National Cleaning Week 2022
What is it?
National Cleaning Week celebrates the importance, value, and positive impact that cleaning has on public health, the environment, and the economy.
National Cleaning Week begins each year on the fourth Sunday in March, this year that is 27th March 2022 – 2nd April 2022
It is a week-long lineup of activities targeted at encouraging everyone to get cleaning! Whether that is 1 room in your home, your office desk, even your car (weather permitting!)
Not only does this make everyone feel great about getting involved, it help to raise public awareness for the value of clean spaces & appreciate front-line cleaning professionals
Why is Office Cleaning So Important?
Maintaining a clean environment helps to lower the spread of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that cause diseases and trigger allergic reactions.
It also prevents the growth of mould in our shared workspace’s, like the office kitchen for example.
Furthermore, research has shown that a clean workspace is closely associated with improved moods, decreased stress levels, and enhanced productivity.

- Why not bring in some spring flowers to brighten up the office?
Tuesday 29th March – Get shredding
- Give each member of staff a file to go through and either scan & save (if needed) and then shred the physical paper document

Friday 1st April – Wipe down the skirting boards in the corridors
