It is better to choose a cleaning service that is branded, and you must ensure that they have some sample clean clothes before you order for the services. and should provide efficient workers for the job.
A few tips on how to choose a commercial cleaning service
Listed out below are a few points that focus on explaining some ways to choose the right commercial cleaning service for home or offices:
Established company
It is always better to stick with that cleaning company which is not new in this field of work and has already built a name for itself. It's better not to experiment with new services, when you can do a background check on old commercial cleaning services and find out all the necessary information about them. Yes, newer companies may demand less money but if you ultimately end up being dissatisfied with their work, then it's of no use.
List of services
Always be upfront with the people you want to hire and ask for their list of the services that they can offer. Starting from vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, many may include other services like carpet cleaning, mopping. You would also know, whether they would be able to provide you with whatever additional services you require.
Experienced workers
The employees of the cleaning service should be well experienced and maintain proper etiquette while working. They should be tidy and trustworthy, capable of handling machinery like vacuum cleaner and vapour mops. Also, in case of absence of one worker, the cleaning company should be able to send someone else instead, who would be equally capable of doing the job.
Proper contract
You should carefully go through the contract before signing anything. If you are unsure about something or want to renegotiate the terms and conditions, then never hesitate to do so. Since, once signed, there will be no backing out of it. Under such circumstances, see if you could get a one month trial period, if possible, before finalizing the deal.
Background check on the cleaning service
References from the past clients of the cleaning service would help to make up your mind about them. Before entering any sort of agreement, make sure to do a thorough background check on the cleaning service and its employees to protect your home or workspace. After all, the cleaners would be getting acquainted with your home or office after starting their work. You need to be positive regarding their reliability. It is important that you choose a reputed cleaning service, as this is reflected as part of your commercial environment. The kind of detergents that the company uses, and the way they keep the clothes clean and ironed, are important facts to check before you hire a commercial cleaning service.
They should have insurance
It is best to go with a commercial cleaning service, which is licensed and has insurance. If one of their employees ends up being injured while working for you, that employee could sue you under such circumstances. However, you would not have to worry about such problems if the commercial cleaning service has its insurance and if it is bonded.
Ask for a referral from someone you trust
Saved the best tip for last: Ask for a referral from a trusted source. Someone who knows the commercial cleaning service, and/or has used them before. Nothing beats a referral.
Thus, keeping in mind these above points could really help to choose a proper commercial cleaning service.
