IN THE NEWS

As the leaves change and the air cools, fall becomes the perfect time for a deep clean of your office space. Before winter weather and year-end deadlines take over, a thorough seasonal clean-up can boost employee wellness, productivity, and overall workplace appearance.

At Modern of Edmonton North, we know that a fresh, well-organized space sets the tone for a successful winter season. Here’s your ultimate guide to fall cleaning your office—with expert tips and the professional help you need to get it done right.

Declutter and Reorganize

Fall is an ideal time to do a full sweep of desks, drawers, supply closets, and shared spaces.

• Purge what you don’t need – Remove broken office supplies, old documents, and unused furniture.
• Organize what remains – Use bins, folders, and shelves to give everything a place.
• Go digital where possible – Shred outdated paperwork and switch to digital storage to reduce clutter.

Decluttering creates physical space—but it also creates mental space, helping your team feel more focused and energized heading into winter. Also, it is much easier to clean surfaces properly if they are not cluttered.

Sanitize High-Touch Surfaces

Cold and flu season is just around the corner. Fall is the perfect time to do a thorough wipe-down of high-touch surfaces, including:

• Door handles
• Light switches
• Keyboards and mice
• Shared phones and desks
• Breakroom counters and appliances

While in the height of the cold and flu season, regular disinfecting is recommended of high touch surfaces is recommended. It’s also important to bring in a professional cleaning crew to handle deep sanitation and ensure germs aren’t lingering in hard-to-reach areas during the season.

Focus on Floors and Carpets

Autumn often means more dirt and moisture being tracked indoors. Leaves, mud, and wet shoes from rain can wear down floors and get embedded in carpets—making them look worn and feel unhygienic.

Now’s the time to:

• Deep clean the carpets
• Strip and wax hard floors
• Clean mats and entryways

Professional floor care can prolong the life of your assets and help prevent costly replacements down the line.

Windows, Vents, and Air Quality

HVAC systems work overtime in winter, and often indoor air quality becomes a concern. Fall deep cleaning should include:

• Cleaning vents and ceiling fans
• Cleaning interior and exterior windows

This improves natural light, airflow, and energy efficiency—making your office more comfortable and healthier throughout the colder months.
