Always a good strategy.

Tidy meaning covered in dirt, grime and crumbs on the floor?
It takes very little effort to maintain some semblance of relative cleanliness in our workspace. People would look at you, rightfully so, as a psycho if you tolerated that kind of mess and any other part of your life.
Give it a try. Actually wipe up that coffee you spilled on the pedestal or sidewalk. Maybe wipe down a panel. Get crazy and ask someone to clean the carpet or, perish the thought, do it yourself.
A clean and professional work space goes a bit beyond “ we picked up our paperwork before we left”.
If there are no means available then so be it. That’s rarely the case.
