Office Cleaning

Spring clean your officeWhen it comes to the subject of spring cleaning, we automatically think about the home and garden, but it is also a great idea to spring clean the office. It can be a tough job and many businesses tend to opt for a professional cleaning service, but there is a lot that you can do as well. It is a known fact that working in a clean environment will promote productivity and enhance motivation. Every little helps when it comes to cleaning, just having a sort through and organising receipts and lose files will make a difference.

This is a great time of year to make sure everything is in an orderly file; having invoices and receipts all kept in an neat manner will become beneficial, especially when it comes to the next tax year.

After cleaning out the cupboards do an inventory for pens and other office supplies. When the order comes to the office, lay out the cupboards so everything can be easily found; nothing is worse than routing around trying to find some posted notes.

While you are in the organising frame of mind, backing up your computer (if you don’t do this on a regular occurrence), is a brilliant idea and essential!

So you are getting everything organised now in the office and you have chosen the option of getting a professional cleaner in. But wouldn’t it be great if you could get them to concentrate on all the big jobs, rather than the little jobs that you can do while you organising? Doing this will ensure your office is sparkling and the best thing is it’s really easy to do.

While you are organising filing cabinets, desk drawers and cupboards give it a good old wipe down with the help of Ajax Lemon All Purpose Cleaner. It gives excellent results every time and as it uses a special formula you will be able to use the solution for longer. Ajax All Purpose Cleaner keeps the water cleaner for longer, so there is no need to change it as often as usual.

If you want a spray, the best option for you is Clover Trigger Mix Box. This pack includes a ready to use cleaner, which is ideal for a quick spruce, ready to use glass and plastic cleaner, brilliant when wanting to put a shine on your glass meeting tables and a ready to use toilet and washroom cleaner.

With all the little jobs out of the way, your professional cleaners can now concentrate on cleaning the windows and carpet cleaning, while you sit back and continue with your everyday working routine.

Office cleaning is a piece of cake now (especially if everyone pitches in), wouldn’t you agree?


Getting ready for Easter

Removing chocolateEaster is a messy time of year, but without doubt a great one. All that chocolate is a beautiful sight, but when children get their hands on it, it seems to get everywhere; all over their hands and mouths, and when you aren’t looking; they love to put their mucky hands all over the furniture. Wrappers are also a nightmare; children love to watch you find wrappers with melted chocolate in-between sofa cushions, stuck onto the carpet and in the most unlikely of places.

So what can you do?

Be prepared and on the lookout for what your children could be doing this Easter. If you are cautious over your carpets, Prochem Neutral Pro Spotter is what you need. It is a general stain remover that can tackle most food, drink and water based stains, but the best benefit of this product is that it is a WoolSafe approved maintenance product. 

When it comes to your sofas, spot clean by dabbing a little bit of water on the stain, but be careful not to come in contact with any zips, as this could result in rusting. If your furniture is made from synthetic fibres such as polyester, it should be easy to clean. However, if it is made out of more than 50% cotton or Haitian, then a professional clean will be needed. When it comes to cleaning a leather sofa, the best products for your to use are HG Deep Cleaner for leather and HG 4 in 1 for leather. For instructions on how to use these products, take a look at Leather Cleaning Tips on Click Cleaning’s Tips and Advice page.

The easiest part of the house for you to clean, are countertops and other surfaces a like; with the simple use of a multi-purpose spray; it will be gleaming with just one stroke (depending how long the chocolate has been there for).

However, the best precaution of them all is to make sure you have stocked up on refuse sacks and bin liners, you never know how much chocolate your children will receive and how much mess they will make with the wrappers. 

Whatever you are planning this Easter, have a fantastic one.


Keeping Britain Tidy

Keep Britain TidyLondon is one of the most thought after and glamorous cities in the UK. When we think about the capital, we envision glorious city lights, incredible shops, glamorous restaurants, buzzing bars and extraordinary attractions. However, we never think of how dirty and messy the London really is.

In a recent study conducted by Keep Britain Tidy, it was revealed that over half of the city’s litter is cigarette packets. Not cigarette butts, which you can understand if there isn’t a bin nearby and you don’t want to burn your finger, but cigarette packets. If you can’t see a bin, keep it in your bag or briefcase, then throw it away when you pass one.

This is a shocking result and a huge rise from last year, when cigarette packets only accounted for 14% of waste found on the London footpaths; now it is at 62%. However, this statistic is only true of London, elsewhere in the country, fast food packets are the source of most litter found on the British streets.

This is a big concern for Keep Britain Tidy and the government, as this issue costs up to £858 million a year. Chief executive Phil Barton commented: "We need to make a change so that this country is no longer a place where it is, seemingly, acceptable for some to throw litter."

In recent news Cambridge has been adding more waste bins to help tackle this problem. It will be interesting to see what London will be doing to combat this challenge.
