Hey You! Yeah I’m talking to you. The one wondering why you’d bother hiring a professional cleaner when you could just do the job yourself. The one trying to work out if the cost of a cleaner is really something your business needs. Maybe you’ve been thinking that you could just grab someone you know who can, you know, clean. Let me ask you this… If you’re running, let’s say, an accounting firm, you know that people could do the job you provide. They could take time away from their own field of expertise to get the accounts done. Or they could drag in a friend or family member to keep the books. Is this a good idea though?
A professional cleaner will be far more efficient at cleaning. They will do a better job, in quicker time, than you can. Meanwhile you aren’t diverting your attention from what you do best.
2- Keeps your focus on what bring in your money
The less you focus on what brings in your money, the less money you’re going to end up bringing in. There are a lot of bits and pieces that are essential to creating a productive workspace. However if you divert your focus onto the bits and pieces then the primary focus of your business will suffer.
3- A professional cleaner will ensure the quality of the clean
The professional cleaner knows how to get into cracks and corners that a less experienced cleaner may miss. This means you are getting rid of more than just the immediately visible grime. Those extra touches don’t just look better either.
4- Your health is better cared for
A better clean means that more of those germs, dust mites, bugs, and other gunky things, are well and truly taken care of. A good clean literally leaves your office healthier. The air is fresher. The surfaces are clearer. This means less sick days, lower risk of allergic reactions, and better ongoing health all around.
5- A Professional cleaner is insured
Accidents can happen to anyone. While a professional cleaner will have the training to minimise risk, they are also backed by comprehensive insurance for those just in case rarities.
6- The professional cleaner will use safe products and materials
They don’t just know how to clean. A professional cleaner understands the products they are working with. Harsh chemicals, products used on the wrong surface, equipment used the wrong way… there are a lot of ways that an inexperienced cleaner can cause damage.
7- Hiring a professional cleaner reduces potential tensions.
When you do the clean yourself, or get a friend or family member to help out, you’re risking straining relationships. Whether it’s from burning yourself, or someone else, out, or causing friction when something is cleaned as well as it needs to be, there’s a lot of room for potential issues. I’m not saying this will always happen, but unless the friend or family member is a professional cleaner, and they know how to keep the cleaning job within those professional boundaries, then you’re kind of asking for trouble.
8- It keeps your workers happier
You’re not leaving the expectation of cleaning on them. This ensures they can utilise their time to actually do their job. They are working in an office that is clean and fresh. This helps keeps their heads clear and focused.
9- It keeps your client’s impressed
Clients won’t know why they feel comfortable and confident when they walk into a clean office. It’s one of those things that people can only pinpoint when there’s something wrong. A messy office will turn people off. It feels unprofessional and makes clients feel like you don’t care about their health or comfort. When the place is clean, they will relax and remain more confident in your business.
10 – It is better for your bottom line
At the end of the day business decisions are about your bottom line. You can consider all the pros and cons, but what you really want to do is something that will improve your profits.
It can be hard to think of paying for a professional cleaner as anything but an expense. An expense reduces your bottom line. So stop thinking of it as just an expense.
For the reasons listed above, hiring a professional cleaner is an investment. You are investing in your business in a way that improves your ability to focus on your business. This means your capacity to generate income is increased. Your offices look better and feel better. This makes them more appealing to clients and workers. You’re reducing the chance of mistakes, mishaps, damage, or other costly slip ups.
