There are many well-known benefits of maintaining a clean environment in commercial buildings. Some of the more important advantages include:
Ultimately, a commercial space's appearance and air quality have a significant impact on a company's success. That means that facility managers, cleaning crews and employees must work together to keep spaces clean and hygienic.
When assessing the cleanliness of a commercial space, the first thing most people consider is the presence or absence of physical indicators like dust, dirt, carpet stains, cobwebs, etc. Those certainly are important factors in how clean a building or a particular unit is.
However, visible cleanliness is only part of the equation. You must also consider how clean the air is, as that plays an important role in the overall hygiene of a space, even if occupants and visitors can't see it and therefore are not as aware of it.
Is the air free of harmful particles? Does it have a neutral scent, or is there a detectable unpleasant odor? Does the air have the right humidity level-one high enough that it keeps skin from feeling dry and itchy but low enough that the space doesn't make skin and surfaces feel damp or clammy?
Good indoor air quality doesn't happen by chance. It takes the right infrastructure, ongoing monitoring and maintenance, as well as following air quality best practices. This includes:
Clean air and clean surfaces go hand-in-hand. The most effective air filtering systems can't provide optimal air quality if the floors, ceilings, walls and work surfaces in a space aren't kept clean. Dirty surfaces essentially become a "launchpad" for airborne contaminants.
To maximize the overall cleanliness in your commercial building, you should:
As a facility manager, a big part of your job is keeping occupants comfortable and happy. However, there are other benefits of maintaining good air quality and facility cleanliness. One is that keeping your spaces-and your HVAC system-clean helps you maintain the overall value of the building. Long-term neglect can slowly degrade your space and systems, creating a negative impression for potential purchasers down the road.
The same applies in the short term to tenants. If a company is choosing between your building and another comparable space, and one suite is clean and comfortable while the other is less so, you know which one they will select.
So, while it takes time, effort and capital to maintain good air quality and keep a building clean and inviting, it is an investment that pays off many times over through the years.
