How to clean your desk
If you are not sure where to start cleaning, first start cleaning with the equipment that is on top of your desk. The office utensils and equipment that you most probably use, such as pens, rulers, scissors, stapler, hole punch, calculator and folders should be wiped thoroughly with antibacterial disinfectant wipes. From there, move on to your desk accessories such as, desk lamps, fans, phone, desktop organisers, frames, and plants. Make sure to wipe down each item carefully with the disinfectant cleaning wipes.
Secondly, once you have cleaned and cleared everything off your desk, wipe down every surface to remove any accumulated dust with a dry cleaning cloth or flick duster, including your monitor. Over time dirt and germs build up onto your computer screen, keyboard, and mouse. Cleaning a computer requires more care to avoid causing any damage to it. Use computer friendly products to disinfect your PC. There are many products from multipurpose antibacterial screen and keyboard wipes to air dusters and micro fibre cloths to avoid scratches.
Lastly, your desk surface contains roughly 21,000 bacteria. Therefore, do not forget to wipe down every inch of your desk with multi surface, antibacterial or disinfectant spray. After deep cleaning your desk, you can polish the surface for that final touch and shine.
How often should you clean your desk?
If you use your desk frequently, you should prioritise cleaning and disinfecting at least once a week. In between these deeper cleans, aim to sanitise regularly to help minimize the risk of spreading germs further.
