School Smart: Finding Creative Cleaning Solutions

Hi. I’m Rosemary and I’m in charge of cleaning services for a large university. It really is a challenge. From graffiti on walls to chemical spills in science labs, I ensure that anything unsightly is cleaned up quickly and safely. In the course of my job, I’ve learnt that choosing the correct cleaning service for a task is the key to efficiency. I employ a general services company to do everyday cleaning, however, we regularly hire specialist carpet cleaners and definitely use qualified services for problems like chemical spills. Lots of my family members and friends call me when they have particular cleaning problems in their businesses. I figure that the knowledge I’ve collected over the years could be helpful, so I’ve started this blog. Do let me know if it’s useful and may your surfaces always be bright!

3 Reasons to Have Your Office Chairs Professionally Cleaned

by Phillip Clark

When you first purchased your office chairs, you chose products that would last and that would provide good physical support for your staff.  You may have paid a little extra to get good quality chairs.

However, while your chairs may still be in good working condition, they may not look as good as they did when you first got them. If they look a little worse for wear, then hiring a professional upholstery cleaning service is a good idea.

A clean won't just remove dirt and stains; it also has other benefits. What are they?

1. Maintain a Healthier Working Environment

Chairs don't just pick up dirt and stains when people use them. They also become home to dust mites and bacteria. This doesn't just affect one chair. People in your office spread this stuff around all your chairs as they use them.

This doesn't help you keep your office environment as healthy as you'd like. For example, if someone is ill and some of the bacteria gets on to a chair's fabric, then other people might get sick.

Additionally, anyone with an allergy to dust mites or people with problems like asthma may find that they react badly to the upholstery if it hasn't been cleaned recently. This may make them feel under par at work; they may even need to take time off sick if they feel bad enough.

A professional clean gets rid of bacteria and dust mites. It basically sterilises the chairs and reduces any unhealthy effects they might have.

2. Give Your Staff a Morale Boost

Happy staff are productive staff. While sitting in a slightly grubby chair may not seem a big deal, it will matter to at least some of your employees.

If they aren't happy with their chairs, then they may not be as happy working at their desks as they should be. They won't be comfortable if they constantly shift around to avoid stains and dirty areas.

Having your chairs cleaned creates a cleaner environment that reduces this discomfort. It also tells your employees that you care about their working conditions, which gives them a morale boost.

3. Project a Professional Image

You may not notice that your chairs don't look so good. After all, you see them every day. However, anyone who visits your office sees it with fresh eyes — they may notice that your upholstery looks grubby. If clients visit your offices, then you want to project a professional image. Dirty chairs won't help do this. So, regular professional cleans could make your company look better.

If your chairs look like they need a clean, contact a local upholstery cleaning company.
