There is little downtime when running a business. Cleaning is often a tedious and time-consuming task to manage correctly. Attention to detail is crucial when it comes to proper cleaning and attention to detail requires time and effort from the manager. Hiring a professional cleaning service guarantees saving you time, reducing your stress and creates an immaculate work environment.
A Clean Office Promotes Better Health Inside of the Workforce
Germs cause illness which spreads like wildfire in enclosed areas. Especially if you work with the public it is necessary to disinfect your surroundings to ensure germs are not carried into the building. Even if you do not work with the public, wiping down items such as keyboards, desks, door handles and a thorough cleaning in the bathroom will drastically reduce sick days.
We all hear about some new virus every year, please do not allow your building to be ground zero.
Increase Productivity and Employee Efficiency
A clean and organized environment allows for precise and thorough work. Employees are too often hindered by the mess that accumulates around them. Like how most of us need peace and quite to work, we also need to reduce the noisiness around us in order to think clearly.
If the office is dirty or unorganized employees will not be willing to stay longer, reducing employee sustainability.
A professional cleaning company will provide an excellent return on your investment. When employees notice the care given to the building and the quality janitorial consumables (toilet paper, paper towels, clean floors, etc.) they will feel the need to work harder and stay later.
Customer Satisfaction
No one feels comfortable when you walk into your doctor’s office and it is dirty and a mess. This is the same way with messy offices and your customers. How can you have confidence paying someone for a service/product when their work environment reflects poor quality?
A clean office will help with those first impressions, never has someone complained something was ‘too clean’. Take the first initiative and guarantee customer satisfaction. The plus side is no matter how bizarre or tedious a customer complaint/request might be, a good professional cleaning company will find the solution at a moment’s notice.
Building Preservation
A professional cleaning company’s main goal is to keep a building pristine from the ground up. A lot of inhouse companies fail to pay attention to minute details that have profound effects on the building’s infrastructure in the long run. Water spots in a wall, ceiling or floor is a common report we receive from our employees. These are normally only identified when a trained professional is looking, and they are detrimental to a building’s health. Normally these water spots indicate some fault in the buildings plumbing system.
This is an issue addressed regularly with our company, so much so that we have our own plumbers on call for emergency services 24/7.
Can Cleaning be done In-house?
Some companies decide to clean their facilities using their own employees. It is mistakenly considered to be cost-effective and more efficient. However, there are major limitations to inhouse cleaning, and they are not in fact all that cost-effective. The most overlooked expenses are the supplies which are constantly needed for cleaning and maintenance. Professional companies combat this by receiving discounts from bulk orders and we reduce excess time needed to clean your office building.
A professional company will reduce your cost for supplies and minimize the excess time spent cleaning a building when it is not necessary. We have 24/7 monitoring and services. In order to increase work productivity, save on monthly janitorial supply fees, and provide a clean image for your company you must hire a professional cleaning service company.
