Choosing a Janitorial Company

6/23/2015

16 Comments

 
Maintaining a clean and sanitary office is essential to the success of your business. Most companies will hire a professional cleaning service to take care of this rather than hiring a full-time janitor. A cleaning service will usually come in after hours, cleaning all areas of your office. You'll probably find several office cleaning companies in your city, so you'll have to choose the one that's right for you. At Your Service Cleaning Group, Inc. is the company you are looking for!

 Though you may be looking to save money, the company with the lowest cost isn't always the best deal. Here are the steps you should take when looking for a company and why to should choose us…

 Step - 1 Get price quotes from the companies in your area. The companies will have to visit your office to estimate the work. When you get this quote, ask for a list of services that they provide. Most will provide mopping, vacuuming, cleaning, and sanitizing of the bathroom and dusting. Some may provide carpet cleaning a few times a year, but it may or may not be included in the quoted price.
  • Why Choose Us - At Your Service Cleaning Group, Inc. gives free estimates and we can tailor make a plan that best suits your facility including carpet cleaning, VCT stripping & waxing, tile and grout cleaning and/or sealing . We can also offer specialized stone floor and counter top care that many other companies cannot offer because this type of work takes a highly trained and skilled team.
Step 2 - Ask to see proof of insurance. You want a cleaning company that has its insurance so that you can be sure that you will not be liable should a cleaner become hurt while cleaning.  
  • Why Choose Us - At Your Service Cleaning Group, Inc. is fully licensed and insured. A certificate of insurance can be sent listing your company as a certificate holder direct from our insurance company.

 Step 3 - Read through the contract. Most companies will want you to sign a contract, locking you into their service for a given amount of time.  
  • Why Choose Us - At Your Service Cleaning Group, Inc. uses a contract that you can understand. Services can be terminated at any time with a 30 day notice in writing however we know you will be 100% satisfied and you will renew with us for many years to come!

 Step 4 - Consider the experience of the company. Some companies will have years of experience behind them, which means that you can be sure that they've developed a system for cleaning and are comfortable handling any cleaning issues involved. 
  • Why Choose Us - At Your Service Cleaning Group, Inc. has been in business for over 10 years. We know this business inside and out!

 Step 5 - Get references from the company. A quality company will be able to provide you with references from its clients. Contact these references and ask how happy they are with the cleaning services that the company provides.
  • Why Choose Us - At Your Service Cleaning Group, Inc. has many satisfied clients and we can give references at any time. You will find that many of the clients we service have been with us for several years.

It really helped when you said that we should try getting price quotes from different companies first because this will also give you an idea of what services they are able to offer. I will share this tip with a friend of mine who told me that she will be hiring cleaning services for her office since she doesn't want to give the job to her employees because she wants them to focus on their tasks at hand. Thanks for the tips on how to choose a good janitorial company. This will help her a lot find the best one that fits her budget and needs.

getting multiple price quotes is a must. Just make sure you're comparing apples to apples. sometimes companies will try and find areas to cut corners in like the products they use. it makes sense to leverage other companies that specialize in these tasks too because if your employees are scattered in their tasks in doing productive actives and other tasks that don't produce any income like cleaning their office. Then you're being very inefficient.

I agree that you should ask to see proof of insurance from the janitorial service you choose. I like the idea of getting this directly from the insurance company, like you suggested. That will ensure all potential damage is covered.

Thanks for pointing out that we should ask potential janitorial companies to see their proof of insurance. My workplace is considering hiring a janitor soon. Your tips will be very helpful as we try to make a decision.

Obtaining the price quotes in my area is indeed a good idea to know if the janitorial cleaning service is willing to negotiate fairly with my company or not to clean the building we have. If we can ask to see proof of insurance as you suggest, hopefully, they'll accept and give us some proof so we can hire the right persons for the job. Since you also stated that we should read through the contract before signing up, I'll make sure this happens so that I'll know the extent of the services the janitors are willing to clean.

My mom wants to make sure that her shop is clean to attract more customers. It was mentioned here that when choosing a cleaning company, she should ask for the proof of insurance. Furthermore, it's recommended to go to a trusted cleaning company for quality work.

Of the things you listed here, I do think that getting price quotes from other companies would be a good idea to do first. That way, I can figure out what kind of budget I'd be looking at and what to plan for. I would also look at the companies past work to see what kind of work they do.

I found it interesting how you mentioned that we should ask to see proof of insurance. It makes sense that we don't want to be liable if the cleaner is hurt while doing their job. This is great to know, especially since my husband is thinking about opening his own business soon. Getting a janitor to clean the building would make his company look even better, which is a great advantage.

You said that we should read through the contract. It makes sense that this would help us with knowing everything that is involved with the janitorial service. I'll look for a cleaning service when my husband buys his first business.

It makes sense that one should consider hiring a cleaning service that has proof of insurance. I can see why that is important because some chemicals can harm the furniture. My sister needs to hire a cleaning service for her office, so I'll be sure to pass her the recommendations.
