If you are a business owner, you are responsible for the health and safety of your employees, customers and clients. At the same time, you have to keep up a professional appearance to ensure you are taken seriously in your industry. Cleanliness and professionalism are two great reasons to schedule regular carpet cleaning, disinfecting and deodorizing for your business – no matter what industry you’re in or what your size.
The bottom line is, a clean workplace is good for business. In fact, a clean and healthy workspace has a major impact on running a successful business. But if you’re like most business owners, you don’t take notice of small details like the state of your carpeting until you start smelling odors or finding noticeable stains.
By then, it’s too late. Your clients have noticed, and they may be associating it with a lack of professionalism and care. This is why you need to make sure your office is regularly cleaned and maintained so your employees are healthy and productive, while also ensuring a good first impression on your guests, business partners and potential customers.
Here are five reasons why carpet cleaning is important for business.
1. First Impressions Count
A clean, tidy work environment is more appealing and welcoming to any potential clients, instilling confidence and creating trust from the very beginning. It also leaves clients with the impression of professionalism, efficiency and attention to detail. Dirty floors or stained carpets tell people that you’re lacking the necessary professionalism to properly take care of your employees, let alone new clients!
2. Elevate Your Brand
A clean work environment implies exceptional products and services, whether you’re serving food, selling furniture or doing taxes. Potential customers are constantly judging your brand based on how you present yourself and how your office space looks and feels. You can’t risk having a potential customer walk away before you even get the chance to do business with them.
3. Save Money
Professional commercial carpet cleaning can save you money on a number of levels.
- It can prevent wear and damage to your floors, as neglecting the cleaning of your carpets can drastically reduce their lifespan. You’ll end up having to replace them sooner than you should have to, costing you many thousands of dollars depending on the size of your space.
- Outsourcing your carpet cleaning prevents you from having to keep a professional on staff, shelling out a lot of money in benefits and insurance. Instead, hire an outside firm on a regular basis, gaining access to seasonal specials, coupons and discounts, and benefiting from their expertise and experience.
- Hire a pro and you can free up your time to concentrate on tasks that make your business money and help you be more productive.
4. Healthy Work Place
You should never task your employees with cleaning duty. You will need to hire a dedicated cleaning crew or professional cleaning service to clean every part of your workspace, whether that’s floors and carpets or duct work and tile. An unclean work environment can quickly become a breeding ground for germs and allergens, which can sicken your employees and lead to increased paid sick days.
5. Air Quality
Air quality greatly influences workspace performance and the health of your employees. Research shows that people spend 90 percent of their time indoors, where the airborne pollutants are much higher in number. Thus, this poses greater risks to the health of your guests, customers and employees.
