In this blog, we discuss why hiring a professional office cleaner is vital and some of the benefits!
1. A happy and productive workforce with a professional office cleaner
A clean and organised office environment gives employees the freedom to concentrate on their work. Mess, clutter, and dirt can be very annoying and a distraction.
The pandemic has made UK workers more mindful about their health and, by extension, the cleanliness of office spaces.
Regular cleaning was considered more important than both the number of people they share their office with and improved air quality.
Employees are worried about the cleanliness of offices
Working in an office where cleanliness and organisation are lacking can be quite irritating.
Additionally, there’s a risk of important documents being misplaced or accidentally discarded.
From a practical standpoint, this is undeniably true: the time spent searching for lost paperwork on a disorganised desk results in a loss of valuable work minutes.
The Case for Finally Cleaning Your Desk
Hiring professional cleaners will ensure that your office runs like a well-oiled machine.
The cleaner your office is, the more likely your employees will take pride in their own space.
2. Save money with a professional office cleaner
Office cleaning if left to your staff can take up a lot of time.
This time should be used more productively utilising your staff in the roles they were employed for.
Having a professional office cleaning company gives you and your staff peace of mind that they can concentrate on their tasks, not be burdened with having to ensure the office is clean and therefore not causing undue stress.
It is also worth considering just how many separate items within the office should be cleaned on a regular, weekly basis, as a quick, certainly not thorough checklist:
- Work surfaces like desks, platforms, and workstations
- Handles on doors, windows, rails, water dispensers
- Common areas like toilets, reception, changing rooms, corridors, and lifts
- Vehicle handles and steering wheels
- Control panels for machinery, control pads, and switches
- Computer keyboards, printers, touch screens, monitors, and phones
- Taps, kettles, water heaters, fridges, microwaves, and cupboards
Taking time to consider the impact on your staff and employing a professional cleaning company ensures they can work on the job you hired them for originally!
3. A safe, COVID-aware environment with a professional office cleaner
Lack of professional office cleaning can lead to the accumulation of germs and bacteria.
In a very short space of time, it is very easy for bacteria to spread throughout the office.
Given the ongoing awareness of COVID-19, there may be a need to elevate the frequency and thoroughness of your regular workplace cleaning, including the sanitation of typically overlooked surfaces.
When cleaning in response to a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 in your workplace, it’s essential to adhere to the guidelines provided by GOV.UK.
To determine the appropriate cleaning regimen for your business, it’s crucial to consider your specific risk assessment.
Your risk assessment will help you to identify what your cleaning regime will look like, but you should consider these examples:
- keep surfaces clear so that cleaning can be carried out more effectively
- clean areas regularly in line with your cleaning regime
- set clear guidance for the use and cleaning of toilets, showers, and changing facilities to make sure they are kept clean
- clean work areas and equipment between uses
- frequently clean and disinfect objects and surfaces that are touched regularly
- if equipment like tools or vehicles are shared, then clean them after each use
The number of bacteria and germs found in an office environment can make it very easy for illnesses to spread, and this will result in an escalation of sick days.
Our team is professionally trained in sanitation practices to ensure your office is hygienic, healthy, and germ-free.
