How Regular Commercial Cleaning Improves Productivity

By: bchauveau Sunday March 15, 2020 comments

You probably already know that regular commercial cleaning of your office carpets is important to maintaining a professional image. Customers will judge your business based on how clean it is (or appears to be).

But, did you also know that regular cleaning can also help your employees be more productive? Let’s take a look at how this works.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), each employee costs their company $1,685 per year in productivity. This comes from chronic absenteeism brought on by illness. When an employee calls out sick, they must either be replaced with a temp who has to be shown how to do the job, or their work has to be put on hold until the person returns.

All of this adds up to over $220 billion a year in lost productivity. But this can partially be alleviated with regular professional carpet cleaning.

Your workplace is a breeding ground for germs. You would naturally wipe down the surfaces of your desk and computer to help prevent the spread of these germs.

But the carpet can also trap and spread germs as well. By doing a deep cleaning, you are removing these germs and disinfecting the area, ultimately helping your employees stay healthy.

Another area that contributes to employee absenteeism is allergies. Every season, the pollen and dust levels shift, and many people are left feeling miserable and run down.

Even if an employee doesn’t call out sick, they are still working at a reduced level because of their sinus problems and allergies. A regular carpet cleaning removes dirt, dust, and other allergens that can aggravate these sinus problems.

Ultimately, healthy employees are happy and productive employees. If you set up a quarterly professional cleaning schedule for your office or store, then you are ensuring that you are doing your best to help your employees stay healthy. This can help save you money in the long run.
