The demand for commercial cleaning services has increased in recent years. In 2019, according to Franchise Help, commercial cleaning companies made up nearly 55% of businesses’ choices to clean their buildings and offices. There are many signs an office may need a commercial cleaning service.
Crumpled Papers and Wrappers
If crumpled papers, receipts, gum wrappers, and bits of snack items are on the floor or tables, this can be a massive turn-off to current and potential clients. The same goes if there are sticky rings on the desks from cups, multiple cups left on a desk, or crumbs and food stains are visible. These scenarios make the perfect breeding ground for germs and bacteria to grow. Sometimes mold latches on to dirty dishes. Mold naturally releases spores into the air that negatively affect those who breathe them in, even in tiny amounts.
The Air Doesn't Smell Right
Buildings that smell like stale air, dirty water, moldy carpets, or chemicals indicate that deep cleaning has been ignored for some time. The cause can be an accumulation of moisture that hasn’t adequately escaped the building, carpets that have lacked professional cleaning for more than a year, or there could be a problem with the overall HVAC system. In any case, if you walk in and the air feels humid, or the air isn’t fresh, you’ll want to do a deep clean in the office while having the building owners look for other problems with the mechanics.
You Can See Dust Accumulations
An accumulation of dust over vents and fan blades could create respiratory problems among employees. Fan blades on the ceiling often collect the majority of dust, mites, and grime. When the blades spin, it throws these accumulations into the air. You may notice your employees exhibiting more signs of respiratory illness. If you can’t see the tops of the fan blades without assistance, then look for dust accumulations on desks, monitors, and the items that sit on your employee’s desk.
Professional commercial cleaners can provide you with more comprehensive janitorial services than what your typical in-house cleaner would be able to offer. Finally, using a professional cleaning service will allow you to focus on other aspects of running your business. At the same time, someone else takes care of the mess, so there’s less stress managing personnel and space upkeep.
