Three Main Factors to Consider When Contracting a Cleaning Company

Domestic and commercial office cleaning business is lucrative. As a result, there are many cleaning companies that are being established to claim a share of the wide market. Unfortunately, most of these excited operators don't have what it takes to offer quality cleaning services. Even if they have the basics, they are likely to do a shoddy job. To ensure that you only contract the best domestic or commercial cleaning companies, one should consider three main factors.

1. The Staff Composition and Skill Set

If you hire a quack, you should be ready for a slapdash cleaning job, it is that simple. Don't be fooled by the impressive offers and the well crafted and designed proposals. It is easy to detect which company has competent staff by reading through their proposal. Phrases like "some/most/majority of our staff" for having done and trained in one thing or the other, are vague and suspicious, and shouldn't be believed. If indeed the cleaners are college graduates, there is no harm in having their resumes and copies of their credentials in a file for client's scrutiny.

Some smart entrepreneurs hire a few professionals and showcase them as samples to the clients, and fill up the rest of the positions with quacks. You obviously don't want to believe someone was trained in the use of ladders only for the fellow drop off the fifth floor like a stone. Closely related to this is the level of experience, how long has each of the staff been in the industry? What of the business? Consider a more experienced company as they likely know what to do and when to do it and how to deliver the best quality services.

2. The Cleaning Company's Location

There are spaces that have to be cleaned frequently, at times on a short notice. Say you have an emergency board meeting on a weekend. You will need the board room cleaned immediately. This can only be possible if the cleaning company is located nearby. Knowing where the company is located, especially the address is also important as it makes tracking of cleaners who might be tempted to take off with personal or office equipment easy.

3. Licensing and Insurance

Many people and business in urgent need to contract some services fail to review whether the cleaning companies are registered and insured. Unregistered companies risk being shut down by the authorities any time. This means that they are incompetent and unfit to handle the job. In the same breath, are the cleaners insured against on-duty risks? You don't want to be held responsible for any eventualities at work. Take your time and review these details to stay out of trouble.

Considering the three factors before contracting any cleaning company guarantees one of quality cleaning services and value for money
