How to Choose a Cleaning Service
A business is where we spend a significant amount of our waking hours. Making it an inviting environment is essential to maintain productivity, cohesion, and health. Some businesses choose to handle all their needs in-house, but often, hiring out cleaning services can bring tremendous advantages. Here’s why.
Tips & Tricks When Choosing a Cleaning Service
When you choose a professional cleaning company, they are experts in their field and know the best practices, products, and technologies to guarantee the best, most positive impact on your business. When vetting potential providers, be sure to ask about the following factors.
What Are Their Technology and Tools Like?
When your business hires a professional cleaning company, you also gain access to all the latest tools and technologies on the market. These will include an array of implements the average business is unlikely to have at its disposal, from commercial-grade carpet cleaners to floor buffers.
With these, the professional service can perform a more thorough cleaning of your working space.
Another essential technology that a professional cleaning service can furnish is electrostatic disinfection. This technology charges the liquid cleaning material electrostatically, which helps it to spray in a more even fashion, so it reaches the most difficult and hard-to-reach places.
What Cleaning Products Are Used?
These various tools and procedures would not be effective without the correct commercial cleaning products. That’s why every good cleaning service recognizes that a product should not only clean well, but also not pose any threat to your health.
That being so, the products utilized are often green and eco-friendly cleaning products. By using them, your provider helps to ensure that your environment not only looks clean, but is healthy for your body and the environment as well. Such practices are of utmost importance because we live in an increasingly toxic environment. The NIH has found that a toxic environment can lead to negative cognitive functions for human beings that spend a large amount of their time in it.
Do They Have Day Porter Options?
Some businesses may fear that if they hire a professional cleaning service for their facilities, it may not provide all the services they seek. However, cleaning companies can propose a wide range of services that will work with your firm to cover all your cleaning needs.
One of our more popular services for large businesses that require more frequent attention are our day porter services. These individuals appear on-site as often as you need them and work with you and your employees to maintain a higher level of cleanliness at your business.
From taking out the trash, tidying up, delivering packages, and responding to service calls—-all this in addition to the usual cleaning duties of vacuuming, mopping, and disinfecting—-a day porter performs a broad array of essential duties.
What’s Their Pricing Model?
Often, the biggest question when choosing a cleaning service is “how can I price janitorial services?” Well good news, you don’t have to. Cleaning companies provide a consultation and estimation to assess the needs of your firm. From there, they will make a determination of what would best meet your needs. It’s recommended that you study these estimates and compare the caliber of the tools and products as well as the customer service provided
Time for a Business Deep Clean?
If you’re looking to engage the many benefits a cleaning service can provide, most experts recommend you start by having your premises deep cleaned. This will ensure your space achieves a peak level of cleanliness, so it’s well prepared for management of routine cleanings thereafter.
How Does a Cleaning Company Benefit Your Business?
The technology, tools, and lineup of services a professional cleaning company can bring to your business make it unnecessary for you to invest in these costly tools yourself. This frees your company to spend its funds on more effective revenue-generating tools. In addition to forgoing certain fiscal outlays, by using a cleaning company, your firm will reap many other rewards.
Increased Productivity
A dirty and cluttered space can overwhelm the mind and make employees more sluggish and less able to complete tasks. A cluttered space may also be too stimulating, making it difficult to work in a hectic and distracting environment.
A routine corporate office cleaning can lessen these additional stressors and increase the productivity of your company. If you focus on maintaining a clean space for your employees, you will increase their ability to work in a high-stress environment, as well as raise their brains’ ability to solve problems and be creative.
By focusing on the basic needs of the company’s day-to-day management, your high-caliber employees will be able to better focus on your company’s goals and address your clients’ needs.
This higher productivity can result in an increase in revenue over the long term, because you have concentrated on the well-being of your team. Your workers are likely to appreciate the tidy and comfortable environment you have created, and that may boost your employee retention. That in turn will cut down on training and enable you to focus even further on business growth.
Increased Health
A clean environment can keep the toxins and germs in your facilities to a minimum. By using clean products, you are reducing and potentially preventing any toxin overload that might occur.
Symptoms of toxin overload include “diarrhea, sneezing or coughing fits, excessive urination, sore throat, heartburn, nasal congestion or runny nose (from mucus overproduction), or vomiting.” These symptoms result from your body attempting to purge the poisons from itself.
As a preventive measure, routine cleanings can prevent the spread of illness and disease. A clean environment will also cut down on the microorganisms in the air that can spread further and cause contagion.
A clean working environment cuts down on the number of sick days among your employees, which means higher productivity in the long run.
