18 Benefits of Hiring Professional Office Cleaning Services

Contracting a professional commercial cleaning service benefits your business, workplace, and employees. The following are some of the benefits of hiring professional office cleaning services. 

Improved productivity

Office air is often contaminated with particulate matter, continuously circulating through the cooling and heating system. Polluted air decreases human cognitive function, resulting in a drop in productivity. If you want a team of eager, bright, productive employees, hire a professional office cleaning service. Look for a company that utilizes equipment that removes particulates and uses green products. 

Fewer sick days/reduced illness

Germs and viruses live on surfaces for up to 48 hours! Studies show that the average keyboard harbours 3,295 germs per square inch, 20,961 on the desktop, 1,676 on the computer mouse, and a staggering 25,127 on the phone. The sink and microwave door handles of the breakroom were found to be the grubbiest surfaces in the workplace. Maintaining a clean office helps decrease the possibility of catching the flu or common cold by up to 80%. To stop the spread of disease, consider hiring a commercial cleaning company. Daily professional cleaning helps keep your workforce healthy and stop the spread of illness.

Improved professional image

The impression your business makes on customers/clients is a critical factor in your company's success. Overflowing trash receptacles, stained carpets, and dusty desks result in a tawdry appearance, creating the image that your company performs subpar work. A  tidy, clean, fresh-smelling office creates confidence in your business. If you regularly have clients/customers in your office, consider hiring a competent commercial cleaning company. They’ll effectively remove dust and dirt, maintain your kitchen/coffee area, reduce clutter, and keep garbage bins clean, leaving clients/customers with a positive impression of your company. 

Saves money and time

A professional cleaning service uses their time in ways that are worthwhile for your business. They handle office cleaning duties, allowing you/your staff to spend time on what matters to your company. Mould is expensive to remove, dirt ruins office furniture and equipment, and carpets are costly to replace. An unclean office leads to unwell employees and sick leave. Regular cleaning by a professional commercial cleaning service saves you money and time.

Heightened morale

A clean office environment helps employees feel engaged, happy, more creative, and enthusiastic. It boosts morale. Happy employees speak highly of the company, leading to improved productivity, good reviews, and increased business. 

Better use of resources

It makes no sense to have employees spend their valuable time doing cleaning chores when a professional commercial cleaner can do the job, allowing your workers to focus on productivity.

Quality cleaning

An office requires more than just maintenance; wiping windows, mopping floors, cleaning toilets, and removing trash. A professional cleaning service completes deep cleaning and disinfecting, eliminating dirt, dust, allergens, and disease-causing viruses and bacteria.

Custom cleaning

Each office/workplace has unique cleaning requirements. A professional cleaning company doesn’t blindly complete a list of cleaning tasks. They tailor their process to your unique needs and budget. They may even provide eco-friendly equipment and non-toxic products to ensure a healthy, clean environment.

Wide range of services

One of the benefits of hiring professional office cleaning services is the broad range of cleaning services available. Janitorial services, day porter assistance, floor services, parking lot maintenance, carpet cleaning, and flood and/or construction clean-up are all possible. 

Freed-up storage space

If you’re using precious storage areas for cleaning equipment/products, consider hiring a commercial cleaning service. Commercial cleaners supply their products and equipment, freeing up storage space for purposes more useful for your business.

Expertise and Reliability

A commercial cleaning service has highly trained, skilled, and experienced staff. They assess your office, discover your needs, and then take appropriate measures to meet those needs.

Reduced stress

Working in a tidy, clean environment relieves stress, clears the mind and increases efficiency.

Increased equipment life

Dirt, dust, and clutter damage tools, machines, and electronics. Regular cleaning and organizing reduces the need for replacement parts and/or repairs, extending the life of your equipment.

Improved focus

A clean office allows employees to concentrate on tasks, free of the stress caused by debris, dirt, pathogens, and/or allergens. It allows employees to focus on expanding thoughts/ideas, enabling them to find solutions.

Safe environment

A clean work environment is less likely to cause illness, injury, and/or other dangers. Regular cleaning reduces injuries, accidents, trip hazards, and accidental cuts/nicks.

Reduced distractions

A clean workspace has fewer distractions to prevent workers from reaching peak performance levels.

Protection from litigation/liability

A clean office provides a defence against accusations that come from disgruntled customers/employees. Your company can easily prove they took all necessary measures to maintain an organized and clean environment.

Reduced chance of pests

When grime/food collects there is an increased incidence of mice, cockroaches, and/or spiders. By keeping your office clean through the services of a commercial cleaner, you can reduce and/or avoid this issue. 

There are many benefits to hiring professional office cleaning services. Commercial cleaners create a comfortable environment for staff/clients. They provide experienced staff, customized solutions, high-quality service, and a wide range of products/equipment. A clean, sanitized workplace eliminates stress and hassle, ensures good working conditions, boosts morale, and saves money. Commercial cleaners keep your business running. Consider hiring a commercial cleaning service for your office.
