It is your responsibility to make your office a hygienic and clean place

The job of cleaning the premises of the office is generally the employer's responsibility, but as a good staff of the office, it also becomes your duty to perform the job at your level. The job of cleaning the office starts before starting your day to day work schedule. It is the responsibility of the staff as well as the house keeping team to check that the working environment in the office is comfortable, clean and hygienic. The overall environment of the office is responsible to  a large extent for the quality of work and the total productivity of its staffs. On a daily basis, it is the duty of the house keeping staffs to look after each and every area of the office such as office desk, open space, pantry, etc and keep it sparkling clean.

The office cleaning procedure, along with its work guideline is quite an important document of the company's manual. Generally these instructions are very elaborate that have been inspired by the high quality guidelines of a number of bodies and experts. But, the shorter version of the cleaning document is kept in some visible area of the office from where any one can pick it up and read it. Theabridged version of the document also contains a form that mentions when the office was cleaned last. The form has to be updated by the employee who performs the last cleaning job. Further, the supervisor signs it after checking the work so as to examine the cleaning activity at his level.
 
The office cleaning job can also be performed by an attentive staff but he cannot perform the cleaning job beyond his desk. Cleaning your own work area takes very small time as the area you have to clean is  pretty small. Before starting the daily work routine, you must examine your desk to check if all the things, such as pens, files and papers are kept in their assigned place. You must also arrange your chair, desktop and other things that you use on day to day basis. If you are not able to do certain cleaning job, you can take the help of the cleaning staffs who will be pretty glad to help you.

If on a particular day you are expecting a few guests in your office, you can keep a cleaner for the entire day to do an elaborate cleaning exercise. Surprise checks in workplaces are very good for this purpose as they can make the employees aware about their work area. If you are the boss of the office, train your employee to give priority to the cleanliness of the working area. People spend the entire weekdays in their office, and therefore it is very important to look after the cleanliness of the office and it becomes the responsibility of each and every staff to make it a good place to work at.
