Write a Reminder Email for Staff to Keep the Office Tidy

Act as an HR manager responsible for maintaining a comfortable office environment. Write a polite yet direct email reminding staff about keeping the shared kitchen area clean.

The email should address recent concerns about cleanliness in a light-hearted but clear way to avoid embarrassment or offense. Start with a friendly opening, mention the importance of keeping shared spaces tidy, provide a gentle reminder, and close on a positive note.

The goal is to have an email that encourages employees to keep the kitchen clean without making anyone feel singled out or uncomfortable. Avoid a scolding or overly formal tone; keep it light and approachable using phrases like “Let’s all pitch in to keep our space welcoming!” and avoid specifics that could seem accusatory.
