The Benefits of Keeping Your Office Clean: What You Need To Know

Keeping your office clean and tidy has many benefits. First impressions are important, and a clean office is essential for making a good one. In the eyes of customers, clients, and visitors, a clean, clutter-free office demonstrates that your organization cares about details, understands its responsibilities, and is on top of things.  Other benefits include increased employee productivity and focus, reduced illnesses and fewer sick days, and enhanced workplace safety. Maintaining your office should include keeping furniture, shelving, desks, floors, trash bins, windows, and other areas free from dust, dirt, debris, and contaminants. 

Let’s dive a little deeper into the benefits of keeping your office clean; what you need to know:

1). A Good First Impression

The image you project to customers is an essential factor in the success of your operation. A cluttered, messy office appearance can create the impression that your business is disorganized and chaotic. On the other hand, a clean, well-organized office conveys professionalism and efficiency.   

2). Increased Employee Well-being, Productivity, and Focus

Prioritizing a clean workplace can help minimize employee stress and distractions and maximize well-being and productivity. Employee wellbeing has become a hot topic in recent years, and it’s more important than ever for managers and directors to ensure the happiness of those working for them. Cluttered and dirty environments can lead to stress and a lack of focus. A recent study also suggests conscientious people commit more errors in an unclean environment than in a tidy one. As a result, their work quality and speed suffer. 

3). Reduced Illnesses and Fewer Sick Days  

A dirty office can cause employee illnesses and lost work days. According to a recent publication in the National Library of Medicine, bacterial infections, like strep throat and Salmonella, can be spread by touching surfaces 1 to 24 hours after an infected person touches them. Viral illnesses, including the common cold, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, can easily live for seven days outside the human body. Norovirus – the stomach flu bug – has been found to survive for weeks on public surfaces. All shared areas, including bathrooms, breakrooms, conference rooms, etc., must receive regular cleanings to ensure a healthier workplace. When employees are sick, they will miss work, directly affecting productivity and your bottom line.  

4). A Safer Workplace

As it turns out, there are a lot of serious health risks you can encounter just from going to work—even if you work in an office, never mind an industrial facility with heavy machinery in use. Many of those risks can be mitigated by keeping your workplace clean and orderly. Poorly maintained work environments are more likely to cause trip and fall accidents. Old, worn carpet, for example, is a tripping hazard that puts people at risk. Flooring should be regularly inspected and maintained, and clutter should be kept to a minimum. You don’t want obstacles like boxes and debris in busy corridors or blocking exits in an emergency. With regular cleaning and maintenance, many safety hazards can be avoided. 

Why You Should Hire a Professional Office Cleaning Service 

Like all workspaces, offices can accumulate a lot of dirt and dust. That being said, it’s often not feasible to expect your employees to stay on top of the cleanliness of common spaces such as boardrooms, break rooms, reception areas, kitchens, and bathrooms, in addition to their usual work. Most businesses can benefit from outsourcing their office cleaning needs to a professional cleaning company. They will have the right supplies, equipment, and resources to keep your office or building clean, hygienic, and well-maintained.
