3 Signs That It’s High-Time to Call in Office Cleaning Services

Here at Copec, we know it is quite normal for businesses to call in cleaning companies maintenance gets too much to handle. However, we also know that there are still owners who take too long to realize they need to make that call. By the time they do, the cleaners arrive only to discover a number of problems such as damaged floors, dirty walls and incurring massive expenses for supplies. That is not even considering the consequences of taking much of your time and money that should be dedicated to actually running the business! Fortunately, there are plenty of earlier signs you can easily spot that should tell you that it is high time to call a professional cleaning company.

You have increasing foot traffic.

If you have never heard this term, it is simply the amount of people who are walking in-and-out of your office. And while it is usually retailers who measure this a lot, taking note of it is an easy indicator that you will need to do a lot of sweeping at the end of the day. Whether it is because you have more employees going about or having more customers coming in, there is no telling what all that foot traffic is doing to the floors. Different types of cleaning and maintenance might be required to keep up with all those feet. Calling in professional cleaners with more experience can help keep up the pace.

Cleaning takes more than 15 minutes of the work day.

It sounds extreme but if you’re supposed to be doing something else (e.g. reviewing paperwork, getting to a meeting, designing websites etc), even 15 minutes is time you can’t afford to spend on cleaning. Hiring a cleaning company to do it full-time is clearly more cost-efficient. Professionals will know methods and techniques that consume less time and allow you to focus on truly maximizing your hours. This doesn’t change even if you want to try and just designate cleaning at the end of the day. Thinking that it’s just all about making room for more tasks is only half of the picture. Because by the end of the day, you are more likely too exhausted already to do anymore work. Spending more time cleaning up is a recipe for burnout.

You have a bigger office.

At first, it sounds like an obvious sign that you need professional cleaners. However, sometimes owners underestimate what ‘bigger’ means. Here’s a quick checklist to run through you if you want a rough idea on how large an office you have:

Your bathroom accommodates more employees.

Your total floor space is reaching into several hundred.

It takes several types of cleaning tools to get everything spruced up.

If these describe your increasingly growing workspace then highly advisable to start looking up a cleaning company to keep it maintained. Keeping things clean when everything’s still new is certainly better than calling in when the upholstery start falling apart. Overall, there is really no need to face a worst-case scenario when you want to know if it’s time to call in some professionals. All these signs are solid indicators that cleaning at any part of the day is going to take more work and more time. Getting the professionals on board will help you save up on so much, even compared to hiring and training staff.
