The Hidden Health Risks of a Dirty Office

Why Professional Cleaning Is Essential for a Healthy, Productive Workplace

Most businesses understand the value of a clean workplace—but not all realise just how much a dirty one can cost. From rising sick days to low morale and even pest issues, a lack of professional cleaning can quietly affect your team’s health and your company’s performance.

Here are some hidden health risks to watch for—and how Denma Cleaning Services can help your business stay one step ahead.

1. Germs Spread Fast in Shared Spaces

From keyboards and phones to door handles and communal kitchens, high-touch surfaces in offices can harbour more bacteria than a toilet seat. Without regular, professional cleaning, these areas can become hotspots for viruses and infections.

Illnesses like colds, flu, and stomach bugs spread rapidly in shared environments, leading to increased sick days and reduced productivity. Our office cleaning services in Eastbourne are designed to disinfect key areas daily, preventing the spread of germs before they become a problem.

2. Dust and Poor Air Quality Cause Ongoing Health Issues

You might not notice the dust in your vents or on skirting boards, but your team will—especially those with allergies or asthma. Poor indoor air quality can lead to headaches, fatigue, and breathing issues.

Denma’s team uses professional tools to remove dust from every corner of your workplace. From office cleaning to jet washing external entrances, we help keep your environment clean inside and out.

3. Unclean Kitchens and Bins Invite Pests

Leftover food, dirty mugs, and overflowing bins can attract all sorts of pests—especially in warm environments like pubs, break rooms, or commercial units.

That’s why we can include kitchen cleans, bin emptying, and pest control services with our cleaning contracts. We can even install pest proofing solutions to prevent future issues.

4. Dirty Toilets Lower Morale and Spread Germs

Washrooms are one of the most common staff complaints. If they’re not kept clean, they can quickly become a hygiene risk and a serious morale killer.

At Denma, we offer full washroom cleaning as part of our routine service and can supply all your janitorial products, whether you're a business or a member of the public.

5. Clutter and Grime = Stress and Low Productivity

A messy or unclean space doesn’t just look bad—it can make people feel overwhelmed and stressed. If you’re asking your team to clean their own space, it’s also time taken away from their actual job.

We take care of everything from daily cleans to specialist services like deep kitchen  cleans, window cleaning, and even waste removal —so your team can focus on what they do best.
