DIY Sounds Cheap – But It Rarely Is

It's tempting. Ask a receptionist to vacuum once a week. Get the office manager to wipe down the kitchen. "We'll save money," they say.

However, over time, DIY office cleaning in Newark often proves to be far more expensive.

Here's why:

• Time is money. When admin staff are pulled off their actual jobs to clean, productivity drops.
• Cleaning is inconsistent. There is no plan, no structure, no accountability—just "someone doing their best."
• You'll miss compliance. COSHH, colour coding, sharps bins, risk assessments—none of that gets done properly.

 

The Real Cost of In-House Cleaning

Think about the unseen costs:

• Staff wages for time spent cleaning instead of working
• Higher risk of sickness absence from poor hygiene
• Lost hours when no one wants to clean the loos or empty the bins
• Complaints from staff or clients when the place doesn't feel clean

DIY cleaning may seem free on paper, but it quietly eats into your time, morale, and professional reputation.
