Commercial Cleaning Services Basics
If you want to make a good impression on your employees and visitors to your office, a commercial cleaning service can make your floors sparkle and your carpets look as good as new.
Commercial cleaning companies can visit your office as often as you like, even several times a day, to perform a variety of tasks. The right commercial cleaning service can handle daily janitorial services such as trash removal and restroom maintenance, or more intensive office cleaning such as stripping and waxing floors or washing external windows.
Office cleaning companies can provide services appropriate for any business and any sized budget. Smaller companies with 10-50 employees may only need the occasional trash pickup or vacuuming a few nights a week. A larger company with 50 or more employees, or several locations, will need daily janitorial service. In some cases, large companies may even require porters to clean bathrooms and maintain common areas during the workday and then a night crew for more thorough cleaning services.
When setting up commercial cleaning services, find out if they require a contract or if you can use them on an "as needed basis." Many cleaning companies use contracts to outline the costs, number of visits, and detailed descriptions of the services offered. Also, having a contracted cleaning service is essential if you're looking for specialty services like stripping, waxing, or external building cleaning.
The most important thing to look for in a cleaning service is reliability. You will be allowing strangers into your office — often after employees have gone home — where they have access to your equipment and confidential information. Check references before agreeing to work with any office cleaning company. You also might want to look into a security system to act as an "extra pair of eyes" when the office cleaning service is at work.
