How To Hire Commercial Cleaning Services

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll teach you exactly how to go through the commercial cleaning service hiring process. 

Let’s get started.

Step 1: Determine Your Cleaning Needs

When hiring commercial cleaning services, you’ll first need to determine your cleaning needs. 

Are you looking for a deep cleaning? Or are you looking for a routine cleaning made every week? 

These are the questions to ask yourself when in the hiring process. To find a commercial cleaning service right for your business, it is critical to determine your cleaning needs. 

For routine cleaning to have a significant effect, an initial deep cleaning is recommended to remove any dirt and germs. And so that the sanitation component of the cleaning will have the desired effect and bring the best results. 

Step 2: Source Your Cleaners

Before sourcing your own cleaning service for your office space, we recommend to verify with your facility maintenance manager that your office is permitted to source external cleaning services. 

Step 3: Ask Questions to Potential Providers

To ensure quality service, we recommend the following questions to be asked when speaking to potential providers.

Are you insured?

Any commercial cleaning company you decide to go with should have the appropriate insurance your state’s regulations require. 

While you might save some money hiring an uninsured cleaning company, the cost of a potential accident could far outweigh anything you might have saved. 

Knowing a company is covered just in case something goes wrong should put your mind at ease.

How do you protect your staff?

The provider should have no trouble explaining their plan to ensure the health and safety of their cleaning crew. 

What does your deep clean consist of?

A deep clean should include thoroughly cleaning the area of any dirt before using any disinfectant products. 

Which disinfectant methods do you plan to use?

The provider should have a clear understanding of the latest disinfectant methods and be able to explain their process to you.

How long have you been in business?

It’s best to go with a cleaning company that has experience. More experience generally leads to an increase in customer satisfaction and lessens the risk of something going wrong.

Do you have an employee training program?

Commercial cleaning services should always have a training program to ensure their new employees know how to properly clean to the industry’s standards. 

Asking these questions will help you find the cleaning service that will do their job properly and professionally.
