A CLEAN OFFICE AND OFFICE KITCHEN CREATES A GOOD IMPRESSION FOR CLIENTS
In your office, do you allow customers and clients to go get coffee or water? If not, is your kitchen in their line of sight at all? Do you want them seeing a dirty or messy kitchen?

A poster about a fragrance-free workplace
Perfume and fragrances in the workplace can cause real, sometimes even serious problems to workers, employers, and even clients who are sensitive or allergic.
Posting a memo like the one above can help create an atmosphere of awareness and caring.
Not everyone is aware of how scents can affect others, and promoting clean, fragrance-free air is a great way to help everyone in the office.
Encouraging workers with written memos, posters, and videos to take office cleanliness seriously is a great way to boost awareness and cleanliness in the office.
However, unless your staff has lots of extra time to clean, there is only so much they can do while getting their own work done. A commercial cleaner like Kitchener Clean can help ensure your office kitchen is clean, safe, and sanitary so your workers can do their part but don't have to worry!
