Commercial Cleaning Hiring Tips

If you are looking for a commercial cleaning company for your business then it helps to know before you start making phone calls that this industry is broken down into large national cleaning companies and smaller companies that are most often family run businesses. Both types of businesses have their advantages. The former can offer you the latest and most modern equipment which will get the work done as quickly and as easily as possible. However large national companies may be too much for smaller sized businesses. The latter can offer you one-on-one attention but may work with older cleaning equipment and may not be able to do some of the specific jobs that your business requires. 

Before you can decide which type of commercial cleaning company is right for your business you need to consider what your needs are. Sit down and write up a list. You will be glad you did when the time comes to speak with each individual commercial cleaning company. Decide what type of cleaning you require and how often you will require the services. Figure out what your budget is and when you need the cleaning company to start. 

It is smart to meet with multiple cleaning providers to decide which one has the most to offer your business. Compare the services that they both offer and the costs. Once you have that information in hand then you will be able to make the most appropriate choice. 

There are some other things that you must think about when it comes to choosing the most suitable commercial cleaning company for your business. Find out what the hiring practices of the cleaning provider are. Remember that the people who will have the keys to your business will be strangers to you which is why it is essential that you are able to put your faith in the company you hire to clean for you. You need to find out if they do background checks on their staff members and how they go about interviewing prospective employees. 

You need peace of mind when it comes to hiring a commercial cleaning company. This peace of mind comes from knowing with absolute certainty that your business and all of its contents is protected from any type of damage that might occur or from theft. To know this for sure you need to investigate the commercial cleaner’s insurance and bond certification to make sure everything is as it should be. You should also ask the representative from the company that you speak to if they can show you proof that they have money set aside in an escrow account in the event that they do not provide you with the services (or quality of service) that they promised you. 

Another thing you might wish to do before you hire a commercial service is to check them out with the Better Business Bureau. This will let you know if a cleaning organization has a good record of service and a good reputation. 

Make sure you look over the cleaning contract very carefully. Do not give it a cursory glance but be thorough in your inspection. Make sure that all of the information is correct and that the terms of the agreement are in there.
