Having your office professionally cleaned, is something that most office owners take for granted to just “keep things clean”. Office cleaning is important because it helps you win more business. It might sound rather obvious and simple, but until we really understand why this is the case; we can hire the cleaning contractors of the world and won’t be able to justify the investment. Firstly, anything that adds to your business is an investment and not an expense. It is amazing at the amount of people who would cut back cleaners because a budget got a little tight and wonder why business wasn’t flowing through anymore. See, this is the thing about people, they will notice everything you do. If a place is not clean, you are judged by that when people come in and you will end up losing an incredible amount of clients and referrals, just for your place not being in the order it is meant to be in.
In the beginning, it is super tempting to be able to do all your cleaning yourself. Whilst, that might be a good idea if it is a small place with a small number of staff, there comes a point where you cannot ask your staff who are professionals to do the cleaning, especially If they are working late on tight schedules when it comes down to professionals such as lawyers, writers etc. So what’s to be done? The best thing is to be able to hire a cleaning agency to take care of all this for you, so that you don’t have to worry about your staff and potential clients walking into your place and wondering why you don’t keep your place clean.
Your staff will feel lazy and disorganised if you don’t have your place clean as well as yourself and that will reflect in your work. Hiring a cleaning company means that you get to retain your professionalism of having all the places that even you or your staff wouldn’t be able to reach. It shows proof of being serious about what you want your place to look like as well as the impression that you want to be giving your clients when they come in. The old saying “first impressions count” never heralds more true because say a potential client came in and wanted to offer you business, however saw your place looking like a mess, they may smile and be polite to your face but always file it under “well, they cannot even keep their place clean, what would my work turn out like”. One of the best and most prime examples is beauty salons, where the wax pots are kept.
A lot of salons go to absolute great lengths to keep them shining and clean all the time, as well as quickly clean up the floor because they know that when waxing clients come in, if they do not see the place clean, they will never come back again. As we all know, waxing is very messy and if the staff do not go to great lengths to clean up after themselves, you will have a room that is filthy and business will drop immediately.
