Choosing the right cleaning company for your office or commercial premises is a big deal, especially if the responsibility sits on your shoulders. Get it right and you will enjoy a clean and healthy working environment, your staff will be pleased to sit down everyday at their freshly cleaned work stations. Get it wrong and you may endure a year or more of complaints and misery.
If you are an office manager or responsible for the running maintenance of the premises you will have no doubts come across this very dilemma. Choosing the right cleaning company for the job. There is a vast plethora of cleaning companies operating these days and believe it or not the level of service they offer can range from a scale of excellent to absolutely appalling. But how can you spot the ones to avoid and the ones that you should be short listing.
Here are some pointers that I believe will give you a clue. How long have they been in business? This is always a good place to start, generally if they have been established for a decent amount of time they will be able to provide a list of references that span a period of time, ask how long they keep their contracts. Do they have the
basic issues covered? A credible health and safety policy, vetted staff, an adequate insurance policy in place. These may be taken for granted by a purchaser when they see a smooth looking brochure or web site, but buyer bewares! Because there are many fly by night operators in the cleaning industry.
Another major indication is cost, make sure before you invite cleaning companies to tender for the job; you have prepared a specification or list of all your requirements. This should ensure that the quotes will be on a level playing field, it can be difficult or confusing for office cleaning purchasers to compare quotes and establish value for money if they are all specifying different things.
Once you have your quotes back in check them and you should see that the reputable companies have costed the job similarly, although you may well be tempted, it would be wise to disregard that unbelievable cheap quote. Logic tells you that it will proberly result in the complaints and misery that I mentioned earlier.
Remember to do a little research on your cleaning provider, check to see if there is any press articles on them and always contact the references provided. If you follow this guide and use your own intuition you should make a good choice.
