5 cleaning tips from AspenClean for making your office healthier

1. Instead of focusing on killing germs and bacteria, focus on getting rid of the carriers.  Use microfibre cloths and mop-covers, instead of cloth or paper. Microfibre is far more effective in picking up dust, dirt, hairs and lint, and microbes.

2. Clean more often with less products.

3. Try switching to natural, environmentally safe cleaning products, or using some of the homemade solutions that worked very well for Grandma (like vinegar and baking soda).

4. Add a few drops of tee tree oil to your cleaning solutions to add cleaning power.

5. Remember – regular hand washing with plain soap and water removes most micro-organisms and is the best defense against germs and bacteria.
