Bacteria may be microscopic, but the impact on your workplace is anything but small. They’re invisible to the eye, but they move fast across desks, doorknobs, keyboards, and breakroom counters. At UMG Cleaning, we fight what you can’t see before it hurts your team. Read on and connect with us to learn more about commercial cleaning for healthy businesses.
How Commercial Cleaning Prevents Health Issues in the Workplace
Shared Touchpoints
Workplace cleanliness starts with the places people touch the most. Phones, fridge handles, and elevator buttons are all spots that pass hands more than you think. Regular cleaning targets these high-traffic areas before germs get the chance to stick around.
Cut Down on Sick Days
When shared surfaces aren’t cleaned regularly, bacteria and viruses linger. One sick employee can turn into five. A clean environment helps reduce exposure, keeping your team healthier—and at work—through every season. Regular commercial cleaning helps prevent workplace illnesses before they start making the rounds.
Protect Air Quality
Though it can look like dust and grime just sit there, they are constantly circulating throughout your environment. Vents, carpets, and neglected corners contribute to poor air quality, especially in older buildings. Routine cleaning helps keep dust and allergens out of the air, which means fewer headaches, less sneezing, and easier breathing on the job.
Cleaner Breakrooms = Safer Meals
Lunches shouldn’t come with a side of germs. Crumbs in the microwave, sticky fridge handles, and dirty counters can lead to contamination. Keeping break areas clean keeps food safer while also keeping your staff out of the doctor’s office.
Germs don’t need an invitation. They spread fast, and they don’t take a day off. At UMG Cleaning, we stay ahead of them so your team doesn’t have to. If workplace cleanliness is starting to slide, it’s time to push back. Let’s tackle the small stuff before it becomes a big problem.
