Now that it’s officially spring, you might be wondering how you can incorporate that into your upcoming office move. Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be limited to your home, especially since it’s always a great idea to keep your workspace clean to avoid clutter and dirt that can accumulate over time. If you are one to hold on to things for a while, even if it’s been a while since you last used it (or even remembered you had), spring cleaning would be beneficial for you before you move into your new office.
Here is what you should spring clean before you hire an office moving company in Vancouver:
Your desk or workstation
It’s no surprise that this area might just be the one that needs the most attention when it comes to spring cleaning because of how long you spend your time here. Your desk or workstation is where most of your day is spent and is bound to accumulate dust along with clutter from various parts of the day. Before you hire an office moving company in Vancouver for your upcoming office move, it is important to sort through what you want to bring into your new office and what you want to get rid of. This is a great time to start packing up the things you do want to take so you can free up some space and only keep essential items on your desk while you are still working.
Office furniture
Depending on the size of your new office, you might also be considering either taking your existing furniture with you, or to purchase new furniture for the new office. Before you hire your Vancouver office moving company, you should know exactly what you want to do. If you plan on getting rid of your old furniture, there are some office moving companies in Vancouver that offer furniture disposal services where they are safely recycled if they are completely worn out, or donated to someone that could be putting it to good use in their business or home. If you require a place to store your newly purchased furniture, there are storage management services also offered that can be rented out until you are settled into your new office.
Old files and paperwork
This is probably the most common way people tend to accumulate most of their clutter, both on their computers and their actual desks. A great way to spring clean your old files and paperwork is to first decide what is important and worth keeping, and then find an appropriate place to store them. If you are looking for a place to store digital files, we recommend either storing them in a cloud based storage, or purchasing a physical external hard drive you can keep in a designated place in your office. If you have a good amount of physical paperwork you want to keep and not recycle, then you can purchase a filing cabinet where you organize and store your important files and paperwork.
Common areas around the office
Besides your actual desk and workstation, there are other places around the office that might need some spring cleaning done before you make the move into your new office. Areas such as a kitchen, communal work spaces, a board or conference room, a possible warehouse, every space that is part of your business should get some level of spring cleaning done, if not all.
