There are several things that go into having a successful place of business, starting with a great idea, creating a solid business plan and then hiring the right staff. One of the most overlooked aspects of having a great place of work is having a clean and sanitary area for your staff and clients to work and visit in. Many companies offer office cleaning in Tampa FL, but not each are necessarily right for your business. Below is a quick checklist of items you need to look for before signing on the dotted line with any office or janitorial cleaning companies:
Approved by Other Businesses
When looking into hiring an office cleaning company, start by asking other business owners in your network who they use or have used in the past. Gather the business names of five or more reputable companies, and start your hunt for the best cleaning company from there.
Fits Your Budget
Obtain a price quote from each of the companies recommended to you. The cleaning company will likely want to observe your office space first hand to give you as accurate a quote as possible. Ask for a list of the services that they are recommending and, if possible, the cost associated with each one. Most of these duties will include:
- Thorough sanitizing of the washrooms
- Dusting
- Mopping
- Vacuuming
If the price is too high, rather than cut services, consider having the cleaning service come over less often (i.e. once a week instead of three times). You may be able to take on some of the light surface cleaning duties yourself.
Experience and Training
Selecting a well-established cleaning company means that you’re hiring on a company that cares for its reputation and has a lot of experience in handling different cleaning situations. While interviewing the company, ask them what sort of training they provide for their staff (i.e. do they offer annual safety training and is the staff trained on how to use new and cutting- edge products and technologies that are being used to clean the office space). Most reliable cleaning companies will provide their staff with regular training to ensure that businesses like yours are receiving the safest and most sanitary clean possible.
Holds Proof of Insurance
Insurance is necessary if you do not want to be held liable for the company’s cleaning staff. Without insurance, you may be footing the bill for his or her medical expenses, wage loss, and other expenses that may arise due to injury.
Read the Fine Print
While the office cleaning company would ideally love you to sign-on for a year, the contract should allow, at minimum, allow for a trial period of one to three months so you can determine whether you appreciate their service. If a trial period isn’t possible, opt for a month-to-month contract.
