It is important to have a clean workplace as it is crucial for health and safety. With the increase in incidence of work hazards when employees work in a messy place, employers have the responsibility to provide a safer environment for their workers. Having a cleaner office decreases the chances of your employees getting ill and will keep them healthy and productive.

According to Kimberly-Clark, there are 20,951 germs per square inch in a pantry of an office. If you do not have an in-house janitor team or have not hired full-time or part-time services of commercial cleaning services in Singapore, this immense number of germs will affect the health of your employees.
