What to look for when choosing your office cleaning services
What criteria should you take
into account when changing or choosing a new
cleaning contractor?
Cleaning services have come a long way from someone turning up with a mop and bucket. Although, essentially, cleaning itself hasn't changed a great deal over the years, cleaning contractors have changed radically and in the they way they carry out their business.
Some of the things you should look for when choosing a cleaning contractor should include;
Formal training procedures for cleaners and staff
Security checked professional staff.
Good management with rigorous quality control procedures
Full insurances
Employment law knowledge including TUPE transfer skills
Health and Safety assessments and knowledge
How much experience do they have, do they have the infrastructure to deal with your requirments
Can they offer all your other related services such as washroom products or window cleaning
Strong environmental policies
Good reputation, ask for references or testimonials
No-one doing business is unaware of the need for reducing costs at the moment, so this is clearly going to be a major factor when switching to a new contractor. However be cautious of extremely low quotes, the price must be competitive but realistic, if it is not you should not be surprised when you find out that the contractor may be cutting back on a part of the service offered, be it training or the ability to cover the service during holiday periods something will surely have to give.
