Tips to Hire a Commercial Cleaning Company

To help you save time when it comes to sourcing a cleaning company, we’ve put together 6 top tips.

Summary:

If you’re thinking of hiring a commercial cleaning company, there are some things to consider first. Being able to trust a commercial cleaning team to maintain your workspace, sanitize high-touch surfaces, and keep your office looking presentable is key. The question is, how do you find a reputable cleaning service that’s not only local but also highly experienced?

Since there are a lot of companies that offer commercial cleaning, it can be difficult to filter out start-up businesses with little experience, from those with excellent customer services and thorough cleaning techniques.

To help you save time when it comes to sourcing a cleaning company, we’ve put together 6 top tips.

1. Ask Other Businesses for Recommendations

A good place to start your commercial cleaning search is to speak to other businesses and find out if they have previously hired any commercial cleaning companies. Recommendations from other businesses are going to save you a lot of time in the long run. Plus, you could always ask another business if you can pop by unexpectedly and watch their commercial cleaning company in action. This will give you the best opportunity to check out their services firsthand.

2. Take Your Search Online

If asking around isn’t producing any good companies, it’s time to take your search online. The beauty of search engines such as Google is that they will take your location into account when you search for a cleaning company. So, you’ll more than likely be shown results of local commercial cleaning companies rather than those in another city or state. You should also pay attention to Google reviews which can reveal a lot about a cleaning company and their customer service.

3. Set Up Interviews

Next, you’ll need to set up interviews. When you welcome a commercial cleaning company into your business, you’ll need to be able to trust them. To protect data, personal belongings, and expensive equipment, make sure your cleaning team follows a strict hiring process themselves and also vets their team. This will help build trust between your business and the cleaning team you decide to hire. Ask about their company policies, their follow-up procedure, and if they can provide references and customer reviews.

4. Gain Confidence In Licensed Cleaning Services

Accidents happen and that’s just part of life, so protect your business by hiring a licensed commercial cleaning company. Should anything go wrong, such as water damage to electronic equipment, they will have the right insurance in place to cover any loss of income. You should also have business insurance in case a cleaner was to injure themselves while on your premises.

5. Choose a Commercial Cleaning Company With Experience

We all love to give new businesses a chance, but in this case, it’s probably best to go with a commercial cleaner with experience. Unlike residential cleaning, an office environment will often involve different surfaces, desktops, screens, carpets, vinyl, wooden flooring, etc. To get excellent results every time, opt for an experienced commercial cleaning company.

6. Look Out for Affordable Quotes

You can eliminate a wide range of commercial cleaners by using the tips mentioned above, which should leave you with just a few to choose from. Now you can ask for quotes and compare each commercial cleaning company, in relation to their experience, range of services and fees.
