I, as a Managing Director of Optimizex Inc., observed that cleanliness in our office is not on top of things. I suggest the following actions to be performed by all workers in order to keep the office clean
- It’s best to wash and dry your own dishes shortly after using them. Do not let them soak in the sink for more than a couple of hours.
- If there is not a garbage disposal, do not put food down the drain. Scrape any leftover food into the trash first before washing your dishes and rinse the sink thoroughly after washing them.
- After doing your dishes, wipe up any excess water around the sink.
- If you spill something on the counter, wipe it up.
- Likewise, if you spill something on the floor, wipe it up immediately to avoid someone slipping and falling.
- If you are cooking something in the microwave, use a plastic cover so food doesn’t splatter. If food does happen to splatter, wipe down the inside of the microwave when you are finished.
- When using the toaster, be sure to shake the crumbs out when you are done and wipe the area around the toaster as well.
- If you use the last of something, replace it immediately; examples are plastic utensils, paper towels, sugar, creamer, stir sticks, etc. If there are no replacements available, notify the office manager.
- Leftovers from parties or meetings are only fair game when left on the community kitchen counter or when the office manager sends an email saying to help yourself.
- After an office party, offer to help clean up. Usually the same employees end up cleaning, so it would be a nice change of pace for others to volunteer to pack up leftovers, wipe down tables, wash some dishes, or move furniture back to its original position.
Although cleanliness in the office is the duty of cleaning staff, but we have to recognize our individual responsibility for a clean and sanitize office environment. Please understand your individual responsibility for the cleanliness of office which will result into a quick growth of our company.
Thank you all.
