The idea behind Seiso is more than just cleaning. It is a form of preventive maintenance. Dirt and grime can affect machinery and electronics, so they must be swept away. The time spent cleaning should be a time to check components, connections, fluid levels and the like.
Today I was able to clean about a quarter of my office, the part that isn’t buried in a pile of undifferentiated crapola. But I feel like I’ve opened the Chi somewhat.
