You spend a significant amount of time, money, and energy on maintaining your commercial facility. Perhaps you have an office building that has numerous different businesses headquartered there. There may be hundreds, if not thousands, of workers coming in and out of that office building daily.
The cleaner the building is, the safer it’s going to be for everyone. Clean floors, walls, ceilings, and other parts of the building are all going to have a direct influence on the health of the entire facility as well as air quality.
If you have a commercial facility with your own employees and not a number of other businesses, you want to reduce sick time. The best way to go about doing that is maintaining a clean workspace from top to bottom.
This may require daily cleaning and washing of the floors, vacuuming of any short pile carpets, and more. Perhaps you have only been doing that every couple of days because of the time involved in maintaining those commercial floor surfaces.
Now is the time to think about getting the right commercial floor cleaning equipment and possibly even adding maintenance personnel. How much of an investment do you need to make? That all depends on the facility, its size, and the various types of floor surfaces. It’s also important to realize that it’s not just the floors that need to be maintained and cleaned that helps to improve air quality and reduce potential sickness among your employees.
The walls should be wiped down, door handles and other surfaces that are constantly touched, including elevators, elevator buttons, stairwells and handrails, and more.
When you improve the cleanliness of your entire facility, you will notice a reduction in the number of illnesses that move about from one employee to the next and, ultimately, the number of sick hours you have to pay out.
