In today’s fast-paced business world, maintaining a productive and healthy workforce is a top priority. For companies across New Jersey, that means going beyond just paying attention to salaries and benefits. One often overlooked but incredibly impactful strategy? Investing in professional commercial cleaning services.
Clean workplaces aren’t just visually appealing—they directly affect employee health, morale, and attendance. With rising concerns about viruses, allergens, and overall wellness, businesses are increasingly taking a health-first approach to their facilities. And in cities like Bloomfield, Montclair, Clifton, and Newark, Royal Cleaning is helping companies do just that.
This post explores how professional cleaning can reduce employee sick days, improve productivity, and create healthier office environments throughout Northern New Jersey.
Why Workplace Cleanliness Matters More Than Ever
The COVID-19 pandemic forever changed how we think about hygiene in shared spaces. Even in a post-pandemic environment, the heightened awareness of germs and cleanliness remains. Today’s employees expect more from their employers:
- Regular disinfection of high-touch surfaces
- Cleaner breakrooms and kitchens
- Sanitized restrooms with fully stocked supplies
- Better indoor air quality
According to a study by ISSA (International Sanitary Supply Association), improved cleaning protocols can reduce absenteeism by up to 46%. That’s not just a health benefit—it’s a productivity and profitability booster.
The Hidden Cost of Sick Days in the Workplace
A single sick employee can affect an entire department. When illness spreads through a workplace, it leads to:
- Increased absenteeism
- Decreased morale
- Disrupted project timelines
- Reduced overall output
And let’s not forget the financial toll. According to the CDC, productivity losses linked to absenteeism cost U.S. employers $1,685 per employee annually.
With so much at stake, it makes sense that New Jersey businesses are turning to expert commercial cleaners to help maintain healthier work environments.
How Commercial Cleaning Reduces Sick Days
At Royal Cleaning, we specialize in creating health-first workplaces. Here’s how our services contribute directly to reducing sick days:
1. Disinfecting High-Touch Surfaces
From elevator buttons and door handles to shared keyboards and conference tables, high-touch areas are hot spots for germ transmission. Our teams clean and disinfect these surfaces daily using EPA-registered products.
2. Restroom Sanitation
Poor restroom hygiene is a breeding ground for bacteria. We provide daily cleaning, disinfecting, and supply replenishment to ensure a safe and pleasant experience.
3. Improved Indoor Air Quality
Dust, pollen, mold spores, and chemical residue can all negatively impact indoor air. We use HEPA-filter vacuums and microfiber dusters to trap and remove airborne particles, creating a safer breathing environment.
4. Breakroom & Kitchen Cleaning
Food prep and eating areas are often overlooked but highly vulnerable to bacteria buildup. We clean and sanitize counters, sinks, appliances, and tables to limit cross-contamination.
5. Customized Cleaning Schedules
We work with each client to develop a plan that suits their specific workplace size, traffic levels, and business hours. Daily, weekly, and deep cleaning options are available.
Industry-Wide Benefits of Health-First Cleaning
A clean and hygienic workspace helps every industry, but it’s particularly important for:
- Healthcare clinics and medical offices where patient safety and infection control are essential
- Law firms and corporate offices where consistent operations and appearance matter
- Retail stores and showrooms where cleanliness affects customer trust
- Call centers and co-working spaces where shared equipment is common
- Warehouses and logistics hubs where large teams work in close proximity
Royal Cleaning adapts our services to the unique needs of each industry while keeping the focus on health and safety.
