The Financial Benefits of Investing in Regular Commercial Cleaning Services

Office cleaning and janitorial services aren’t a luxury; they are vital components of facility management and office operations. Not all the benefits of cleanliness are subjective. Many have a measurable impact on efficiency, output and the performance of equipment and infrastructure.



Enhancing Employee Productivity and Job Satisfaction While Reducing Healthcare Costs and Sick Days 

The benefits to employee productivity and healthcare costs can be difficult to quantify, but it doesn’t take an leap of logic to acknowledge these benefits do exist. Commercial cleaning on its own can help ensure high-touch-point surfaces and the indoor air in an office or facility are less likely to transmit illness-causing bacteria and viruses.

It is not easy to calculate the value of preventive action without being able to quantify the harm avoided by ensuring the negative event didn’t occur. This inability to prove a negative or assign a monetary value to cleaning as a preventive measure may lead to an underestimation of its importance.

Most business owners, facility managers and executives can appreciate the loss of productivity that accompanies sick days, especially when a virus is transmitted through a workplace. High-quality commercial cleaning can reduce the frequency of these situations and minimize downtime. This can also translate to a reduction in healthcare costs and act as a hedge against increasing premiums.  

Although the cleanliness of a workspace may not be the most important variable influencing job satisfaction, it undoubtedly does play a role. Workers who feel comfortable and don’t dread spending time in an office or place of business are more likely to be productive and want to stick around. Keeping a workspace clean may help with worker retention. 

Improve Client Retention

This same rationale can be applied to customers and clients. The presentation and appearance of your offices or facility will influence the perception of clients or customers who visit your business premises. While the cleanliness of your offices might not be the most important consideration for clients, you can rest assured that the condition of your facilities will affect their opinion of your business.

Avoid Pest Infestations and Higher Pest Control Costs

Many businesses in Midland and Odessa do require pest control services of some kind, but the cost of combating new or existing infestations is far higher than the cost of preventive services. Commercial cleaning and janitorial services can be an important component of a pest prevention plan. Ensuring your workplace isn’t a source of food or an ideal breeding ground for pests makes infestations less likely.

Prolonging the Lifespan of Equipment

From office furniture and computer peripherals to coffee makers and bathroom fixtures, there are dozens of items in every office environment that can be preserved through regular cleaning and maintenance. The reduced repair or replacement costs of these everyday items can add up over time.

In industrial facilities, the value of longevity-enhancing cleaning can be even more vital. While cleaning isn’t the only variable that influences how long property lasts, it often does play a key role in extending the lifespan of business equipment.

Reducing Liability Risk and Workers’ Comp Claims

Slip and falls, illnesses caused by unsafe environments or injuries caused by preventable hazards are risks for every business. Many workplace injuries and illnesses can be avoided with dependable janitorial services.

Conversely, low-quality cleaning or janitorial services can increase the risk of falls due to hazards like wet floors or extension cords left in walkways, as well as illnesses caused by dangerous cleaning chemicals.

Your choice of office cleaner or commercial cleaning service provider may impact the overall safety of your workplace. Be sure you’re thoroughly vetting your providers and do not hesitate to report cleaning failures or problems when they do occur.
