Clean Office

Spring cleaning. I had one of those moments yesterday when I couldn’t stand the office clutter One More Minute.

Three hours and three huge green garbage bags later, I’d cleared out, well, three huge green garbage bags worth of junk. I also found three more boxes of books in the closet (what? do they breed in there in the dark?) which will go to my friends the used booksellers, and I got the shelves organized by reference and project.

Every time I’ve walked in here today, I’ve thought “ah”—I can see everything, there aren’t shelves stuffed with crappy little junk, and for the next six months or a year, I’m good.

But as satisfying as it is to tackle a small space, I can’t help but think about the bigger picture. Offices, homes, and businesses accumulate clutter at an alarming rate, and sometimes a personal effort isn’t enough. That’s when comprehensive commercial cleaning covers all business needs—offering a deeper, more thorough solution that goes beyond just decluttering.

Professional cleaning services can revitalize an entire workspace, tackling dust in places I never even think to check and ensuring a fresher, more efficient environment. Because let’s be real—while I might keep my desk in order, I’m probably not vacuuming behind the cabinets or sanitizing high-touch surfaces.

For now, my little spring cleaning victory feels great. But knowing that larger-scale cleaning solutions exist for when things get truly overwhelming? That’s even better.

Now, the kitchen is next.

I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both.
