The problem is simple enough. If you don’t do enough to create a clean environment for customers and staff, you risk upsetting them and losing business. Yet, if you hire commercial cleaning services too often, you may feel that you’re being wasteful.

So, what signs do you look out for to hire cleaners no more than necessary and maintain a safe, customer-satisfying environment?

We’re Powerhouse Cleaners, a team continually raising the cleaning and customer care standards throughout Schenectady, NY. And we’re happy to share the answer with you.

1. You’re experiencing more footfall

When more people are visiting your property, cleaning necessarily needs to be more thorough and frequent.

That’s why, if you’ve seen an uptick in customers recently, you have a clear sign that you need to hire commercial cleaners.

And this isn’t something to put off for too long, since increased visits to your office can easily overwhelm your current sanitary practices.

And, with more customers to either gain or lose, making a poor impression is especially costly at peak times.

Depending on your business, seasonal increases in customer traffic may be a yearly occurrence. If so, you can reasonably expect a greater need for commercial cleaning services during those times when business picks up.

2. You haven’t adapted to rising customer safety expectations

Studies have proven for years that customers attach safety, trust, and prestige to a clean commercial space.

In light of recent events, however, cleanliness has taken on a deeper meaning. A survey shows that since 2020, customers’ idea of basic cleaning has changed drastically.

Today, more than 57% of customers view frequent disinfection as nothing more than a business’ typical duty. There’s doubt as to whether this perception will ever really be reversed.

It’s understandable that the majority of businesses, perhaps including yours, have had a difficult time adjusting.

Hire commercial cleaning services soon if your business’ cleanliness isn’t living up to new customer standards. You’ll appreciate that, after assessing your business’ current sanitation routine, they can arrange a schedule that fits your updated needs.

3. Staff are less productive

Another known fact is that staff lose motivation in dirty and disorderly environments.

Studies, and most likely your own experience, have shown that employees see the cleanliness of their environment as a direct sign of how much a company values them.

At its worst, poor cleanliness is thought to contribute to staff turnover.

So, if your employees seem unmotivated and your environment’s not as neat as it could be, cleaning is one avenue for fixing things.

4. You’re currently doing your own cleaning

You may be a business owner with a small enough operation that you can clean it by yourself. For several reasons, doing so is hardly ever a good idea.

To begin with, the time you spend cleaning your offices is automatically time taken away from other tasks that grow your business.

While a consistently clean environment is non-negotiable for continued business success, your time is better spent on activities that are more core to the business.
