Dusting is one of those tasks that require a lot of attention. There are many different sources of dust, and it comes in various forms. As a result of this, it is important to maintain your dusting schedule. Dusting is an essential task that your employees need to do in all the office building. However, visible dust provides unattractive workspace which can make people abandon the work environment. Clean office buildings offer a pleasant and positive impression to all building occupants and visitors. A clean working environment also promotes good work habits, reduce absenteeism and promote neatness.

Dusting 101

  • You can start dusting high surfaces and work downward. Dusting can be done from one side of the room and move counterclockwise or clockwise direction.
  • Clean movable objects like paperweights, pictures and phones, dust under the objects and place them back to their original position.
  • Dust off smudges and spots on desks, windows and walls, etc. with a moist green microfiber duster as you move around the office premises. Don’t forget to wash the duster when it becomes dirty using only water.
  • When dusting flat TV screens or computer monitors in the conference room, you can use a dry microfiber duster and clean lightly. Don’t use tissue paper, paper towels, or window cleaner because they can damage or scratch the screen.
  • Make sure you dust across the top when cleaning window blinds. After, close the blinds and dust the entire surface. You can close one side of the curtains and dust the exposed surface area.
  • Lastly, you can use a vacuum to get rid of dust and clean unexposed surface including upholstered furniture.
