The first impression people often get of your business is the reception area. A clean and tidy reception can help your clients to feel welcome and relaxed. Your reception will give your clients an idea of how your business runs. This is important if you wish to impress from day one and then retain clients for months or years to come.

If your reception isn't as clean or impressive as you'd like it to be, the following tips will give you some idea of how you can improve the situation and use it to your advantage.

Maximise the lighting with floor polishing

A dull floor won't make much of an impression on a new client. In fact, if your flooring is in poor condition, your image will suffer considerably. Polish your floors regularly to remove scuff marks and stains. And remember too that a polished floor reflects light. This means that your floors can capture the natural light from the outdoors and breathe life into your reception.

You can get the best results by hiring cleaners who utilise floor polishers to polish your flooring. These machines don't damage flooring and are unmatched in terms of their ability to polish flooring.

Clean your windows regularly

Windows are just as important as your floors, if not more important. Dirty windows will prevent light from entering your office reception and make it appear dingy and murky. Hire cleaners to keep your windows clean at all times.

Keep the area smelling fresh

As well as sight, you have to consider smell too. Stale smells can make a person turn around and go back the way they came. Stale smells tend to cling to furniture, flooring and walls, so be sure to keep these surfaces clean. Hiring cleaners to clean these areas each morning or evening will ensure that stale smells never become a problem.

Keep clutter to a minimum

Clutter gives an impression of disorganisation and unprofessionalism. And clutter will serve to make your clients uncomfortable as they wait in your reception. Keep furniture to a minimum, don't let magazines pile up, and keep the entryway clear of obstacles.  

Add some vibrant plants

By adding some green and vibrant plants to your reception, you can show clients that you care about their well-being. But make sure you keep your plants fed and watered so that they always look vibrant and green.

Provide waste bins

Provide waste bins so that your clients can dispose of rubbish as they enter your reception. And ensure that you keep your waste bins clean, otherwise, they will begin to smell bad and even attract pests.

If you need help with these or other tasks, contact office cleaning services. They can do these things for you.
