Cleaning The Slate
You think to yourself: surely everyone at the office could pitch in, and that way, perhaps you could save a little money. Maybe all the children could dedicate a few minutes after school to making sure that the classrooms are all ship-shape like they do in Japan and Korea. If everyone cleans up after themselves and is sure to keep their own space tidy, there’s no real need for professional janitorial staff, right? WRONG. Whether you’re looking at hiring a cleaning and maintenance team for your home, school, or work environment, the answer should always be yes: leave it to professionals! A crew of professional janitors is well trained in every aspect of their job: what the most efficient way is to get the job done, how to use any tools of the trade that they might need and how to work together as a team. Take it from us: hiring janitorial services for buildings will give you the peace of mind that you need to get all your own work done every day. Let’s look at a few reasons why it’s best to hire the pros.
Health
Simply put: the cleaner any environment is, the less likely it is that any person or persons in that environment will get sick! If you want to ensure that your workforce or students are undertaking their daily tasks in a clean and healthy environment, then leave the cleaning to the professionals. Intensive sanitizing may not always be part of their services (it is best to do a little research to find out) basic sanitizing carried out with anti-germ sprays and spritzes is definitely part of the job. There’s always that one coworker who brings some unidentifiable food to the office and leaves it in the fridge until it forms its own ecosystem. Who wants to store their lunch in there? No one! Professional janitors will ensure that the refrigerator, microwave, appliances, and all handles are fresh and clean so that you can prepare your lunch or snack in a healthy, safe kitchen. Avoid your staff calling in sick by keeping their environment as sanitary as you possibly can.
Time and Productivity
In many office scenarios, as well as in many schools in some parts of the world, the employees and students are asked to participate in keeping their environment clean. To a degree, this is and should be a responsibility that everyone shares: washing their hands, flushing the toilet, not leaving litter behind them, wiping down a kitchen surface after they’ve used it, etc. But the idea of students being asked to take part in further cleaning or maintenance will impact their productivity and the overall productivity and time-consciousness of the environment. Homework could be done a half-hour earlier if a full classroom cleaning wasn’t on the students’ shoulders, office jobs and reports could be completed in a more timely manner if the staff wasn’t worried about cleaning out the inside of the microwave. In a workplace, employees are there to do the jobs that they’re hired for: nothing more. Leave the heavy lifting to the pros, and everything will run more smoothly.
Make A Good First Impression
A fresh, clean scented office, well-stocked bathrooms organized, and a calm atmosphere will make a great first impression on anyone who walks into your space. A much better impression, say, that staff scrambling around under their desks, magazines scattered all over the coffee table, and a trail of ants leading to the sugar bowl! Who would take any company seriously when their windows are filthy, there’s a tree branch almost coming in the window and the paving trips you up? Hiring a professional janitorial team leaves nothing to chance. That bathroom door that keeps striking and trapping people inside? They’ll fix it. The lingering smell of fish in the break room? Gone. The vents that spit dust out every time someone turns the air conditioning on? Dustless. Cleaning and maintenance are their only job, and they do it well! Never again will another guest be stranded in the bathroom without toilet paper, never again will the boss step in something squelchy on his way to your desk, never again will you be late for a date because you were wiping down every object on your desk with sanitizing wipes.
Job Creation
When you hire a service to do a job they’re trained to do, you create new jobs. New jobs in your local area mean that more people are able to support themselves and their families. It means a contribution to the local economy, which keeps the circle going round and round. You do your job and let the professional janitors do theirs, and everybody wins.
Final Word
Outsourcing the cleaning and maintenance of your work or school environment to a team of professionals is really the best way to go, as you can no doubt see from our list. Hand these daily tasks over to the people who do them best, and you’ll be able to focus on what you do best!
