Here at Cleaning North West, we are Preston’s leading cleaning experts. As a result, we have produced this guide to office cleanliness and good impressions.
Where do good impressions count?
If your office or business premises is not likely to be visited by clients or customers, you might not think that the cleanliness of your building will matter. However, new employees and prospective hires will be entering your office, and they are likely to tell other people, if your office is really untidy. Word of mouth is important for reputation, and it works the same way when it comes to cleanliness.
On the other hand, if customers and clients will be entering your office space, there is even more reason to keep it clean.
They will pay most attention to:
⦁ the outside and the entrance
⦁ the main area
⦁ the toilets
The outside and the entrance
If you are on the fourth floor of a shared office block, there isn’t much you can do about the exterior of your office. However, making sure your business is well signposted can help people find their way around, and keeping the entrance to your own space clean and clear is a good way to make a good impression.
The main area
The main body of your office, where all your employees and desks are is likely to attract anyone’s attention. So keep this clean, tidy, and clutter free, and your company will make a better impression than an office where empty food wrappers and piles of paperwork are left lying around.
The toilets
Your visitors may need to use the toilet, so you need to make sure that the toilets are regularly cleaned and smell fresh. Stained and dirty toilets are a sure fire way to lose customers and clients, as it leaves a really bad impression.
Office cleanliness and good impressions go hand in hand. Without a clean office, you will not make the lasting impression you hoped for, and you could lose sales. So hire a professional cleaning team to take care of your work environment. Get in touch with the experts here at Cleaning North West.
