Are you looking for a commercial cleaning service? Whether you are looking on a bulletin board, the Internet, or the newspaper, it is important to professional, qualified cleaners. How your business is presented speaks volumes about who you are and what you represent. Dirty and untidy areas are noticeable to both customers and clients. Although it can be time consuming, taking the time to find the right crew to clean will lead to less headaches and better satisfaction.

Generally speaking, there are two types of cleaning companies: larger chain companies and smaller, privately owned businesses. Each type offers pros and cons. The larger organizations may offer better equipment and more efficient services, but they can often be more expensive. Smaller, "ma and pa", businesses can be just as reliable, less expensive, and offer more custom services. Understanding your cleaning needs before contacting any company will help in selecting the right service crew.

Does the company have insurance? Because cleaning crews are permitted in your business (often when no one else is around), it is important to choose a trustworthy company. Unfortunately, just trusting another business does not fully protect you today. So, choose a company with insurance. Any legitimate company will be happy to provide you with proof of insurance directly from their broker. Do not accept photocopies of their certificate, because this does not verify if the cleaning company's insurance is current.

To better protect yourself, you can look for bond certified companies. These organizations have invested a certain amount of money into an escrow account to be used in case of damaged, broken, or lost property of their clients. You will want to verify proof of their certified bond.

Another important step in selecting the right service is references. The easiest way to accomplish this is asking a friend what service they use. However, because there are so many companies, it is possible that friends are not aware of the organizations you are considering. Therefore, ask the commercial cleaning service for a list of references and then call them.

Verify how long those other organizations have been using their current service crews. Make sure they are pleased with the services rendered. To further investigate the company, go online and do an Internet search for reviews about the cleaners. Although there may undoubtedly be a few negative reviews, verify what the issue was and compare them to the number of positive reviews. Finally, check with the Better Business Bureau to see any reviews the company may have.

After you have verified the validity of the organization, do a walk through with the potential cleaners. Ask what services they will render and what their limitations are. A few questions to consider include: Will the dust the top of the door frames? Will they water the plants? How often will they come and will they be there at a consistent time? Will the same employees be cleaning your business or does it vary from shift to shift?

When you have found a company that you are satisfied with, it is important to go over the contract together. Make sure that all of the things that have been discussed are included in the contract including how often and to what extent the crew will clean. Make sure there are provisions in the contract that allow you to drop the service if they do not live up to your agreement. Although this can be a time consuming process, you will have better peace of mind knowing you choose the right cleaning service.
