The Importance of Cleaning Your Office Kitchen

David Whan • 21 February 2019

We agree with Miele!

As part of its new ProfiLine Dishwasher launch, Miele commissioned an independent survey with Sapio Research. The survey of 500 office workers found that organisations could face difficulties retaining and recruiting new talent, if they can’t provide high quality, well maintained and clean kitchen facilities.

The research revealed that dirty office kitchens are causing workplace rifts and disrupting performance, with 9 out of 10 workers surveyed wanting improved facilities.

Unwashed dishes, grimy work surfaces, dirty unhygienic appliances and overflowing bins are leaving many UK office staff feeling disgusted with their colleagues. 76% would hang a sign in the kitchen while 41% would ‘out’ a colleague in front of other employees and 55% would report a culprit to management.

At It’s Clean, we understand that a freshly cleaned office kitchen creates a healthy working environment and is a positive way for your staff to start their day.
