Outsourcing your company’s
cleaning service to a professional commercial cleaning company will not only
give your business a sparkling appearance; it will save you time, keep you
healthy, save you money, and it will allow you to return your focus on your business
and your customers.
Though your employee might do
a decent job at keeping your workspace habitable, it doesn’t mean they’re doing
a good job of keeping your workspace clean. Simply put, cleanliness is rarely a
priority for businesses, so most just do the bare minimum to keep up with
appearances (i.e., vacuum now and then, keep kitchen and bathroom areas tidy,
etc.). And while this might save time for more “important” tasks, a messy
workspace can actually inhibit your workers from completing these tasks and
focusing on your customers. Here are seven reasons to outsource your cleaning:
1. It Saves
You Time.
Why stretch yourself thin
(or ask your employees to do double duty) trying to manage your business and
clean and maintain your office, building, or warehouse? Typically, commercial
cleaning services can cover a wide range of tasks such as polishing floors,
dusting, and restroom sanitation, and even air vent cleaning. Cleaning service
companies are experts at what they do, and because of this, they can
efficiently handle all aspects of keeping your business clean. You can rest
assured that your business is in good hands and will always have a positive
presentation to your customers.
2. It Keeps
You – and Your Employees – Healthy.
Aside from taking the burden of cleaning off of yourself or your employees,
commercial cleaning companies can help give your employees peace of mind.
Employees are usually more productive and feel more secure when their workplace
is clean and healthy. High quality, professional cleaning services help to
eliminate the spread of germs and prevent illnesses, and keep your employees
safe, healthy, and in the workplace.
3. It Saves
You Money.
Outsourcing your
commercial cleaning needs can save you money, too. Even though there is a cost
associated with hiring a cleaning service, you can actually save money in the
long run by not having to invest in commercial grade cleaning products, vacuum
cleaners, floor polishers, or other professional, commercial grade equipment needed
to clean your workplace, because the cleaning company supplies these things. By
utilizing professionals who are properly trained to operate cleaning equipment,
you also minimize the chance that an untrained employee may be injured, or your
property may be damaged, and thus eliminate potential costly repairs or
insurance claims.
4. It Means a
Safer Work Environment.
Keeping your
workplace clean means keeping your workplace safe. Not only are offices a
breeding ground for germs and bacteria, but an untidy workspace in a
manufacturing facility can also lead to accidents and possibly injury. Though
you might be sanitizing surfaces areas now and then or “keeping an eye on
things” in the warehouse, no one does a better job than the trained commercial
cleaning professionals. For example, when was the last time you cleared your
HVAC air system of all its dust and germs? Commercial cleaning services do more
than just sanitize the desks and scrub the toilets; they make sure your entire
workspace is clean – even down to the air particles you breathe. And at a time
when the average worker in the U.S costs businesses $230/year due to workplace
absenteeism caused by personal illness, paying for cleaning services doesn’t
seem all that bad.
5. It means less stress.
Your employees are your top priority, but we all know
the worst part about cleaning is the fact that it’s, well, cleaning. As a kid,
you dreaded doing these chores, and it’s likely that not much has changed
today. As a result, you’ve probably neglected a few things here and there along
the way. For commercial cleaners, however, doing these tasks is just another
day on the job. In fact, we’ll even work around your work schedule to make sure
you aren’t bothered by our presence. Rather than spending time doing something
that stresses you out, leave the cleaning up to the pros and spend more time
working on what matters most to you.
6. You’ll have more productive workers.
There have been numerous studies on workplace
productivity and workplace cleanliness, and they all point towards one thing: a
cleaner workplace leads to happier, more productive workers. In a survey by
OfficeMax of more than 1,000 U.S. adults, 90% admit that unorganized clutter
has a negative impact on their life, with 77% claiming that their productivity
is affected the most. Additionally, in a study conducted at Brigham Young
University, 88% of respondents report that visible buildups of dirt and dust
can actually hinder their ability to concentrate, be productive, and learn.
Want more productive workers? Hire a commercial cleaner to keep your workspace
tidy and clean.
7. Your workplace will look more professional.
Did you know that 35% of workers feel ashamed or
embarrassed when other people see their workspace? That’s because Americans often
associate cleanliness with professionalism. If you don’t look like an organized
professional, you won’t be perceived as one, and there’s nothing more
embarrassing than having your customers and clients view your business as
unprofessional. By hiring a commercial cleaning service, however, they’ll make
sure your business looks top notch, both inside and out. Whether it means power
washing your parking lot and building, washing your windows, or making sure
your work or retail spaces are 100% clean, commercial cleaners can certainly
help your brand build a reputation around professionalism.
