Before letting someone into your business. Protect your property,
employees, and investment with professional cleaning standards.
The cleaning industry is one of the few unregulated industries, making it easy to get into.
Learn how to protect your business, property, and employees by making informed decisions.
If you've been thinking of hiring a commercial cleaning service, this guide will show you how to avoid many of the common mistakes property owners and managers make. Because there is little assurance that you are getting a truly "professional" commercial cleaning service, there are 5 things you should know before letting a janitorial worker into your business.
You may be thinking about hiring a cleaning company that offers the lowest price, which at first seems great because it will save you money. What you may not realize though, is there are commercial cleaning companies who pay their workers illegally because they classify them as "sub-contractors". This gives them a cost advantage over professional cleaning companies who hire their workers as employees, following IRS guidelines.
When a company hires a worker as a sub-contractor, the employee is expected to carry the tax burden normally paid by an employer, including employment taxes, Social Security taxes, Medicare, and Unemployment taxes. The problem is, 99% of these workers do not even know they are responsible for these expenses.
Cleaning companies who hire workers illegally have questionable ethics at best and any reputable building owner or manager would want to steer clear of them.
Never hire a cleaning company that does not have proper insurance coverage.
Protect your business and property with these essential requirements.
Protects your business and property in case of damage during cleaning operations
Provides security against theft or dishonest acts by cleaning personnel
Covers injuries to cleaners while they are working on your property
Every reputable company will happily provide certificates upon request
Ask the cleaning company for proof of insurance. They can request their insurance company to fax, email, or mail a certificate of insurance to you. This will give you peace of mind every time your business is cleaned.
It is important that you have a face-to-face interview and walk-through with the cleaning company. Take note of their appearance, vehicle cleanliness, and professionalism. Are they gathering information, taking notes, measuring and asking questions?
The cleaning company needs to see the different types of surfaces they will be cleaning and their condition. They need to know how to clean surfaces such as marble or granite floors and countertops, because not knowing how can lead to costly property damage.
Is it formatted professionally? Are there misspellings? Their attention to detail in the proposal may reflect their service quality.
Ask for references and verify them. How long have they been cleaning? Are clients satisfied with the quality of service provided?
Professional cleaning companies use industry-standard equipment and eco-friendly products.
Know what to look for when evaluating their cleaning arsenal.
Backpack vacuums with HEPA filtration are the industry standard for increased productivity and dust control.
Environmentally friendly products that work as well as conventional cleaners while protecting workers and building occupants.
Microfiber cloths pick up dust and soil rather than moving it around like feather dusters and static dusters.
Material Safety Data Sheets on all cleaning chemicals. If they don't have them, consider this a red flag.
