Do a Background Check

If you want to keep workplace cleanliness a top priority this year you will need to hire a team of professionals who you can depend on. Client feedback is the best way to gauge a cleaning service provider’s reputation and performance. Luckily, thanks to social media and ratings websites, information like customer reviews and testimonials are readily available at the click of a mouse. Take time to do a background check on your choice of cleaning company to see what previous customers have to say about their experience.

Review their Insurance Coverage 

You want a cleaning company that has comprehensive insurance coverage for their staff. This is to ensure that you will not be held liable should a cleaner become injured or hurt while cleaning up your office space. Request the service provider  to give you a copy of their insurance and do your part in reviewing the terms and conditions.

Check Their Services 

You will be investing company resources in your cleaning service provider so you must make sure every dollar is spent in a team who can meet your business needs. Different cleaning companies have different specializations, some only provide cleaning services for small residential units like condominiums and pads while others offer services for bigger spaces like warehouses and other industrial settings.A quality cleaning company will not only provide you with with a comprehensive list of their services, from window cleaning services to complete end of tenancy clean-ups, but also open to discuss your cleaning needs in detail.
