Spring Cleaning Your Office Desk 
Your desk is a germaphobes nightmare.Interesting, considering your home is spotless andyour car is shined to the max. Yet, for some strangereason, you let the place where you spend themajority of your time go to hell. Reorganizingfolders and stacking papers does not constitutecleaning. It's time you devoted some elbow grease.You can't rely on your company's cleaning service.(Don't believe me? Run your finger over the top of that cabinet.)A clean environment comes along with many benefits, including: better organization, better health and an overall positive feeling. Respect your work environment and it willrespect you. In honor of the first day of spring, here are some quickie tips on cleaningyour desk and everything on it.
Swiffer.
Possibly the best household cleaning item ever invented, the ridges pick up dust,lint and other nasties that have settled on your desk.
Clorox Wipes.
After all of the solid waste is eliminated, it's time to bring in themoisture. These wet wipes, pre-moistened with cleaners and disinfectants, will kill germsand leave the smell of "clean." Yes, clean has a scent!
Can of Lysol.
Spray on items that are shared such as pens, door knobs and handles. Thissimple spray will help you kill what's quickly becoming an activePetri Dish.
Febreeze.
Freshen up your cloth seat with this odor eater.
Alcohol Swabs.
Clean earwax and saliva from your phone, a hotbed of germ activity.Also good to use on tape dispensers, staplers and other desk supplies. Just make sure youwipe all metal parts dry in order to avoid rust.
Shake Out Your Keyboard.
Especially if you eat at your desk. After you shake out all of the crumbs and dead skin (sorry!) grab a canister of  canned air .Hold your keyboard over  a garbage can, the force of the spray should shake lose all remaining particles.
Dust Out Your Mouse.
If you haven't gone optical, get out the tweezers and remove the buildup slowing down the ball. These contraptions accumulate lint which hinders their  performance.
DustBuster the Carpet.
The cleaning staff at your building has a routine, andvacuuming daily is probably not part of it. If you end up making a mess, don’t wait onthe sleepy staff to come around for a clean up; take matters into your own hands.
