How to Choose a Cleaning Service for Your Office

Having a clean and allergy-free office environment is essential in building your company. Most office spaces will hire a professional cleaning company versus employing a full-time cleaner. This is typically more cost-efficient and easier to manage. Most companies will come in after-hours and clean the workspace while the office is closed. And while hiring a company that offers these services is easy, finding a company that is reliable in providing quality service is not. Here are some tips on how to find an office cleaning company that is right for you.

1. To Start off, you should always compare quotes. You can search for companies on google and contact them for pricing info. Most likely, they will need to come in to assess the space and discuss your needs. Look for an office cleaning company that offers free quotes. Paying for each company to give you a quote can be pricey so be sure they offer that for free. Some companies will offer free carpet cleaning once a year so look-out for little perks like that.

2. Insurance is an absolute must-have for any cleaning company. You want a cleaning company that has proper insurance to ensure that you are not liable if a worker hurts himself at your office.

3. Once you get the contract, be sure to read through it thoroughly. Most companies will want you to sign a contract that locks you in for the long-term. You need to make sure you have recourse if the service they provide is not up to your standards. I would suggest you ask for a 1-3 month trial period.

4. The experience and testimonials from other clients will tell you a lot about the quality of a company. Ask for numerous references from local clients, ideally people that you know. If the company has nothing to hide they will be happy to put you in touch with people that can tell you about their experience.

And don't forget, there is a wide range of prices that companies will offer you and cheaper is not always better for you in the long run. A good cleaning company should reliably do its job without being noticed. And if that's the case your team can focus on managing the company comfortably.
