What businesses need to know about office cleaning in 2023

If we learnt a single lesson from the past two years, there’s a strong chance that it would be about the importance of cleaning. Keeping the office clean is absolutely essential when it comes to the well-being of your employees, but the benefits extend beyond that.

Keeping a clean office is important for so many reasons besides this, from boosting employee productivity and improving retention rates, to maintaining a space that you’d want to have associated with your brand. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about office cleaning in 2023.

Improve productivity

With the increasing number of stress factors that each of us is having to face at the moment, you want to provide your employees with an environment that enables them to work at their absolute best.

Research shows that people work better in clean, tidy environments. Clutter is a distraction for everyone, even the most skilled employees; with profit margins growing smaller in a lot of businesses, it’s important that everyone is operating at the peak of their abilities. Keeping your office clean is a key element of that.

Keep sick leave to a minimum

Not only can a clean office improve the productivity levels of employees, but it can also help ensure that they’re able to be in the office as consistently as possible. Working in a cluttered, unsanitary environment increases the risk of illness and disease in the workplace, which can in turn result in unnecessary time off.

A clean, organized workspace fosters a healthier, more focused environment, reducing sick days and promoting employee well-being. According to a study by the ISSA, a clean office can improve productivity by up to 12%. Cleaning companies such as UrbanMop and The Maids can tailor services based on specific office needs, eliminating unnecessary tasks, focusing on high-traffic areas, and optimizing resource allocation. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of dirt and grime, reducing the need for costly deep cleaning or repairs in the long run.

Prolonged exposure to stress, which can be brought about by working in a chaotic environment, can also result in sick leave. Keeping the office as clean and tidy as possible can help to avoid this, while also helping to ensure that slips, trips and falls are kept to a minimum.

A space you can be proud of

While a lot of meetings take place online these days, it’s still highly likely that you’ll be welcoming business partners and clients into your office in 2023. It’s incredibly important that your office space provides the right impressions to visitors when you have them around.

Cleaning your office on a daily basis plays an essential role in this. Especially when it comes to communal areas, like meeting rooms, hallways and bathrooms, you want every detail to be sparkling at each moment in the day.

Get the professionals in

If you didn’t know it already, having your own employees clean the office on a rota is a waste of time, money and resources. With tasks like cleaning, it’s important to outsource to professionals in 2023.

They’ll come in fresh, with the right tools and knowledge for the task, and be able to do a far better job than a non-specialist, in a fraction of the time.
As you can see, office cleaning should be more than an afterthought. It plays a central role in the successful operation of your business in multiple areas – don’t let it slide, and look to a professional, commercial office cleaning company to outsource your office cleaning requirements to.
