Why Choose Professional Cleaning Services? An Insight into Protective Force

South Africans spend most of their waking hours at work. While many businesses use cleaning services, the actual cleaning performed is often minimal, with a quick vacuum and emptying of trash. Deeper dirt, dust, allergens, and pathogens remain in carpets, on blinds, and deep within the upholstery of office furniture. Read about the benefits of a professional commercial cleaning, and why your business should consider investing in a high-quality cleaning from Protective Force:

Increased Employee Productivity

Your employees are happier when the workspace is fresh, clean, and free from accumulated dust and dirt. The air smells sweet, and is healthier to breathe. While many businesses understand the need for ongoing employee training and recognise that a healthy company culture is important, very little thought may be paid to the most important factor in productivity – pure, clean air. 

While it is well-established that polluted air is risk to human health, many business owners may not realise the significant impact of unhealthy indoor air. 

Within the walls of a business, the air may be contaminated with particulate matter, all of which is continuously circulated by the HVAC system. Research reveals that polluted indoor air quality leads to a significant drop in productivity. It is believed that dirty, unhealthy indoor air diminishes human cognitive function. 

The EPA reports that indoor air quality is one of the top five risks to human health in the South Africa. Studies released by the agency have established that indoor air often contains levels of pollutants higher than what is found in the outside air. Even the most well-run business may have a hidden indoor air quality problem, leading to lost productivity. 

Want a team of bright, eager, productive employees? Help them breathe cleaner air. A regularly performed, deep, professional cleaning leaves your office air clean and fresh. 

Reduced Spread of Disease – Fewer Sick Days

Most businesses struggle when a virus is spread from employee to employee. With many of your most valued team out of the office, production slows. 

Whether an illness is affecting your sales, delivery, or other area, reducing the spread of disease is important. Even when employees are asked to remain at home when ill, many disregard this request, and then move through the office spreading the virus by contacting various surfaces, which are contacted by others, and so it goes. A deep, professional cleaning is an important factor in keeping your workforce healthier and can help reduce the spread of the latest virus. 

Thorough cleaning services for the entire workplace is a critical aspect in warding off the spread of disease. All shared areas, including bathrooms, breakrooms, and training rooms must be disinfected to help avoid employee illness. 

Many companies recognise that investing in no-touch wastebaskets, hand-drying systems, and soap dispensers can be a critical step in ensuring that all shared areas are disinfected. The CDC recommends sanitising areas such as desktops, doorknobs, faucets, and phones daily. At Protective Force, our professional team can advise you about the most effective cleaning services and products to you help limit the spread of dangerous viruses. Viruses live and pose the risk of infecting others for up to 48 hours on a surface such as a desk, workstation, or table. 

A Positive, Professional Appearance

Contrast two ideas: Walking into a business that has stained carpet, dusty desks, and trash overflowing with crumpled paper and takeout cartons, or walking into a business that looks pristine, smells fresh, and is obviously clean. 

The image you project to customers is an important factor in the success of your operation. A shoddy appearance creates the impression that your business performs shoddy work. A smart, clean, sanitary appearance, with air that smells fresh and sweet produces a subtle impact on customers, clients, and visitors to your enterprise – and higher confidence in your business goods or services. 

Good business “housekeeping” (cleaning services) includes several critical steps. Some of the more obvious are reducing clutter accumulating in stairways, halls, and other walking areas, keeping trash bins clean, rather than just replacing bags, along with effective dust and dirt removal performed daily. 

Standard vacuums, even larger models often used by small commercial cleaning services companies, do not offer the option of HEPA filters, which are needed in businesses that work with hazardous substances. No matter what industry, at Protective Force, our team of professionals has the correct equipment for the job at hand.

Many areas must be thoroughly cleaned every day, while others will require periodical maintenance. The kitchen, coffee area, or any space where food is consumed must be sanitised daily. The refrigerator should be cleaned and sanitised weekly. An office microwave or stove must be cleaned daily.
