Did you know its National Cleaning Week?

By Luxor CRM

Neither did we, that is, until we randomly stumbled upon it in a Restoration Industry forum. So what is National Cleaning Week exactly? Well, every year, during the last week of March, homeowners are encouraged to tackle the much-avoided spring cleaning. You simply set aside a task or room each day to ring in the spring season and clear out the junk that has been cluttering up your home all winter long.

The holiday, and yes it’s been deemed a holiday, is widely encouraged by Cleaning & Restoration Professionals across the globe. In particular, carpet cleaning specialists advocate the importance of having your carpets professionally cleaned to remove unwanted contaminants like dirt, dust, mold and insects. In doing so, you not only improve the appearance of your home but more importantly, your health. Carpet Cleaning is just one of many tasks you can complete during this week to create a spotless, clutter-free environment.

As we dive deeper into the Restoration & Cleaning vertical, we continually uncover the many different types of services that this industry has to offer and can contribute to making your National Cleaning Week a success. But what about businesses? How can companies of all sizes partake and make the best use of this cleaning holiday?

We thought of a few tips for businesses to help them welcome spring with a fresh start:

1. Overcome your organized chaos

Though there are many successful business people who function best when their work environment is messy, going through the buildup of business cards, paper, books, sticky notes and other random items on your desk can be surprisingly cleansing for the soul. Grab a garbage can and recycling bin and forever rid your desk of the mess. And who knows, you may be very surprised with what you find!

2. Make your business leaner and greener

It’s time to throw away the archive of paper files that you’ve been holding onto for far too long. Take the time to get your customers’ data inputted into a CRM solution for quick and easy retrieval and seamless organization. Avoid the clutter of file folders and start becoming more conscious of how your business can become more environmentally-friendly.

3. Become an automation machine

All of those tedious processes that take hours to complete can be made simpler and more efficient with the use of automation tools such as sales force automation- automates the business tasks involved in the sales cycle, or marketing automation- automates the creating and sending of mass, targeted emails. A CRM system that offers both functions would be an ideal investment and great way to solidify your business’ methods and procedures.

Happy Cleaning!
