4 Steps To Choosing The Right Janitorial Service

Cleanliness is a huge concern for any business these days. It’s important that your janitorial service is able to meet these needs so that employees and visitors continue to be safe, healthy and happy. But how do you go about choosing the right service?

Here are four factors to consider when making this choice.

Sustainability

Verify that the janitorial service you hire can provide green cleaning documentation such as a technical manual or policy statement. This protects your employees from harsh chemicals while ensuring that your office gets a thorough, deep cleaning. Also, ask the company about their equipment to ensure that it meets environmental standards for filtration and noise level.

Insurance

Don’t forget to ask for proof of insurance when hiring a cleaning company. Insurance provides a financial cushion in the event of an injury on the job, or other unforeseen but expensive problems. That means the cleaning company will not need to pass on any costs incurred by injuries or accidents to you, the consumer. It’s a sign of professionalism.

Reputation

If the company has a solid reputation, you will be able to obtain good references from their clients. Contact these clients and find out how happy they are with the service they’ve received. And strange as it may sound, but be wary of low prices. Often, low prices are an indicator of low quality, as you may end up paying more in the long run when a cheap company goes for “quick fixes” instead of quality work.

Pricing

If the pricing structure seems vague or fuzzy, take that as a huge red flag. Unscrupulous companies use such fuzziness to mask hidden costs. Make sure you know exactly what you are getting, and how much you’re going to pay.
