A clean and tidy office space is important for several reasons. Not only does it provide a more favorable impression for visitors and employees who spend time there, it promotes productivity, encourages professionalism, improves indoor air quality, and can potentially boost your overall business. Proper office space cleaning is necessary. Since we love to clean, we love to write about cleaning too!
Office Cleaning
Here a few of our top reasons to keep your office space clean and orderly:
1 – First Impression Always Counts!
A clean office space can be quite appealing and welcoming to your business prospects. It sends a positive signal that you do business with a high level of efficiency and attention to detail.
Conversely, an unkept office space with spotty or streaked floors, smudgy partition glass, disordered chairs and table, stale air, etc. can potentially have the opposite effect on your prospects. If your office space fails to make a positive first impression, it could jeopardize an important business opportunity. A clean and organized office can be an effective marketing tool that makes that positive statement about your business. Make the effort to clean your office space on a regular basis. Or hire a professional office cleaning service to help provide the cleaning needed for a good first impression.
2 – Fewer Sick Days; More Productive Days
Germs and viruses can be present everywhere people gather. An office space is no exception. Frequent employee absenteeism due to sickness signals the need to take more precautions to eliminate germs spreading within your office. Proper maintenance in your office should be an essential interest to you. Sick days can be turned into productive days when you ensure proper hygiene maintenance with proper and regular office cleaning. Sanitizing and disinfecting restroom floors and various touch points will help prevent germs spreading between people.
In addition to germs, mold and pests (often caused by food debris) can be a source of problems leading to absenteeism. Proper office cleaning can help avoid these problems and help protect building occupants.
3 – Environmentally-Friendly
In recent years, the use of green cleaning products has been on the rise. In fact, green cleaning is a much-needed call of our time. The janitorial industry takes seriously the concept of preserving the environment and health of workers by reducing exposure to harsh chemicals. Thus, opting for green cleaning for office space is a call to duty we believe is especially important.
We at Square Feat want to do our part to protect the environment and health of our workers and customers. Therefore, we exclusively offer green clearing services for commercial spaces. Please, see details about our green cleaning service here.
Properly maintained floors and carpets prevent excessive wear and tear that can lead to a shortened life. Properly maintaining hard floors, especially porous vinyl commercial tile floors, improves the functionality and cleanability of these floors. It also provides protection to help prevent staining and excessive wear.
When carpets accumulate dirt from regular foot traffic, it is not always noticeable on the surface. But if not properly vacuumed on a regular basis, over time, this dirt can begin to wear on the fibers of the carpet from the abrasive action of the soils. A maintenance program which includes regular vacuuming can prevent excessive wear and tear of carpet fibers that leads to premature wear patterns.
5 – Removal of Particle Pollution for Improved Air Quality
Particle pollution refers to a blend of fine solid and liquid droplets dispersed in the air which vary in size and shape. They are formed of acids, inorganic compounds, chemicals, metals, dust, and biological materials. All air in the office space contains particle pollution to varying degrees. Common vacuum cleaners may not effectively remove the fine particles from floors, which can contribute to poor indoor air quality.
A cleaning program that includes correct procedures that remove these fine particles can improve the indoor air quality over time. This includes procedures that remove particulates from the workspace rather than stirring them up into the air and aggravating the problem. Periodic filter maintenance for the HVAC system is important for indoor air quality. Also, using microfiber cleaning materials, HEPA filter vacuums, and vacuuming all floors rather than sweeping can help improve the indoor quality in any office space.
6 – More Productive Office Staff
A clean and tidy office space along with orderly placed office supplies and equipment will help your employees work with more agility and efficiency. It’s more appealing and refreshing to collaborate and work with others every day when the workspace is clean, tidy, and healthy. Thus, when the environment of the workspace is optimal, an office staff can be more productive and hopefully achieve their goals for their employer more efficiently.
7 – Contribution and Boost in Country’s Economy
In the USA, it is estimated more than 3.5 million people are employed in the cleaning industry. This contributes $78 billion to the national economy at last estimate. Commercial cleaning contracts make up 31% of this figure. By hiring a professional commercial cleaning service, you play an important part in helping this economy to flourish.
But…. Isn’t regular cleaning by office staff enough to protect everything in the office and the office space itself?
Maybe. But most office staff with other regular duties may be short on time. Also, they are generally not equipped with the proper equipment, supplies, or knowledge to clean as a professional service will. Therefore, you should consider hiring a professional cleaning company that is knowledgeable in correct cleaning procedures if you want to maximize the life of building furnishings such as carpet and floors, lower the risk of germs, and provide for the optimum indoor air quality for your office.
A clean and well-organized office is essential to promote occupants’ hygiene, productivity in business, branding, care for environment, and contribution in the country’s economic cycle and growth.
