If you’ve got your own company or you’re the person in charge of hiring a cleaner, there are a few things
that need to be considered. The hiring of a commercial cleaning company is a commitment that
shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Look for a company that knows how important the cleaning process. It would also be interesting to see
a check list of the actual cleaning procedure and if they provide one to their employees. If there is not a
physical a checklist, the actual cleaning process should explained without hesitancy. Find out when the
cleaning will take place and the length of time it will take them to do it. Discuss the regular cleaning
tasks, such as vacuuming, floors washed, dusting and trash removal then move the discussion to deep
clean work if warranted every now and then. Let the company know of your expectations.
The price you will pay a cleaning company is a huge consideration. It may depend on the type of
business to be cleaned. Is the property a regular office space with computers and desks or is it a
restaurant or medical office? The property type will definitely be a consideration to the cleaning
business when providing you their quote and putting their crew together for you. Find out if the price
you will be invoiced is hourly, weekly or monthly. Have your budget for cleaning readily available for
discussion. Things like extra bathrooms and kitchen-type areas will be taken into consideration by the
person giving you the quote.
Think about your feeling of trust. Chances are the cleaning crew will do their work when there are no
employees of yours in the office. Take the time to check their reputation. Ask fellow business owners,
get references, check Google reviews. You need the satisfactory level to be quite high. The cleaner
should also be insured and able to show proof of liability insurance. If one of their staff members gets
hurt while cleaning your place of business, it’s up to the cleaning business to take care of this. Make
sure you and the cleaning company knows this.
Be sure you are comfortable with the products used for cleaning and disinfecting. The cleaning company
and crew members need to be committed to keeping your business clean and healthy by using products
that are environmentally friendly. Their equipment should also be clean and reliable. A broken piece of
equipment is not your issue.
Your business is a reflection of you so you should a hire a cleaner that treats your space as their own.
Take the time to think of your visitors as well as yourself. A clean business make a good impression to
your staff and visitors.
