How Professional Cleaning Reduces Workplace Sick Days
Sick days cost more than missed hours—they disrupt workflow, slow production, and strain your team. And while workplace illness peaks during cold and flu season, the real drivers of absenteeism come from everyday high-touch surfaces and shared spaces.
Here’s where professional cleaning makes a measurable difference:
🖐 High-touch point care
Door handles, keyboards, phones, breakroom counters, and elevator buttons accumulate germs throughout the day. Targeted cleaning of these surfaces helps interrupt transmission cycles before illnesses spread.
🧼 Consistent cleaning schedules
Unlike reactive spot-cleaning, routine programs delivered by janitorial franchise businesses supported by Vanguard Cleaning Systems of the Southern Valley keep workplaces healthier week after week.
🌬️ Improved indoor air quality
Dust and allergens accumulate on vents, ledges, and carpets. Regular maintenance reduces airborne irritants that trigger symptoms mistaken for illness.
📊 Reduced cross-contamination risks
Shared workstations, conference rooms, and breakrooms are hotspots for pathogen spread. Structured cleaning minimizes the hand-to-surface contact chains that keep illness moving.
💡 Action Step: Review your absenteeism numbers over the last quarter. Are they rising during busy periods? Your cleaning frequency may not match your facility’s traffic patterns.
