VOC Gasses can cause cancer and other illnesses

Is Your Commercial Cleaning Company Poisoning The Air With VOC Gasses?

/in /by

Are you aware if VOC gasses are a problem in your office?

Here’s the scenario:

You hire a commercial cleaning company to keep your office building clean. The floors are shiny, the door handles have been sanitized, toilets are cleaned, dust on desks and equipment has been removed, cubicle walls are cleaned and the garbage is thrown out regularly.

That’s a pretty solid cleaning routine in an office environment. It would be fair for you to believe you have provided a clean and healthy environment for staff and clients… right?

Not quite…

In a first-of-its-kind study, Environmental Defence tested the impact of cleaning products on indoor air quality. In all 14 studied households, levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) went up during cleaning.

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are gases that are emitted into the air from products or processes. Some are harmful by themselves, including some that cause cancer. In addition, they can react with other gases and form other air pollutants after they are in the air. Read more

Many companies resent the money they have to spend on office cleaning services.  Their idea is, if it doesn’t contribute to the bottom line, they would rather not have to spend money on it.

On the other hand, no one wants to work in a dirty environment.

It’s not the job of an office employee to dust and mop the office.  Who is going to clean the door knobs and keyboards?  Cubicle walls are some of the most bacteria laden parts of an office.

You can’t take office cleaning for granted.  Either you hire staff to do the cleaning in your office or you hire an outside office cleaning services company.

Office Cleaning for increased productivity

How Worker Productivity Improves When Office Cleaning Is A Priority For Your Company

/in /by

The right office cleaning company can increase productivity.  When you realize the advantages of keeping a clean, well maintained office environment, it’s likely to become a passion.

According to Entrepreneur.com “when the office environment is actually clean, your efficiency will increase because then everything works just the way it should, contributing to better results.”

The standard of cleaning in your office impacts the general satisfaction of employees.  And work satisfaction is, after all, a necessary part of optimizing and improving productivity.

Hygiene and cleanliness are not the same thing.  Your office could appear to be clean yet still be a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses.

When the office environment is actually clean, efficiency will increase because only then is everything working the way it should.  Your efficiency and productivity will improve because fewer employees will be calling in sick or working at a lower capacity.

When an office cleaning company uses “smart office cleaning strategies” there will be minimal disturbance or downtime to your work flow and you will have a cleaner office at a lower cost.  Minimal disturbance means less downtime and better efficiency for every department in the company. Read more
