Why is it So Vital to Keep your Office Clean,? The cleanliness of an office has a ripple effect on all who enter it. It can mean a great first impression from visitors, or a lasting nightmare. It could be the difference between making a sale or losing one. It could foster productive employees, or negatively affect their focus and health as well as your own.

It’s already well known that a cluttered and dirty office contributes to the stress of employees. Uncleanliness implies un-organized, which can instill itself in the mood of your workers and the thoughts of your guests. Let’s not mince words: ‘clean’ does not just mean visually clean. An odorless office can be just as effective at maintaining productivity as a visually clean office.

What many employers forget is that it is not just morale that is impacted by office cleanliness. There is a significant effect on health that is often disregarded.

When cleaning and disinfecting is not thought of as a priority, one of the most common and most hazardous of bio-contaminants that can occur from this negligence is mould. Once a build-up of mould grows in an area with a lot of moisture or humidity, it can begin to have adverse effects on employee health. A dirty office does not just sway morale and outward impressions — it can prove to be dangerous if not taken seriously.

Studies have shown that Canadians took an average of just over nine sick days. According to the Conference Board of Canada, this cost the country’s economy around $16.6 billion. Ask yourself this, what sort of losses does your business experience when employees get sick? How much would your business save if employees did not need to take as many sick days?

This is all without mentioning any new precautions your business should be taking due to the impact of COVID-19. In an enclosed office, the amount of airborne pollutants is more than 100 times greater than it is outdoors, which is why thorough cleaning is so vital. During this pandemic, with many workers returning to their offices, you need to ensure the cleaning service you are paying for is putting in the effort required to keep you and your employees safe.
