First impressions count
You only get one chance to impress a client, customer, or employee so it is vital you make a lasting first impression for all the right reasons. As soon as they enter your business they are judging you based on their surroundings. If your premises are dirty, unpleasant, or uninviting then you may lose the business to your competitors. The physical appearance of your building can say a lot about your business values and your work ethic. By not taking pride in the appearance of your business’ premises then you may be saying all the wrong things to potential clients or customers.
Protects Against Degradation
If you don’t carry out external maintenance on your building you may start to experience extensive structural problems which will take longer and cost more to fix in the long run.
Algae and mould may start to grow on your surfaces if you neglect the cleaning of your building and this may start to cause issues. If your building is by the coast, you may find that salt deposits from the sea damage your building’s surface coatings, and so these will need to be cleaned off as soon as possible.
Premature ageing problems like cracks, peeling paint, mould and dry rot can be prevented by regularly maintaining your building’s exterior and this will help to save you a lot of money in repairs further down the line.
Improves the Value of Your Property
If you are considering moving to different business premises and you need to sell yours first, it’s definitely worth investing in having the outside of your building professionally cleaned before you put it on the market. This will show prospective buyers that you have taken care of the building and will increase its curb appeal and therefore your selling value.
This works in the same way for residential properties and so you should ensure that you clean the exterior of your house if you consider putting it on the market. This will give the impression that your street is a great place to live and prospective buyers will judge a house on their first impressions and curb appeal could become a big factor in their decision to buy.
Provides a Better Working Environment
Your staff’s productivity levels are directly affected by the environment in which they are working. Clean and tidy surroundings will create a more positive atmosphere, helping to increase the amount and quality of work completed as well as improving the attitude of your workforce.
A clean outside space is also beneficial to your staff when they take breaks outside during good weather. If you have outside space, ensure that this is kept clean and tidy and that there is somewhere for staff members to sit and have a break from their work. Having a proper break is crucial to staff wellbeing.
Improve Employee Productivity/ Morale
A clean workplace is a more productive workplace. Providing your employees with a clean and germ-free workplace improves productivity as happy employees do a better job. It can also increase employee satisfaction, helping you maintain a low turnaround. Employees who are happy to come to work and get things done generally plan to stay with a company for longer. A clean workplace can truly set your employees up for success.
It's cost-effective
You may not think so at first, but spending money on a professional cleaning service can actually save you money in the long run. It helps you save time, and as the old saying goes, time is money, after all.
But, it also helps you save in other ways. If you tried to handle the cleaning services yourself, think about how much money you’d have to spend to purchase all of the cleaning supplies and tools. Even if you didn’t buy a power washer, you’d still have to spend the money to rent them occasionally.
Over time, those costs can add up to a significant chunk of change. When you hire a commercial cleaning service like Hydrojet, we’ll bring all the necessary equipment and supplies with us, at no extra charge.
