Are clean offices more profitable?

I’m not sure if there are any statistics to prove it, but we can come up with five logical reasons why it must be true. C’s Home and Office Management can take care of everything on this list. But even still, if you work in an office or commercial building, you have to do your share.

Don’t get a Virus

Yes we are referring to technology; but no, not the virus that spreads through emails and websites. Technology is very hands on, which particularly in the winter means covered with germs. Use cleaning wipes on your mouse, keyboard, phone, printer and any other tools you use. Take special care with items you share with other people.

If you work with the IT team, you probably spend time in closed-in areas such as equipment storage areas and the server room. Keep your hands and the equipment you work on clean to avoid spreading germs or picking up something from your coworkers.

The profit gain is obvious: healthy employees don’t call in sick.

Smart Product Choices

If you work in a retail company or for manufacturer, you understand the importance of your product. It has to be better than the competition. It has to make the people using it feel good. That’s why we use green cleaning products. In enclosed winter office and commercial space, the smell of harsh chemicals are not only unpleasant, but they can actually make people feel sick. Make smart product choices that are good for the planet and great for the people who work for you.

Using green products and choosing a green business cleaning partners can benefit your business in quite a few ways. Your employees will feel better at work and they’ll feel better about the company they work for. Overall green is great for your reputation.

Close the deal

Retailers hope to have a steady stream of customers in their store. Professionals, clients and prospects visit your offices for your services. Regardless of what you sell, think about the impression you make when a prospective sale walks through your door. Your retail environment should be clean from top to bottom: displays, check out and service areas, and floors. Think about how a prospect feels as they walk through your office door. Is your reception area clean? Are your chairs lint free and conference room furniture spotless?

A clean work environment shows you care about what you sell and you care about your customer’s experience. Isn’t this the type of company you like to do business with?

Kitchen Detail

It’s very simple: throw it away. I’ve never seen a workplace that has been able to resolve the problem of the funky fridge. It’s unhealthy and unsightly. If you and your coworkers can come up with a solution, that’s great. Otherwise ask your cleaning company to clear out any leftovers.

Aside from the refrigerator, it’s important to keep the kitchen clean to minimize germs and minimize odors, both are bad for employee morale and visitor impressions.

From Kids to Tweens – Keep it Clean

We’ve already covered the importance of cleanliness in a retail environment. There are many other workplaces that cater to children and families where a clean, germ-free setting is critical. A few that come to mind are schools and daycare centers, fast-food restaurants, and doctor offices. Whenever children are involved, there’s a higher risk of spreading germs. Make sure your cleaning service sanitizes every area that children visit, and be sure to wipe down a few times during the day.

There’s nothing like an appreciative parent to spread rave reviews about your business.
