If you own or run a commercial facility, one of the most crucial considerations before you will be about hiring the right janitorial service. With so many janitorial services in the market, choosing the right service for your property can be challenging.
So where do you begin?
In this post we will cover some of the important steps you need to take when hiring the right janitorial services for your commercial property.
Make a Plan
It is important that you have a plan in place before you begin your search for the right janitorial service for your commercial facility.
Do the following;
Identify your Janitorial Requirements
The first step in the right direction is to first identify your janitorial requirements. In addition to general office cleaning, you will need to make a comprehensive list of services you need for the other different surfaces (floors, windows, walls, carpeted areas etc.) and spaces/rooms within the facility.
Decide your Janitorial Cleaning Schedule
Once you have identified all the types of janitorial services you want, next it is important to decide the schedule you want the cleaning company to follow. Choose a schedule that is most convenient to your hours of operation.
Also decide the frequency of janitorial services you want for your commercial facility. Do you need it twice a day, or once a day, weekly, or bi-weekly?
Whatever you decide, remember, least disruption should be the end goal.
Plan your Budget
Once you are done with the above two steps, the next step is to set a budget. It is important that you are clear about your janitorial cleaning budget – especially if you run a tight ship.
This will also allow you to filter out janitorial cleaning companies who are out of your budget range.
Do your Research
Now you need to start looking around. While pricing will help you narrow down your search – there are a several other factors that you need to consider when hiring the right janitorial service for your commercial property.
Consider the following;
Reliability – choose janitorial services that have a trusted and reliable name in the market. Look for customer reviews, experience, level of expertise, and type of cleaning services the company offers.

It will help them in offering an accurate estimate. Plus you are bound to hire them. You can also continue to look around and match estimates from different janitorial services.
Customized Services – if the cleaning services company is willing to offer customized services, then it is a good indication of their level of professionalism and expertise. It is important that you select a company that is able to closely match all your janitorial service needs.
Competitive Pricing – since you already have your search narrowed down based on your budget, it becomes easier to negotiate a janitorial cleaning package that addresses your needs and budget.
Fast and Dependable Service – while you may agree on a janitorial cleaning schedule, in moments of an emergency, is the company able to address your needs? Can they offer fast and dependable services?
If yes, then they can be a good and dependable match for your commercial property.
Training, Certifications, and Cleaning Tech
