THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND CLEANLINESS

Office Cleaning Toronto : Janitorial Services Toronto & Vaughan

Psychology is the study of the mind and its behaviour, how we think and feel.  So what does psychology have to do, you ask, with cleanliness and State Building Maintenance Limited?  We all dread coming home from work when we know we have to face the dirty dishes that we’ve left in the sink and we can easily identify as to how satisfied we feel when our homes are acceptably clean. So too when arriving at your workplace, you shouldn’t be seeing dirty dishes in the sink, so to speak. We also know, don’t we, that a clean and organized home can improve our mood, decrease our stress and can even give us the energy to do a bit more work, we want this energy to carry over to your place of business. So State Building Maintenance Limited’s first order of business is to have your customer’s and staff’s first reaction be a positive one when they walk into your building.  Ask yourself how you, a business owner, would react when opening an office’s front door that is covered with marks and has a sticky handle.  What one first observes is lasting.  In our cleaning company State Building Maintenance Limited will not settle for anything less but a positive first impression. No matter what product or service your company is selling, an unfavorable first look can affect your bottom line.  We are all taught to not judge too quickly, that there must be second chances, but that doesn’t always happen when a customer’s first thoughts are negative because of inadequate office cleaning.

State Building Maintenance Limited wants your clients and staff to look favourably upon your company, to see glistening windows, spot free floors, we want your customers to be able to walk up to a receptionist’s desk that is free from smudges, notice that the chairs that they are about to sit on are free from grime and we definitely don’t want your customers coming out of your washroom facilities with a look of disgust.  And that look of disgust can happen.  So it is State Building Maintenance Limited’s job to support your business and provide professional office cleaning services.  You may have hired a reputable decorator and purchased eye catching furniture for your office/building but that is not what will first catch the eye of your customers.  What a customer first sees, and we don’t want it to be grime, has great impact, it will create that first impression of who you are.  It can deter them from coming back for that second meeting, that second purchase, they may not give you a second chance.  In starting a new business you would no more open the doors to the public when your office, condominium, manufacturing plant or store hasn’t had an initial clean, nor would you set up a website that is slow running or difficult to navigate, so why would you not chose to run your established company without using every advantage and that is what State Building Maintenance Limited offers, that added advantage.

As it is with that first look when one enters a building, it is also that first disgusting smell that can assail your customers and effect their perception of your business. Unpleasant smells can be caused by dirty standing water, cleaning rags not changed regularly, garbage not removed daily, vents not vacuumed to allow for good air flow and not using effective disinfectants  Smell can be the deciding factor as to how a client perceives your company.

Our first and foremost job is to provide a healthy and safe environment, we work with disinfecting products and steam to kill germs, use up-to-date and effective cleaning tools, make sure your floors are clean and slip free and so forth.  Please check out our website, as WE DO IT ALL.  But we have often found that dirt begets dirt, people are less inclined to be careful when mess is not handled immediately. So sometimes it as simple as hiring our Porter Services for your washrooms during busy hours.   How many times have you looked with dismay at overflowing garbage cans, dripping wet counters and bemoaned the lack of deodorizes.  It all plays into your customer’s psyche.

We know that in many cases cleaning companies are hired because of what they are charging, often the lowest priced quote wins out, but we want to encourage businesses to look at the true “value of clean”, how the psychology behind cleanliness effects your business and not just go by price alone.    State Building Maintenance Limited offers excellent value for money and provides a safe, clean environment but there is also great value when clients arrive at your place of business and leave with no negative impressions and utter no complaints.  We believe that your workplace’s cleanliness plays an important part in bringing in new business.

Allergy Season

Keeping your office as free from allergens as possible

 

Those in the know have already performed an early spring cleaning of their offices, getting rid of salt stains and the grime tracked in on floors and carpets from our harsh winter. But now we need to talk in depth about allergy sufferers, not only those facing early spring allergies but those reacting to year round allergens.

 

Pollen is a trigger for spring allergies, causing such symptoms as runny noses and itchy, watery red eyes and in turn that can make it difficult for those allergic office staff to concentrate.  As we walk into our offices pollen is tracked in on our shoes and shed off of our clothes and where does it end up, but adhering to everything in the office as pollen is a sticky substance.  This is why State Building Maintenance advises your office to set up a daily cleaning routine to make life easier for your staff.

 

Not only is pollen a culprit in making life difficult for those suffering from allergies but general organic spills from beverages and food can in themselves create problems.  Moisture left unattended can cause mould and mildew to grow. Mould and mildew pose serious health risks and will exacerbate asthma symptoms.   Asthma is a life threatening disease.

 

A person can shed enough skin in a day to feed a million dust mites. Some people are allergic to the fecal matter that is left behind by dust mites causing such allergic symptoms as wheezing, coughing and stuffy, runny noses.  A deep vacuuming of all carpets, rugs and soft materials is essential   A steam cleaning of carpets and soft materials is what is actually needed to kill off the dust mites.  Remember, we spend many hours in the office, dust mites do not just live in your home.  Allergic reactions to the fecal matter can trigger serious asthma attacks.

 

Pollen, spills and dust mites, contributing factors to allergic reactions,  are difficult to keep on top of unless a cleaning regime is set up to include, a thorough daily cleaning of your offices, a deep vacuuming, daily, of all carpets and upholstery and a program set up on a regular basis to steam clean your carpets and soft materials.  Please let us help you keep your office allergen free.

Winter office cleaning tips for your business

It’s winter time, is your business ready? 

Keeping your workplace clean and healthy during the winter months is extremely important.  In addition to sand, slush and salt, winter is also a time when infectious illnesses increase amongst employees.

Maintaining clean and dry entrance ways are an extremely important element in keeping a safe winter workplace.  The salt and dirt dragged in from the outdoors can make your office dirty and can cause permanent damage to floors and carpets.  Slippery floors are extremely hazardous to your employee’s safety.  It is important to keep mats in the entrances and to ensure that hallways are regularly checked on and that water is quickly cleaned up. We recommend steam cleaning your carpets to ensure that pollutants are removed from your carpets.

Air quality in your office is another important part of your workplace’s environment.  Indoor air can have up to five times the amount of pollutants than outdoor air.  In the winter this air will circulate continuously throughout your workplace.  The first step is to ensure that your heating systems are properly maintained. Buildings will often collect more dust in the winter due to windows needing to be closed.  A professional duct cleaning will aid in getting dust out of your workplace.

In addition to cleaning all surfaces our team will clean hard to reach areas such as light fixtures, vents, ceiling fans and anywhere else dust can live.

Our office cleaning team are there to help keep your office clean and safe in the winter.   Our team of Office and Commercial Cleaning professionals have been providing high quality cleaning services since 1963.
