Is Your Office Helping or Hurting Performance?
Many businesses invest heavily in technology and office design — but underestimate the
impact of hygiene.
Research shows that workplace cleanliness directly affects:
Employee productivity
Staff sickness rates
Client perception
Company morale
A poorly maintained office doesn’t just look bad — it costs money. Here’s why professional office cleaning is a smart business investment.

The Hidden Cost of Dirty Offices
📉 Lower Productivity
Studies suggest that cluttered and unhygienic workspaces can reduce focus by up to 15–20%.
🤒 Increased Sick Days Bacteria spreads rapidly through:
Keyboards
Door handles
Kitchens
