Why Office Cleaning Boosts Your Productivity

Office Cleaning Is Not a Cost — It's an Investment

Many companies see office cleaning as a necessary evil: something that has to be done, but should cost as little as possible. However, research shows that a clean working environment directly contributes to the productivity, health and satisfaction of your employees.

A study by the University of Arizona showed that offices with a higher level of cleanliness are up to 12% more productive than dirty offices. Other studies show that employees in clean offices are 46% less likely to be absent due to illness.

The Benefits of Regular Office Cleaning

• •Lower absenteeism: a clean office reduces the spread of bacteria and viruses. Keyboards, door handles and lift buttons are particularly notorious breeding grounds.
• •Higher productivity: employees perform better in a clean, tidy environment. Clutter and dirt cause distractions.
• •Professional appearance: clients and partners visiting your office form their first impression within seconds. A clean office radiates professionalism.
• •Longer lifespan of office furniture: regular vacuuming, dusting and cleaning extends the life of carpets, desks and equipment.
• •Higher employee satisfaction: employees feel valued when their employer invests in a pleasant working environment.

What Type of Office Cleaning Do You Need?

Not every office has the same cleaning needs. Factors to consider include the number of employees, the floor area, the availability of sanitary facilities, and whether clients visit the premises.

For most offices, a combination of daily cleaning (emptying bins, restocking supplies, vacuuming floors) and periodic cleaning (carpet cleaning, deep cleaning the kitchen, window cleaning) is appropriate.
