Back From the Long Weekend? Refresh Your NYC Office With These Monday Cleaning Tips

Monday back from a long weekend

We get it—coming back to the office after a long weekend can feel like Monday turned up to 11. But walking into a cluttered, stale space only makes it worse. At Breezy Cleaning, we believe a clean office is the first step to reclaiming your workweek like a pro.

Here’s how to bounce back from holiday haze and give your NYC office the refresh it deserves:

1. Do a Quick Visual Sweep

Before diving into meetings and emails, take five minutes to scan your space. Are there overflowing trash cans? Empty coffee cups? Dusty desks? A quick once-over gives you an instant game plan.

2. Start With Trash & Recycling

Long weekends usually mean neglected bins. Toss out any lingering food or paper waste before the smell or clutter gets distracting. Pro tip: take a peek inside the office fridge... it might be time for a purge.

3. Wipe Down High-Touch Surfaces

Keyboards, phones, door handles—these are germ magnets. Especially after a few days off, giving them a quick disinfecting wipe can prevent the post-holiday sniffles from spreading around the office.

4. Air It Out

A good view can help the Monday blues

Offices that sit unused can get stuffy. Crack a window if possible, or give your HVAC a gentle nudge. Fresh air can give your brain (and your coworkers) a much-needed reboot.

5. Reclaim Your Desk

Return to a workspace that feels ready for action. File stray papers, dust your monitor, and give your desk a once-over with a microfiber cloth. It’s not just about appearances—it’s about productivity.

6. Bring the Vibe

Mondays are tough. Coming back from a long weekend? Even tougher. Consider bringing in fresh flowers, a scented diffuser, or a team coffee run to boost morale. Cleanliness + good vibes = strong start to the week.
