Pitfalls Of Hiring An Office Cleaning Company – Part 1

Outsourcing your contract cleaning requirements can represent significant benefits for your business providing you choose the right cleaning company to partner up with.

However the most important consideration is to be clear in your mind that you can actually afford to do this.

Only one in four businesses in the United Kingdom can afford contract cleaning services so do the sums first, otherwise you run the risk of hiring a cheap sub standard company that will provide you with cheap sub standard cleaning.

Once you are satisfied you can afford to outsource your commercial cleaning the next step is to get quotes.

The best place to search for a perspective cleaning company is Google using www.google.co.uk and searching with key words or phrases such as:

Office Cleaning/Office Cleaners/Contract Cleaning/Contract Cleaners/Cleaning Company/Commercial Cleaning/Commercial Cleaners/Cleaning Services/Contract Cleaning Services/Office Cleaning Services/Cleaning/Cleaners/Cleaning Business

Make sure you add your locality to the search e.g. Office Cleaning London or Office Cleaners Bristol Etc.

This is very important as you will need to find a cleaning company local to you.

The head office of the cleaning company should be within 4 miles of your business location.

Cleaning companies that operate nationally tend to provide on average acceptable cleaning in any particular town but seldom provide good cleaning so pick a local Cleaning Company.

Statistical evidence shows that complaints are 45% greater where the cleaning companies head office is more than 4 miles away from your business location and almost 60% greater where it is more than 7 miles away

At this stage you will also need to select a Contract cleaning company that specialises in your sector.

If your business is a nightclub you will need an office cleaning company that specialises in this field or has vast experience within this sector

You could even refine your search to Night Club Cleaning/Night Club Cleaning London

You should select about five contract cleaning companies of which all are local and have experience within your sector

You should then read each ones website and select 3 which meet your criteria

Some of the cleaning companies will not meet your criteria for various reasons

For arguments sake they may only offer a minimum of 20 hours a week or you are tied into an annual contract
