The short answer

Clear the desk daily, wipe high-touch surfaces weekly, and dust electronics with a dry microfiber cloth. Keep papers contained, empty the trash often, and vacuum under the desk and chair.

Many Weston residents work from home at least part of the week, in houses tucked along roads like Godfrey Road West and Pent Road, near places like Lachat Town Farm and Devil's Den Preserve. When the office is down the hall, it gets used every day. Dust, coffee rings, and paper piles add up faster than in a room you only pass through.

Daily

  • Clear dishes and cups from the desk.
  • File or stack papers in one tray.
  • Wipe spills right away.

Weekly

  1. Dust the desk, shelves, and window sill.
  2. Wipe the keyboard, mouse, phone, and chair arms.
  3. Dust screens with a dry microfiber cloth. Follow the maker's guidance before using any liquid.
  4. Empty the trash and recycling.
  5. Vacuum, including under the desk and around the chair base.

Electronics

Turn off and unplug devices before cleaning. Never spray liquid directly on electronics. Dust cables and the back of the desk, where dust collects behind equipment.

The video call background

Whatever shows behind you on calls, like shelves, art, or a window, deserves a quick dust once a week. It is the part of the house your colleagues see.

Privacy

If you have confidential documents or equipment, put them away before a cleaning visit, or let us know which surfaces to skip.
