How Cleaning Services Improve Safety and Productivity

For large facilities, cleanliness is more than just looking good—it’s essential for safety, smooth operations, and staff morale. If your janitorial team misses the mark, your entire facility feels it.

At McLemore Building Maintenance, we serve schools, warehouses, and industrial sites over 250,000 square feet. We’ve seen how the right cleaning partner can make a real difference—not just in appearance, but in daily performance.

Here’s how professional cleaning services help improve both safety and productivity.

1. A Clean Facility Is a Safer Facility

Slips, falls, and contamination issues are often the result of poor cleaning habits. Dust buildup near machinery, wet floors, or overflowing trash can all lead to serious accidents.

That’s why safety is built into every part of our service:

  • We follow OSHA guidelines on every site.

  • Our team uses proper PPE and equipment training.

  • Supervisors oversee each shift to make sure nothing gets missed.

Every McLemore cleaner is a W2 employee—not a subcontractor—so they’re trained, reliable, and focused on safety. You don’t have to wonder who’s showing up or whether they know the job. We take that off your plate.

2. Fewer Sick Days Mean Higher Productivity

Unclean workspaces can lead to more illnesses. Shared surfaces, restrooms, and breakrooms spread germs quickly if they’re not cleaned properly.

We target high-touch areas daily and offer disinfection support during flu season or outbreaks. This matters—one of our distribution clients saw a 77% drop in staff absences after bringing us on.

Healthier teams mean better attendance. That means your shifts stay on track, your students stay in class, and your facility stays productive.

3. You Stop Wasting Time Managing the Cleaning Crew

If you're chasing your cleaning vendor every week—or worse, handling tasks yourself—that’s a red flag.

With McLemore, you get:

  • A dedicated on-site supervisor for daily oversight

  • A fixed monthly rate—no surprise charges

  • Shift-aligned staffing that fits your exact schedule

  • Digital inspections and real-time reports

We do what we say, and we prove it with data. Our goal is simple: help you focus on your job, not ours.

4. Smooth Transitions Without Disruption

Switching cleaning vendors can be stressful. You don’t want service gaps, staff confusion, or pressure from leadership if something goes wrong.

That’s why we offer a structured 30/60/90-day transition plan. It includes:

  • Site walkthroughs

  • Shift planning

  • Staff retention reviews

  • Safety training and LMS rollout

  • Backup staff if needed

We’ve handled transitions for schools with 10+ campuses and for facilities with over a million square feet. Our team knows how to make changes smoothly—with no disruption to your day-to-day.

5. A Clean Building Builds Trust

Your facility says a lot about how your organization operates. Clean floors, stocked restrooms, and tidy entryways show you care—and that you’re in control.

When your site is always clean, your team notices. Visitors notice. Executives notice.

One school district even reported saving enough on cleaning to hire three new teachers—without sacrificing quality.

What You Gain with a Professional Partner

Here’s what you can expect when cleaning is done right:

  • Fewer accidents and injuries

  • Better attendance and morale

  • Fewer complaints and emergencies

  • A cleaner, safer, and more productive workplace

And best of all—you don’t have to manage it. We take ownership, stay accountable, and deliver consistent results.
