A Dirty Floor Is Hurting Your Business
As a business owner, you know there are a variety of factors that contribute to your success. A good business plan and strong leadership are among these factors, of course. But here’s something you might not have considered: your floors. Yes, clean floors might not be the first thing you think of. But if you haven’t had your floors professionally cleaned in a while, you should think about taking care of them.
Here are some sneaky ways they might be harming your business.
Poor Brand Image
You’ve heard it many times: you never get another chance to make a first impression. Clean floors leave visitors with an impression of safety and comfort, while dirty floors convey the opposite.
More Sick Days
All day long, your floors absorb germs that people bring in from the outdoors on their feet. Over time, these germs can attack your employees’ health. As they call in sick more frequently, your overall productivity suffers.
Dangerous Environment
Dirty floors create tripping hazards for employees and visitors. In addition, old spills that haven’t been thoroughly cleaned can cause people to slip and fall. This is most concerning if you are in a health-related field.
Shorter Floor Lifespan
No matter what your floors are made of, dirt will shorten their lifespan. Over time, that dirt can become ground in, causing damage to the surface and even to the structure of your flooring. Certain kinds of chemicals can eat away at the floor if left uncleaned.
Decreased Productivity
You already know how sick days affect your business, but what about ongoing poor health? If your employees aren’t feeling well, they won’t be at their peak performance even if they’re still dragging themselves into the office.
What To Do
Cleaning all flooring regularly with state-of-the-art equipment is the best way to prevent dirty floors from damaging your business. However, due to money or staffing issues, this solution is impractical for many businesses.
