With the start of fall, change is inevitable. Leaves begin changing color, many of us switch our closets around to feature our warmer clothes, and it is also time to change our office cleaning habits! While many only associate deep cleaning with spring, fall is the perfect time to complete another round of deep cleaning to make sure your offices shine and impress potential customers.
We specialize in office
cleaning services for Minnetonka and the surrounding areas. This fall,
we’ve consolidated a list of cleaning tips from our professionals.
1. Purge and Declutter the Office
Each season, create more space in your office with purging
and decluttering. If items don’t work or won’t be used – get rid of them. If
they can be donated or recycled, it is even better! Once everything you cannot
or will not use is out of the way, focus on cutting the clutter. Leaving your
office cluttered only creates more nooks and crannies to be cleaned all year long
– and if they are missed, they can accumulate dust, leaving you and your employees
sneezy.
2. Spot Clean Furniture
Have you noticed a spot or stain on any furniture in your
office? If you have, now is the perfect time to take care of it! While spots
are easier to treat if you do so right away, you can still take the time to use
your favorite cleaning product or hack to try to scrub out those stains.
3. Clean Light Fixtures, Thoroughly
Light fixtures can easily be overlooked when performing your
own office cleaning, but they are a hotspot for dust and bugs. At least
seasonally you should ensure that your light fixtures are thoroughly cleaned to
protect the health of you, your customers and employees.
4. Clean Computers
While you are already in a cleaning kick, look at your
computers! Chances are your screens, keyboards and mouses have some dust and
dirt built up. Not sure how to clean them effectively? Check out our guide
to cleaning office equipment!
5. Clean Carpets
If your office has carpets, they are probably long overdue
for a thorough cleaning. With employees and customers tracking in dirt from
their shoes every day, carpets can house a lot of dirt and increase allergies even
in the off seasons! We recommend having full carpet maintenance
performed, or at minimum using your best carpet cleaner to get out what dirt
you can.
6. Wash Walls
For offices with painted or wood paneled walls, seasonal
cleaning is a great time to wash your walls as well. Employees and customers
may lean against or slide their hands against walls while walking along, which
can cause dirt and germs to get stuck to them.
7. Wash Windows
Finally, fall is a perfect time for a full window
washing service! We highly recommend hiring a professional for this step,
as washing the outside of second-story or higher windows can be dangerous
without the proper equipment and training.
8. Hire Professional Office Cleaning Services

normal tasks at work, but don’t worry! The professionals at All Source can take
care of most of your seasonal checklist for you, without you having to lift a
finger. Don’t get bogged down with the extra work, instead let our
professionals help you complete this list and more!
