Ensuring your facilities are regularly cleaned is a priority, but who should perform this task. There are two options: hire employees to clean or outsource the cleaning to a professional cleaning service.
When running a business, there are so many considerations. In-house cleaning is a task that is unrelated to the usual business model and operations. It can be a significant drain on a company's overall performance. A business owner should focus on the day-to-day operations and primary business goals. By opting for professional cleaning services, you get better results and save money – plus, it is more convenient.
Let's look at the other benefits of outsourcing your cleaning to a professional cleaning company.
Never Short Staffed
When you hire your employees, they can call in sick, take vacations, have limited work hours, or require overtime pay. When you hire a professional cleaning service, you will always have coverage. Hiring a cleaning service means your cleaning will never be neglected because of a call-in. Professional cleaning companies employ an entire staff of trained professionals ready and able to work. Many companies also offer emergency cleaning services that will respond after hours.
They also offer scheduling that is most convenient for you, including day, night, or even day porter cleaning services. Hiring a professional cleaning service reduces stress because they guarantee services.
Professionalism
Reputable, professional cleaners know what they are doing. As your business specializes in the services or products it provides, so do commercial cleaning companies. They invest time and money in training employees and upgrading to the industry's latest cleaning equipment and techniques. In most cases, an in-house cleaner will not have access to these resources and cannot keep up with industry standards.
Commercial cleaning services make it their business to meet their clients' expectations. This motivation empowers them to provide excellent cleaning and customer service. They make it their business to know the ins and outs of the industry. They train employees to focus on attention to detail, solve problems, and implement proper service techniques the first time around. As cleaning is their specialty, maintaining a level of professionalism is their top priority.
Saving Money
Instead of paying a regular wage to an employee, professional cleaning services can customize a service plan to fit your needs and budget. First, a professional cleaning service will save you costs of recruiting, training, uniforms, and employee benefits.
You will also save money on cleaning equipment. After all, a reputable cleaning company will provide all the equipment and supplies needed to get the job done, not to mention industry-specific training. Many reputable companies also guarantee their work through a Quality Assurance Program.
Alleviating Tasks
With a business to run, you have enough on your plate. Why make it more complex by adding the task of managing a cleaning crew?
While you need to establish your business' expectations, the professionals take charge once you have chosen a cleaning service. Reputable companies will enlist a management team to oversee the work as well as the logistics of cleaning. They will handle staffing issues, procurement of cleaning products and equipment, communications, and quality assurance utilizing a system of checks and balances.
When you choose the right cleaning company, you can rest assured your facility will be clean and safe for employees and visitors.
Variety of Services
While everyday cleaning is the initial focus, you must also look at the big picture. Are there other cleaning needs to consider? Will you need a deep cleaning service from time to time? How about window washing, lite building maintenance, etc.?
With an in-house employee, you will likely have to outsource these additional services. But a professional cleaning service should be able to meet all your needs. They have the training and resources to provide you with service in all cleaning areas, so you do not have to hire multiple companies. They can also add any of these services when you require them, making it more convenient and flexible for you.
This saves you the time (and most likely money) shopping around for companies to perform the work.
Problem Solving
We already know that with the training professional cleaning staff receive, they know what they are doing. Along with training and expertise comes the experience of problem-solving. Professional cleaning services work with many different clients who have various needs. This provides the staff with the opportunity to implement a vast array of proven commercial cleaning solutions.
For instance, some commercial cleaning companies can provide post-construction cleanup. If you have a construction project planned, there is no need to look for someone to do this service. If you have new floors put in, a professional cleaning service will know how to clean them professionally.
Are there general maintenance conditions that need addressing? These are all situations that can lead to added stress. Fortunately, these are everyday situations cleaning companies face. They will know precisely how to handle the challenge making it easier for you to focus on your business.
Worrying about solving your cleaning problems will be a thing of the past when you leave things up to the professionals!
