The pressure from customers to reduce costs is greater than ever due to the current economic climate. Many companies are now reviewing overheads across their business and looking to see where savings can be made. In terms of office cleaning, reduced budgets will ultimately lead to a lower level of service, so it’s about taking a logical, common sense approach that balances savings opportunities against critical business needs.
Reducing the frequency of the office cleaning operation offers immediate cost savings, with some companies switching from a daily service to alternate days. However, some businesses have taken more extreme measures, which in my opinion is a mistake. For example, if a company is to introduce a deep clean just one day a week and then rely on its staff to maintain the cleanliness of the building for the remainder of the week, this will not only distract employees from their day-to-day roles, but also result in much poorer working conditions by the end of each week.
Careful Planning
Better planning offers a more effective alternative to simply reducing office cleaning across a business. One of the simplest ways of reducing costs is taking a close look at the overall office cleaning operation to focus resources to make the most of budgets. By classifying areas as either high or low profile it is possible to adapt the office cleaning regime to concentrate on critical requirements.
Typically, areas such as the office reception, entrance, washroom, meeting rooms and boardroom are seen as high profile, whilst back office and administrative spaces are seen as low profile. Mind you there is still a fine balance, because cutting back too much on low profile areas can damage the working environment for office staff and have an adverse impact on workforce motivation.

Copy Paper
” Copy Paper “
Buying copy paper used to be a pretty simple task for the majority of small business owners & consumers. Increasingly though, it is getting much more difficult, and we’re met with a huge array of choices.
This is particularly true for the environmentally-minded purchaser who is trying to purchase greener copy paper and needs to evaluate the environmental benefits relating to each product. It isn’t necessarily clear to folks what “recycled content” signifies and what the most eco-friendly types of recycled content are.
Consequently, I’ve come up with a short list highlighting 2 of the most significant green aspects associated with recycled printer paper and other goods. These are the things you should evaluate when making your purchase:
1) Recycled Content - This is one of the most important factors to consider. When you’re purchasing copy paper, pencils, file folders, etc you should really look and see how much recycled material is in the product. Is it 10% or is it 80%? Usually, products with greater levels of recycled content will cost a bit more, but if you’re a smart buyer or if you purchase in bulk you can still find really great deals on office products with substantial levels of recycled material.
2) Post-Consumer Recycled Material - There are two main types of recycled content: post consumer and pre-consumer. Post consumer recycled content means that the content was used and discarded (or put in a recycling container) by a consumer (e.g., you or me) not a company. Pre consumer recycled content means that the content used to make the product could have just been thrown away during the production process (e.g., trimmings from paper while slicing the paper into 8.5″ X 11″ size sheets). Post-consumer material is regarded as having a larger environmental benefit than pre-consumer material due to the fact that post-consumer waste is much more likely to wind up in a landfill in the event that it isn’t recycled.

Shredder
” Shredder “
So you’ve finally settled on a shredder for your office, and you are wondering what else you might need to go along with it? Here are a few necessary accessories that will keep your shredder running like new, and will make normal maintenance a breeze.
Oil or Oil Sheets
If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: shredders need to be oiled. Oiling is a necessary part of shredder maintenance that keeps the machine’s cutting heads clean and free of collected debris, as well as just enabling overall lubrication of the cutting mechanism.
While most manufacturers do a good job of informing their customers of this fact, it is surprising the number of users who remain unaware. One common recommendation is that your shredder be oiled every time the bin is emptied, and that seems to be a fairly reasonable maintenance schedule (though you should do what your manufacturer recommends).
So how do you oil your shredder? Well, there are a couple of different ways. First of all, of course you are going to have to locate and purchase whatever type of shredder oil recommended by the maker of your machine. After having done so, the the most simple and common method of oiling your shredder is to take a normal sheet of paper and squirt a Z pattern of oil onto it. Then just run the paper through the shredder as you would any other sheet of paper.
If you like (and if your manufacturer recommends) you can also run your shredder in reverse for a minute or so to further clean out the cutting heads and insinuate the oil into the mechanism.
