It is worthwhile to consider encouraging staff to complete a spring clean of the office At the same time as one of your cleaning companies does a full shampoo of carpet in the office, or other work premises. Cleaning companies generally do an excellent job when they complete the after hours cleaning on any premises. The cleaning companies are well equipped with good quality machinery and experienced staff so that you can be assured that carpet cleaning is effective and premises will present well each morning. Depending on staff numbers some businesses will elect to do the office cleaning themselves but the reality is that they are not properly equipped to do a thorough job. Companies surveyed have also advised that while initially it was thought that in-house cleaning would be adequate they soon realised that staff delegated to do these jobs were not happy about it, and more often than not did not do a proper job. One company surveyed made the mistake of asking a junior receptionist who was well liked and a fast learner, to take on the office cleaning as opposed to outsourcing this to one of a number of cleaning companies. The upshot of this decision was the loss of a valuable member of the staff, and disquiet amongst the remaining team that this girl had left the company. While management had thought that delegating the office cleaning was an excellent way to cut costs they had failed to consider the longer term repercussions and the cost of staff replacement and training when the junior receptionist resigned. Rather than being faced with this situation businesses are better off using the services of cleaning companies to regularly clean the offices, dust down, and vacuum. But the big advantage is in the heavy duty shampooing gear that cleaning companies have available to them to do a full and thorough shampoo of the carpeted area in any premises. This prompts staff to have a â€spring clean†in that the need to remove everything from the floor area highlights just how much â€stuff†staff accumulate which is simply out of date or no longer serving any useful purpose. Often staff will hold on to old diaries and files that they no longer refer to but they sit unattended and collect dust as well as look untidy in the office area. Encourage staff to cull their personal work stuff at the same time cleaning companies come into the workplace to shampoo carpets so that the office looks much tidier and spruced up once staff have thrown out old files and the like and carpets are cleaned †no stains or marks, looking just like brand new. It will only take half an hour or so of staff time to rid the office of a lot of unwanted files and paper. We are all hoarders by nature and paper and files can build up very quickly around a desk. Keeping diaries, boxed files from 5 years ago is a waste of valuable office space and drags down the office environment generally. Use the opportunity of a carpet shampoo to really spring clean and reap the benefits.
