Learn how to clean your desk in this step-by-step tutorial.

Don’t worry, because in today’s guide you’ll learn how to clean a desk and leave it looking brand new.

You probably are wondering, how do I clean my desk?

This might be because your desk is dirty, or you think your dirty desk is distracting you from being productive. And if so, you’ve come to the right place.

So, if you want to clean your desk fast and efficiently, then let’s get started.

Step 1: Identify What You Don’t Need

If you’re like many people, you have a desk somewhere in your home that just hasn’t got cleaned for the past few...months.

But before you start cleaning, you should identify what is on your desk that you don’t need.

So, if your desk looks something like this:

messy and dirty desk that must be cleaned

Then you should identify all of the items on your desk that you don’t need.

Step 2: Throw Away Items You Don’t Need

This step is fairly straightforward. Every item on your desk that you don’t need should be thrown away, recycled, or donated.

But what if you think you need an item and aren’t sure if you should get rid of it?

Simple:

If you haven’t used an item in the past 3 months, you probably won’t ever use it again, which means it can be thrown away.

Step 3: Any Items Still On Your Desk Should Be Organized

So, you’ve identified which items on your desk you don’t need, and you’ve thrown away the items you realized aren’t necessary.

Now what?

It’s time to organize your desk.

So if you have some folders, tools, or paper still on your desk, you should organize them into piles and even better: place them in shelves near your desk.

This step will help declutter your desk and leave it spotless and free of any distracting objects.
