Property Value Linked to Commercial Building Cleanliness

Commercial building cleanliness can be linked to higher occupancy rates, increased lease prices and improved resale values. 

The concept isn’t complicated. The better a property is cared for, the better it looks. And that has a direct bearing on the perception of potential tenants and buyers. 

Routine cleaning and maintenance of commercial buildings aren’t just operational expenses. They are strategic investments that protect and increase property value. Commercial buildings are significant investments and maintaining their value requires more than just a prime location and modern design. 

Partnering with a professional commercial cleaning company like Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Services ensures your property remains in top condition, maximizes its appeal, safety and profitability.  

Aesthetics Matter 

Clean and well-maintained office spaces present a professional appearance that’s attractive to employees and customers. And that attracts potential buyers and tenants. 

But if regular cleaning isn’t happening, that appearance can quickly be ruined. High-traffic areas such as lobbies, conference rooms, restrooms and breakrooms are prime areas for dust, dirt and germ accumulation.  

While an in-office cleaner who can sweep and wipe down surfaces can help the building look tidy, they aren’t able to address serious long-term concerns that impact health and wellness of a building and its occupants. Sweeping and tidying up are known as surface cleaning that has minimal long-term benefit. 

Professional cleaners are able to give high-traffic areas the proper attention and create set cleaning schedules. They also train their employees the most effective way to use the chemicals, following federal guidelines and adhering to manufacturers’ “dwell times,” the time that a disinfectant must sit on a surface to kill germs – a critical component of disinfecting. 

Regular professional cleaning ensures these spaces remain spotless and promote a professional image that reflects positively on the building’s manager or company.  

A clean environment not only boosts workplace morale but also makes the property more attractive to potential tenants, helping maintain high occupancy rates. 

Health Matters 

Another key benefit of professional commercial cleaning is the improvement of indoor air quality and overall workplace health.  

Dust, allergens, mold and bacteria can accumulate in office spaces, leading to respiratory issues and potentially more sick days among employees. Poor air quality can have a significant impact on employees in a building and can lead to increased costs in mold removal if not maintained properly. 

An increase in sick days and a decrease in productivity can also negatively impact a company’s bottom line. 

For cold and flu seasons, disinfection of high touch surfaces is important to a building’s health. This means regular disinfection of desks, door handles, elevators and shared equipment is critical.  

Additionally, dirt, grime and moisture buildup can cause flooring, carpets, walls and fixtures to deteriorate. Regular deep cleaning extends the lifespan of these materials, reducing the need for costly replacements. For example, routine carpet and upholstery cleaning prevent stains and wear, while hard floor maintenance, such as stripping and waxing, protects surfaces from scratches and discoloration. 

With their experience and expertise, the professionals at Office Pride Commercial Cleaning can identify and reduce the sources of germs and bacteria in your office building to ensure the health of the people inside and potential future tenants or buyers.
