Ways To Locate A Good Building Cleaning Company

By Joe Hendrix


One important aspect of a building owner or leaser is keeping the area clean. Keeping the premises fresh looking and in good condition will attract clients or customers, while those that are messy or dirty repels them. In order to have a clean area it is important that the right building cleaning company be engaged for this purpose.

With commercially leased office spaces, the tenant is sometimes expected to take care of keeping their area clean. Depending on the size of the office, the cleaning crew may be one person or several. It is important that care be taken when hiring this kind of service. In some cases, the lease will include these services.

Any company that offers this kind of service should be carefully checked out. This would be the same as hiring a new, regular employee. References, as well as proof of a background check of the crew should be presented. An established company will have a number of crew members working on the premises.

Modern companies engaged in this business have the latest in equipment. In addition, they are using environmentally free supplies and will be reliable on working in a timely manner. The carpet, for example, may require work once a week or once every six months, depending on the area's traffic.

Companies engaged in this business are required to have worker's compensation insurance, janitorial bond coverage, and a license. The city involved will have a record of their license and they should present proof of their insurance. In addition, the crew involved should be familiar with the type of work that will be involved. As an example, working in a restaurant is a great deal different than working in an office building.

A top-notch crew, with several members, usually has similar uniforms and identification badges. This makes them easy to identify, by security personnel, when they are in the vicinity. Many times, there are important things left on desks or in other locations, and this reduces the possibility of an unknown person being on the premises.

There are a number of ways to find a good company. A search can be started by checking with friends, acquaintances, and other business owners. The Internet is also a good place to look. If the company is listed, there are usually customer comments that are helpful. In addition, the Better Business Bureau will show any complaints received.

When the right company is hired, it will have a crew that is not only experienced in commercial cleaning but can accomplish the work quickly and efficiently. They will present a schedule, which will show which work is to be done yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily. This kind of company often offers cleaning services when an area, such as a house or building, is vacated. Others specialize in cleaning outside areas only. With a careful selection of a building cleaning crew, the area involved will be sparkling clean at all times.
