Running a small business, you may wonder whether investing your money in a commercial office cleaning service will be beneficial?

We appreciate that businesses need to invest their money wisely and spend only on necessities that will help to improve and grow their business.

Here we detail just 4 reasons why your small business needs a professional commercial cleaning services company.

1.First impressions matter

Using a commercial cleaning company can ensure that you give the best first impression to any potential clients who are visiting your offices.

First impressions are crucial in business, having a clean and tidy workspace creates the first foundations of how people view you and your business. If a prospect walked into a messy office, they may feel there is no structure or organisational skills in the business and therefore decide not to work with you.

Hiring a commercial cleaner means you will always be working in a spotlessly clean environment, making those memorable first impressions.

2.Your team is more productive

When your cleaning staff come in, they will be largely unnoticed, even coming before or after work hours, so they are not disrupting the workplace.

Using a commercial cleaner means you and your employees will not be wasting valuable time by trying to keep the office tidy. Employees will be able to focus on their own tasks that help move the business forward!

An international survey of 10,000 workers by Ipsos MORI found that 85% of employees are unhappy with their office environment and struggle to concentrate.

Additionally, a clean and organised office will help your staff to feel more relaxed and comfortable in their working environment, making them more productive so more work will be completed.

3.Commercial cleaning service versus do-it-yourself

We would always suggest using a commercial cleaning company and not your office employees! This is due to the technical cleaning knowledge they possess, which the majority of your employees will not.

These are professionals after all, and know exactly how to find any areas you may miss, and what chemicals to use and where. They will also know when to top-up cleaning supplies.

Commercial cleaners can maintain the cleanliness of your work areas and ensure it is a positive environment to work in.

4. Happy workers equals a successful business

Keeping employees happy should always be a top priority. Hiring a professional cleaner can help you get one step closer to achieving this. We are sure your employees will be relieved that they no longer need to think about cleaning on top of all their other jobs.

Decluttering the environment they are working in, helps to make workers more productive, so they can achieve more.

Clean offices can also have a significant impact on the mental health and employees.

Getting a commercial cleaning company can ultimately lead to a more productive workforce and an improvement in time management. If these two factors are important to you and your business, then call us on 01423 566785 or request a free no obligation survey and quotation via our website.
