Don’t let Your Business get Dragged in the Mud

Summer is finally here and a welcome relief after the long grueling winter that many have just weathered. For many office carpets, this brings the peace that comes with not having to deal with salt and slush. Summer, however, comes with it’s own set of problems, from grass clippings to mud and the occasional worm, it doesn’t seem there’s a break from the dirt.

It’s important to stay vigilant when it comes to keeping your carpets clean. While it might not be as noticeable, and with some regular vacuuming, it might even be passable. Taking a chance on what your customers see, however, isn’t always a wise bet. Your customers have a knack for finding things that you wouldn’t see. Indeed, from the moment they walk through the door till their first interaction with the sales team or representative, they are making silent assessments and judgments. We all do it, it’s part of gauging if a business is deserving of our hard earned money. The amount of things you can glean just from the cleanliness of a place is rather astounding and within the first few moments of arriving you can form an opinion of a place, specifically your place of business.

Cleaning Up Your Act 

In the restaurant world, it’s called your ABC’s or Always Be Cleaning, and it holds true for a lot of other businesses as well. The idea for kitchens is that you should never stop moving. You clean as you go and you don’t have to worry about a big mess at the end. This not only keeps things safe, but it keeps your kitchen looking good and running smooth. For an office that has janitors, they’re in a constant rotation, tidying and cleaning, with most disruptive of tasks such as vacuuming are done after hours so there’s less disturbance and distraction for you and your customers.

There are some tasks, such as deep cleaning carpets and washing windows that need to happen more often than they should. For some businesses, hiring a window washer or getting the carpets professionally cleaned can be a big expense. Carpets are even more so in trouble than windows as the dirt isn’t always noticeable.

The Benefits of Cleaning Carpets Regularly 

There are several benefits to having your carpets professionally deep cleaned on a more frequent basis than most businesses tend to do.

● Being Professional- When your business is clean, there’s a certain sense of pride that goes with it. It lends itself to a very professional image, one your customers expect to see when going through you.

● First Impressions- From new customers to inspections, having clean carpets just adds to the value of your first impression. It’s important to remember that while a returning customer might be willing to overlook something, a new one typically won’t.

● Maintains the Life of Your Carpets- While the value of this doesn’t come with a measure of instant gratification, having your carpets replaced isn’t cheap. Over time, the cost of having to redo the carpeting in an office or business can add up quickly. Deep cleaning removes the abrasive substances that cause your carpet to break down.

A Clean You can See

First impressions make for an incredible impact in what your customers think about your business. From the moment they pull into the parking lot and take that first step through the front door, they are making unconscious assessments and judgements of what they see. One of the most important factors, no matter what your business might be, is cleanliness. Stained carpet or dirt caked linoleum creates a huge negative checkmark for a potential customer. Much like walking through the aisle of a grocery store and finding a sticky spot where something had spilled and wasn’t cleaned properly. It can leave you feeling unsatisfied and in some cases disgusted, depending on the severity of the mess. The same goes for your business and customers, if your business is looking less than it’s best, a new customer can infer that the same can be said of your services. This is why having your place of business clean and professional looking is beyond important.

Working With What You Have 

Regular cleaning does go a long way. Breaking out the vacuum and mop every now again certainly helps to maintain an acceptable level of cleanliness, but is it enough? Over time, linoleum flooring can become caked with dirt and grime that doesn’t come up with a mop and bucket. If you have tile flooring, that grime builds up in the grout, becoming an unsightly nuisance that’s almost impossible to get up without spending an afternoon on hands and knees scrubbing it with a toothbrush. Carpeting can become the most difficult of all. When stains begin to set in, it seems almost impossible to get them up. When the going gets tough, the tough get professional help. While janitors can devote more time to keeping things clean, sometimes you need the help of a commercial cleaning service to make sure your business shines just as bright as the services you offer.

The Advantages of Working with a Commercial Cleaning Service 

When running a successful business, there are certain things you have to take into account for budgeting. While cleaning and upkeep are certainly among them, the amount of labor hours needed to get your business looking professionally clean can take entirely too long.
