"Learning how to create a home office is only one step in building a productive workspace: you'll also need to learn how to maintain it. Don't worry - you don't need to set an entire day aside to focus on cleaning your home office. While this ritual can help you reset for the week if that's your style, you can also adopt a daily cleaning routine that spaces out your chores and keeps mess to a minimum, starting with a handful of common tasks."
"If you work the typical eight-hour workday, then that can add up to over three dozen hours each week spent at your computer. This means hours of touching your keyboard, mouse, and other electronics, which can hold onto a lot of grime and germs."
"Fortunately, unless you're working with a multi-purpose space, there's typically less to clean in your home office compared to other areas - no bathtubs or toilets to scrub, sinks of dishes to empty, or beds to make. However, there may be more tasks than first meets the eye, from cleaning those easy-to-miss areas like light switches or knobs to wiping down your desk."
A home office requires regular maintenance through brief daily cleaning tasks that prevent buildup and reduce weekend chore loads. Typical home offices have fewer major cleaning needs than other rooms but include easy-to-miss areas such as light switches, knobs, and desktops. Electronics accumulate grime and germs from hours of handling, so unplugging and safely wiping keyboards, mice, and screens daily helps sanitize the workspace. High-traffic surfaces like doorknobs and drawer pulls benefit from regular wiping. Spacing chores into short breaks, such as lunch or after work, keeps the space tidy and supports sustained productivity without dedicating an entire day to cleaning.
