Proper hygiene at office is essential for a healthy work atmosphere. Chaitrali Sardesai throws light on cleanliness measures that must be practiced at work
Imagine working in a cabin or cubicle full of sprawling papers, files, spilled food, stench, water all around, muddy footprints and dust everywhere. It surely brings a frown and shudder to us. This and much more prevail at most offices, where cleanliness is totally neglected. Here are some cleanliness tips that will help maintain a fresh office environment:
Personal hygiene
Start your day with a toothbrush and toothpaste along with a clean bath, followed by a set of ironed clothes. Perfumes and deodorants must be used in a limit. While you pack your lunchboxes and laptop bags before rushing to work, don't forget to put in your deodorant.
Wearing the same clothes without washing them will cause foul odour which will trouble you as well as your colleagues. Another aspect to remember is to cover your mouth with a handkerchief if you cough or sneeze. Do not remove your shoes at work - Socks since all the dirt passes in the air making it unhealthy to breathe. Pallavi Shivarkar, a Corporate Services Manager at a well-known IT company says, "Cleanliness and hygiene should not only be limited to your cabin and floor, but also should be considered for the entire premises. We normally spend a majority of our time in our office. A company's administration panel should ensure that every corner of your office is cleaned on a daily basis. All the employees should maintain proper hygiene too. The people working around you form a part of your environment. Having the entire building or complex
clean will reflect well for yourself and those dropping by, into your office." Personal grooming and cleanliness is your very first step to a clean atmosphere.
Keep your work space clean
Look around your cubicle or desk and make sure you keep everything in its place. "Invest in an air cleaner and purifier as it keeps the air in office clean and fresh. Air cleaners help to eliminate any bad odours. If your office is carpeted, make sure it is vacuumed once in two days atleast. We ensure all these at our workplace," says Praful Menon, Director at an investment banking company. When you eat at work, use a mat so that you don't spill anything on your desk or on the floor. Once you finish with your meal, close your lunchbox tight. Also, wipe your desk before you begin your work again. If you order a snack or food from an eatery, discard the boxes, wrappers and tissues as soon as you are done with it. Make sure every corner of your office has a dustbin with a lid so
that no flies mount up on the garbage. This will also keep the smell of food away. If you come across anyone littering the office, you may clean it up yourself or suggest him/her to use the waste paper baskets.
Washroom sanitation
Clean toilets should be maintained at every workplace. It is a basic necessity for every employee. When you use the washroom, do not make it wet. After you are done with the toilet seat, lift it up so that the water drains off automatically. Don't forget to flush. It can be rather disgusting to find remains of waste in the pots and used tissues all over the toilet.
Throw your used ones in the bin. Many a times, the waste baskets inside the washrooms are overfull and ignored. Have someone to discard the rubbish in a garbage dump every single day and wash the dustbin often. The extra tissue hanging from the tissue roll should be rolled back so that it looks tidy. Exhaust fans are good to absorb the odour. Fixing a freshener inside is an excellent option too. If you carry out these practices before leaving the washroom, it will be a pleasant visit for the next person going in.
So for all the working men and women, if you want to work at a spic and span office, it is time you begin practising all these measures right away. Make all your colleagues aware of these hygiene measures at work and together you can make your way to clean up!
