuum fabric chairs and wipe armrests. Check the wheels for hair and dust.
• Under the desk. Vacuum regularly. Dust and cables collect there.

Stay organized

• Manage cables. Use ties or a tray to keep cables off the floor so you can vacuum easily.
• Go paperless where you can. Scan documents you need and shred what you do not.
• No eating at the desk. Or at least wipe it right after. Crumbs attract pests and get into the keyboard.
