How to Clean Your Electronically Loaded Office
Do you have an office that is loaded with electronic equipment? Who doesn’t these days? That is how we function in today’s world, no more electric typewriters, (some are asking what are they?) word processors and as some of you go back even farther, to the days of manual typewriters. The electric typewriters were a little more touchy about spilling things on them, but today, if you want to fry your keyboard, just accidentally dump your pop or coffee on one and you are finished.
So how do we clean that equipment? There are spray cans full of air, but they are hazardous to your health and can even kill you, by depleting your oxygen level. So now your keyboard is clean but you are dead, or you may have frostbite on your fingers. Well that won’t do, so what are some other alternatives.
Another, much more healthy and green alternative to cleaning your office and your office equipment is by using microfiber cloths, towels and mops.
A microfiber suede cloth is just the ticket for cleaning your computer keyboard, monitor, CD’s, printers, fax machines, even those cameras. Its fine, soft texture cleans without scratching and leaves your equipment dust and lint free. Just remember to always clean your equipment with a clean cloth, as the dirt in the cloth can scratch.
If you have windows, mirrors or pictures in your office, clean them with a damp microfiber cleaning cloth and dry them with another cloth; or for just cleaning the windows you can mist them with a spray bottle of water and dry with a microfiber cloth. Then you will have clean, streak free, beautiful windows, pictures and mirrors in your office.
Do you hate to dust those knickknacks and treasures in your office? Who has time for cleaning when you’re working? But now and then we do need to clean up our offices, for dust is hard on electronic equipment, and we do need to get rid of the dirt.
One way of getting rid of the dirt is by dusting all those treasures with a microfiber cloth. The microfibers will pick up the dirt pulling it into the cloth, not pushing it around, and you don’t need a spray either; sprays add pollutants to our environment, which you don’t want. So just dampen an all purpose microfiber cloth or a suede cloth and wipe away. Soon you will have all those treasures clean without resorting to using sprays or chemicals.
Got a hard surface floor? Just dust or wet mop it with a microfiber mop, for microfiber even picks up the fine dust; no more vacuuming after sweeping with a microfiber mop.
So there you have it, how to green clean your office, without chemical cleaners.
