Looking to Hire a Cleaning Company? Things To Know Before Signing a Contract

Hygiene, cleanliness, and sanitization is extremely important for a business. Whether it’s a retail store, office space or a warehouse, regular maintenance and care is crucial for business retention and customer and employee safety. A clean and hygienic surrounding helps a company stand out and be known for its values and ethics.

Are you looking to hire or sign a contract with a professional cleaning company? Here is what you need to know:

Research

The first step that involves conducting thorough research on the right janitorial company is crucial. With the number of ads online, it is easy for this exercise to get tedious and time-consuming. The most important aspect is experience. After you narrow down and make a list of cleaning companies, find out which one has a great performance score. How? An online search will give you the results you need. Ratings, reviews and website details will be very helpful in helping you determine their cleaning philosophy. A good cleaning company cares about ensuring safety, resolves issues quickly, and has the most up to date cleaning processes. Moreover, choosing the right type of cleaning service with the right company is a huge commitment for most businesses. You may have done your research but how do you decide who to trust? Most cleaning companies claim to be there in time of need. Make sure the company you decide to hire is there when needed, especially for emergencies that call for immediate response and solutions.

Cleaning service contract

The second step after researching for a cleaning company is to figure out the details of the contract. A cleaning service agreement is a contract made between the company that wants to get cleaning done and the janitorial company that is providing the services. Property managers, office managers or the building management need to go through the details outlined in the contract. The agreement also outlines the cleaning schedule such as weekly, monthly, bi-weekly or seasonal options. Some cleaning companies also provide an agreement for a single cleaning event. A well-drafted agreement includes a description of services, expected service levels, evaluation form, duties, the penalty of breach and other protocols that can help achieve an optimal level of cleaning experience.
