Not Sure If Professional Office Cleaning Is For You?

If you’re unsure if hiring a team of cleaning professionals is the right call for your business, here’s a quick list of advantages that you can gain if you choose professional office cleaning from a reputable and skilled business.

1. Minimise Employee Sickness
Did you know “the average office desk harbours 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat?” [ source ]. If left untidy and unclean, your workplace can be a haven for bacteria such as e-coli and Staphylococcus; according to a study by Dr Charles P Gerba from the University of Arizona, office desk phones were found to have “over 25,000 organisms per surface”.

In order to maintain high levels of productivity it’s essential that you ensure that workplace surfaces such as keyboards and desks are kept clean to reduce the spread of harmful viruses and bacteria; did you know viruses such as the flu can linger on unclean surfaces for 24 hours?

However, it isn’t just the risk of illness caused by bacteria and viruses that you need to be concerned about, other health conditions could cause employees to require days of work due to illness. For example, dust can be a significant danger to your business’ productivity and your employee’s wellbeing. The term dust refers to a wide range of pollutants in the air; this can include things such as dead animal skin cells, microscopic organisms, pollen, or even small pieces of rock. As these particles can be very small they can be easily breathed in by your employees. The larger dust particles are usually swallowed or breathed out which usually causes no harm. However, the smaller particles are much more dangerous, they can reach the lungs, penetrating deeply. More troublesome still are the ultrafine particles, which can be absorbed into blood, causing issues such as coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and respiratory conditions such as asthma.

2. Keep Costs Low
There are significant cost savings to be found when you choose to utilise the skills of professional office cleaners. Whilst it is true that all your employees could ‘chip in’ and help to maintain a clean workspace, every minute they spend cleaning their workspace is a minute they’re not doing the job you’re paying them to do.

Instead of your employees being distracted from their current tasks, benefit from the skills of a professional. Additionally, if you choose a business that utilises intelligent cleaning solutions such as The Cleaning Academy. Our team doesn’t ‘invent things to clean’; after all cleaning a carpet when it doesn’t need cleaning is just wasting time that could be spent elsewhere, which in turn is a waste of money. Through the use of audits, our professional cleaning teams identify potential issues and get to work using their skills and experience; you’ll never catch our team ‘cleaning for the sake of cleaning’.

3. Enjoy Your Clean Office Space
Simply put, office cleaning is essential to the smooth running of any office environment. However, whilst the above advantages are indeed significant, the simple pleasures of working in a regularly cleaned environment should not be overlooked. With the assistance of professional cleaners from The Cleaning Academy, you’ll be able to breathe deep, enjoying the fresh clean scents, not the stench of stale air mixed with months of dust and dirt.

As a client you can enjoy peace of mind. We provide a monthly meeting with your area manager and our managers will meet with your cleaning team at least twice a month, ensuring that our rigorously high standards are maintained throughout your contract. Additionally, in order to provide for peace of mind, we keep our cleaning contrasts simple and easy to understand with a 30 day rolling contract.
