Benefits of cleaning services
As they say, cleanliness if close to godliness, and there’s not much to wonder why – keeping a clean environment with cleaning services can help with getting things done and making you feel better where you work. You become more productive when your space is clean, and you generally enjoy your environment a lot more. This goes ten-fold for when it is a work space or office. But how does one go about keeping a clean office for their personal and professional benefit?
The Benefits of a Clean Space
Let’s talk benefits. A clean work space is nothing to snark at. Sure, some people will say that in their line of work, keeping things a little organized chaos is beneficial to them: artists, writers, designers, and most creative folks. That doesn’t mean that they can’t benefit from tidying up a bit. So, how can a clean work space be beneficial?
1) Maintains your image
An untidy place just leaves a bad impression with most people! Most Americans spend 90% of their day indoors, and so we are prone to judge our spaces and the space of others. In fact, in a study done of 500 HR managers, the following results were found:
- 83% said that a cluttered desk equaled a cluttered mind
- 18% said that neatness reflects a person’s professionalism greatly
- 65% said that neatness reflects a person’s professionalism somewhat
- 17% said their views were not affected at all
2) Saves you time.
Papers, papers, everywhere; but they’re not what you think? This is a common problem in a messy environment. Why should you have to go searching for the things you need when you can have them exactly where you know they are – right at your fingertips? Don’t shave a few work hours off of your day by searching for things.
3) Keeps things safe
Scattered electric cords, papers on the floor that can be slipped on, or a grimy spot on the hardwood that makes a slippery surface are all accidents waiting to happen. Decrease the likelihood of a work accident by keeping your place tidy.
Not only that, but a messy area can promote allergies and diseases. Dust is a major source of allergies, as is mold. Unclean work environments can cause allergic reactions or the spread of illness, which will end up costing more time and money.
4) Improved Morale
Your environment has a major effect on your productivity, as well as those around you. If your space is nice, chances are more likely that your coworkers are happier, as well. After all, you don’t want to have the work space with the “old food smell” lingering in the air.
5) More Social Interaction
Many people are embarrassed by their mess to the point that they won’t have anyone to their work area because of it. Clean can be equal to more social engagement.
Solutions for Every Situation
The amount of cleaning you need done around you work space is dependent on the type of job you have. Take a moment to look around at your work space, and what needs to be cleaned: There is the lobby, the foyer, the reception area, the office or desks, and lunch room. Depending on the amount of staff, how time consuming their job is, and the willingness of employees, you can decide on what you need for your business.
Office cleaning is necessary and takes a lot of time. Small businesses sometimes have a choice between hiring someone to clean for them or opting for a communal cleaning effort from the staff. Large companies will naturally gravitate towards janitorial cleaning services, but small businesses have a choice. Consider what it takes to keep a clean office when making a decision on what would be best for the company.
Start By De Cluttering
- Try walking in someone else’s shoes – that is, be the visitor to your work space. Sit in their chair. Visit their bathroom. Give yourself a first time tour to get an idea of what is the most important to clean first to leave the best impression.
- There’s no point in organizing if your system doesn’t suit you – organize in a way that works for you.
- When putting papers away, follow a “file, recycle, toss, or pass it” ideology. Don’t hold onto papers for longer than two views before doing one of these. And if you file it, be sure to actually file it, vertically, with labels and everything. Piles just create more mess in both aesthetics and looking through them.
- When working on a project, only keep what is necessary for that project on your desk. Any more, and you’ll create unnecessary clutter that will just need to be filed later.
- Go paperless whenever possible.
- Choose a set point during the day, say just before you go to lunch or before you leave, to clean in order to maintain your order.
Creating an Office Cleaning Routine
1) Divide everything into tasks that people in your office can follow, and switch it around. Keep in mind how much work this will involve for your employees and yourself, and if it is worth it to take that time away from work, or to simply hire a janitorial service.
2) Set a proper example by showing how clean your area or assigned work areas can be.
3) No one wants to “be that guy”, but posting reminders around the office can help to maintain cleanliness.
4) Getting mats are rugs for the entry way and foyer, or other well traveled area may cut down on the amount of dust and debris that flies around as people walk by. Sure, you’ll have a carpet to clean instead of a hard floor, but it will decrease dust bunnies flying around.
5) Make cleaning supplies accessible by having them near the areas that need cleaning – say dish soap and sponge at the lunch room, or toilet brushes in the bathroom.
Maintaining
Maintaining ought to be simple. It’s amazing what can be done with once a week deep cleanings or end of the day mini-cleans. Staying on top of your clutter and mess will keep the need for major cleaning times down significantly.
Whether you choose to go with a commercial cleaning services, have everyone pitch in, or do it yourself, tidiness is a lot of work! Don’t take on more than you can handle, and know when you are wearing yourself out and may need extra help. As long as you have a healthy environment for yourself and your co workers, that should be what matters most![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1538400352861{background: #047abc url(https://biz.sites123.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/footer_bg_image1.png?id=68) !important;}” el_class=”custom-footer”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-phone” color=”custom” custom_color=”#63de04″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][vc_column_text]
