This is why you need to make sure your office is regularly cleaned and maintained to ensure that your employees are happy, healthy, and productive, while also leaving a good first impression on business partners and potential customers. Proper floor cleaning has long term benefits. Tips and solutions can be found below.

Benefits of Proper Floor Care!

Good Impression

One of the first things people notice when they enter a business is the floors. If they are dirty, streaked, or have an unpleasant odor, people may be turned off and not want to do business. Potential business partners may see stained floors as a sign the company is unprofessional.

Safety

Clean floors not only look good but, improves the safety of anyone who enters the business. If the floors are not properly maintained, dirt, grit, and grime can become a tripping hazard. Slips and falls can lead to injuries and expensive legal action.

Enhancing Work Environment

People enjoy going to work in a clean workplace. Employees will not go the extra mile to dress to impress knowing the workplace is dirty and smelly. This viewpoint could show the ownership and management do not care about the environment you work.

Fresh & Healthier Environment

The traffic density in many businesses creates a haven for germs, especially hospitals, and can lead to a spread of illnesses and diseases. The majority of people spend time together in the workplace, which makes it crucial to keep floors and surfaces thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to ensure people are healthy and happy.

Tips to Keep Office Floors Cleaner

Persistent Mopping
This will help reduce the amount of accumulated dirt and helps keep stains from setting into the floor, resulting in a healthier environment. With proper mopping products, this makes the floor substantially cleaner and shinier.

Frequent Cleaning of Equipment
TThe cleanliness of your equipment is vital as floors become much dirtier if you start the process with dirty cleaning equipment. Make sure the mop is cleaned regularly and kept dry between cleanings.

Frequent Deep Cleaning
Daily mopping is crucial for keeping surface dirt away; deep cleaning will help to preserve floors from damaging dirt and water.

Using Floor Mats
Studies show that 70% to 80% of dirt and debris that enters a facility comes through the front door — by way of building occupants and visitors’ shoes. By using Mats, the amount of dirt and debris making its way to the floors greatly decreases.
