Why making the wrong decision on an office cleaning services firm could mean a lot more than a dirty
wastebasket. |

|
Five key questions you must ask before selecting an office cleaning services firm |
Why is choosing the right office cleaning services firm an important decision? A clean and well-maintained building
adds credibility to an organization, showing professionalism and proving to workers that you care about their work
environment. Studies have shown that a clean work environment improves productivity.
Don’t become one of the many companies who thought they contracted with a qualified cleaning service company, only
to end up with more headaches. Follow these recommendations when selecting an office cleaning contractor to clean
your business or facility:
-
Make sure the cleaning service company is properly insured and bonded - this includes workman’s compensation
and liability insurance.
-
If you decide to contract with a large franchise cleaning company, make sure they aren’t subcontracting the
cleaning of your building to another firm that may not be qualified or insured.
-
Make sure the firm has the resources - equipment, employees, financial - to do the job the right way, on your
schedule, and be around next year.
-
Ask for a complete list of client references and follow-up with clients from your area, your industry, and your
facility type regarding the past performance of the cleaning company.
-
Check with the Better Business Bureau and the office of the State Attorney General to find out if any
complaints have been filed against the company.
These are simple questions, but crucial to making the right choice. If the answers aren't complete, don't provide
the details, or sound evasive, keep looking. Taking the time to find the right cleaning company for your facility
will save your sanity in the long run.
