Imagine walking into a business that appears dirty and unkempt. What if that business belonged to you? Proper cleaning and sanitation isn't just for your home, it's equally important for any commercial property. Here are five reasons why a commercial cleaning service is the right choice for your company.
 

1. Healthy Environment

A healthy environment goes beyond having healthy lunch options and a water cooler. Health starts with cleanliness as well. So, even if you and other people at your company eat healthy and exercise every day, being in a filthy environment can impede that. If you're sitting in an environment where you're breathing in poorly filtered air, touching contaminated surfaces, or dealing with insect/vermin infestations, illness can easily occur. When you hire a commercial cleaning service, they know how to clean the air vents, dust everything, and use the right sanitizers that kill viruses that cause flu or COVID-19. If you have carpeting, they also vacuum and deep clean your carpets to get rid of any deep-down dust mites and allergens.

2. Fewer Sick Days

If you have an environment filled with nasty bacteria and germs and not properly sanitized for contaminants such as COVID-19, don't be surprised when employees start calling in sick. While employees are eligible for a certain amount of sick days, if people end up using too many of them, it can affect their work productivity. Additionally, if you're in an industry where you must rely on teams, having even just one person out for too long can affect how well you get everything done. It can also create undue pressure on people who aren't calling out sick, as they may have to pick up the slack for people who aren't there.

3. Improved First Impressions

As the old saying goes, you only have one chance to make a great first impression. So, imagine what would happen if you have meetings with clients and they walk into a building or office that’s dirty, dusty, smells nasty, has stained carpets, etc. Needless to say, it wouldn't leave a very good impression on them. If it’s a client you want to work with, you may end up losing a deal before it gets started if they see that you don't care about how well you represent yourself. What about trying to recruit the best employees? Imagine how one would feel if they walked in for an interview and saw the same thing, but they interviewed somewhere else with a much cleaner, healthier environment for them to work in.

4. Time Efficiency

One of the great things about hiring a commercial cleaning service is it saves you and others the time and expense of doing your own cleaning. According to Globe Newswire, the global market for commercial cleaning services, which includes office cleaning, was valued at approximately $100 billion in 2020 and may achieve a value of around $145 billion by 2026. One of the reasons this industry is so lucrative is due to the time it saves people. When you have a busy work day with back-to-back meetings, you may not have time to clean your office. Being able to return to a clean and sanitized space daily makes it easier to just get to work and stay focused.

5. Good Morale

The last thing you want is low employee morale. If your employees are in an environment that's dirty and unkempt, where they're constantly getting sick, it can make them feel like they're working for someone who doesn't care about them. When employees feel that an employer doesn't care about them, it can affect not only their production level but the way they feel about the company. Before you know it, an otherwise productive employee may decide to take their services somewhere else, especially if their health is at stake.

Your business not only says a lot about your brand but also about how you care about your employees.
