Your home isn’t the only place that can use a good scrubbing to prepare for the warmer, sunnier weather. If you have an office, spring cleaning will breathe fresh air into the space and rejuvenate your workplace. Here are just a few of the ways office cleaning can be beneficial this time of year. 

Why Spring Clean Your Office?

1. Keep Employees Healthy

To reduce the number of sick days your employees have to use, keep their workspace free from bacteria and viruses. Based on your office size, daily to weekly cleanings are recommended to sanitize heavily used objects and areas—such as bathrooms, doorknobs, phones, and general work surfaces—and decrease the spread of germs. However, seasonal deep cleanings will help to purge areas that are not cleaned regularly like curtains, air vents, fans, and other places known to harbor dust and indoor allergens. 

2. Increase Productivity

Part of cleaning is organizing. When your office is more orderly, and items are where they belong, your employers will spend less time searching for files or supplies and more time on the projects they are working on. Having systems in place also reduces piles of clutter, which can become visual distractions. When your employees can focus their mental energies on their tasks, they’ll get their work done more efficiently.  

3. Prevent Injuries

Organizing and cleaning your office will also ensure that the space is free of any obstructions that could cause employees to trip and fall. A cleaning company will put files on shelves, supplies in closets or drawers, and get rid of any clutter on the floors. They can also help rearrange the furnishings to prevent injuries. Slip and fall accidents can cost you; in addition to losing a valuable employee for some time, you may need to cover the medical bills and other costs.
