There is visible dirt and dust piling up
Any grime or clutter you can see will also be seen by customers and employees. It is not just unpleasant to look at, it suggests that the dirt and dust has built up over a long period of time, too, and should have been removed a while ago.
Professional cleaners will have the specialist tools and cleaning agents to cut through the build up and prevent germs accumulating in the future.
Your employees are getting ill regularly
Bacteria, dust, and allergens must be removed from the workplace frequently or they can cause employees and visitors to suffer from health problems. This in turn can result in more sick days and lower productivity.
Unclean offices can lead to lower morale, as well, which can have its own impact on employee efficiency.
You have customers regularly visiting the office
A clean, fresh-smelling, clutter-free workplace reflects positively on your business. If lots of customers visit, they will also trudge in dirt and debris, and may contribute to the messiness of a space.
Your staff are trying to clean the workplace themselves
While in some workspaces this is encouraged, particularly in ones where clutter and dirt builds up quickly, such as in warehouses, specialist cleaning must be left to trained professionals.
Warehouse cleaning, for example, requires high level cleaning which can be very dangerous without training in how to work at height safely.
Cleaning your own office can deal a blow to employee morale, too, and takes time away from their other tasks, directly impacting productivity.
There are unpleasant odours in your office
Nasty smells can indicate a build up of bacteria and even mould. They can be very off-putting for employees and visitors alike. They are especially a problem if you have gotten used to the odours and are not aware of how serious they have become.
ICE Cleaning offers a number of professional cleaning services for businesses including office cleaning and warehouse cleaning. Its technicians can quickly restore your site to a safe, hygienic environment.
