The Power of a Tidy Workplace
"When your environment is cluttered, the chaos restricts your ability to focus. The clutter also limits you brain's ability to process information."

How does an untidy office affect you mentally?
Maintaining a messy office can negatively affect your employees at work, plus your focus and ability to process information can be dramatically reduced. By attempting to work and get things done in an environment that is messy and full of clutter is almost impossible. Mess will take your focus away from the more important jobs and instead concentrate it towards the overfilled dusty shelves or the dirty floors and desks. Working in an untidy environment can increase your levels of stress and anxiety. This is very serious and should be acknowledged in the workplace, as for a lot of people, it is where they spend most of their week.
Clean office equals productivity
It has been proven that working in hygienic and uncluttered environments can actually improve your productivity and morale! Research by Initial Hygiene UK found that, "57% of employees feel more motivated and have greater morale when their workplace is clean, and provisions are made for proper hygiene solutions". This clearly identifies that having a regularly cleaned office will help maintain high morale amongst your employees also helping to increase their productivity.
Working in an disorganised environment will distract you from your important jobs and divert your attention towards the mess and state of the office. So, if you’re needing to get that report in for Monday then perhaps getting the office cleaned would be a good start?
Having a clean and tidy office helps you clear your mind and increase productivity; therefore, a good decision would be to hire a commercial office company, as they are experts in solving your office's cleaning problems.
Improve your health and wellness
Sometimes just a wipe down of the desks and a quick hoover doesn't get rid of all the dirt and bacteria in the office. There are places in your office that hold a huge amount of dirt and bacteria but are hard to get to. The average keyboard, chair and computer mouse harbour around 21,000 germs per square inch; your average desk is home to 10 million bacteria.
Germs and bacteria can cause viruses and illness in the workplace, risking the health of your employees which can also affect the company if a number of your staff are off sick.
Using a commercial cleaning service can make sure you reduce the number of germs, bacteria, clutter and mess to help you create a happier, healthier environment for you and your employees. Have you considered a deep clean service?
Getting a commercial cleaning company can ultimately lead to a more proactive workforce, less bacteria and mess and an improvement in time management. If these two factors are important to you and your business, then please call us on
