When cleaning an office, it's easy to overlook certain areas or items. Here are some common things that people often ignore:
1. Office Chairs – Dust and dirt can accumulate on the seat cushions, armrests, and especially underneath. Chairs often get neglected when cleaning around them.
2. Phone and Headsets – Phones, especially the receiver or mobile phone, tend to gather bacteria and grime, but they're often missed during a cleaning session.
3. Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans – Dust tends to collect on light fixtures and ceiling fans, but they often get overlooked because they're out of sight and out of reach.
4. Air Vents Grills – Air vent grills s can accumulate dust, which gets circulated throughout the office space, but they're often ignored when cleaning.
5. Behind (moveable) Furniture – It's easy to forget areas behind furniture pieces. Dust and debris can pile up in these spots over time.
6. Door Handles and Light Switches – These high-touch areas tend to gather germs but may be missed during routine cleaning, especially if a more general cleaning approach is taken.
7. Walls and Baseboards – Over time, walls and baseboards can collect dust, fingerprints, and grime, which people often don't pay attention to.
8. Trash Cans and Recycling Bins – While emptying them is important, the interior and lid are sometimes overlooked. They can become quite grimy over time.
9. Computer Screens – Smudges and dust tend to gather on screens, but they might not be cleaned as often as needed.
