Clean and Prosperous: How Cleanliness Means More Productivity and Increased Roi for Your Business

Cleaning is an important and interesting subject. Think about it. Would you shop in a store that is filthy? Would you eat in a restaurant infested with cockroaches and with floors covered in garbage? Would you want to work in an environment so dirty that it’s hazardous to your health?Clients and the public use cleanliness as one way to evaluate how well a business is succeeding. When I shop in a grocery store, I expect that the floors are swept, the shelves are clean, and the produce isn’t covered with insects or filth. A dirty store means the food isn’t healthy or desirable, a restaurant with insects crawling is never a good sign, and a business with clutter translates to one that is not well managed.A lack of cleanliness causes other problems and directly affects your P&L bottom line. A cluttered workplace with garbage on the floor can cause slip and fall accidents, dusty air ducts can result in a greater occurrence of illnesses and allergies in employees, and general disarray can lose business.I wrote this book to help business owners make their businesses more profitable and provide better and safer places to work by using effective cleaning processes. As you read, you’ll find out how you can save money in the long run related to cleaning and other building maintenance, and you’ll learn what policies and procedures you should put in place.
