‘A tidy office means a tidy mind’, are you getting the most out of us?

Are you getting the most out of us?

It can be tempting to regard professional cleaning as a simple matter of keeping one’s premises clean and tidy – an important, if rather superficial, exercise in ‘keeping up appearances’.  But to view your cleaning regime in these terms is to miss out on its true significance. Your cleaning regime can make a huge difference to the health of your business – from your ability to hire and retain the best staff, to creating a lasting, positive impression upon your customers and suppliers.

On the general level, the old adage of ‘a tidy office means a tidy mind’ is particularly true when applied to business premises. When offices or commercial buildings are kept in a state of sparkling cleanliness, the environment rubs off on the people who work there – and the result is a rigorous and methodical approach to their daily responsibilities.

At Glenn, we ensure that our clients’ premises are conducive to a productive, efficient workforce.

Flooring

Often, we take for granted the floor beneath our feet. We hardly spare it a thought. But for visitors to your building, the state of your floor is very often the first thing they notice. We are experts in the cleaning and maintenance of every type of flooring – carpeting, parquet, laminate, stone, and many more. We have the experience and equipment to deep-clean and restore them to a beautiful finish. But more than that, we maintain them to the highest standards of safety. And when 37% of workplace injuries are caused by ‘slip, trip and fall’ accidents, this is a vital consideration.

Window Cleaning

If windows are the ‘eyes’ of a building, the importance of keeping them clear and bright cannot be exaggerated. If you can’t be bothered to keep your windows clean, how much care and attention can a potential customer expect from your business? Indeed, in 1982, social scientists James Wilson and George Kelling presented their Broken Windows Theory, proposing a direct link between the condition of windows and criminal behavior!

Grounds Maintenance

Before your customers or workers reach your front door, they must pass through your grounds or surrounding areas.  Neglected lawns, weed infested borders, leaf-strewn pathways, litter and general detritus – all will combine to create an unfavorable impression before you’ve even had a chance to pitch your business.

At Glenn, we are skilled in keeping our clients’ environs tidy and attractive throughout the year.

Specialist Cleaning

We are particularly experienced in the cleaning of computer rooms and IT equipment – work that requires particular knowledge and a delicate touch.

Premises in which food is prepared or consumed also demand specific considerations, and we have developed training and protocols that have made us experts in the field.

We regularly perform hygienic deep-cleans in the kitchens of commercial, industrial and retail premises, including the cleaning of internal kitchen ventilation ducts to a standard that meets TR19 fire insurance regulations.
