5 questions you should ask an office cleaning company

So your office needs a good deep cleaning and you’ve decided to call in the experts. How do you go about choosing the right cleaning company for your needs? There are a few questions you should be asking.

1. What hours are they willing to work? 

You will of course want to clean your office with the least amount of disruption to productivity as possible. Therefore it is important to find out whether the office cleaning company is able to work at night or on weekends so as not to disturb everyone in the office. Reputable companies will be used to working non-working hours and therefore this shouldn’t be a problem.

 

2. What are their hiring practices? It is important that the people hired by the cleaning company to do the work are loyal and trustworthy and that all their references are checked before being hired. You definitely don’t want office equipment or personal belongings going missing after a clean.

 

3. What are their prices like? 

Compared to other companies, how does the company you’ve chosen weigh in? Have they included all you need in the price that they’ve quoted you? Are there any extras that they may be charging you that you’re unaware of? When comparing quotes make sure to compare apples with apples and choose the most cost effective yet reputable company as price isn’t always everything.

4. Do they have a good track record and contactable references? 

A sure fire way to find out whether a company offers excellent service or not is to speak to their customers. Were they happy? Dissatisfied? It may of course be difficult to glean this information from the company itself but sites like HelloPeter.com can offer a wealth of knowledge here.

5. What kind of tools and supplies do they use? 

Does the office cleaning company you intend to hire use biodegradable products or harsh chemicals? Do they have the right products and equipment for your environment, e.g. carpet cleaners, window cleaners, special products for real wood flooring etc.?

All of these questions should be answered with relative ease by the office cleaning company you intend on hiring. If they don’t, it’s time to look somewhere else.
