How to “Spring Clean” Your Office Furniture

 

Spring is right around the corner, which means it’s time for spring cleaning – only we’re not talking about your house this time. Just like your home, your office needs a good, deep clean every once in a while. March is the perfect time to tackle this project before spring is in full force and all the pollen starts to make its way into your space. The allergy sufferers in your office will be eternally grateful as well. That being said, our team at BE Furniture will go over some best practices for cleaning your office furniture, as well as some other solutions to help maintain office cleanliness without lifting a finger. 

Dust and Vacuum

Dust can accumulate quickly on surfaces, especially in areas with high foot traffic. Start by dusting all surfaces, including desks, shelves, and cabinets, using a microfiber cloth or a gentle cleaning solution. Don’t forget to vacuum the floors and upholstery to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated over time. Regular dusting and vacuuming not only keep your office looking clean, but also contribute to better indoor air quality.

Deep Clean Upholstered Furniture

Upholstered furniture, such as office chairs and sofas, requires special attention during spring cleaning. Use a fabric cleaner or upholstery shampoo to spot clean any stains or spills. For deeper cleaning, consider renting a steam cleaner or hiring a professional upholstery cleaning service. Freshening up your upholstered furniture not only improves its appearance, but also prolongs its lifespan.

Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces

Post COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever to prioritize cleanliness in the workplace. Disinfect commonly touched surfaces, such as door handles, keyboards, and phones, using a disinfectant spray or wipes. Pay special attention to shared spaces like break rooms and conference rooms, where germs can easily spread. By regularly disinfecting surfaces, you can help prevent the spread of illness among your team members – which usually runs rampant when the seasons change. 

Invest in Office Air Purification

Maintaining clean indoor air quality is essential for a healthy and productive work environment, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues. Consider investing in Dyson air purifiers placed throughout your workspaces to remove airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, and pet dander. These devices can help create a cleaner and more comfortable workspace for everyone with just the click of a button.
