Hiring a professional commercial cleaning service has many benefits for your workplace, employees and business. A clean workspace makes a strong first impression, reduces the spread of sickness, improves air quality, boosts office morale and increases productivity. Did you know that commercial cleaners can also save you time and money? The following are some ways a commercial cleaning service aids you in reducing costs and easing the demands on your time.

Save Time:

  • No need to remind staff to clean: Without commercial cleaners, you’ll constantly need to remind employees to take out the trash, dust, sweep, mop and sanitize. This takes time from your and their scheduled duties and brings no value to your company. A professional commercial cleaning company allows you and your workers to focus on what really matters. Hiring a professional cleaning team saves everyone time to do the essential work that needs attention.

  • No need to spend time purchasing supplies and products: Maintaining a stock of cleaning supplies and tools takes time. A professional cleaning company saves you the hassle of sourcing and storing equipment and supplies.

  • No loss of free time: As an employer, you may be scrambling to clean your workspace after finishing your duties, leaving you less free time to recharge and focus on your personal life. A commercial cleaner reduces the time you spend cleaning and makes sure you have a sanitary environment. 

Save Money:

  • Save money on flooring, carpets and office equipment: If your professional cleaning service is thorough, you’ll reap the benefits of longer-lasting furniture, floors, carpets, and equipment. There will be less need to repair and/or replace items resulting in cost savings for your company.

  • Save money on cleaning supplies, products and equipment/tools: A professional cleaning company provides their own equipment, products and supplies, saving you money in the long run.

  • Save money through reduced sick days: A safe, clean and sanitized work environment reduces the number of sick days, saving you money. 

  • Make money through improved productivity: A clean workplace increases productivity, increasing your profits.

  • Save money through prevention: Save money by preventing unforeseen damages caused by mould outbreaks and other hidden threats.

Finding the Right Cleaning Company

If hiring a commercial cleaning company saves time and money, most businesses are onboard! But how do you choose the best cleaning company for your situation? How do you ensure that you hire an efficient, fair and competent company?

  • Ask for references: Ask prospective companies for references. Check company websites, read online reviews and talk to other business owners who have used their services. 

  • Check for liability Insurance: Being insured means that the commercial cleaning company has transferred risks to a third party through the purchase of an insurance product. This can include worker’s compensation, general liability insurance and/or property insurance. In the event that someone gets injured on the job, there is money in place to pay for any claims or benefits they may be entitled to make or have. If the cleaning company doesn't have the appropriate insurance measures in place, any claims that an employee makes will be filed against your business’s insurance and could cause your premiums to rise or force you to pay out of pocket. A reputable cleaning company will carry liability insurance. This protects your business in case of an accident or mishap. Ask prospective companies for evidence of insurance coverage. 

  • Hire a bonded company: A bonding company holds money that has been secured from the cleaning company. They act as a neutral third party to settle disputes between the cleaning company and you (their client). If damage occurs, you can file a claim and receive compensation from the surety that pays out your claim after they investigate and agree that you should be compensated. The cleaning company would repay this claim to the surety. A business that is bonded indicates that it’s trustworthy and financially able to meet any requirements should it inadvertently damage your property or fail to complete the contract. Ask prospective companies if they are bonded.

  • Explore their cleaning process: Have prospective cleaning companies explain their process for cleaning commercial spaces. Do they have established steps for cleaning and sanitizing a building? What equipment and cleaning products do they use? Can you request eco-friendly/green cleaning protocols?

  • Choose a local company: By choosing a local company you ensure regular service and ease of access in case of emergencies.

Hiring a commercial cleaning company lets you stop and take a breath! Reduce your task list, free up your time and relieve the stress on employees by letting commercial cleaners maintain your space. Spending money on a professional cleaning service actually saves you money! Increased longevity of floors/carpet/equipment, improved productivity, reduced costs of cleaning supplies/products/tools, reduced sick days and prevention of problems all decrease your expenditures. Save time, money and effort by hiring a professional commercial cleaner.
