If you’ve decided that a professional janitorial service is right for your business, you may still have some questions about what to look for in a commercial cleaning company. There can be several factors in deciding which commercial cleaning company is right for you, and some factors have greater direct impacts on your business and needs than others. If you’re looking to outsource your commercial cleaning work, these are some tips for hiring the right janitorial company the first time.

4 Tips for Hiring the Right Janitorial Company

  1. Understand their Cleaning Specialties Businesses may sometimes offer a long list of commercial cleaning services. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean they specialize in all of them. We offer a menu of commercial cleaning services ranging from construction cleaning to traditional janitorial services. Our trained cleaning teams perform these services on a regular basis. It’s important to hire a cleaning crew who is well-versed in the specific services you need. For example, you shouldn’t hire a company to clean your commercial kitchen if they are not familiar with food safety standards. We just want to stress how important it is to understand the company’s level of expertise with whatever types of cleaning tasks you’re asking them to perform.
  2. Read Customer Reviews Understanding who a company serves is more than just talking to a salesperson. Take the time to read customer reviews and testimonials to get a true picture of what it’s like to work with that company. Additionally, you should be able to ask to speak to an existing client to get their feedback first hand. Reviews from actual customers are the best way to understand what to expect when partnering with a company for your commercial cleaning needs.
  3. Ask About Insurance We cannot stress enough the importance of making sure that your commercial cleaning company is insured. In addition to making sure your property is protected, you need to be sure that your business is protected. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured to make sure that you do not have to worry about any legal or insurance issues when hiring us. Ask if the cleaning service your company is considering is insured, and be sure to ask to see proof. Any company that is properly insured should not hesitate to show you their paperwork.
  4. Review Their Online Footprint Looking at a company’s online footprint can be a helpful way to understand what types of projects they’re actually working on. Just because a company offers a commercial cleaning service doesn’t mean it’s one they provide regularly or have true expertise in. Reviewing their website, business Facebook page, Google Business Profile, and other online properties can help you understand what they’re actually doing and how they truly manage their customers. This is valuable insight into how a company actually operates on a day to day basis.
