Here is How to Avoid Subpar Office Cleaning Services 

Choosing to outsource your office cleaning for the first time — or choosing to switch providers — can be a confusing time. Not only do you need office cleaning services that fit in the budget, but you need them to be valuable. It will be an investment, after all, and it needs to be one that pays off both short and long term. 

Here at All Building Cleaning Corp, we understand this struggle from a client perspective. That’s why we’re going to give you some top reasons why professional office cleaning services are worth the investment, what to look out for so you don’t get scammed and the type of prices you can expect.

Watching Out For Subpar Services

The first step for anyone looking to invest in office cleaning services is always searching around and asking people for referrals. This is a great way to get started and see what’s in the area. 

Most companies should allow you to reach out to them or request a quote on their website. But this is where things can get muddy and if you don’t pay attention to the details and fine print, you could end up paying for services that are overpriced, bare minimum or just nothing like what you want. 

You’ll want to beware of companies who:

• Don’t do a site visit: If a cleaning company gives you a quote without visiting your facility, you should just pack up and move on. How could a company give you a correct quote on cleaning your office if they’ve never even been there? They should want to make sure everything is right and that they can clean the kind of office you have. 
• Don’t have many testimonials/reviews: Although having reviews doesn’t necessarily make or break a company, if they have them you can see what people are saying about them a little more. If they’re all bad you’ll be able to move on. If they’re all good, it will motivate you to take a deeper look at the company and see if their services might fit.  
• Can’t detail their service for you: When you ask a company a question, they should be able to give you an answer right away. More importantly, if you ask them about one of their services they should answer you in detail about what you can expect and their process. If they can’t do that, then it might be a red flag. 
• Aren’t insured in every area possible: If a company doesn’t have insurance of every kind possible, don’t work with them. Period. Working with an uninsured company puts you at severe risk on both a personal and professional level and can cost you thousands down the road. 
• Have a lot of a la carte options: Although a la carte options are nice so you can add or remove them, it can sometimes be a sign that their basic services are not as all-inclusive as they seem. Make sure you have an idea of what you want so you can see if they have bundles or basic plans that cover everything you need. 

Now, none of this is to say that a company with a few of these items is bad. It might be that they just started it or haven’t had any customers review them yet. Still, you should pay attention to these things and make sure their company is the right fit for your business.

The Benefits of Investing in Office Cleaning Services

After reading all of the things you need to look out for when booking your office cleaning services, you might want to run the other way. But don’t! Just because there is one bad apple doesn’t mean all commercial office cleaning services are bad. 

In fact, investing in a regular office cleaning service can give you many benefits including:

• More time to focus on your business: Not only do you not have the time to focus on cleaning our office but neither do your employees. By hiring commercial office cleaning you can know that your space is clean and healthy while focusing on doing the tasks you need to be doing and increasing company morale. Your employees can also stay on track and complete their duties more efficiently. 
• Better motivation for employees: Employees really do flourish in environments that put their productivity and health first, especially in the times of COVID-19. If they feel protected and comfortable in the office, they’ll get more work done and be more productive at their jobs. Plus, they’ll love not having to take out the trash anymore. 
• More impact on customers: No customer likes a dirty office. Chances are, in fact, if they come into your office and see it’s dirty, they won’t be back. With a regular cleaning service, you can ensure you’re making good first impressions, therefore increasing your ROI. 

Most importantly, you’ll be able to be less stressed and know that you’re doing something good for your business. 

The Kinds of Prices You Can Expect

Identifying the exact price of your services won’t be possible until you get a quote from the business itself. However, based on industry trends we can give you a few estimates on what you might be paying for your office cleaning services. 

Hourly rates for an office can run from $20 to $80 an hour. Most charge somewhere in the middle, around $50 an hour. Some also charge by the square foot so the larger your office, the more you pay.

What type of industry your office is in will affect the price as well such as medical offices that need more deep cleaning and disinfecting.
