The Importance of Cleaning Office Windows

Your office window cleaning schedule is probably a thought that doesn’t come up much.  You may believe that clean windows are not a concern, as long as your internal office is clean and tidy. Windows are a part of a building’s exterior and interior, but they are regularly overlooked when it comes to cleaning. Window cleaning for a large office is a cleaning duty that can take time and effort to stay on top, even if your office is on the smaller side. Window cleaning for small offices, unless you have professional knowledge, can be a hassle to carry out yourself. Window cleaning spray is perfect for removing fingerprints and light dirt, however, when it comes to built–up dirt, or even the externals of the windows, then window cleaning spray just won’t cut it.

Keeping your windows clean will do more than just bring in more sunshine, it can help improve your office environment, company image and more. Here are three reasons why having clean windows can make such a difference.

First Impressions Count

First impressions count. Your office and the building itself is a reflection of the business. It may be the first physical entity of the business that a client may come and gaze upon. Their first impression may be created from this first point of reference – why would you not make it as good as possible? 

When a client is visiting your business premises, having dirty, dusty windows suggest that you don’t care about your business – they may believe that this is the same for your customers. 

Ensuring your windows are clean year-round shows that you care about the detail, the duties that at first may seem insignificant but contribute to the overall business operations and success.  

Improve Office Hygiene

Don’t let dirt, grime, or worse, mould build up in your office and over your office windows, as this may contribute to a decline in your staff overall health. Mould in particular can cause respiratory health issues, especially in those with allergies such as asthma.  Mould can grow quickly in an office where there is a low level of ventilation. As an employer, it is your duty to make sure your office is a safe working environment. Mould build-up that is not dealt with within a reasonable timeframe, especially if one of  your office workers fall ill due to it, may lead to legal action. 

Boost Staff Morale

Natural sunlight helps boost happiness, morale and ultimately productivity. Studies show access to natural light and views of the outdoors are the number one attribute of the workplace environment, outranking benefits like onsite cafeterias and gyms. It has been estimated that human beings spend between 80% and 90% of their lives indoors, and this lack of natural sunlight has an adverse effect on the body and the mind, and can result in conditions such as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as ‘winter depression’. To make the office a more pleasant environment, improve morale, reduce SAD and help boost productivity, it is in your best interest to ensure the sun can shine through brightly, all day long. 

Hiring a professional office window cleaner to clean your windows regularly, takes the problem out of your hands and ensures that they are maintained to high standards, all year round.
