How One Grade A Office Reduced Sick Days and Boosted Confidence with Antimicrobial Cleaning
When a leading finance firm in a Grade A office building started noticing a spike in sick days — even with regular cleaning or disinfectant in place — they knew something had to change. Despite their spotless workspace, employees were still catching seasonal bugs and clients were questioning shared spaces.
This is where Speco 30 Days Daily Protection antimicrobial cleaning with disinfectant made all the difference.
Here’s how our team helped this high-end office space take their cleaning practices to the next level, reducing illness, boosting employee morale, and ultimately enhancing their company’s image in the process.
The Problem: Sick Days and the Hidden Threats of Standard Cleaning
For many businesses, cleanliness is a top priority — and it should be. But the reality is that traditional cleaning methods are only skin-deep. They’re great for removing dust and dirt, but they don’t eliminate the microscopic bacteria and viruses that spread easily in high-traffic office environments.
The finance firm had a routine cleaning with disinfectant schedule, but employees were still getting sick frequently. Shared spaces like break rooms, meeting areas, and even workstations weren’t as sanitary as they needed to be. The constant cycle of germs and illness was affecting productivity and leading to more sick days, which in turn led to frustration and lower employee satisfaction.
The Solution: Speco 30 Daily Protection Antimicrobial Cleaning for Long-Lasting Protection
Our team recommended a shift to antimicrobial cleaning with disinfecting — a process that uses specialized cleaning products designed to not only disinfect but also provide long-lasting protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Unlike regular cleaning, antimicrobial solutions create a barrier that continues to kill germs even after application, offering protection for up to 24 hours (and in some cases, even longer).
We focused on high-touch, high-traffic areas that are known to harbor the most germs, such as:
1. Workstations and office desks
2. Keyboards, phones and common notebook keyboard
3. Meeting room tables and chairs
4. Door handles and light switches
5. Elevator buttons and stair railings
6. Break room appliances and counters
With antimicrobial cleaning and disinfecting, these areas were treated to reduce microbial growth, not just clean the surface. This meant that the office wasn’t just cleaner — it was safer.
The Results: Fewer Sick Days and a Cleaner, Healthier Workplace
After introducing antimicrobial cleaning to the office, the company saw immediate improvements:
1. A reduction in sick days: Within just a few weeks, employees reported fewer instances of illness, and the company saw a measurable decrease in absenteeism.
2. Boosted employee confidence: Knowing that the office space was proactively cleaned with antimicrobial solutions made employees feel safer and more comfortable in shared areas. This led to a noticeable improvement in morale and overall productivity.
3. Client satisfaction: Clients who visited the office noticed the difference too. The clean, fresh environment not only left a positive impression but also reassured them that the company prioritized health and safety — a huge benefit in today’s health-conscious world.
4. Long-term cost savings: Fewer sick days meant fewer productivity losses, ultimately saving the company money. By reducing the spread of germs and illness, antimicrobial cleaning contributed to a healthier bottom line as well.
Why Antimicrobial Cleaning Works for High-End Office Spaces
Grade A office buildings are meant to impress, and they do. But today, businesses need to do more than impress with style — they need to impress with safety and hygiene as well.
Antimicrobial cleaning adds an extra layer of protection that standard cleaning can’t provide. It’s about being proactive, not reactive. When employees and clients know their environment is cleaned with long-lasting disinfectants, they feel more confident, and the entire workspace becomes more productive and healthier.
