Cleaning a commercial premises is very different to cleaning your home.
It’s a common misconception that cleaning a commercial premises is an unskilled job that can easily be done by anyone in the team with 10 minutes spare to whizz around with a mop.
But the cleanliness and hygiene of your premises is vital to the safety and presentation of any workspace, be it industrial or offices. Hiring a professional is a must for ensuring a thorough job, safeguarding the health and wellbeing of your staff and visitors, and maintaining the reputation of your business.
Here are the top benefits of employing a professional cleaner:
- It can reduce sickness absence
The pandemic has made us all more aware of how easily germs are transmitted. A spotless working environment can curb the spread not just of Covid-19 but other viruses and illnesses such as common colds, ‘flu and sickness bugs.
Hiring a professional who will thoroughly clean all areas, rather than just give it a superficial once over, will ensure your workspaces are not just clean but sanitised too. - It will be done properly
Professional cleaners are exactly that – professionals – so they take pride in, and have the time to do a thorough, proper job. They also know exactly the areas where germs thrive that need extra attention and will take the time to make them not only sparkling, but as germ-free as possible. - They’ll fit around your working hours
Nobody wants a rubber-gloved hand reaching over their shoulder to wipe under a coffee cup while on the phone at their desk.
A good cleaning company will arrange to visit your premises at your least busy times or outside of business hours. You can enjoy opening the doors in the morning to a shiny, fresh-smelling workplace! - You can specify frequency of jobs
As well as a daily clean, some areas benefit from a regular deep clean – kitchens and toilets, for example, or other high-traffic areas. A professional cleaner will advise on the frequency of each job and work with you to fit it into the cleaning schedule. - They can top up essentials
While working their way around your building, you can arrange for your cleaner to replenish everyday necessities such as loo rolls, hand soap and sanitiser and even kitchen products such as washing-up liquid and kitchen roll.
This not only saves you a job but ensures your workers have everything they need to help maintain personal hygiene and play their part in keeping the place clean. - Cleaners will use the correct products
A multi-purpose bacterial spray and a vacuum cleaner just won’t cut it in a busy workplace. Commercial cleaners will use strong, professional products and equipment for different surfaces such as desks, kitchen surfaces, toilets, carpets and floors. They’ll know how to use them safely avoiding any damage to health, or expensive machinery, fabrics or materials. You can expect your space to not only be visibly clean and dust-free but also sanitised – and there are many eco products used in commercial cleaning these days too. - It’s good for morale!
An investment in a cleaner is an investment in your staff. Being surrounded by a clean, fresh environment demonstrates to your team that you prioritise creating a healthy, pleasant space for them to work in.
