When you have potential clients coming in for meetings, ask yourself the following:

• Does it look like you have everything is under control?
• Does it look like you take care of your building, your employees and your customers?

First impressions are everything, especially when you own a business.

Having a clean office space makes you appear more detail-oriented, accessible, approachable, mindful, organized and in tune to your work environment to everyone who walks through the doors. But, clean office spaces are also a lot of work.

And, worse still, they’re expensive—or at least appear to be.

No matter the industry, there’s a good chance scheduling regular commercial cleanings isn’t a top priority. Of course, there are several reasons why this could be the case…you don’t find the right company, they don’t have wonderful reviews, or their pricing is too expensive to even consider.

But, we’re here to change that mindset. The team at Scruples has compiled a list of ways a clean office will affect the first impressions you receive, and why investing in the right commercial cleaning company is your best route to success.

No matter who your business serves, or what your business specializes in, a clean office will always work in your favor: from winning over prospective clients, gaining the confidence of new team members, or maintaining a high employee morale to keep your current employees happy and productive.

Most employees consider their workplaces as a second home. When you invest in commercial cleaning services, you invest in:

• Your productivity
• Your appearance
• Your atmosphere
• Your success

A clean office is far more productive and inviting than a messy office – it’s as simple as that. When you take time improve your work environment and allow professionals to get your office fresh, sanitized and safe, you are investing in the health and comfort of all who enter and work in the building.

It’s a win-win situation: a clean office leads to happy employees and impressed clients, impressed clients lead to more projects, happy employees lead to more productivity and happy clients, and happy clients lead to a big boost in business.
