The Benefits Of Keeping Your Office Clean and Organised

A thoroughly cleaned office offers a range of psychological benefits — for both your employees and your clients. Here’s just some of the ways a professional office clean can help your business.

LESS SICK DAYS

There’s never been a more important time to ensure your office is hygienic. A sanitary office space provides less chance for viruses to spread, which allows your staff to stay healthy and stay at work. Our Rutherford Office Cleaning Services cater for offices of all sizes, with the option for office cleaning services daily, every other day, weekly or at your discretion. Our clean team operate around the clock, with after hour cleaning available so you can arrive at work each day and be greeted with a clean and sanitary workspace.

In addition to our office cleaning services, we can also provide a COVID cleaning service. Cleaning the high touch points in your office with hospital strength disinfectant is an effective tool in limiting the potential for community transmission. Focus areas for COVID cleaning include light switches, door handles, keyboards, printers and other areas that are frequently touched during a working day.

WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE

Have you ever walked into an office and noticed things weren’t quite up to scratch? Whether there’s marks on the wall or overflowing bins, it’s hard to feel comfortable in an unclean office.

Our cleaners will tailor a cleaning routine to suit the needs of your business. Quite often, this will include cleaning bathrooms and toilets, emptying bins, wiping down desks, polishing tiles, vacuuming floors and removing stains, odours and discolourations from carpets and upholstery.

Our office cleaning services also extend to interior and exterior window surfaces, glass-walled offices and glass partitions. Dirty glass can be very noticeable and off-putting for clients, but it does require regular maintenance. We offer manual cleaning services as well as a high wash system for buildings up to 5-storeys high.

BETTER STAFF MORALE

Did you know that working in a clean office can positively impact team morale? Taking pride in your workspace offers a range of psychological benefits for workers [1] including:

less stress

better sleep

increased productivity

less distraction

ability to make healthier lifestyle choices

less fatigue

CLEAN + ORGANISED

Overflowing bins, messy desks, unkept bathrooms and dirty floors; if your business isn’t on top of it’s cleaning duties, it might be time to seek some professional help.

A clean business is often a more organised one, with less visible clutter resulting in a more efficient working environment. To clean desks, computers, printers and technology requires the spaces to be decluttered, which means there’s more workable space and less likelihood for distraction.

Staff working in a disorganised environment can suffer from unrecognised stress [2]; struggling with feelings of being overwhelmed by the cluttered and chaotic workspace. Organising desks and workspaces, as well as keeping them clean, are the fundamental steps in turning a stressful environment into a productive one.

And don’t forget those low traffic zones that may be off the cleaning radar: storage rooms, server rooms and even outside communal zones need to reflect the ethos of the company, which should be professional, organised and in control. A good first impression is always important, and feeling comfortable and calm in an organised, clean environment is a good way to instill confidence in your team and your clients.

INSTANT FACELIFT

Ideally, you want your office to be a place that encourages productivity and positivity: a place where your workers want to work, and your clients want to visit.

You don’t need a top interior designer or an enviable office location to enjoy a functional and welcoming office environment. Creating a clean, organised and welcoming atmosphere is possible within almost any space — with a little elbow grease, that is.
