Businesses hire outside help to clean their offices for several different reasons. Employees may not know how, or may not have the time, to clean their own offices. Or maybe the employees don’t know which cleaning supplies work best for places like bathrooms. Cleaning service companies can accomplish an assortment of different things and can be valuable assets for the businesses that hire them.
But no matter how hard you try to hire the right cleaning company for your business, you may find out later that the company isn’t as good as you originally thought. One of the signs you should look for is that they don’t arrive at your business on schedule, or worse yet, they don’t arrive at all.
You will be able to tell right away whether your cleaning service has shown up when they should have. Look for trash cans that have not been emptied, carpeted areas that have not been vacuumed, and bare floors that have not been swept or mopped.
It is very important that your cleaning service company cleans your bathrooms every day. If this isn’t done regularly it could become a health hazard for your clients and employees. And some cleaning companies only do the job halfway, like just cleaning the toilets or only cleaning the sinks. They may not clean the walls or the floors, or they may neglect to empty the trash containers. If you see this, you have hired a cleaning service that is not doing its job properly.
A cleaning company sometimes may subcontract other workers to come in and clean a business instead of sending their own workers in. This often happens because the cleaning service has taken on too much work. They are spread too thinly and cannot do all of their jobs themselves. In many cases the subcontractors aren’t trained properly and may not have good job skills. Subcontracted cleaners might also steal from your business. Unless you have camera security, you may not know until it is too late.
If your office has a strong chemical smell when you arrive in the morning, chances are good that your cleaning service isn’t using the correct cleaning products. They may even be using cleaning chemicals in certain places that they shouldn’t. It might be that they are using the same cleaning products for the bathrooms and the other parts of the office. This practice leads to cross-contamination and can create several health issues.
Another problems that some businesses have when dealing with cleaning services is that the employees that come in to clean, can’t speak English, and there are big problems communicating your needs to them. Look, any kind of business should never discriminate against anyone, but if your cleaning service can’t understand what you are trying to tell them, then there’s a problem.
If the person in charge of your cleaning company is always away on vacation or is otherwise not available when you need them, you should change to another cleaning service. You should not have to deal with any of these problems when so many other cleaning services will bend over backwards to get your business and make sure that your office is neat, clean and tidy, just the way you want it. If you are experiencing any of these cleaning company problems, or any other problems that are unresolved, then fire your cleaning service and hire another.
