Everyone knows winters can be brutal sometimes but it still does not excuse facilities from having unattractive, disgusting floors. If the old adage is true that a firm handshake leaves an indelible first impression, then it is also true that the condition of your office floor can also leave an indelible impression on your prospective clients. Ideally, the summer months are the best time to hire a commercial cleaning company to provide professional floor care for your business. Proper floor care goes beyond just picking a floor covering that looks good, it requires professional maintenance. The purpose of this article is to discuss four reasons for including a floor maintenance plan in your janitorial services:
Customer Attraction and Revenue Increase
What business does not want to see their revenue increase? It is true that prospective clients can easily be put off by the condition of your floor, especially your lobby or entrance points. Spills or visible markings on carpets or the collection of dirt and discoloration on hard floors can send the wrong message to potential clients. It can be a major determinant in clients deciding to patronize your business or to take their hard-earned money to another business. A beautiful, well-maintained floor can contribute to your revenue increase.
2. Healthier Environment
As a business owner, it is important to think about both your customers and your staff. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has indicated that approximately 30% of reported acute toxic substance released results in at least one injury. Approximately half of those injuries were among the general public including employees. This simply means that the environment one lives works or play in can affect a person’s health negatively or positively. This is particularly true for offices that have carpet flooring. People who suffer from asthma are likely to experience asthmatic onsets when they live, work or play in places where carpets are not well maintained. Carpets are primary living areas for molds and house dust mites due to the presence of human dander (skin flakes).
3. Extended Life
Daily tasks such as sweeping, vacuuming and mopping of floors are required in order to keep your office floors neat, clean and safe for customers and employees. However, this alone will not protect your floors from the inevitable damage long term wear and tear caused. Hiring a professional to strip and wax hard surface floors and professionally clean carpets is much more cost-effective than the cost of replacement. During the cleaning process, technicians will look for and address issues like cracked and lifting tiles, frayed areas of carpet and discoloration before these issues lead to permanent floor damage.
4. Boost Team Morale
In addition to equitable financial compensation, it is a known fact that one of the best ways to boost employee morale is to provide them with a well-maintained working space. This is especially true for those who stay long hours at their respective workspaces. Just like a clean house may result in a happier occupant, a clean, well-maintained office may result in a happier employee, which can lead to increased work productivity and increased revenue.
