Focusing is much easier in a nice clean home office and I enjoy starting off my work week with a smooth productive day.

Today let’s tackle cleaning the desktop.
Forget the “gentle” name brand chemical cleaners and reach for the best green cleaner I have used – vinegar.

Mix a solution of 50% white vinegar with 50% water.  Use an old white cotton t-Shirt for a rag.  Put the vinegar solution on the rag and wipe off your desk. 

I keep a reusable spray bottle of the 50-50 solution in my office so it’s always handy for coffee spills or any other cleaning needs.
Vinegar kills around 99% of household bacteria, it environmentally friendly and it’s CHEAP.

If the vinegar smell bothers you, do your wipe down right before you plan to leave the office for at least a 15 minute break.  Vinegar evaporates into the air quickly so the smell won’t linger long.  When weather permits I like to open my window.   

Make clean break with your chemical cleaners, you’ll be glad you did.

Tell me how you clean your home office the green way.
