Hiring professional commercial cleaners to maintain your office space might seem like a big decision. If you’re a business owner who has gone back and forth about hiring a commercial cleaning company, we’re here to help! 

A cleaning company has many benefits, including flexible scheduling, customizable cleaning plans, saving time and money, and leaving a good impression on guests. Aside from these advantages, commercial cleaning companies are important because they can help keep your business free of germs and ensure your space’s appearance is impeccable. 

If you’re still up in the air, here are five signs you should hire a commercial cleaning service:

1. There’s visible dirt around the office. If you notice dirt, dust, and other debris built up around your office or storefront, it’s time to call in the professionals. A buildup of visible dirt means you should have called in professionals a while ago, but there’s no time like the present. Commercial cleaning experts can easily remove that buildup and use products that clean, sanitize, and help prevent future dirt and germs from accumulating. Better yet, commercial cleaning pros will be on top of everything, including the most commonly missed areas.
2. Your employees are sick, frustrated, or both. As a business owner, you need employees to be at the top of their game. They can’t perform at their best in a dirty workplace. If you’ve noticed an uptick in employees calling out sick, it could be time to evaluate what your janitorial service is doing. In a busy workspace, germs and bacteria can quickly spread. If employees are getting sick due to the working conditions, you’ll want a team of professionals that know the difference between cleaning and sanitizing. Conversely, if you see a lack of morale among your employees, it could be caused by a less-than-clean office. Listen to what your employees are saying and evaluate your office space to ensure everyone is pleased with the cleanliness of your business. If they’re not, it might be time to schedule routine office cleanings.
3. You don’t have the time to commit to keeping your workspace clean. If you own and operate a business, it’s highly unlikely you’ll have time to clean the office yourself. That’s especially true if you own multiple locations or a massive warehouse stocked with inventory. Trust a professional cleaning service to do the things you don’t have time to do, like dust, mop, sanitize, and deep clean your office space. 
4. You have customers coming in and out. If welcoming customers into your business is part of your operation, trust a commercial cleaning company to keep everything clean and sanitized. Customers notice things, especially when a business or office space isn’t as clean as it could be. Additionally, your customers can drag in dirt and debris when entering your building. Though it’s not your customer’s responsibility to clean up their tracks, it is yours. Regular cleaning from a commercial cleaning company will help maintain your space’s appearance. 
5. Employees are trying to tackle the cleaning themselves. While it’s nice if your employees clean up after using shared appliances like the microwave or coffee pot, you shouldn’t expect them to maintain the cleanliness of the entire office. If one or more of your employees is cleaning floors and other areas around the office, it’s time to hire professionals. Your employees don’t know what surfaces need to be disinfected and aren’t trained in proper sanitizing methods, which means they could leave dust, germs, and bacteria behind. Plus, cleaning their own office space can be a significant blow to employee morale. It’s a job best left to the pros!
