With the arrival of fall comes the inevitable uptick in colds, flu, and other seasonal illnesses. These sicknesses can significantly impact productivity, customer satisfaction, and overall business operations. In this crucial time, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is not just beneficial—it’s essential. Learn how National Facility Contractors’ (NFC) janitorial services can help keep your workplace safe and healthy, combating the rise of germs that come with the cooler months.
The Rise of Seasonal Sicknesses
Statistically, the fall and winter months see a significant increase in respiratory illnesses. According to the CDC, influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Moreover, with people spending more time indoors, the probability of transmitting viruses and bacteria significantly escalates, affecting both employees and customers. Facilities that do not uphold stringent cleaning standards may see higher rates of absenteeism and decreased productivity due to illness.
The Role of Professional Cleaning in Preventing Illness
Regular and thorough cleaning is a critical line of defense against the spread of disease. Here are a few key stats and facts that highlight the importance of effective cleaning:
- The typical desk contains 400 times more germs than a toilet seat, making office environments hotspots for the spread of viruses (University of Arizona study).
- Proper cleaning can reduce absenteeism by up to 46% by significantly lowering the spread of respiratory illnesses (ISSA).
- Disinfecting surfaces in the workplace can decrease the spread of viruses by up to 80%. (Science Direct)
