In a professional setting, maintaining a clean and orderly working space is crucial to good first impressions, so choosing the right commercial janitorial services is an important decision to make. Given that it’s your premises, it can also be a personal decision, which is why you need to hold the company to a high standard. Here’s a list to consider when choosing which company to hire:
1. Check reviews
Look online at the various cleaning services offered in your area, and check for online reviews to get a sense of the professionalism of the company in question. Businesses will often go through multiple different office cleaning services so pay special attention to their reviews, as that usually leads to referrals towards a specific company.
2. Ask how long they have been in business
Generally, companies that have been around longer tend to be the better choice. That’s not to say younger companies offer inferior services, but veteran companies have been around long enough to gain the necessary experience to adjust their methods accordingly so that they become more efficient and profitable for their owners. Customer satisfaction is critical to veteran companies because once an image has been tarnished, it’s difficult to re-establish that reputation.
3. Do they have proper insurance?
If any damage should occur to your property or possessions during the cleaning process, the company’s liability insurance will cover you for your losses. Being a bonded and insured company goes a long way to showing customers the steps they are willing to take to protect you and their business.
The cleaning services company must also be covered under Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and it is in your best interest to ask for a Clearance Certificate. Should any of the cleaning personnel be injured while at your premises, your company could be liable if the cleaning services company has not provided that coverage for its employees.
4. Pricing
Before the cleaning company gives you a quote, a representative should stop by your premise and walk around to get an idea of the work to be done. Prices are based on the amount of work required, square footage of the location, and the frequency of the services needed.
5. The services they provide
Make sure that the cleaning company that you hire provides the full list of services you require, as some companies will not, and many are specialized only for certain areas of cleaning. You may also want to confirm that the company will provide their own cleaning materials and if it’s a priority, that their products and methods are environmentally friendly. To have the most effective results, make sure to have a scheduled maintenance, either daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or yearly.
