Cleaning services can make the difference between a facility that passes a health inspection or gets shut down, a business that invites customers or kills sales before they even walk through the door. At the same time, quality cleaning services cannot come at the expense of your business operations. In other words, they need to happen when it’s convenient for you and at a manageable cost.
Finding the best commercial cleaning company may take some work. But when you consider the results, a carefully considered choice will be worth the wait. So where do you begin?
Follow these steps to find the best commercial cleaning company for your property:
In the greater Albuquerque area alone, there are several choices for commercial cleaning companies—some national chains, and some, like Maintenance Service Systems, Inc. (MSSI), that are locally owned. You need to know what your options are before you can begin to determine which company will provide the cleaning and customer service you know you need.
Visit each company’s website to learn more about their cleaning capabilities and their company values. To help prevent you from getting lost in the marketing claims they make, look for proof that their services are really all they are made out to be.
Signs of a reputable commercial cleaning company include:
Of course, you will also want to make sure that they offer the type of cleaning services you need. A commercial cleaner that does not offer window cleaning when you have glass storefronts you want to keep spic-and-span, no matter how experienced and reliable, will not be your best choice.
You never have to take a commercial cleaning company’s word for their quality, reliability, etc. You can get more reliable information from the businesses they serve, so ask for references and call those businesses to find out how the company really performs. If possible, talk to businesses with similar cleaning needs to your own so that you know how well (or not) the company actually handles the cleaning needs, and possible specialty cleaning such as BBP handling, green cleaning, etc.
At this stage of the selection process, you should have around three commercial companies to choose between. These companies should provide the menu of services you need and assurances that they will deliver the quality and customer service they promise. So, all other things being equal, find out how much it will cost and get a quote for the services you need. Also, ask their sales or management team how much flexibility you have in customizing your services. For instance, can you:
In addition to the actual bottom line cost, you need to find out your terms of service. For commercial facilities that experience evolving cleanliness standards (as might be expected in the medical industry, for instance), you will want to ensure you contract covers the necessary extra or specialty services that your facility may need.
