What Exactly Do Office Cleaners Do?

Diann cleaning As you look around your office space, you may be fooled into thinking there is not a lot to do in the way of cleaning on a continuing basis. After all, no one lives there permanently, and you are all adults, right? You can keep your workplace clean and tidy? Much like a home, office spaces can get dirty and unhygienic very quickly if the cleaning is left piling up and you will be pleasantly surprised just how much a professional commercial cleaner can do for your office cleaning needs.

South West Cleaning offers a range of commercial cleaning services that you may be letting pass in your office. Their experienced team works with you to meet your specific needs and delivers the perfect service to suit your requirements. One off jobs or regular services; South West Cleaning provides a professional and affordable service tailored to your business needs.

We offer services from the simple to the complex, including (but not limited to):

The Basics: Emptying bins, vacuuming and mopping
Wet Areas: Cleaning kitchens and bathrooms
Walls and Floors: Tile cleaning and Window washing

The Basics

Mopping in an Office Although you may expect your staff to take care of these basic cleaning duties, you have not hired them to do so and their productivity will decrease and valuable paid time wasted if they spend it emptying bins and wiping down desktops. From dusting to disposing of office rubbish and removing cobwebs and nests, South West Cleaning takes pride in even the most basic cleaning duties that make an office clean again.

Wet Areas

Often forgotten but overly populated, bathrooms and kitchens can get filthy very quickly. From food waste being trapped in sink holes to mould and grime forming on benchtops and in sinks, these areas breed germs and are not the responsibility of your staff to clean up. South West Cleaning will eradicate these potential germ zones and leave your wet areas hygienically clean to stop the spread of infection and possible sickness.

Walls and Floors

The windows are always overlooked until they become opaque with grime, so why not get them cleaned professionally? And flooring deals with high traffic, both from clients and staff. Getting your carpets steam cleaned not only prolongs their lifespan, it looks and smells noticeably better and steam cleaning tiles ensures a clean look and significantly better hygiene standards. South West Cleaning specialise in chair, carpet, tile, window and glass cleaning, using only the highest quality, non-toxic cleaning products to ensure a superior job.

How Professional Office Cleaners Can Save You Money

Office Hiring a professional is always a great idea, no matter what industry you run your business in. Selecting specific trades that are skilled and experienced in their field will usually guarantee you superior results within your budget and in a surprisingly shorter amount of time than expected. South West Cleaning is no exception to this rule; servicing the offices of the South West for over 10 years. Whether you are after some basic office cleaning in a small office, a large commercial cleaning job or looking for one of our specialist treatments, hiring our professional cleaners will save you money and leave your office sparkling.

So how can spending money on a cleaning service actually save your business money? If you’ve been relying on your office staff or simply not bothering at all, you might be pleasantly surprised just how much professional office cleaners can save your business, and not just in monetary value.

Save on Materials
Save on Staff
Save on Sick Days

Save on Materials

When you DIY a job, you have to supply the tools and materials to complete the job. When you factor in the continuous cost of cleaning supplies, maintenance on cleaning machinery and replacement of tools, this can severely impact your business running costs, especially seeing as your office will require far more heavy-duty equipment and supplies than an average home. Professional cleaners supply their own products and equipment

Save on Staff

Are you spending your own precious time cleaning your office rather than working in your business? Or are you asking your qualified staff to clean their workplace? Relying on staff to clean beyond the basics is not only unprofessional, it can damage staff morale and cause resentment when you ask skilled staff to complete duties they were not employed to perform. When you hire staff from South West Cleaning, you are hiring efficient and fast paced experts in office cleaning, leaving you and your staff to get back to business.

Save on Sick Days

Dirty, unhygienic offices make staff sick, and sick days cost a business money. Professional office cleaning, including steam cleaning of carpets and tiles, antibacterial treatments of kitchens and bathrooms and simple removal of food waste in rubbish bins, will significantly decrease the likelihood of germs and bacteria breeding, and spreading, within your workplace.

Help! Our Office Kitchen Needs a Good Scrub!

The office kitchen is one of the main hubs of your workplace. Staff eat their meals here, they chat over coffee and small, informal meetings or gatherings can be hosted in this room. But this area can also cause headaches for staff when, just like a domestic kitchen, nobody wants to clean up their own mess, or this job is not allocated to anyone. Disputes over whose turn it is to clean the kitchen can turn staff understandably hostile and resentful as they were not employed to clean up after others and cleaning is not the job they were hired to do.

South West Cleaning can solve all your office kitchen cleaning woes with regular or once-off cleaning jobs to ensure your kitchen stays clean and sanitary. Their years of experience and know-how will guarantee your kitchen is left sparkling, whatever industry you work in.

Safer and cost effective.

Equipment, experience and expertise

Safer and Cost Effective

Professional window cleaners are trained to safely and efficiently clean your windows. There is no chance of unsightly smudges, dirt or water marks being left behind for you to “touch up” and no risk to you or your staff working with glass and chemicals and sometimes at great heights.

Staff Morale and Appropriate Job Allocation

office clean You employ your staff to do a job within the office or shop space, not to clean windows. Being expected to complete jobs they are not adequately trained for can result in employees feeling unsure of their required duties and frustrated with extra work.

Sparkling windows, however, make everyone smile! A clean and bright workplace can only encourage productivity and enthusiasm for one’s job.

Are Your Office Floors Screaming For A Deep Clean?

Business woman standing in office

The floors in your work space take a lot of traffic. Whether you work in an industrial environment and work boots are clomping mud and workshop debris all over the office floor, or a more formal office that sees a lot of movement and wear and tear from shoes, chairs and office equipment, chances are the most important surface of your workspace is in need of a deep clean and maybe even a facelift!

South West Cleaning offers a range of commercial cleaning options for even the grubbiest of floors; from areas that are seldom used and accumulate dust and grime to high traffic areas and customer service spaces. They specialise in deep, through cleaning of the following floor coverings:

Carpets
Vinyl
Tiles

Carpets

Carpets are the worst culprits for hidden nasties. A carpet can look clean but underneath it is harbouring all sorts of grime and dirt, which bacteria and germs love to hide away in. Not to mention the smell of carpet that is repeatedly damp or soiled. Deep steam cleaning of carpets can not only remove these disease-causing bugs and smelly stains, but also prolongs the life of your carpet and increases the aesthetics in your workplace.

Take advantage of South West Cleaning’s large, industrial steam cleaners and advanced experience in deep carpet cleaning to get your workplace carpets clean and hygienic again.

Vinyl

South West Cleaning not only specialise in exceptional cleaning services, they can also strip and seal your vinyl floor coverings to rejuvenate the floor surface in your office or workspace. This procedure involves a large-scale removal of vinyl and re-seal, so it is best to do in a period of time, say Christmas holidays, when the staff are absent to minimise disruption, but it is well worth the time. Scuffs, bubbles, damage and discolouration are all removed in this process, leaving the floor looking like new for a fraction of the price.

Tiles

A great, hard wearing alternative, tiles and their grout can often become discoloured and dirty in high traffic areas. South West Cleaning can give your tiles new life with their steam cleaners and specialised cleaning products, as well as buffers and polishes to bring out the best in these floor features.

Is Your Office Floor Screaming For A Deep Clean?

Just because it is underfoot doesn’t mean it needs to be at the back of your mind. Whether your workspace or office floors be carpet, vinyl or tiles, South West Cleaning has the experience and equipment to get the job done quickly and cost effectively.

Tips For A Healthy Work Space

clean office You keep your home clean and safe from dust and grime that harbours bacteria, being clean is vital to keep your family healthy and your office space should be no different. Multiple people in a generally confined space means infection can spread and bacteria can grow quickly if your work space is not kept hygienically clean. South West Cleaning are the experts in commercial and office cleaning and can assist you in all areas of maintaining a clean and healthy workplace.

Some tips for keeping your office germ free include:

Wash your Hands
Throw Your Rubbish In A Lidded Bin
Keep Everything In Order
Take A Break
Maintain A Clean Office

Wash your hands

The simplest way to avoid infection spread is to practice correct hand washing techniques. Keep in mind to do it often. After going to the bathroom, after eating or blowing your nose / sneezing / coughing are all the best opportunities to ensure your hands are washed to prevent the spread of infection.

Throw Your Rubbish In A Lidded Bin

The rubbish bin is just for that – rubbish, and although most offices bins contain mainly paper, some food scraps and other germ harvesting materials can cause bacteria to accumulate. Avoid throwing leftover food into your bin and make sure it has a lid.

Keep Everything In Order

Keeping things organized not only results in a more efficient workplace, but can reduce the amount of clutter on your desk and work area. Everything having its place in the office results in less stress and higher productivity.

Take a Break

Overworking causes stress and can result in a weakened immune system. Getting out in the sunshine and the fresh air will not only give your body a stretch and brain a break, it will also allow your body to regenerate cells that enable it to function to its full potential.

Maintain a Clean Office

Office A clean office can bring out the best in everyone, however it is not a job for your employees. You employ them to do their job and the expectation is that they will keep their own work space presentable and considerate. You have not employed them to clean the work environment and by expecting this of your employees, you take away from productivity time. Hiring professionals to get this important task completed out of hours is essential to the smooth and sanitary running of your business.

Bring Out Your Best with a Clean Office

office Your workplace is not only the space that you spend a significant amount of time in, it is also the home of your business. To show your clients and staff just how high your expectations are, a clean office not only portrays professionalism but creates an atmosphere of pride and great staff morale. Nobody wants to work in a dirty office space and nobody wants to visit one either.

Clean offices not only promote productivity, they also provide many other benefits:

Infection Control
Motivation
Good Vibes
Less Stress
Prolong equipment lifespan

Infection Control

Having clean surroundings keeps away the dust and dirt that house germs and diseases, not only from staff but also from clients. With the main cause of multiple sick days and staff members absent at one time being the spread of infectious diseases, such as colds, flu and stomach bugs, a clean office space will ensure the spread of infection is minimalized.

Motivation

Morale and motivation are important factors when working. It helps generate more productivity in the workplace. Nobody wants to work in an office where the rubbish bins are always full or the shelves, seating and work spaces are covered in rubbish and leftovers.

Good Vibes

Entering your workplace and seeing the neat and tidy environment and smelling that lovely clean, fresh smell will make everyone feel good, staff and clients alike.

Less stress

Stress is a major workplace health risk factor and can result in unfinished work, poor quality output, mental health issues and puts the safety of others in the workplace at risk. Factors such as added pressure to clean up the workspace, clutter and an unhygienic environment simply add to stress and increase its impact in the workplace.

Prolong equipment life span

Clean, well maintained equipment will always last longer than that which has been neglected. Dirt and dust that gets accumulated over a period of time can negatively impact all office equipment, including printers, projectors, computers, office chairs and electricals. Keeping it clean and well maintained results in less downtime if you need to replace your equipment.
